5 Chapter 5 - ABSORB ! (1/2)

Ryk started writing something on papers and gave them out, one to Joshua, one to Mike, one to Mark and one to Kevin.

He then asked Chris to follow him.

After walking for some minutes, they entered what seemed to be a huge library, Ryk went to speak with the librarian and received an old and rusty book. He then handed it to Chris.

”This is the book of someone who held a rather similar Personal Skill, you should learn it very quickly, it was quite hard getting... ”

Chris with a weird face took the book out of Ryk's hand and thought, 'That's what you call Hard? You just spoke to him and got the book'

He then opened the book just to see a lot of dust, after blowing the dust away, he started reading,

After that, everything in the book was too old and was also unreadable.

Chris started quickly memorizing the content of the book and handed it back to Ryk.

”So you finally finished memorizing?” Ryk said,

Chris just nodded, thought for a bit and asked with a hesitant expression,

”Do uh-, Tutor Ryk, know where is the graveyard?”

Ryk didn't seem to care about what Chris said and just walked, Chris quickly followed then found himself in front of a graveyard filled with numerous ethereal people walking around.

Chris was about to say something until Ryk said,

”You can”

”What?”

”I said, 'You Can', are you stupid? Just do it!”

Chris quickly started going near a Spirit but quickly found a problem, 'how the hell do I absorb it!?', Chris stretched out his hand but it just passed through the spirit, he then thought, 'Absorb'...

Nothing happened, 'Maybe if I said it?',

”ABSORB!”

Nothing happened except that Ryk lowered his esteem of Chris.

Chris finally thought, 'Maybe I should just think of the Personal Skill?', with his stretched hand, he thought [Universe-Sized Spirit Eater].
