2 The Book

The bookstore looks quite rundown with the paints peeling of the walls. The bookstore has a sign at the side on the entrance but the words were quite faded and were unreadable.

Entering the bookstore, Volum found no one inside the book store. Still he entered the store and decided to browse through all the collection of the books.

The bookstore was apparently those kinds of store that was bigger in the inside despite the outward appearance of the store. The inside was also of a better condition than the outside as proven by the tidiness of the store.

Walking through the book store, Volum discovered that the bookstore has a wide variety of collection from biology, history, geography, fantasy, science-fiction, philosophy and much more. He also noticed a section of self-defence and entertained the thought of beating Jon up but looking at his feeble body and the fact that Jon always has his army of underlings with him, he decided not to risk it.

He kept on looking at all the various collection and came across the [Magic] section of the bookstore where the books range from [Dummy Guide to Golem], [Apothecary 101], [Diving the Future] and many other books. Despite a firm believer of science, Volom was still quite interested in magic and had a certain attraction to the term 'Magic'.

Although he knew it was impossible, he was imagining all sorts of methods he could use to harm Jon using the magic in the books that he could use such as cursing him, making a voodoo doll out of him or even making do something foolish in the public which will destroy his reputation in society.

Looking through all the books that are in the store, he came across a book that was bound in leather and had a magic circle on it with a heptagram on it. Looking at the spine of the book, he saw the title of the book that states [Solomon's Key]. Being a Magic nerd, he knew the significance of the name Solomon and was immediately interested in it.

Looking at it, he knew that he had to buy it. The impulse of buying it, the wanting of the book and the desire all build up and Volom knew that he had to get the book. He brought the book to the cashier who had the appearance of an old man and ask the price of the book.

"It will be $300. Please pay up."

Hearing the price made his mind blow up and start cursing inside of him but with all his desire that scream that he had to get the book, he decided to buy the book with the money in his card despite the fact that the money is supposed to last him for the month.
