As soon as Sammy opened the book, a text in black speech bubbles that seemed to continuously shift in space, that also emitted an ominous presence appeared in front of Sammy distorting the space around him but, Sammy calmly said
"Oh I expected this book to be magical not like a system type manhua but it doesn't matter as long as I can find out where that tree thing came from and how I can get it back home saflely and get strong enough to protect myself and others from creatures like that tree."
As you just read, Sammy had no intention of killing it as his reason to kill it vanished as Danish was still alive and he forgave the tree for killing him, but Sammy still had a bit of anger in him to kill it although he was denying it.
soon he got back to reading and he was a bit shocked to see what the text read.
[ would you like to combine your soul with the book of stories? ]
"What? My soul? huh?... well uhh, I don't have much of a choice here. What if that tree thing is still around? it never mentioned how long its been here so...
Yes."
[ Congratulations! Your book has merged with your life force instead, because a fragment of your soul is not there]
"I don't have a fragment of my soul... what does that even mean?" Sammy said as he was confused and irritated.
Then Sammy started reading.
On the first page Sammy saw that the book has already written his full name Smaran karta in Hindi, his native language.
As he turned the pages he saw the names of the previous owners or owner, because there was only one and his name was *Dres Imarates*.
Due to his name Sammy wondered how old this book was as it sounded like an ancient nobles name, and it was written in Latin but Sammy didn't mind much as there was little information about this previous owner other than his name And so he continued through the book, he saw the rules and facts of the book
***
Rule no.1: the book cannot be used by any other person unless the user has been killed.
Rule no.2:(special rule that only applies to this book): the book cannot be read by others and return to your own world you must finish the story of the world where the user is staying.
Rule no.3(special rule that only applies to this book):You can only read the side stories after entering the world where that story takes place.
Rule no.4: Don't die.
***
Fact no.1: the book cannot read your thoughts.
Fact no.2: the book cannot make decision but is still sentient in a way
Fact no.3: the book and the black speech bubble thing are not the same and the speech bubble dosen't have feelings and is just a communication medium that the book can rarely use
Fact no.4: The book allows the gain of the stats and power system of the average creature in the world of where the user went without its debuffs.
Fact no.5: You can't lose your abilities even in the after life this includes fact no.4 and only fact no.4.
After reading the book, he came to the conclusion that there were multiple worlds, but how many worlds are there?
So he flipped the pages and read more and then he saw the page that said {chapters} and read them too and for what he saw was:
● origin of horrors
● decayed world of a dying star
10+ (locked reason: must complete first two chapters)
Sammy read it and wondered what it meant by that but couldn't care less so he turned a page and what was in the next page was about what the book it self can do and so he read it.
"The book can teleport the user to another space which is present in the users universe and by going to that space and tracing the the letters of the
chapter will let him open a portal to were that story takes place but if you want to read you must read the chapter name out loud. There are five other books."
"Huh interesting."
Said Sammy to himself as he flipped the page he read "stats." In that moment Sammy was thrilled because he wanted to see if he has overpowered stats but to his surprise most of his stats were absolute trash.
User:स्मरण कर्ता
Life force: normal ( life force merged with the book and hence user shall gain a passive life force ability)
Fate: losing fool
Soul energy: normal
Sammy was confused because it previously said that he does not have a fragment of his soul
"What are these stats!? You're telling me I merged my life force with this book and I only get this!"
"Ugh... am I gonna be one of those protagonists who have to use their brain? I know that they're cool and i like reading there storys but the storys where the main character is overpowerd is just relaxing and so much less stressful. We even get to see that one annoying guy who deserves to get his ass kicked get ass kicked! And im even fated to be a losing fool huh?"
Sammy flipped the page and read the heading abilities. At this point Sammy was praying more then he prayed when he was taking his 10th grade board exams.
And so Sammy started sweating like crazy and started reading the words letter by letter but the narrator couldn't wait so he read it himself.
| Abilities |
Main ability: remember
'Shit! What does that even mean! Mabye it gives photographic memory... its useful in school and general life but not against a 30 foot tall tree wait was it 35 foot tall... it doesn't matter this thing can't help me defend my loved ones against it wait i don't have that many loved ones'
The enraged Sammy thought to himself but he knew he shouldn't get hang up on that and so he mumured some prayers and continued reading
| Passive abilities |
"Please be good! please be good!"

regresser: (used and cannot be used again)
reincarnator: (requirements: regresser must have been used and blood must make contact with the book.)
Girlish scream: this ability is useful for borrowing the attention of people who want to look cool by saving a princess.
"Y-you got to be kidding me... what should i be depressed about? stats or this..."
Sammy now who is completly stone due to his "unique" abilities was now trying his best to flip the page.
After flipping the page he saw what seemed to be read as ranks.
| Ranks |
Each stat has a rank except fate.
{Life force}
• Sub-essential part
• Worshipped deity
• Ancient
• Dragon
• Elf
• Vampire
• Normal
{Soul energy}
• Sub-essntial part
• Adapter of destruction
• Peak of a mortal
• Great soul
• Normal
After reading all that he decided to let it all sink in, so he took a break, made a sandwhich and then got back to reading again but this time when he flipped the pages they were all empty and then he remembered the part where the book said how to read the chapters.
so Sammy did but out of habit, Sammy read the chapter while tracing the letters seemingly when a sacred light appeared out of habit hence seemingly transforming his room into a gate which will allow him to travel to another world
"Wow..."
Those were the only words Sammy could say before realising this was the place he previously died but why did it
activate back then...
His surroundings were the same as before as there was a tree that was medium sized yet it seemed to strecth to infinity and above, he was also standing in the little pond that he died on and he was not so shocked, he sat on a stone near by admiring the colorful flowers and pleasent smell.
Sammy thought to himself
'This place is nice if only for a hottub'
But there was no hottub and so he begain to read and finsihed in about...
Well he can't tell the time because there was no clock there infact he didn't even know how to get back home.
He was trapped...
But luckily he remembered the rule of the book saying that you can go back to your world by finishing the entire story.
Either way how bad can these worlds get?... very bad.
Due to this Sammy began reading the chapters so that he could choose which world was better but to his suprise the chapter " decayed world of a dying star "was the world of the tree that killed him.
"Which ones better well the second chapter decayed world of a dying star is going to be destroyed anyway and only after that does the story be completed! Such a short story." When he says that you might think it had probably only 50 pages but that single chapter had about 500 pages while the other one had more then a thousand it also seemed as the book could change the text of the pages
And after a few more hours he decided to go to the world where there was a slightly better chance of survival... slightly..
After letting out a sigh Sammy stood at the middle of the small pond then traced the letters and got sucked into the pond which perviously barely touched his knees now 15 feet deep under the water he held the book tight and then found himself in the middle of a classroom and using his surrondings he realised he was in japan. Its also because he knows Japanese and as he got out of the class room, he started running and nervously sweating as he was getting chased by a couple of zombies...
