However none of these books are what I ended up selecting, even though they were relatively cheap, and useful. What I ended up selecting was based on instinct. It was not something that a normal person had done, but my luck had always been good, and the option was calling to me.

[???]

An ancient book wrote in a long dead language. No known person is capable of reading it. The book emits a strong magical power. Cost 9,999 coins.

If the book had been anywhere else I would not have thought twice about it and simply walked away. But as it was in the shop it was a legitimate item, And the cost was much higher than any of the other books.

It was a one of a kind item, and I had the coin to purchase it. If someone else managed to buy it then it would be gone forever. I clicked purchase before I could talk myself out of it.

The book appeared in my hands, which thankfully were out of the water and dry. A strong magical aura came from the book. When I slid my finger down the spine I felt a cut on my skin. My finger would not move, as if something had grabbed it. I tried to let go of the book but it held fast to my finger, steadily sucking the blood.

I had began to feel faint by the time the book had had enough. It quietly disappeared on it's own, and entered my library.

When I tried to select the book in my Library, but it would not open. It sat there like a dead object, taking up space. I shook my head at the waste of coins. What a useless book.

I did not wait any longer and dried off and went to bed. I did not know when the battle would begin, but it was best to be prepared.
