"I've been searching this hell of mountains and still no clue!"

John has been trying to find the so-called "MADRA'S MARK". While he was breaking a branch, it bent and cause a tremor. The ground below opened showing an entrance, he grabs his torch and heads towards the gloomy entrance.

HHSSHSHSHHSS.

"Why do I feel like someone's whispering?"

While he was walking, he accidentally steps on a pressure plate.

CRINK!

Sides of the wall lit up blue flames continuously until the place was bright. He saw a skeleton crucified in mountain of treasures. He grinned and his eyes twinkled.

"I'm rich! I'm rich!"

He immediately grabs an artifact and places it in his spatial inventory but after he tried to place it, it disappears and reappears in the spot where he first saw it.

"Damn it! I thought I'm gonna be rich but this is just.....Sheeeeett!!"

He clenches his fist tightly to suppress his anger and he was distracted by a blinking light coming from the skeleton.

"..."

He climbs the mountain of treasure and reaches the corpse, he grabs hold of the thing that was blinking from the ribs of the skeleton. A notification window popped up in his view.

"..!"

His body trembled and his eyes widened just by seeing the reward and then he realized what the alert was and blow the dust from the thing, it was actually.....

"A book?"
