The book of merlin

I found myself in the air, I only saw the thick white clouds that were below me, I didn't know what was going on.

Was I locked up like a test on some flying thing that was in the air? Putting aside my thoughts I noticed that the little girl had not woken up despite everything that had happened.

But now was not the time to think about that, I am literally in free fall above the clouds, how can I do not to crash like a pancake once I hit the ground?

The air grazes my face, twisting it with the power of the fall. Fortunately, I didn't have heart disease or I think I would have died 1000 times already.

As I fell, an idea came to my mind, still keeping the girl in my arms, I concentrated as best I could to bring up that damn blue window.

I passed through the white clouds as the system appeared before my eyes, the same blue system that had hurt me extremely badly but also saved my life in the process. I quickly looked at the [Quest] tab but no quest was available so I had probably finished the other after escaping from this strange place.

Below the [Quest] tab is the [Reward] tab which had a (+1) next to it. I knew what it meant.

'Maybe that would save me' Crossing my fingers as I was already starting to see the ground I opened the [Reward] tab of the system praying that there was something that could help me in a fall situation.

------------------

[Reward]:

Book of Merlin: Contains the unique knowledge of an extremely powerful and feared mage of his age. It is said that the book still hides much bigger secrets, but to this day these secrets are unknown.

------------------

'Seriously, I'm going to die from a fall and you give me Merlin's book?' I growled in my head seriously this system can't be reliable ... I was going to die and all he gives me is a book to do magic ...

I didn't have time anymore, the book would probably not bring me anything and then I didn't have time to read it now, besides I still had a possibility but will it work?

A few seconds passed quickly as I finally got to see all the buildings, houses, and even cars driving through the streets of what I would call a modern city.

Still carrying the girl at arm's length I said "Pause".

The air coming over me instantly stopped rubbing against my face, I continued to fall noticing the birds frozen in the sky, the cars not moving, and a few passers-by who were also not walking.

Placing the little girl against my chest, I turned my back to the floor in a final protective movement.

* BOOOOOM *

The sound of an explosion but, just as suddenly, nothing more, just dust in the air that remained fixed and the great crater that I was in, me and the girl.

* Cough * * cough * * cough *

Even though I had stopped the time the dust still seeped into my lungs making me cough to my full lungs. Straightening up with my hands, I felt no pain in my body from the fall.

Smiling at the success of my idea, I looked at the little girl who was still sleeping, anyway the time had been stopped she couldn't have done much.

Taking her in my arms, I looked around, still, time stopped. Noticing the unlit lampposts, the benches, but mostly the leaves and the trees, I knew I was in a fairly large park.

I had to leave, I felt exhausted from everything I had done, I also felt that time was not working in my favor since I think the major part of my fatigue is the use a lot too forced off it.

I ran away from the impact of the crash with the little girl in my arms, now that I could see her she had green liquid residue on her. She was also not dressed and somehow I don't do that sort of thing. All I wanted now was to find a safe place to rest.

****

Finally, I would say that a few hours have passed without my leaving time the possibility of resuming, anyway, what would the passers-by say if they saw a teenager in a white coat carrying a girl filled with a green sticky substance and naked in his arms?

Also, I felt exhausted, livid, liquidated, dead and every other word that could come through my head that started to explode getting heavier and heavier each time I let my time power activated.

I couldn't find any safe accommodation and carrying the little girl in my arms the whole time was getting tiring.

Finally, I was fed up, approaching a sort of mansion-house I thought I saw a girl who did not move on her way home. My eyelids were getting heavy, my headache was getting worse by hundreds, I felt like I was going to die if I continued. I had no more strength in my body but especially in my mind.

Fortunately, I kept a bit of lucidity not just noticing that the girl looked like she was in her teens too but I didn't have the concern of seeing her features before I came in front of her who was frozen like a statue.

Without knowing it my legs let go of fatigue causing me to fall to the ground. I felt an unbearable pain release all over my body, the feeling that my body was turning to boil.

I had miscalculated, stopping time didn't stop the pain .. no, it just delayed the pain.

With that last thought, I touched the woman's back with my hand before closing my eyes, losing consciousness in a flash.

* DING * * DING * * DING *

"Wha-?"

Time had already resumed, accompanied by the same sound I had heard before I died for the first time, the system, and a little cry of surprise.
