《The Rude Time Stopper》Chapter 11 Too Many Questions !
Advertisement
A magic tome ? no no no its a grimoire...ahh lets just call it magic book thats easier...
As i sat on the chair trying to make sense of what this book was it was without a doubt a magic book it helped me escape it can store items i can dismiss it it had all the magic proofs that i needed but some part of my mind just couldnt accept all of it even thought i already saw enough magic for your average human...
I looked at the book again and started writing another question.
-why were you in the prison ?
Ones again the words started fading and new words began to make shape.
-8 centuries ago i was written by the great king of wisdom solomon i was a record of his experiments a diary of blood and notes of knowledge.Solomon wrote over 300 books recording his gained knowledge and finally realized that with that many books he couldnt travel solomon didnt want to part with even one book so he used magic to make fuse all of the books and make the clavicula me the grimoire.
the page was full and i wondered if that was it until the one page turned on itself i was surprised but curious as well the next page held more text to it.
-...So and so solomon documented every knowledge he gained from spells,rituals and summoning's that including knowledge of other magical animals and mostly demons.80 years past and solomon was on his dying bed even he knew with all his knowledge he couldnt cheat death he was a powerful man no one expected him to die because of old age solomon himself made countless spells to strengthen himself in vain.In his last breath solomon wanted to protect his most precious think he had me the grimoire no one knew of my existence the whole time so finding me could end up into man kinds destruction so solomon using his last bit of strength made the sky prison to hide me there from the eyes of the outer world.

I was speechless i was in hold of a book that was 8 centuries old with a gigantic amount of knowledge about magic and other thinks...what could i do with it ?
I realized that i was getting too ahead of myself and quickly shook my head and thought "this couldnt be that easy"
Seeing that solomon wanted to hide this book so no one could use it to destroy the world i think that he did a really smart think...i laughed at my words for a minute he is the king of wisdom why wouldnt he think of it.
I ones again had many questions another think was who was the guy in the prison who gave me the the book in the first place why did he give me the book ? why didnt he use it for his own gain ? wait how could he use magic in the prison ?
From what i know magic cant be used in the prison steward himself told me that but how did he use it ?
I shook my head this is useless there are too many unneeded questions right now.
-(sigh)
I took the book and closed it i needed some time to think of this i am way to ahead of myself this isnt something that i have to concern myself with right now.
I dismissed the book and was about to leave the library until i remembered that i didnt read anything in here when i left the first time i was really exhausted tired but i could stand it.
I approached the shelf's and looked through the books...
-this is going to be long
I stopped time and started taking books out of the shelfs i knew that if i didnt move much it wouldnt affect my body much when time would start again i always could sleep and recover my mental exhaustion too so i moved slow and steady sitting down while reading books.
5 days 11 hours 43 minutes and 7 seconds later

One think i liked about stopping time was the state i was in when time was stopped i felt unchanging undifferent when time was stopped as if nothing could hurt me.
-start
time started i quickly sat down and counted down in my mind to keep me conscious and sane i knew that after 7 seconds the effect would take place and i would feel the 5 days of reading and moving around i waited...and it began.
-hugh!!
As i sat on the plushy chair my body started shivering my head was also ringing i was blacking out sometimes i was glad that i slept when i stopped time my mind wouldnt be able to take this if i would have been awake for 5 days.
I was wobbling shaking and sweating my whole body felt ichy and weird i waited so i could recover a little and after 30 minutes i was okey exhausted hungry and dirty but okey.
I looked at the clock it was 3 AM i was in this room for a hour probably but in my world i was here for 5 days.
I stood up my legs felt like they were about to crumble in pieces i looked at the to be sure they were okey but my body didnt tell me so.
I couldnt walk so i sat down and pulled out the smart phone....yes its called smart phone from what i read it was.
i started going through the menus on the phone to the dial screen there were already a lot of people listed in them even my little sister but i was searching for someone else right now here it is.
-hello ?
-yes is it maria ?
I asked.
-yes is it you dawn ?
-yes its me can you come to the library ?
-sure i can i am free right now what happened ?
-i kinda need help and can you please bring me something to eat i am starving
-didnt you just eat an hour ago ?
She asked sounding surprised.
-yeah i have a high metabolism so i cant help it
it was a lie.
-hmm okey i am coming after 30 minutes
she hung up i pocketed the smart phone and looked at the clock for a minute then at the ceiling.
I had been here for 5 days and what i did was first reading the history from what i know there had been a lot of thinks that changed so far so i had a basic understanding of this country.
the current year is 2048 i am in america right now steward said i was next to los angeles so i am on california one of the states in USA i didnt have this knowledge before and i was glad this library had so much information for me like steward said magic is non existing no one knows of it people think of it as folklore i read about religion politics and other thinks such as technology previously i had only knowledge about handy's but the last time someone used a handy was a century ago and people use now computers and smart phones instead i knew about cars and such that didnt change much relatively it was a really good think to know a lot i was satisfied and grinning.
time went like a breeze and maria was in the library i ate there 5 bowls of stew that was really delicious afterwards maria helped me move to my room because i couldnt do that myself maria didnt ask me anything about what happened it seemed like every personal here had that kind of mind set to them dont ask anything if it isnt your deal.
I got to my room and sat down on my couch i was dirty but i didnt mind all i wanted was sleep so i slept.

Sexy Sect Babes
“One in a billion.” Jack kept repeating the mantra in his head. “One in a billion.” That was the number the Omni-Corps liked to cite whenever someone stepped onto one trans-mat pad and then simply… never stepped off the other. “Safer than a car,” he repeated as he slogged through the snow, his mining overalls doing at least a passable job of keeping out the cold as he brushed aside a tree branch. “Safer than a plane. Or a starship. Safest form of transport in the Star League.” He slammed his fist into a nearby tree, exo-empowered strength shattering it into little more than scattered bark and kindling. “Yeah, well I never heard of a car ride stranding some prick in another dimension!” He roared, his voice echoing through the seemingly endless forest around him. Then he kept marching. He’d seen the fire off in the distance. And given all the snow around, he sincerely doubted it was natural. Which left the unnatural. Which meant people. He hoped. Because even if the trans-mat had screwed up, he doubted it had dumped him too far off the central finite curve. The fact that the air was breathable and that he could recognize the trees around him as oak told him that much. And if the dimension he was in had trees native to Earth, chances are it would have animals too. Of which humans would hopefully be no exception. “Because I’ll be damned if I spend the rest of my days talking to goddamn squirrels.” No, if there were humans on this mudball, he was going to find them. One way or another.
