The Author's POV

Leviathan building, private training ground, Lock.
-Clang! -Clang!
A sword and two daggers interlocked together, and sparks flew in the air.
Shortly after, two figures appeared a couple of meters away from each other. Their breathing was even, indicating that their exchange was only a light one. They were Kevin and Jin.
Staring at the daggers in his hands, Jin frowned.
Pointing his dagger at Kevin, he darkly said.
"What are you doing?"
His tone carried hints of anger.
"What do you mean?"
Kevin absentmindedly lowered his sword.
Glaring at Kevin, Jin put his daggers away.
"If you're not interested in sparring with me properly, then don't call me again. Don't waste my time like this."
Just before Kevin could reply, Jin turned around and left the training grounds.
Staring at Jin's back, Kevin let out a sigh.
"Haaa..."
Although he wanted to refute what Jin had said, he couldn't muster any words to argue back. That was because he was right.
He was not in his right mind yet.
Ever since the appearance of the red book, he could no longer focus on basic things such as training or studying.
He didn't know why, but the image of the red book never left his mind.
It was as though a curse had been implanted in his mind, making him think of it all the time.
"Just what are you..."
Walking towards the side of the training ground, Kevin's eyes paused on a certain book beside a bench.
Walking up to it, he slowly picked it up.
A day ago, after mustering his courage one more time, much to his relief, he realized that he could now touch the book without going through some crazy experience like before.
From the looks of things, it seemed as though it was a one-time thing.
Sitting on the bench beside the book, Kevin opened the book and read what was written on it.
The oppressive pressure bore down on every corner of the battlefield, and a thick wave of bloodlust began to spread in the air.
Staring at the humanoid figure in the distance, ***** face became dyed with unprecedented seriousness.
"Looks like it's about time I get serious..."
The climax of the second wave was just about to begin.
"Second wave? Climax? What is going on?...and just who are you?"
The more Kevin read the book, the more questions he had.
The book was a complete mystery to him. The more he had it with him, the bigger the mystery became.
For example, who was the figure depicted in the book? Kevin did try to look back at previous pages to see if he could read anything, but they were locked.
Regardless of how much Kevin tried to read the previous pages, the pages wouldn't budge.
Because of his apprehension about the book, Kevin did not experiment much with it. But from what he found out in the last day or so of having it was only visible to him. No one else could see it, further adding to the book's mystery.
Tracing his finger on the words written on the book, his finger paused on the blurred-out name on the page.
Many times he tried to figure out who the person was, but in the end, he couldn't. The only thing he knew about the person was that he was a male, and was currently participating in a war.
Turning the page of the book, Kevin was met with a blank page.
Tightening the grip of the book, he silently cursed.
"Damnit, if only I could read back."
As long as he could read back on the book, he'd be able to figure out the identity
of the mysterious figure being depicted in the book.
Unfortunately, he couldn't. As though fate itself was laughing at him, the only thing he could see at the moment was what was happening to the person on the other side of the book.
"This is annoying."
Putting the book down, Kevin let out a tired sigh.

TRIIIIING!
It was then that his watch suddenly vibrated.
Staring at the caller ID, Kevin realized that it was Emma.
Putting the book down, Kevin answered the call.
"Emma?"

Instead of returning to his dorm, Jin directly headed for the Lock's entrance.
Waiting for him outside of the academy campus was a black limousine.
"Young master."
A beautiful woman dressed in a black suit was greeting him outside of the
limousine.
