The Hidden Message

## **Chapter 5: The Hidden Message**

Lukman and Rahmat decided that they would fully dedicate themselves to understanding the power of the booklet and the dangers hidden behind it.

Lukman picked up the booklet again and tried to feel its energy. Every page of the booklet was now speaking to him, as if it had become a part of his consciousness.

Lukman turned to the fourth page of the booklet. This time, there were no words, only strange symbols and drawings. But as he focused, the symbols began to glow, and words emerged:

> **"Every power has a source. This power is not only within you but spread throughout this entire world. To understand it, you must connect with everything around you."**

Lukman closed his eyes and slowly controlled his breathing. He could feel the energy around him more clearly now. He could see the energy not only from machines and plants but also from within himself.

"So, all of this truly lies within me," Lukman whispered to himself.

Rahmat tried searching the internet for any information related to the booklet. He found some ancient legends and myths mentioning powers that were a blend of science and magic.

"Lukman, I think this booklet is not just any ordinary book. It holds secrets that aren't meant for ordinary people," Rahmat said.

"I feel the same. But the question is, who are the people behind this booklet, and why are they trying to take it away from me?" Lukman asked with concern.

It was night. Lukman and Rahmat were both sitting in the lab. Suddenly, the room grew cold. This wasn't just ordinary cold; it was something unnatural.

"Can you feel this chill?" Rahmat asked, shivering.

"Yes, and I think it's the same creature that attacked me last time," Lukman said firmly.

At that moment, a shadow began to emerge from the corner of the room. Its eyes glowed red, and its voice echoed through the air.

"You have used the booklet again. Your death is certain now."

Lukman tried to feel and control the energy within him. His fingers began to glow with a blue light.

"I have started to understand this power. Now, you should be the one who's afraid of me." Lukman challenged.

The creature laughed. "You think you can control it? This power is beyond your ability."

"If this power has come to me, then I have the right to understand it. And I won't give up." Lukman declared with determination.

He formed a sphere of blue energy with his hands and hurled it toward the creature. The creature screamed and retreated, dissolving into black smoke and vanishing.

"What was that, Lukman? Is all of this really happening?" Rahmat asked in disbelief.

"Yes. And this power is capable of protecting me. But this is only the beginning. I need to figure out who that creature is and what it wants from me."

"If this power is with you, then that creature must also be connected to it. We need to uncover the history of this booklet." Rahmat suggested.

"You're right. If we want to understand this power, we must dig deeper." Lukman agreed.

### **The Mysterious Message:**

The next day, Lukman opened the booklet again. This time, it contained another message:

> **"What you see is not always the truth. To understand the power, you must use not only your eyes but also your mind and soul."**

Lukman read the message carefully. He realized that the booklet was not only making him powerful but also training him.

Rahmat planned to gather more old documents and legends. Meanwhile, Lukman decided to intensify his practice with the power.

But the question remained: What other dangers would they have to face to uncover the secrets of the booklet?
