Chapter 4: The Grimoire

Chapter 4: The Grimoire

Sara's sweet and excited voice rang in Miguel's ears.

At this moment, even Miguel himself was surprised at the event that had suddenly unfolded.

A flash of understanding ran through his brain as he immediately comprehended what exactly happened.

The power system of this world involves grimoires and beasts, and it seemed that he awakened to become one of them.

This was an unexpected surprise for Miguel.

With how useless and brain-dead Miguel of this world was, he truly did not expect that he would awaken to become what they called summoners in this world.

Memories and a basic understanding of the grimoire and how to use it flashed inside his mind rapidly.

From his minute understanding, the power system of this world seems vastly different compared to the summoning worlds he visited in his previous life. This was the first time that he heard of summoners that could tame, store, and summon their contracted beasts through the grimoire that they awakened. Visitt novelbin(.)co/m for the latest updates

The grimoire acted as the gateway for the summon and the summoner. It could initiate a contract signing for the beast, and if they agreed, they would be stored inside the grimoire that can be summoned anytime to fight for the summoner.

The information provided was immediately comprehended by Miguel in no time.

He looked at the floating grimoire in front of him and observed it carefully.

The grimoire did not look anything amazing. It was jet black and didn't have any kind of marking on its cover.

With a thought, the grimoire opened itself in mid-air. The pages flipped on their own, and Miguel realized that this grimoire had ten pages in total. According to what he knew, each page can contain a single beast, with nine available pages for him to use for his beasts.

He flipped back to the first page and saw his own information written on it.

At the top was his own portrait. He looked even more handsome in the picture compared to the face he saw in the mirror earlier. Miguel observed carefully and could not help but notice a silhouette of a man hovering behind him in the portrait. Miguel felt stifled upon seeing this, but he calmed himself and proceeded to look at the next information below the portrait.

First, the consciousness of this world was aware of his previous identity. Second, he could basically confirm that he was still within the same universe that he had previously lived in. Last, his transmigration might not be a natural phenomenon but was instead instigated by someone else.

'Am I being used? Haha, interesting,' the Boundless Sage of Knowledge Miguel commented with an unyielding grin under his breath.

But knowing that he would not receive any answers about that for now, he decided to ignore it and decided to focus on the present situation.

Flipping through the next page, a frown appeared on Miguel's face.

According to the information given to him by the grimoire, the second page should have contained his first beast. An Innate Beast that was eternally connected to the summoner. A beast that would not die as long as the owner did not.

Unlike an Innate Skill, every Grimoire owner should have their own Innate Beast. However, for some reason, his second page was actually blank, like the other pages that followed behind it.

Miguel frowned but was not worried too much about it. He could just contract a beast on his own, and he was confident that it would not lose too much compared to the Innate Beasts of others. The description in his Innate Skill was not a lie.

"Miggy, you're amazing." Sara's excitement still had not died down. Her eyes shone in awe as she saw the pages flipping on their own in mid-air.

She sighed in relief as he held Miguel's arm. "Tomorrow, let's go to the main house and report to the branch head. They will help you teach the ways of being a summoner. I'm only a servant and don't know much. I hope that Miggy can shine and become a powerful summoner someday."

"Of course," Miguel nodded his head confidently upon Sara's future dream for him.

"Right, Miggy, can you show me what kind of Innate Skill and Innate Beast you have? I heard that these would affect one's achievement in the future," she said with a hint of anticipation on her face.

Miguel paused for a moment before he showed Sara the first page. A smile appeared on his face as he heard her next words.

"Miggy, it's alright if you don't have an Innate Skill. As long as your Innate Beast is strong, you can still be someone great in the future."

However, her exclamation was heard at the next moment.

"What!? You don't have an Innate Beast as well?"
