Chapter Four

In ancient times, there existed a group of wise individuals who used their profound knowledge to create powerful and mysterious books. These books held unimaginable abilities, capable of shaping destinies, manipulating luck, and even dealing death. Unfortunately, most of these books were lost over time, scattered across the vast world. Yet, three books remained: the Black Hell Book, known as the Book of Death, the Book of Destiny, known as the Book of Luck, and the Book of Power, referred to as the Book of Fate.

The Book of Death

The Book of Death was a sinister artifact, granting its holder the power to kill anyone simply by writing their name or identity, along with the scenario in which they would die. It was said that once the name was inscribed, death was inevitable.

Appearance:

The book was bound in cracked black leather, resembling charred coal. Its corners were reinforced with dark red metal edges, as though dipped in blood. The cover bore intricate carvings of skulls and bones, symbols of death and decay. In the center, an engraving of a Hellhound, a monstrous wolf-like creature symbolizing death, dominated the cover. The pages inside were a faded yellow, frayed at the edges as if cursed by time itself.

Aura and Effects:

When opened, the book exuded a cold, black aura that filled the air with the scent of death and decay. The atmosphere around it would grow thick and suffocating, as though life itself was being drained from the surroundings. A chill ran down the spine of anyone near it, causing an inexplicable fear to grip their hearts.

This dark tome had a psychological grip on its owner, warping their mind. It whispered in the night, urging the bearer to kill and satisfy the book's hunger for death. The more the book was used, the deeper the bond between it and its owner, leading to a descent into madness.

Its Holder:

Jack, the current owner of the Book of Death, was a man consumed by anger and hatred toward the world. His past was filled with pain and loss, and the book became his weapon for revenge. To Jack, the book was more than a tool; it was his way of cleansing the world of evil, punishing criminals according to his personal code of justice. However, each time he used the book, a piece of his humanity faded, leaving only darkness.

The Book of Luck

The Book of Luck was a much gentler, yet equally powerful artifact, capable of altering fortune itself. It allowed its owner to manipulate luck, either for themselves or for others. This power could tilt the balance of fate in their favor, making the impossible possible.
