Book of Idle Immortal

13th July 2020, Monday.

After a long vacation for controlling Covid pandemic. Everybody has their own thought of starting another bothersome day from today onward.

Lin Hang is a 2nd year student this year. Not long ago, he got transferred to Sixth High in Cirebon City. As for a reason behind it, his foster parents are a Javanese.

It's so good that Lin Hang's parents returned their homeland in time before the disturbance of Coronavirus. So he is already staying here for few months.

In this dry season, the temperature difference between the Ciayumajakuning region's day and night was huge. During the day, even if one was wearing shorts he could dried like a salt fish; yet during the night he had to curl up on his bed with a blanket, freezing like a cat.

Who knows, Lin Hang's fate would change so drastically from today onward. What a frickin' luck, he has here?!

Sixth High School, Cirebon.

Achoo!

He has just come out from Teacher Room, but to have himself sneeze in these hot days.

"Who is talking about me?" murmured him while looking toward the heaven.

Lin Hang rubs his nose that feels a bit itchy.

Yawn~ What a frickin' luck, I have here. Thought him after punished by his Chemistry Teacher for sleeping in class at his first day.

He shook his head and continue walking toward his class to take his bag before going back home. As his class is Science One, right before sports field. He took a shortcut from center field while yawning.

Only he struck with a sudden enlightenment, em, a sudden enlightenment. For someone with eco-energy saving personality, withstanding a strike of hot light of the sun would be too demanding. What a foolish choice of mine?! Thought him while blocking sunshine atop him. Then, um...

Bang!

A pain instantly filled his head, while he saw the stars spinning around him. Anger begins to fill his mind and about to explode with a loud shout. But, he stopped right there with a sigh.

Is he really not angry? No, of course not. Instead, he was very, very much angry. Only too lazy for lashing out. Beside the other party would come to him, to take his things. Hehe~ He could get his revenge in a better way.

"Ugh, what is this?" mumbled him looking at a big black book while rubs his head.

It looks a bit too classic or antique, with a black colored hardcover and golden-red rimmed. You could see this book is too big and thick. He really wondered how his head is still alright with a concussion against this book. Also, how the hell someone able to throw a big book like this.

To have this big thing dropped right above his head needs someone athletic skill to throw it from a second floor. He instantly stands up at the thought, looking around only found out any finding.

What a freakish strength he needs to throw this thing? No, no, it is impossible.

As he stands there for quite some time, a perspiration starting to flow on his cheek. Without any clue, he could only pick that book and return to his class.

If he could think a again for a while, he should be able to see something strange around a sport field. As sport field only takes two standard basket field means it was quite small space already, so everyone around it could see clearly what happen inside the sport field. But, for some reason no one saw him not mentioning about helping him after being hit by such a big book.

Um, normally it would be quite a big incident.

At Class Science One.

"This book is such a pain in the ass. It's reasonable for someone to toss it away."

He turned the book and saw a big word written in Indonesian.

[Buku Immortal Pengangguran]

Eh...

He rubs his eyes, then the character written there change again. It's written in Classic Chinese beautifully.

What the? He rubs his eyes again. Today, he indeed learned language subject, but, how come...

The word change again, it is English this time. Well, today is English subject so it is written as [Book of Idle Immortal].

"Is this book has some black tech. Something like smart screen or the likes."

He tried to touch the book's title. But, only found out there is no trick behind it. There is light of interest sprouting in his eyes that slowly turned into little stars.

He murmured, "Book of Idle Immortal. Um, what a perfect book for someone like me..."

Eh? Why did I think it like that as if it was mine...

"Well, it might be mine if there is no one looking for it. I should wait it in a week, maybe," Lin Hang corner mouth curled upward.

He took his backpack, a crumpled looking bag. Fortunately, he only brought one notebook and two pens. With this more than 3 kilograms book to bring back, he would use much energy. Which was a pain in the ass for someone like him.

.

Lin Hang took out Book of Idle Immortal and put it on his table right at the corner. Looking at it for a while before taking a bath and sleep for a while.

And then, there is nothing. He awaited that book owner for two weeks, but to no avail.

*****

27th July 2020, Monday.

It's already entered the 3rd week he come to school.

Lin Hang is already asking someone for a few times, like "Is there anyone losing a big book?" or "Is anyone looking for a black covered book?".

But, after learning the book description, anyone would look at him with a weird expression. As if they say, "Are you fools? Who in the right mind bringing a big and heavy book like that around?"

IF he thinks about it again, "yeah... Who in the right mind bringing a big and heavy book like that. Not to mention he could even toss it on my head right about ten meters in the middle of the field."

Lin Hang looks at the sky while daydreaming in the class. For the last two weeks, Lin Hang, the transferred schoolmates would always act like that. So no one come to warn nor reprimand him, even Teacher become too lazy to talk about it.

Ding Dong~ Ding Dong~

When the school finished, he hurries back home.

In front of his study desk, he looked at a big, thick and heavy black book with lone title [Book of Idle Immortal].

It's not that he never touches it again, he is already trying to open it for a few times. But, like it was glued with Super Brand Glue, it isn't opened nor budged a bit. He tried to pound it, break it, slice it, even watering it. He thought he could weaken an adhesive substance or even melt it.

God! It even has water resistant!

Today would be his 7th times tries.

If today he still couldn't open this book, he would burn it down to ash. So, he meticulously looking a way to solve this troublesome book before him.

Lin Hang turned it up and down, pinch here and there. Right when he slides his index finger on the book's rim, his finger got a scratch.

Itch!

"The heck! It even scratch my finger!" shout him.

Tap!

As he tries to slap it, the loud sound of slap he heard every time slapping this thing doesn't come.

"Ah!" His palm felt like being burned.

"Sh*t!"

Lin Hang cursed as he couldn't retract his own hand from the book. What the heck is going on?!

Syuut~

He could feel burned pain from his hand like putting it on burned coal. Beginning after his hands, his entire body turn hotter and hotter. Then, his hands like a vacuum absorbing the book.

The Book of Idle Immortal turned become half of its size in minutes. Its weight turned lighter like a feather and its color glowed as if it has its own life.

"Damn!" he unknowingly shouts out loud.

Fortunately, his foster parents aren't home today. Else, they would break his door to look at him. As a loving parents, they knew very much his personality. He, Lin Hang, who even so unwilling to pat at a mosquito, shouting out so loud like that means there is a heaven defying trouble in front of him.

After that shout, slowly, his head becomes fuzzy and heavier... Plop!

*****

28th July 2020, Tuesday.

Sunshine begins to spread from the east.

Yawn~

Lin Hang stretches his hands upward while yawning.

"Today is a beautiful day. Let's start the day with something positive!"

Well, well, since when I could fall asleep so soundly on the study desk... Um, wha-what the hell is this?!

He got a shocking therapy awaken from his remaining sleepiness. There is a bloody red seal on his palm. "Idle Immortal" written right here in blood red like vein. But, when he touches it, he could feel it was same as his other palm. It's looks so natural and smooth like normally it was before.

Lin Hang remembered yesterday, he got burned by that book.

"Hm? Where is that book?"

He only saw a smaller beautiful black book with a glowing effect that not so apparent. It was very different, but for some reason, he could feel it was that "Book of Idle Immortal".

It nearly without weight and only a third of its original dimensional size. Book of Idle Immortal starts to attract his attention again. As his finger slides to flip its cover, he sighed at himself.

Whoosh~

Lin Hang black pearl like eyes opened wide, surprised was written all over on his face. He saw a data in few words. It looks like a status in the game.
