Chapter 960: Just Humans

Chapter 960: Just Humans

As Karyk opened the book, a blinding light erupted from its pages, filling the room with a radiant glow. The dark-robed man shielded his eyes, momentarily blinded by the sudden burst of light. As the light subsided, the man opened his eyes, his expressions dark and filled with rage. "I really hoped that you wouldn't choose this method. But since you have decided to take this path, then I would also fulfill my promise."

He looked at the place where Karyk was previously standing. But this time, Karyk was nowhere to be found.

"The moment you return, I will dig every memory in your mind. And after that, I will kill you in the most painful way possible."

He really cherished his time. That's why he wanted Karyk to hand over the book. But instead, the book was used. Until Karyk experienced everything that was left to experience in the Book, he could not return. And until he returned, the man could not learn the contents of the book. He could only wait for Karyk's return, and each passing second made him more angry. Still, he kept this to himself. He did not want others to know about this. Since that day onwards , the man did not leave the library. Even when the others came to check on him they found him sitting in the library, reading a book. "Since when did you start taking such interest in books?" One of them asked. "I was getting bored. Some of these books do keep me entertained."

"At least I won't be annoyed by them for some time."

He shifted his attention back to the book in his hand as he continued waiting for Karyk. "I am very curious about what you are experiencing. But it is fine. The moment you return, I will find out everything."

....

"How long are you going to sleep?"

A kick landed on his back. It came with great force, making Karyk groan in pain as he woke up from his sleep. He found himself in the outer edge of the city. He could still see the Wall created by the Civilisation. But the City appeared much newer. He could even see a lot of people around him. The pain in his back was evident. He rubbed his back and looked at the person who had kicked him. "You are...?" He did not recognise the person. But one thing was confirmed. The people here were all humans. He was surprised to find out that the so-called Civilisation was no more than a group of humans. "Is this the past kept in the book?" he thought out loud. "You brat, what are you muttering?" While Karyk was lost in thought, the person who had kicked him, grabbed him by the hair. He raised him in the air. "If you don't want to die, don't mess up! Tomorrow is the Prince's birthday! If you mess up, I will kill you myself!"
