I get ready to cast Scan a few more times.

 

I draw a heart on the third special page.

---

You drew a Heart of Mana blueprint

---

|  Do you want to build a Heart of Mana on this page?  |

|          Yes                                                                   No          |

---

I click yes.

 

Now I have a second heart of mana. It's identical to the first. now I have double the MP.

Mana: 623/982 MP.

 

I then draw 6 more hearts filling all the special pages.

Mana: 3563/3928 MP

 

That is a huge number. It was all thanks to your help.

I think It will last me a while.

 

I can finally know what is written on the object near me

 

Scan(200 MP)

"The greatest dem..."

 

Scan(200MP)

"The greatest demon..."

 

Scan(400 MP)

"The greatest demon king"

 

Wow!

Is the object a book like me?

Is it alive like me?

Do I have to fight the greatest demon king now?

 

One part of the phrase looks odd. The words "greatest" and "demon" don't go well together?

Aren't demons supposed to be evil?

If the object I'm scanning is a book than I've read only the title.

I need to read it's content.

Let's start from the first page

 

Scan(500)

Scanning progress (0.05%)

 

This is bad. It seems like the cover of this book is quite tick. My mana won't be enough to read the first page

When I use Scan only a small percentage of the mana spheres come back. I think that's because they have to hit an empty sphere which has a tiny area.

Using the same principle as the ink slopes I build semicircles around the empty spheres. By doing this a lot mana spheres get refilled

 

Scan(1000)

Scanning progress (3%)

 

Scan(1000)

Scanning progress (6%)

 

Scan(1000)

Scanning progress (9%)

 

I've used up all my mana. Even though before I said "I think It will last me a while "

 

It will take a long time before I can read the first page. I can't even imagine how long it will take to read the other pages.

If I wanted to read the first page now I would need more than ten times the mana.

I can't even imagine how many years it will take me to reach that goal.

 

How can I reach it sooner ?

I should ask the authors:

Hey you, give me your heart!

 

Maybe more politely:

Sacrifice your heart, please !

 

That doesn't sound too good either. I am not good at making requests. But I'll try my best:

 

---

When you gave me your heart you became a part of me. 

I can feel its heartbeat. Its will to live.

It's giving me strength, to go forward in this world where I fell like I am as insignificant as a grain of sand.

In this world of darkness, it is my guiding light. It is the start of my path.

With every heart you give I can take another step. I can see something new. I want to keep walking this steep path. I want to reach the top. And most importantly. I want to tell you that story.

Do you want to hear it?

---

If someone listens to my request maybe in a few months I will be able to read that page and tell you the story.

Anyway, let's check the Views, etc.

They shouldn't be much higher since the request will be seen after I post this chapter.

But who knows, you are quite generous. Maybe you guys already gave me a couple of hearts

 

Views: 491+931

Wow! You are amazing. You have tripled my mana. I didn't expect this. Thank you a lot!

Maybe in a few weeks, we will be able to...

Waht?! You did it! I thought we needed years. But you already did it!

You have quadrupled my mana after tripling it... Amazing!

But you need to slow down! I am not used to these surprises. I should check the stats more often

You have received :

27x Special page

Before I had:

3 928 MP

Now if I use all the free special pages for the hearts of mana I can get:

49 770 MP

 

I will be able to read the first page!

Thanks again for all the support.

See you next time!
