Timeless Tower, floor 100th,
Constant Baron-1 was sitting in a cross-legged position while the open black book was hovering in front of him, shimmering in crimson hue.
Right at this moment, the black book suddenly trembled violently, and Constant Baron-1's eyes snapped open. He instantly started coughing and shaking his body.
The black mask on his face fell, revealing a charming yet ashen face, black blood was oozing from his orifice, and his healthy skin started to wither. His young appearance turned into an old, wrinkled face with black veins.
His eyes were filled with disbelief and fear as he quickly flipped his hand and took out a bright crimson vial. Without any delay, he opened it and emptied it in his mouth. Only then did he stop coughing, but his appearance remained the same.
"W-who is he?!" His hoarse yet weak voice rang filled with terror and hatred. He thought it was nothing but a nightmare, but reality was often cruel.
