As I tackled my journey towards the eastern part of the mountains, I devoured every small monsters that encountered. The book is just few centimeters in front of me. I have also known that I could fully manipulate the White Book.

I can make it float wherever I want but just not too far away from me. I can also open the White Book's pages just by thinking about it.

A big smile was painted on my face when I knew this. The hell!! This is very convenient. Okay, okay! Let me calm my mind and continue hunting.

I do not want to meet strong and massive monsters because when I was practicing Devourer, I noticed that the size of the black hole was small. It was only about 1 metre in diameter.

I tried to make it wider, but Sy said that my body cannot take the pressure from black hole yet. It also needs a lot of control and focus because it may devour things uncontrollably.

Sy said that the only way to make the black hole bigger is to raise its skill proficiency. But based on my observations, it is very slow to raise. As expected of G+ Rank Skills.

After traveling for quite some time, I finally reached the eastern part of the mountains. I did not check the town because I know thay it is populated of monsters now, it usually takes 1 to 2 weeks to reclaim towns that have been attacked by monsters.

Before starting to find Granny and Kniana, I checked my stats first on Page 1 of the White Book.

I have noticed that Thermal Sensitivity has been moved to (X) Rank (Rare). Was it overwritten when I devoured a higher version of the skill?

That's it for now. I must find Granny and Kniana now. I just hope that they have gone towards that 'place'.

Trees, wild grasses, countless bushes, and small wild animals can be seen as I walk forward. The eastern part of the mountains is a lot safer than the western part. This is because this part is nearer to the town, thus it became the playground and hunting site of some magicians.

I did not saw any other monsters to devour, so my traveling pace became faster.

After walking for almost 2 hours, I finally reached a small wooden cabin hidden by a lot of trees and plants. This is my father's cabin. Seeing it again after 5 years passed, many memories suddenly flooded my mind.

'Dad.'

This place is also the reason why I did not worry too much about those two's safety. I know that when I told Granny to go to the eastern mountains, they would go here.

I hurriedly walked into the door and knocked. The door looks old and dirty already. Not only the door, but the whole cabin is almost on the verge of destruction. It is reasonable though, this cabin was empty for almost 5 years.

I took a deep breath before knocking again.

"Granny Cyn? Granny Cyn. It's me, Khuan." As I said those words, I heard footsteps going towards the door.

The wooden door then opened as it made a creepy sound.

"Khuan? Thank goodness you are safe. Kniana, your brother is here."

After giving me a warm greeting, Granny gave me a big hug.

"Brother! You're back!" an excited high-pitched voice suddenly came from the back. It was my little sister. Kniana displayed a big smile after seeing me hugging Granny.

"I'm back you energetic brat, did you make Granny angry?" I mockingly said to Kniana while patting her head.

"I did not, I am a good girl you know." she said while removing my hand and then swayed her hair.

"You're already 15 years old, so you better help Granny with the chores. Do not let Granny exhaust herself."

"You two, stop that already. Khuan go rest in one of the rooms. I already prepared it in advance for you. I know that you are tired, so rest. By the way, thank you."

Granny hugged me again but this time, it was tighter. I can also feel the sincerity in every word that she just said. I hugged her back too. I am really thankful that these two are safe.

After washing my self up, I then proceeded to sit in a small chair which is next to an old, small wooden table. There, I ate my dinner together with Granny and Kniana. It was the rabbit the I hunted back then.

Of course, I did not let them see it suddenly appearing from the book so I moved it to my bag first before giving it to Granny.

Kniana became super excited, this was because we can only eat meat sometimes. It was quite pricey for commoners like us.

However, that ends right now. I have lots meat stored in my inventory now, and they seem to not rot to when stored in the White Book's Inventory.

After making our bellies full, I said that I wanted to talk to them first before sleeping. However, Granny said that I should rest first so after eating, we all proceeded to our beds.

- -

'Ha! Thank goodness I am finally reunited with these two. I was really worried back then. That aside..….this...'

I looked at the medium-sized white book lying in a small wooden bed table beside me. Aside from the black orb at the center and the black markings, it almost looked like a normal old book.

I reached the book and scanned it again. It is 5 x 8 inches in size and 1.5 inches in thick, quite decent size for a book.

However, in contrast to what I found in the chest from that cave, this looks similar, but not too similar. You know what I'm saying? The previous book was majestically white in color, but this one looks like linen white. The previous one has bo carvings too, it was clean, not like this one that has various weird black carvings.

Let's also not forget that this one has a black orb in the center in the front of thr book cover.

"It this because of the fusion of the White Book and the Demon Orb?"

After pondering for some time, I could only believe that the black orb in the middle is the Demon Orb and this book is the smaller version of the White Book.

"...…"

Okay, okay, let's stop overthinking my mind. Let's just be thankful that I got lucky in having this Mythical White Book, or should I say 'Corrupted White Book'?

With this, I can finally become stronger, and I can surely provide a better life for Granny and Kniana.

'Yosh, let's kill some monsters tommorow and grind some skills.'

Oh wait, I almost forgot my stat points from leveling up.

"Sy."

After I said that word, the book immediately floated towards me. I opened the book cover and proceeded to Page 1 where my stats are located.

Since, I am basically the shield of those two as we move to the next town in the next days, I will invest some in VIT. I need to put some AGI and STR too to grind faster tomorrow.

When I get enough points tomorrow, I might as well put some on MP because magic is my main weapon now and INT to boost the rate of learning my skills, maybe it would even help in speeding up my skills' proficiency.

"Yes, this looks okay."

After having a final look at the contents of Page 1. I closed the book and stored inside the bag next to me. I took some time to remember all the things that happened this past few days.

'This will really be a major turn in our lives.'
