People often claim that destiny is unchangeable and cannot be engineered. However, in reality, we can change destiny itself.

Depending on the effort we put into shaping our destiny, it can be altered with the help of a miracle from the Creator.

This happened to Adis. After his encounter with Diapthora opened a new gate, he is now faced with a mysterious book that gives him indirect power. O'l Frainus aka Old Friend.

People who have read the book always have different first experiences from each other.

Adis, likewise, did not anticipate being confronted with a situation that would reintroduce him to the very concept of strangeness.

【Congrats! You have gone through all the processes to gain a basic understanding of the Astral Power of the Astal World】

“Hahh... huhh… hahh... l-l-again? What's with all that?”

While Kraun was stroking his hairy chin, right in front of him, a young man named Adis was having difficulty controlling his gasping breath.

"This is interesting. Maybe I need to record it on a new journal page," concluded the Raccoon while nodding.

O'l Frainus, which was in Kraun's hand, suddenly released and then floated to open each page quickly. The sheets of paper opened, a gentle wind swirled in a circle around the book, then a few moments later, about 12 pages tore and floated above Adis.

Forgotten symbols appear to form lines that merge with each other. Wisdom, Strength, Courage, Power, Tenacity, Justice, Ruthlessness, Cruelty, Fear, Weakness, Freedom, and... Greatness.

12 forgotten symbols, 12 rune characters symbolizing events, and 12 promises embedded in the covenant's monument of knowledge appeared one after another.

Kraun's mouth dropped open in astonishment.

Even though he was previously one of the great Librarians in the Lavinus Kingdom, he had never seen a phenomenon like this.

"Good grief! By the Goddess of Fertility, was what I just saw real?!”

【Thanks to your blessings as Friend of the Starless Child, the existing of the 12 Runes that had been forgotten reappeared, and gave color to the Astal World for the second time】

【Congrats! Now O'l Frainus recognizes you as the traveler in the Astal World. Gain Wisdom attribute points +2】

【Status】

Agility : 4

Intelligence: 4
Wisdom: 6

【Distribution Points: 3】

After all, 12 runes glowed brightly and shattered into dust grains that spread in all directions. The floor of the room slowly gave rise to thin grass with several dandelions growing abundantly with their shoots glowing faintly.

"This room... this room became the magic of Astal?!"

Kraun's eyes widened and he leaned forward, but didn't, and tried to calm himself again while clearing his throat softly.

Meanwhile, Adis was still lying on the worn sofa near the stairs.

He was still holding his head, but the pained expression that made the young man's face look pitiful was now the look of a newborn baby.

So calm, relieved and warm.

There was no sign of the painful expression like before.

"Mr. Adis... are you feeling better now,... Mr. Adis?"

Unfortunately, Adis was still in a daze and didn't know what happened to him. With this, he has twice experienced and experienced something unpleasant. However, even though all of that gave him pain, at least all the constitutions on his body had improved.

He still didn't realize this and felt that it was all a bad thing. Adis himself did not think that he would encounter something unpleasant.

Kraun just let out a sigh of relief and O'l Frainus, which was floating above Adis now came back down right onto the counter.

“W-what was that?” Adis asked tremblingly.

"Stay calm. You have received recognition from O'l Frainus and thanks to that, now your body constitution has undergone changes. If you don't believe it, try checking whether the words coming from a former librarian are true or not," he answered, while closing the cover of O'l Frainus.

"Constitution... body?"

Kraun nodded slowly, put his monocle back in his pocket and wiped the cover of O'l Frainus. The title of the book disappeared and returned to the plain book cover it was.

“O-oh... so that's how it is...”

With hesitant hands, Adis checked Kraun's words, and unexpectedly, all of his attribute stats increased rapidly. Apart from that, he also still has three points that he has not had time to distribute to other attributes.

There was also the blessing he received from Pandora, as well as the strange feeling that emerged when he tried to squeeze her hand several times.

“I-there's something strange about my body”

“That's what they said the first time they realized the changes that had occurred in their own bodies. "Both lost travelers and myself have experienced it," said Kraun while placing his hands on the table.

"Is it true?"

"Of course. In fact, I must congratulate you for being successfully recognized by O'l Frainus.”

Hearing that, Adis corrected his body position and sat facing Kraun.

“This means you have received quite a great blessing. Not only with The Child, but you also succeeded in making O'l Frainus aware of your existence in this Astal."

“I-I don't really understand. Should I think of it as something good or not?”

"Ha ha ha ha. Of course, that's a good sign and since you've already shown me something interesting twice. This time it's my turn to give something.”

The raccoon, the book and information shop keeper, placed a worn brown scroll tied by a dead-knotted black rope on the table.

“This is a wish scroll. If you accept it, you will get a reward, and vice versa. Now... the choice is yours, Mr. Adis”

“Request… scroll?”

Even though Adis hoped to get a clue from Kraun's expression, the Raccoon didn't change his expression at all. Because of this, Adis became increasingly confused and didn't know what to do.

When a request has been completed, a reward awaits, as it is true. However, this also does not rule out the possibility that he himself will encounter something dangerous. Like a saying, Adis once heard... high risk, high reward.

Adis didn't know what kind of request Kraun had made of him. Is the request malicious or not? That's what he thought.
