A(lie)ment Isekai (Part 1)(Finished)

Chapter 3: My Power

"Shock!!" I ended up yelling, hoping to cast the spell. Unfortuantly, it seemed like it didn't work. "Shock, shock, shock..." I repeated a bit. Hmmmmmmm, it won't work.

I ended up feeling a bit puffy from frustration. There is no reason to hide my feelings. Especially how excited I became. But, it feels like I was given a toy, and it was taken away. I MEAN, a game with annoying glitches.

After trying to troubleshoot everything, even going as far as tapping into the interphase that hovers until I "unstatus" it. However....It was less touch screen and more holographic.

After getting so frustrated, I ended up kicking the ground. It didn't kick up dirt. Instead, I ended up kicking out from the ground. It was that journal. "Oh, I must have dropped it."

I was a bit more allured by the weapon, I even decided to put more focus into them, equipping the weapon sheathes. I decided that it was more comfortable to have the Wakizashi sheath on my back as well as my Tanto japanese dagger katana on my finally decided right side; as I found out that it seemed that I kept my ambidexterity and since the Tanto is closely the same size as a baton, so I used my left hand. After sheathing, I ended up trying to unequipped them and equipped them, and it seemed that they appeared harnessed with the weapons in tow.

During this, I more than likely ended up dropping the book. I mean, although it had a cool, CYOA (choose your own adventure book) theme to it, compared to an alluring weapon, as well as the bright screened status, why should I have to resort to using a book?

"Well, there is no point in complaining. Guess, I will try to continue where I left off.."

Rather than flipping to the first place, I ended up trying to estimate where it was. Pulling open the book, it seemed I ended up falling up the 10th page, as labeled. This was one that I haven't gone to before, and wasn't what I was looking for, but it did shock me.

"Don't flip through this book a wiley niley. Always start on the first page." It stated. 

"Ummm, ok?" I decided to mischievously end up deciding to try again, this time, in the middle. To which I was given another warning. Oddly enough.

"Why didn't you listen to page 10? Trust me. Listen and go to the first page. You won't find what you won't unless you restart. If you don't, you'll regret it."

"Oh? How will I regret it?" I chuckled. Though, it is still quite intriguing. How about....the last page." Curiosity got the better of me. As I ended up opening the last page. "Wow!! This is......."

As I ended up seeing a beautiful shaped circle, perhaps a magic circle. As I looked at it, I don't know what came over me, but like a hypnotic spiral, it began to move a bit, before glowing a bit. As I continued to look at it, I was shot with a face full of something before dispersing.

Immediately, my ears began to ring as I had a face full of a frag grenade, and an intense headache ended up coming over me. I swear I could feel my head throb with pain as much as I could feel words resonate within me.

"You aren't strong enough."

"Ok! Ok! I get it...." Whatever was important about not flipping through random numbers makes no sense whatsoever. I mean. It is hard enough on its own to try and flip to the right page. Heck, it was a miracle that I was even able to flip to the right page in the middle of the book; without reading everything."

I decided to sit down a bit, once again on the grass. This time, I ended up scooting over to rest near a tree to work off this hangover; and I didn't even drink in the first place.
