My Spell Bond System

Chapter 6 Secret hideout...

I ran towards my library to avoid my father's confrontation, it was horrifying, especially at night but it was way better than my house where that garuda will be ready to feed on me.

As I reached the corridor, my heartbeat paced by just looking at that view, all those things that happened before slipped out of my mind for a second and my mind went blank,

"Are you sure doing this Aryan?" I asked myself patting my heart again and again, here the flood comes, a grunting sound from my back decided for me,

"Find him...!" a command from my father which was surely for his best students to find me,

My legs automatically moved forward to the huge doors of that library, and in no time I opened the lock, it was terrifying to look at that place at night my heart slipped into my mouth,

"Should I just get caught by my father?" for once my mind was forcing me to think about the consequences of entering this damn place,

"Aryan...!" someone called out, it was Dhruva...!

I jolted in and closed the door, no matter how scary and creepy that place is, at least no one will make me stand on one leg for the whole night, like how my father did.

He called several times but thanks to the shabby look, he didn't dare enter this place and left after strolling around for a while.

I took a breath when I heard his footsteps getting away from me.

But the moment I turn around, the picture in front of me was like my nightmare last night, it made me clear that it wasn't just a nightmare, it was the reality that I was going to face today.

I shook my head to face the reality in front of me, I am not some kind of superhero but I am not a coward either, I had been through many life-threatening things in my life, I even talked to a soul and can see him, this darkness is nothing for me. I can survive.

As I thought it through it felt better when I grasped my courage back from me.

Let's find a place to take a rest for now, I will think of a way out tomorrow morning. I should have cleaned it in the morning at least I wouldn't have ended up like this now, a curse left for myself for slacking.

When I moved forward I couldn't see clearly so I extended my arms and started walking slowly to sense the path I was on, after a while, I bumped into something hard, it felt like a table, I slowly patted its surface and luckily, found a candle and a matchbox on it, as I lit that up, I find it strange, that table wasn't dusty at all, I imagined that place to be covered with layers of dust piled on every inch of it but there wasn't any, even when this place was not cleaned for years, the floor, the table surface, and the chair beside it, were all clean without a sprinkle of dust on it.

How is that possible?

Did father send someone to clean up on my behalf?

Is that even possible? will my father do that favor for me?

And I remember clearly that there was only one key to this place and it was with me all this time, then how?

It raised a suspicious thought in the corner of my mind, moreover, that candle and that matchbox were placed there for me to come and find it out, Is that even possible?

Whatever...!

A chuckle left my lips as I concentrated on the candle in my hand, it was the same as in my dream,

I looked around using that candlelight but the far my sight goes the more the books around me, nothing but huge racks and shelves filled with uncountable books.

"Holy crab....!"

"Books and books and only books....!" I muttered to myself with a hiss of irritation, there is nothing to see in here except those books surrounding me, I should find a place to sleep for now, I looked at the corners to see if there are any other tables bigger one than this that could fit me, unlike the little one I bumped into.

I was surprised to see a sofa in front of me in the corner and to add to the surprise, it was clean too, I touched it, feathery soft, and height exactly fitting to that mine like someone has customized it for me.

Is that all just a coincidence?

My suspicion grew stronger but I just shook my head dragging myself out, because if I keep digging up it will take me up to my grave.

Let's not think about it for now, I will just doze off for now, I lunged on that sofa to sleep but my mind didn't allow me to. I turned here and there but that wasn't helping me at all, why not find a book to sleep?

I fell asleep whenever I open a book to read, why not use it in vice-versa?

I went near the shelf and took out one of the books, everything was clean except for these books,

Uhh...!!

That dust fell on me...!

As...chu....!

As...chu....!

I started sneezing suddenly, because of the dust that fell on me,

I went back to the sofa with that dirty book in my hand and in the light of that candle, I started strolling the book, in all the empty pages there were a few lines written on it,

[#@$%%&%&&&$$%#$%&]

[recite it with a pinch to lit.]

At the center of the book, there were just these lines, though the language written was ratifying from above my head the lower lines were understandable.

I tried to read it with all I could, but no way...!

"Uhh...Man...! what kind of language is it...how could a simple boy like me read it....?" a curse left my lips and suddenly I saw a miracle that almost stopped my heart.

That book flew in the air glowing by itself and turned upside down, and then came back to my hands.

What the heck is that?

I was frightened, I jerked back as that book fell into my hands, how could I not?

When the book wasn't glowing, I picked it up back hesitatingly,

[AND YOU ARE SELECTED TO LIGHT THE FIRE]

that unknown language was now readable, I did as it was stated just to try it, with a pinch, and guess what, there was a small fire in the air, I was excited but it didn't last long though,

They are fighting the fire and will be clearing the competition of leveling up, and I am here lighting the candles like rubbish.

"I don't want to light a candle...I wanted to grow stronger... to strongest...!"

I shouted slamming that book on the candle table beside me,

"You can't do it....!!"

"Why can't I do it, man?" I yelled out my anger which I had been holding back in my gutt all this time,

"Can't you make me stronger... can't you help me... I am ready to strive for that... I am ready to fight... why.... why can't I?" I cried where my eyes filled with tears, I had been suffering since I was a kid,

My father never liked me, my friends, wait I don't have any...!

Is that even a life...?

Am I going to come back alive from that damn leveling system...?

That feeling that I somehow managed to suppress deep in me all this time was back again, and I was feeling hell now.

I lay on that sofa and suddenly heard a sound from the shelves, I jolted up because in this whole shabby place I was alone, then where was that sound coming from?

As I glanced at that side I found something illuminating, glowing but they were a different light from the book beside me,

I was frightened but I was curious about what it was, so I forced myself to go there and have a look,

It was coming from one of the books on the last shelf. That illuminating book was at a height almost double that of me, I couldn't climb up there.

"Can't you come to me on your own...!" I snorted in anger and that book floated to me,

Is this library under my control?

Can I command all these books?

I opened the book, there wasn't anything written in it but was a handmark, I placed my hand on that mark.

{System Activated}

A sudden voice shocked me.

{Welcome To The Spell Bond System of Cultuvation}

That voice shocked me, a shock as if I just bumped into some high-voltage current strings, I tried pulling my hand back but instead, I was pulled inside that book to a different land that I never heard of, that no one might have known about.

"Where am I?"
