Chapter 006 - The Last Wish & The Book

"Shezmu Clan was once belonged to an ancient forgotten race, the ancestors of your clan knew that. They were trying to recreate the original race."

The narrator who was related to Finn's supposed ancestors, Continued his last wish...

"They almost succeeded. The last step was to awaken the rest of the abilities which were already spread through the territory. In order to do that you just have to collect the books of inheritances and make the bloodpacts..."

Narrator took a deep breath and sighed...for the last time.

"I already modified your book so that it can absorbes other books, once this recording stopps you will officially inherit the book. Every Book owner can sense other books' presense. You have to take care of this yourself-"

The audio started to distort...

"...Be aware of the 1st clan...Heka...they can...devo...vo...r...aad..aas....Fi...Find....m....Labo...r...tory....U....will...fi....nd...res.....my....laas.....wis..."

And the audio-visual cut off from there...

"Wha-what was all thaaat?-my god"

"What is what?"

"Huh?"

"Did you see a nightmare or what?"

"Nightmare-"

Finn gazed around and found himself laying on the floor. He mumbled himself-

"Was that all just dreams?...No way...It can't be...Appear!"

The book suddenly appeared on his hands. He opened the last pages of the book hurriedly.

"The fuc*"

"What are you doing? Did you lose your sanity by hitting your head on the floor when you fell asleep on the chair and fall down?!"

Finn didn't pay any attention on Galliyan's words and focus on the book's pages. There were new words on the page.

"Successfully awakened Shezmu Clan's bloodline"

"Bloodlines yet to awakened - twelve"

"Currently five senses have been enhanced due to monster race bloodline and elf race bloodline"

"Shezmu Clan bloodline special authority-

Blood - you can absorb bloodlines from living or dead lives. Already absorbed bloodlines - Fifteen."

"Monster race bloodline (too shallow concentration) :- Crimson eyes have been awakened. Yet to awaken the vision Authority"

"Elf race bloodline (medium shallow concentration) :- Long pointy ears have been awakened. Hearing Authority has been succesfully achieved"

"Minimum level authority acheived"

"The succesor can read the next Five pages of the inheritor book"

Finn turned the next page, there were only few lines written on it-

"Hwak can gaze it's prey from millions of miles away,

A cat's eyes can break through the darkness,

Dogs have a wider view,

Owls have binoculars insteed of mobile eyeballs,

Snakes can see temperature through their eyes-

Now, the fu*k you can do with your eyes? How much can you use your eyes anyway?"

Finn got dumbfounded...He wanted to through the book in a trash can...He thought there will be another cute rhyme...But how rude?...He turned the next page while twitching his eyebrows.

"Monster race parents throw their children into the wild and watch them survive without helping...

Sorry boy, you gotta do it yourself...we don't know the proccess either...maybe you can try to absorbe their bloods...who knows...survive yourself outta there

- your lovely ancestor"

" I don't have an ancestor like you, god-dammit"

"Any-way what is in the next page..."

He turned the next page and found a map on it. The map is covering two of the consecutive pages. On the map there were 39 dots on it. 13 red dots and 26 blue dots. In 26 blue dots two of them are too fade to notice.

He understood what it means. It was the last words of the narrator. He turned the next page. There were few lines written on it.

"Red dots - King Rank Book Of Inheritances

Blue dots - Knight Rank Book Of Inheritances"

There were something written at the bellow of the book.

"Caution - Your Knight Rank Book Inheritators are in life threatning danger"

Finn got a little bit scared from the last line. He was scared of the responsibilities to take. He was a responsible kid untill his father and mother were alive. But after their deaths he became a free bird.

He already took in Galliyan out of responsibilities towards Utokai and Galliyan's sister's sacrifices to save them. But now he got two more burdens to take care of.

He was already sure, that his life is in great danger due to the book. If he was alone he can die without regrets...but now he got three more people with him.

He turn the next page which was the last page. There was only one short line was written-

"To Be Continued"

"Why you damn ancestor piece of shit, I am already burdened with these much works...and you are giving me short time heart attacks with your little cute jokes"

"Hello! Finn! Finn!"

Galliyan was calling him for a while but he didn't pay any attention to him for a while. Finally, his words reached Finn's ears...

"Yes! What is it?"

"So, what are doing with the book? won't you eat dinner and sleep?"

" Sleep? What sleep? We are leaving right now! Pack your luggage!"

"Huh? Right now? Didn't you say we will live tomorrow morning?"

"No we are leaving right now, Go and Pack your luggage?

"I have already packed mine, only you didn't pack your bag"

"Oh"

" Anyway what about dinner?"

"We will buy meat buns from the market. Meet me after 5 minutes front of the gate, I will pack my bag and go to toilet for a bit"

"Okay"

After few minutes,

They were walking on the street after buying a packet of buns.

"By the way Finn, why you were with your bag when you came to Utokai's house that day?"

"Because Utokai sent a little boy to me with a messege- "When you will come, come with all of your important lugages"

"oh"

"So, where are we going?"

"We are going to rescue my knights"

"Are you a king or what? You sure gave the aura of a divine being"

"Aura?"

"Don't you see? People are watching you wherever you are going"

"Huh?"

Finn has extra-ordinary senses. But he doesn't have enough stamina or energy to maintain that ability. He doesn't have complete control over it either. He quitely watched them from his corners of eyes and straight went to a nearby clothe shop.

"Boss, give me a robe for full body"

"You sure need. Your news has already spread through the whole village. "

"What?"

"Yes. Can't you feel their gazes?"

"What is the price?"

"This one is waterproof. You need it in the rain."

"Give me two of them. Other one is for him"

"Oh! Him? I don't know if I have his size. Wait for a while"

"Brother, Do you know the routes?"

"Yeah right! The book's map only has a terrain map"

"I found it. There were only few left for his size"

"Thank you, how much?"

"It will be 470 Aqua"

"Ok, Can you tell me where can I found a good map of the Five elemental Continent?"

When Finn first saw the dots, he found that the knights were not very far, they were in Five elemental continent. May be because they were instructed to wait for the successor in water country. But they left Water country after waiting for the successor for thousands of years.

" You are in luck! My brother is a geologist. I can give you one in low cost"

"Thank you! Kind Sir"

"Take it! It will cost 200 Aqua everywhere but I will ask for only 140 Aqua. But you just give me 600 Aqua for total"

"Thank You very much...I won't your kindness"

"Don't worry! By the way are you an official of the Upheaval Royal Council? Those 12 Great clans have some elves under them. Are you also?"

Finn finally understood the cause of attentions on him. But even if he can fool others by giving his idenity as an elf, the 12 clans already have informations of his ancestors' handiwork. They won't be so easily decieved.

"Haha I guess... is that so obvious?"

"Oh no! Nevermind...we feel secure because of the royal council. We should be greatful"

So that's the reason for his kindness towards him. But he can't do anything about that. he left the shop with Galliyan.
