Penalized For Throwing Away a Grimoire ???

"Huufff... Hufff.... Calm down there is no use in panicked and frightened. On contrary, it only makes me acted rash and easily making a mistake. Gamer's surviving manual rule number one is calm in any situation and think clearly." Mikhail calms himself down and began to analyze the situation Clearly.

"According to the gamer's surviving manual rule, number two is the clue always exist in our own surrounding. I will try to find some camera footage, video, photo, newspaper, or whatever that could give me some latest information also I also must stocking some food." Mikhail rubbing his forehead while thinking.

After deciding what to do Mikhail set out to inspect his surrounding area. First, he decided to search for some food and drink at convenient store across the street and find some instant foods and soda drinks at their stockroom although not much it's enough for him to last one or two months.

"Gamer's survival manual rule number three is avoiding open area since it is easy to get shoot….. er… I mean easy to be a target. Since I don't know anything now better be careful rather then sorry" Mikhail walks carefully and choose to pass over some alley and narrow street than highway or main road.

After arrived at some bookstore Mikhail went to find some newspapers, books, magazines, or whatever that could give him some information or at the very least some hints of the current situation but he didn't find anything useful. The last newspaper dated about 5 months ago so this situation already began since 5 months ago. There are also some news about the abnormal weather but he still unsure if it has some connection between it and the current situation or not.

Mikhail rubbed his glabella and slowly gathered his thought. There are no corpse or blood at all since he came out of his room, so it means there are two possibilities. First, all people in town still life only evacuates to a more safer place or the second…..

BOOM…. BOOM…. BOOM…

Mikhail feels the ground is shaking but not from the earthquake but because something heavy is moving closer. Mikhail quickly hides below a window while peeking through the corner of the window.

There is a giant werewolf bigger than 4-5 times of bear size with spiked bone on its back, shoulder, and chest makes it looks imposing and terrifying. The giant werewolf stopped in front of the bookstore and sniff around.

Mikhail looks terrified, even ordinary wolf already have a sharp sense of smell. If in the games, this giant werewolf sense of smell must be numerous times sharper than an ordinary wolf. Mikhail looks around to find something…. Anything that could cover up his body odor right away. He discovers a box of milk at the front desk and quickly pours it all over his body then hide in the toilet.

Fortunately, the giant werewolf did not hear the sound of Mikhail when he poured the milk all over his body or when he opened the toilet door because of it still quite far away.

Giant werewolf brings its nose near the bookstore and sniffing again. It frowned and then slowly walk past the bookstore getting further and further.

"Sh*t… What the hell is that thing…. Are an alien invade our planet or something???" Mikhail sighed. It was a narrow escaped if he is a little bit slower, he would already in that giant werewolf stomach by now.

Mikhail leans on some bookcase to rest but find an old book stuck between some bookcase that collapses.

"what is this book? Looks so ancient. I wonder what written in it." Mikhail tries to open the book but unable to open it. He forces it with all his strength but the old book won't budge.

"Forget it…. Next, let's try to the electronic store and find a radio then." Mikhail looked around after ensuring everything is clear, he proceeds cautiously if he finds out by that giant werewolf it means certain death because it's basically impossible to overrun it at all.

After walking some distance with bookstore Mikhail look behind him to find there is the old book behind him. It the same book he finds at the bookstore and failed to open it.

"What the hell is this eerie book??? So creepy….." Mikhail frowned and tried to run as fast as he can but when he stopped and look behind the book is still behind him. He finds this eerie old book is more and more dreadful.

"You sh*itty old damn book did you think I am afraid of you!!!" Mikhail gritted his teeth pushing his courage to the limit. Mikhail holds the book and throwing it as far as he can then he ran as fast as he could to the opposite direction.

*TING*

"Eh….. " Mikhail startled. There is a message sent directly to his mind.
