1 The Book of Estrella

Max Zowen a guy who has difficulty in speaking with other people, a guy who is often getting in trouble because of always thinking highly of himself. He who is always a king that carries his own chair. He always has good grades when he was young but now that he is in collage he has difficulty studying due to social problems. He never cried though, he never showed it to any other person instead he eagerly look down upon the world.

One day he went early to the plaza and the shops are still closed. Max suddenly got lost in an unrecognized path. The Weather drastically changed and a thin fog apeared arround him. Max continued to walk the path but seem to be just circling arround passing by a single shop. Max clenched his teeth and was still undecided but pursued to enter anyways. Max entered and saw a single book in the shelf. Max was quite buffled about the book and went to take a look at it and the book seems to be a fiction book. The books tittle is <Estrella>; it did not really got his attention because it's quite old. He went to the counter and he saw a man with some earphones on sitting while noding for quite some time feeling the music.

"Hi there, uhh I was just curious why is it that there is only one book in this book shop?" Max curiously asked

The guy stood up and smilled "You might just be the last person I need to complete my task"

Max eyebrows twitched and said "haa, what do you mean by the last person to complete your task?" in his confused state.

The guy laughed at Max "That book over there is one of the three books that the true God forbid. The three books is filled with desires that the true God does not want people to live in. That book is the book called <Estrella> is a book compilation of desires of its creator. The first book was opened by a person 800 years ago while the other..."

Max interupted because the guys words are not something he can easily inpput in his mind and said; "Wait does that mean, you are already that old and may even be older? What a joke?…"

The man slowly walked to the book and handed it to max while smiling.

"This book over here choose a person who is a blood relative to its creator and once it is opened, you will be transported to another world and you will obtain treasures, magical beast, powers, knowledge, and many more that you will never find in this world. The world within this book is an endless adventure and discoveries that you can never imagine."

Max with a twitched eyebrows turn his gaze to the book for brief momment then look back at the guy "Are you stupid? Even though I am a loner, that does not mean I am that dumb enough to be fooled by you. And I have also never heared my family having such a history of the man you spoke of."

The guy suddenly said something like he was casting a spell then a hole suddenly appeared near his right arm, max was stunned at what happened and the guy suddenly put his right hand inside and grabbed something. The man then grabbed Max hand and put a rock with a blue color gem in max hand.

The guy then looked at Max in the eye smilling "This is a homunculus soul which contains intelligence of the things I want you to know, it's simply a copy of me yet it will only have the knowledge of the things I want you to know."

Max was stunned and realizing what was happening at the momment his heart started to pump faster like he was in a bad nightmare. Max then reacted quite scared and said; "Ok fine just get to the point what should I do with this? And I already believe you after you grabbed something on that hole which you created I can already believe 100%. Just don't hurt me and i can promise to compensate for my rude actions."
