One huge bloody mess
'Ugh, what happened?' Adam groggily thought as he opened his eyes with surprising easy considering the fact that his eyelids were supposed to be burned off
The last thing he remembers is a tire going over his face, which was not a fun experience, especially since that tire now made him remember all of the things that happened before he finally died, he probably has gained a phobia of car sites because of this incident
As he remembers all of those things that had happened, all that pain and agony, it made him shrink and shrivel his massive 213 cm frame, his breathing became hard, his eyes bloodshot, his knees weak and arms heavy, he gained the urge to vomit and wanted nothing more than to faint and shut down hoping that that would stop the memories or rather stop the nightmare
'Am I safe?!' All of those memories awakened an instinctual side inside of Adam, and the first thing he thought about was his safety, right now that was his top priority, anything else like his family or friends fell to the second place while his own survival and safety took top priority
It made him frantically look around himself hoping to not see anything potentially dangerous or life-threatening and it seems that thankfully there's nothing particularly dangerous insight, but what he did see left him perplexed
'Where am I?' Adam thought as he looked at the surroundings, after confirming his safety he forcefully calmed himself down, even if he wants to scream and panic right now he realizes that it would probably do more harm than good so he will first examine his surroundings
The people around him all seem to wear some sort of medieval clothes, which looked to be made out of either leather, wool or cloth but the aesthetics are very different from what Adam saw in museums
As for the building they are in it seems to be some sort of cylinder-shaped tower since once he looked up Adam couldn't see to the ceiling while the walls were curved creating a circle out of the floor
However, something did catch Adam's eye, the walls and floor are made up primarily of wood and stone, mostly stone without any mortar or any really adhesive that would be used to stick the bricks and blocks together
He also noticed that more or less a half of the walls were covered with one thing and one thing only, books, lots and lots of colorful and weird books, from big and thick to small and thin, there are all sorts of books put in wooden shelves while oddly enough none of them are in any order, if his highschool library woman saw this she would probably kill the guy who had done this
'Am I at a Renesse fare?' Adam thought as he looked around himself, all of these people in this weird clothing, this castle-like structure, these books and primitive building techniques all of it is very strange and looks like it's from the middle ages so it is only logical that he might be at a Renesane fare
But then comes to the thing that puts off this Rensanss vibe the mood and atmosphere present within this tower is very strange yet familiar
Out of the chatter and the noise as well as the very air itself Adam got a feeling of joy, cheer, and happiness yet also dread, nervousness and fright with doses of hope mixed in as well, it's a very familiar feeling to Adam most comparable to the feeling of getting your test results back, you are hoping for a good score, frightened by the prospect of getting a bad score and happy with the prospect of getting a good score
The people around him also behaved the same as when people are getting the test scores they are mocking each other, encouraging each other and just doing some small talk in order to get away from the nervousness
'Seriously what the fuck is going on?' Adam thought as he looked around himself, the situation is confusing and strange that Adam doesn't really know what to do nor how to react the scene left him so stunned that he even temporarily forgot about his earlier pain and agony
"Ehem, excuse me but could you all quiet down. I didn't get much sleep last night so I'm not really in the mood for this, especially since most of you are such a waste of time, space, oxygen, life, and other things." Just as Adam was falling deeper and deeper into his own thoughts and the crowd was getting louder and louder they all heard a man talk to them
They all looked up only to see a very old bearded man with a cane in hand looking down at them with clear disgust as he stands on top of a floating platform which in all honesty caught Adam off guard, maybe this is not actually the earth he is used to living in
"Oi, how dare you say that! For those low born street rats that may be true but for us nobles, that is most definitely not true! And that is most certainly not true for this young lord! So I demand you to take that back!" Those words he had said seemed to rub some people the wrong way as one posh-looking kid from Adam's right immediately took back to the man, he looked and sounded like a stereotypical England noble snob which made him look extremely punchable
'Am I seeing this right? A young master moment is happening in real life?' Adam actually couldn't believe his eyes nor his ears, he only read of these situations in novels and manga, he never actually believed for this to happen right in front of him, especially since the people who usually say stuff like this are that Chinese novel antagonist while this guy has a more western appearance
"Oh shut up you chicken dick fucker who never actually fucked. I don't care if you are noble or not and I don't have time for this, I wasted too much of it already on all of you. So all of you go get your Grimoire and be on your way." Said the old looking guy with a tone full of spite and repulse before he waked away seemingly not being able to stand the fact that he even has to look at the people below him
This immediately shut everybody up, especially that young master, some wanted to refute but were afraid to anger the guy while the others couldn't do anything because he was already gone
'Seriously no fucks given.' Adam thought as he looked at the old man walking away, that was probably one of the most hateful yet coolest old men that Adam has ever seen but unfortunately for the old guy he will never be as cool as Yamamoto or Raylight
That's when a truly miraculous scene happened, at least miraculous for Adam, the books came flying out while being encased in some sort of colorful layers and trails as they came down from the shelves and towards the people around Adam
The people who received those books shouted out in joy and pleasure, some compared the books basically creating a dick-measuring contest about the length and thickness of the book, which is a sentence I never thought I would write, as for the females without dicks, they are all Futari
'Wait for Grimoire? Books that fly out of bookshelves? Annoying prick ass nobles? Isn't this Black Clover?!' That's when it all clicked inside of Adam's head, the grimoire, the nobles, the excitement yet fear in this place, now it all makes sense, turns out that he is not at a Renesanse fare instead he somehow got into the world of Black Clover
Once again just when Adam was starting to lose himself in his thought he was interrupted as he felt something coming towards him from above
Within seconds before Adam was a floating reddish-black Grimoire which was surrounded by small arching lightning which was reddish-blue in color
Adam took it in his hands and some reddish-blue lightning cracked from it going into Adam's hand but he didn't feel anything from that lighting so it went unnoticed amongst the loud cheers and celebrations held by the other people as they were all preoccupied with themselves
As Adam inspected the book a little closer he noticed something rather peculiar, the center of it didn't contain the standard 3 leaf clover, nor the 4 leaf clover not even the 5 leaf clover, instead, it was the symbol of the homunculi that was at the center of the grimoire
'What the actual fuck. Now I'm confused. Wasn't this supposed to be Black Clover? How the hell is FMA involved with all of this?' Adam though, this situation is just getting stranger, more convoluted and much more confusing by the seconds and to be honest, it kinda scared Adam
The lunatics from Black Clover were enough of a hassle to deal with if the lunatics from FMA also get involved with all of this then Adam doesn't know how the hell he would survive in this clusterfuck of a world
With that being said he has to admit he is curious about what is contained within this book of his so against his better judgment of not wanting to die like a cliche horror movie character Adam opened up the book
That immediately backfired and proved to be a bad idea because once he did that lightning started to come out of the book and shoot in all directions, who the hell didn't see this coming?
The lightning hit the other students and killed them, which was rather nasty looking since once it struck the person he would explode into hundreds of meat chunks as his blood sprayed everywhere, it hit the tower and destroyed parts of the walls and floors, the library was also destroyed
Seeing how people were dropping like flies mass hysteria broke out while the old man came back to inspect what the ruckus is about only to get zapped by lightning and die what a tragic death it was
'What is going on!?' Adam couldn't help but question that and his question would soon be answered in a rather interesting way but that is for the next chapter
Black clouds formed above the tower in which Adam was in while the ground started to shake, by this point the lightning from Adam's book has already killed everybody besides Adam
That's when all of the blood started to gather around Adam, is started to swirl around him like a tornado while the clouds above started to release red lightning everywhere
Within minutes the blood, bones, flesh and any other human corpse remains formed a cocoon around Adam while the clouds made one huge lightning bolt strike the tower and the earth opened up forming a sinkhole which ate up the tower before the hole closed again and the clouds disappeared
From that day forward more than 172 people went missing with no clue on their location, it is presumed that they died
