Story 4

Amostiri walks through the aisle in the Archives of Atmocross. He carries several tomes and scrolls. Amostiri places them onto a table in the Archives. He turns on a lamp with his wand. He opens up the first tome and scrolls through the pages. Time passes by as Amostiri goes through tome after tome and scroll after scroll. One full day passes and Amostiri slams the table as a grin grows on his face. He grabs the tome and hides it in his bag and leaves the Archives through a backdoor. He hides in the shadows of the streets as he moves through the night.

Amostiri arrives at a rundown workshop. He enters and locks the door behind him with his wand. Amostiri breathes a sigh of relief and empties his bag's contents on the table. A pocket watch, a leather armguard with some mechanical device attached, a diagnostics tool, several mechanical parts, a vial dragon's breath and several other vials with substances, and the tome from the Archives.

Amostiri takes the pocket watch in hand and flips through the tome. A diagram of the same pocket watch appears on the page of the tome. Amostiri reads the text below the diagram.

"Watch of Flames, grants the user with reincarnation powers like the legendary Phoenix."

"The device activates once a drop of blood filled with mana from the user is spilled on the watch."

"Once activated, the watch will open and mana filled with fire will engulf the user's body and begin the first reincarnation process."

"Reincarnation will not revert time or cause the user to transfer to someone else's body, instead the body of the user will result in changes including but not limited to; Race, Sex, Age, Personality."

"…"

Amostiri thinks hard about whether to decide to go with it or not. He clenches his hair and grits his teeth cursing.

"Fuck it!"

Amostiri grabs a knife and slits his thumb while focusing mana into the flowing blood. The blood spills onto the pocket watch.

The watch is engulfed by mana with a golden hue. The watch breaks opens and Amostiri is engulfed by the golden mana. Frost covers his body, dropping to the ground, his body shakes violently.
