At the far end of the room is a stone pedestal. “Look,” Quinn whispers as she approaches the stand. On it is an ancient book bound in leather and adorned by runes. “Could this be what we’ve been searching for?” she asks, her blue eyes are full of hope. “There’s only one way to find out,” I reply, stepping forward to examine the book more closely.

As he approached the towering structure, he could sense the weight of centuries of secrets pressing down upon him like a physical force.

His face was bright with excitement, eyes burning like fever.

The day before the college entrance exam, the class belle everyone adored stepped onto the podium. "I wasn't going to tell anyone, but I couldn't bear to let you all miss this opportunity. There's a hidden rule in this year's college entrance exam system. If you soak your answer sheet, it'll be transferred for a special manual review by top universities."

Bundles of cash filled the shelves. Old gold coins. A few black books filled with names, dates, sins, really. She took the money and two of the books. She didn’t know why, maybe just instinct. Knowledge was currency, too. Her reflection caught in the glass cabinet: pale skin, her blonde hair,now drab, eyes rimmed red from tears. She looked like someone’s ghost.

“The little auditor who thought she could balance the books of hell will be left all alone in the wreckage, with nothing but the silence for company.” The iron-bound book on the pedestal suddenly stopped flipping with a heavy thud that shook the floor. It lay open now, the two blank pages glowing with an inner light that looked like burning embers. It was waiting.
