[ You have entered Treasure Island (the 57th Island)!! ]

[ Escape from Treasure Island within the next three minutes. ]

"Alan, you need to be fast. Don't be greedy. Just take one item and escape the island, or you'll be trapped here," Sage Sticks warned.

Alan nodded and activated Orc King's Transformation, his speed surging as he dashed forward.

Gold was scattered everywhere—piles upon piles, along with countless weapons and rare items shining with different auras.

"Anything good…?"

He quickly scanned the surroundings, ignoring most of the treasures. There was no time to hesitate.

He grabbed a random sword—it was an legendary sword—but immediately tossed it aside and continued searching.

[ 2 minutes remaining. ]

"Damn it… nothing exceptional."

Alan gritted his teeth. He didn't want to waste this opportunity, but time was slipping away.

He moved even faster, his eyes scanning everything in a blur.

[ 1 minute remaining. ]

"Where is it…?"

Just as he was about to give up—

He spotted it.

A small, unassuming book lying among the treasure. It didn't shine like the others, but something about it felt different… deeper.

"This is it."

Without hesitation, Alan grabbed the book and other books along with it.

At the same moment, the island began to collapse.

The ground cracked, and the surrounding treasures started sinking into the void.

Alan instantly activated his movement skill and dashed toward the exit.

The island crumbled behind him as he leaped forward—

[ 3 seconds remaining. ]

He crossed the boundary just in time.

"Phew… safe."

Alan let out a breath as he finally stopped.

Alan finally slowed down after confirming he was safe.

But before he could relax—

Crack.

The sword he had casually picked up earlier began to decay in his hands.

"…?"

It rusted rapidly, turning brittle before crumbling into dust.

[ The item has been destoyed. ]

[ You have obatained Ancient Death infused Iron x9 ]

"That was…?"

Alan narrowed his eyes as he looked at the pieces of Iron on the ground.

"That sword must've belonged to a powerful Death Knight for a long time. It had already reached its limit."

He clicked his tongue.

"Still… for a moment, it felt like a good sword."

"But I can atleast made new one now" he mumbled putting the ores in his inventory.

Shaking his head, Alan turned his attention to the real rewards—the books he had taken.

There were four of them.

He opened them one by one.

"Two skill books… both Unique grade."

A faint smile appeared on his face.

"Not bad."

The next one caught his attention.

"A class change book…"

[ Class Change Book – Storm Archer ]

[ Rating: Epic ]

[ A rare class that combines high-speed archery with storm-element magic. ]

[ Grants control over wind currents and lightning-infused arrows. ]

Alan's eyes gleamed slightly.

"Storm Archer… a strong class."

But he wasn't interested.

"I already have my path."

He put it aside and picked up the final book.

The moment he touched it—

A strange, ancient aura spread through his body.

"…?"

Alan's expression turned serious.

"What is this…?"

He checked its information.

[ Ancient Grade Catalyst – Book of Akashic ]

[ A magic catalyst in the form of a book. ]

[ Just like staves and orbs, it can be used to cast magic. ]

"Huh… a book catalyst?"

It was the first time Alan had seen something like this.

"In Satisfy… books can be used as catalysts?"

He frowned slightly, then read further.

[ Ancient-grade items originate from a forgotten era. ]

[ They were widely used in ancient times, but are no longer available in the present age. ]

"I see…"

Alan muttered as he examined it more closely.

"To think something like this still exists…"

The Book of Akashic is a relic from an ancient era, said to contain fragments of the world's original knowledge.

Unlike ordinary catalysts such as staves or orbs, it does not merely amplify magic—it records, analyzes, and reproduces it.

Legends claim that the original owner of this book was a being who sought to archive all magic in existence. However, the book was lost before its purpose could be fulfilled.

Even now, faint traces of countless spells linger within its pages, as if waiting for a worthy successor.

The Book of Akashic does not simply remember—

It steals eternity itself and makes it yours.

However, such power comes at a cost. The more the user relies on borrowed abilities, the heavier the burden placed upon their existence. ]
