1 book a the bottom of the ocean

on cold and dreary night Ling Qin was walking down the street drunk and stumbling. on his face you could see extreme sadness. earlier today he et up with his long time girlfriend Bai Wu and was expecting for them to fight and make up like always but this time it was different. this tie she was no alone. when Ling Qin walked he he saw his beloved girlfriend sitting on wei shu's lap. in pure denial ling qin slowly took a few steps toward them and told bai wu "honey get down from there you should sit on other men's lap, no matter how close you are. people will get the wrong idea." bai wu was about to say something but looking at ling qin she showed a conflicted face. right then wei shu laughed out loud.

drawing the attention of the whole restaurant and the workers. the manager of the place gives one of the workers a stare and nods. the young waiter quickly walks to wei shu and bai wu's table and asked " is this gentlemen bothering you guys?"

with a look of contempt wei shu in a loud enough voice so everyone could hear said "they guy is mad that i got the girl and he didn't. can you please tell him to leave and stop annoying us."

ling qin was hit with the biggest shock of his life. he slowly backed up then ran out of the restaurant.

a few hours later

ling qin was close to the famous glutinous ocean pier. without any second thoughts long qin jumped. for him life was now meaningless he lost the love of his life he was humiliated in front of people he knew his whole life.

right now long qin actually felt at peace he didn't struggle as water filled his lungs. he didn't squirm or fight when the waves pulled him lower and lower into the water. then it happened just when he was seeing the light at the end of the tunnel a freak whirlpool sucked him all the way to the bottom of the ocean. just as he thought to himself 'this is how i'm going to die' a yellow ray of light zooms past him then stops a few feet away from him.

this made long qin so shocked he forgot to hold his breath, the something shocking happened, he could breath. yes at the bottom of the deep ocean long qin could breath. long qin isn't a dumb guy and quickly got his thoughts together and focused on the glowing yellow object near him. 'the only thing that could logically cause this phenomenon is the gold object. scared that if he disturbs the object he would lose the his ability to breath long qin slowly walks close to it and observes the object.

long qin laughed out loud because what he saw was something that should not be real in this world, a grimoire. the book was thick, had a bright gold accents that depicted demons and snakes and bats. while in the center was a dark and dim red gem that almost looked like liquid.

long qin decided to look closer at the gem because what he saw did not make ay sense. when observing again long qin nodded his head in understanding. 'the gem is solid on the outside but the interior is filled with viscus red liquid.

now that he had some time to think long qin quickly scanned his soundings and all he could see was darkness except the gold grimoire. shaking his head to get rid of the incisiveness long qin steeled himself and reached for the grimoire. when his hand touched he was met with pain on a unimaginable scale he tried to pull his hand back but the grimoire was like dried glue it would not let go. it would be nice at least if he could thrash around or at least scream but he was rooted in place same pose he was in when he first reached for the grimoire.

he was stuck in a weird sleep paralysis state. his mind going in and out of consciousness for what felt like decades. long qin wanted to go mad so at lest he would not have to bare this torture sane. after hours or maybe days of torture long qin woke up. the grimoire sitting in his hands but something was different. the shining gold border dimmed, the demons, bats and snakes were nowhere to be found and finally the dim red gem as now a pure white crystal which looked more like a diamond then a dark red ruby like before.

long qin in a bout of maybe anger or vengeance tried to let go of the grimoire but when he did the harsher currents of before hit hi like a truck, but this time he could stabilize his body much easier.looking around this time long qin could make out a lot of details unlike before. he could see the death ravine a few meters away from him. then it donned on him how was he breathing in the water without the grimoire didn't he use that to breath last time. he quickly scanned around in the water and swam to the grimoire grabbed it then forcefully swam upward fighting the current.
