Best Opening Lines Of A Book の小説・ストーリー

Novel's POV After returning home, the book seemed to pulse on my desk, demanding to be opened. Earlier, I’d told that woman I had a boyfriend, but the truth stung, Alexei hadn’t even asked me out yet. How pathetic of me. “The Book of Outer Land,” I whispered, sliding on my reading glasses. As I opened the cover, a cloud of ancient dust drifted upward, smelling of cedar and forgotten places. “Ouch, cough! Seriously?” I sputtered, waving the dust away. My eyes landed on the dedication page.

I said. “So,” he said simply and pushed the door open. I followed him in. Grayson pulled a book out. Read the back. Put it back. Pulled another. I watched him. “This one,” he said. Holding it up. I read the title. A novel. The kind with a character on the cover looking at something just out of frame. “What made you choose it?” I said. “The first line,” he said. He opened it and read quietly. “He had spent so long building walls that when they finally came down he didn’t know whether to feel free or exposed.”

"Then begin." She opened the book. The pages were heavy vellum, script ink written in flowing black. She breathed in and started reading, her voice deepening as she became caught up in the book. It was rich and sensual, of the god's coming, the scent of rain and mature grain that clung around him, the fear of the gentleness of his hands.

“Would you like to hear a story?” To a click of the tongue, as a smile draws and someone’s subconsciousness and very thoughts agree in silent response. A book is open as a triggering start where HE glances quick and cunningly smiles, starting with the words and the introduction that brought his thoughts back to his past and the very beginning of his entwine life towards the world and the very book of. “DEATH REINCARNATE.”

I didn’t even try to fight much before I opened it. The first few pages were notes. Each had different underlined headings like training schedules, ideas for improving pack defenses. I kept scrolling, breezing over the words until I reached a page that didn’t have a heading like the rest. It just started with one sentence that stopped me from breathing. ‘Her name is Mia.’ At that point, I knew I should stop. But I couldn't. Not even a hurricane would have pulled me from that book.

Nothing was happening, but I could tell I was having a strong conversation with the book. “So, where do I start from?” I said to myself. The book started to flip itself and it stopped at a certain page. I snorted. This was interesting. Now I can talk to books. Great. I glanced at the open page, and my eyes widened. The first thing I saw was the picture of women, white-haired women. A string of headaches pinched my head. Then I remembered the ladies I saw on the day of the moon festival. The women who looked like they were in pain, trying to reach for my hand…they were the exact women in the book.

I opened the brown book to view the dusty pages inside. I was so fascinated with it that I didn't hear anything else, my eyes stayed on the pages. I read the first page which was a complication of all the chapters in the book. Starting from the history of magic to how to keep the bloodline pure. That word again, bloodline, I thought. I read it one by one to see what I could find on this oathed, there wasn't anything special. Nothing relating to that or close to it. As I scanned the page again I saw a heading, ‘ritual’ it read.

But after a lingering stare that stretched into minutes, he flipped open the first page, his eyes fixed on what was written below the dedication, and he heaved a sigh, flipping some pages over till he got to the first chapter. “Dreams lay shattered, and sometimes surprise might turn out to be the beginning of sorrow…” He clenched his teeth after going through the first fifteen words, it was a reminder that truly, Elysia poured her heart into that book, but then, a remorseful look crept to his face, and just as he flipped the book over to the next page, a call came in, and he picked up his phone, staring at the name for some time before he finally swiped it to the right, and it connected, fol

Those who would try to sail here would be discouraged and see nothing but a barren heavily iced land. Now that the wards were in place, it was time to make us a home. Calling the earth spirit again, every grain of sand, volcanic ash swirled around me. Calling forth a pure white feather and flinging it towards Michael, Adrian, Celestria, Ramses, and Nefertari and finally myself. The feather drew blood from each of us. Mixing it with elements of the earth, I slammed it all into the ground. The ground shook violently. The earth opened, lava shot up into the sky. But didn’t come down it was sliding down slowly the wind acting as a mold. A massive fortress was taking shape.

And Nina didn't know why her chest was throbbing so violently, she also lost her attention to what she was reading and remembered her last conversation with Argus. But she also immediately erased the suspicion that started building her system and she would still trust Argus no matter what. Soleil's eyes dropped to the book on her lap, and her eyebrows met. "The Moon Goddess and the wolf." Soleil reads the title of the book she is reading. "I didn't know you were fond of that kind of genre, miss Nina." "And guess what, Soleil. The name of the characters here is also familiar. Did you know that the name of the guy here is Hawthorne?"
