With this, there wasn't much more to read.
His flaw was an easy one, he knew its name and what it did. So he simply skipped.
Now, after reading all of it, he turned his eyes for the best, his Memories. He only had one, but honestly, it was the best thing he could have gotten.
Ever since reading the novel, Otto was enchanted by the mask. The intricate pattern, its hollow eyes, the four bared fangs, the three twisted horns… Everything at it screamed cool. That's why he had started to read the novel in the first place, and now, he had it.
Wasting no more time, Otto tried to summon his memory, only to discover he had no idea how to do it. Normally, one would be able to with just a thought. Something instinctive to every awakened, but he wasn't like everyone else. So it took him a few tries, eventually he got it.
Yet, something wasn't quite right.
In the novel, the act of summoning a Memory was described as a 'show of lighting', taking a few seconds before it fully manifested, to Otto however it wasn't like that. Instead of sparks of lighting, the Memory weaved itself in existence, suddenly appearing in his hand almost instantly.
'Is it because I don't have a Soul Core?'
He would have thought about it more, that was if he didn't lose himself in the beauty of the mask.
"So cool. "
his very own Weaver's Mask. He couldn't hide his excitement, as his legs didn't stop trembling.
"Hey, Look. It isn't beautiful?"
He tried to show it to Silk, but the little spider was too tired to even care. Not that she would be impressed by it though. She had lived in the temple for many years and saw many people coming and going in that mask.
"Right, you are tired… Thanks for your service, I guess."
Speaking of Silk, wasn't she also supposed to have runes? Surely she had to, after all, even echos had, so why would his follower wouldn't?
Opening his runes one more time, Otto focuses on Silk's name. Instantly her runes opened. It didn't took long for him to translate it all, as he was getting the hang of reading by now.
Follower Name: Silk
Follower Rank: Awakened
Follower Class: Beast
Follower Description:[This spider spent its days weaving its web—because weaving was its life. Until, on what seemed like an ordinary day, it encountered the cunning Fate Eater. Drawn in by his mesmerizing golden eyes, the spider crept closer. And that was when its fate was sealed.]
He raised an eyebrow.
"What do you mean 'crept closer'? She was literally thrown at me. And cunning? I still don't get it where I earn that title."
He snorted, clearly not happy about being called cunning for no reason.
Follower Attributes: [Fated], [Chosen one], [Silk], [Song]
[Fated]
Attribute Description:[The little spider had her fate stolen by the cunning Fate Eater. Now, bound by his strings, it could no longer run away from him.]
Now, that was ridiculous. Stole her Fate? She was the one that wanted to go with him, he didn't steal anything. If anything, she was the one who handed it to him.
"This is fucking bullshit." He eyed the little spider lazily laid on the table, "Does she know that she belongs to me now?"
[Chosen One]
Attribute Description:[This spider was the first follower of Fate Eater, because of that, it shares his powers.]
"Hm… this seems good."
Shared his powers. Does that mean that she would awakened with him? If so, did it also mean that she would rank up with him?
"At least she won't be useless forever." he murmured
[Silk]
Attribute Description:[This spider silk was especially stronger and flexible than normal.]
[Song]
Attribute Description: [Her web resonates on its own, carrying a melody born from her silk.]
'Silk and Song? What kind of reference is this…?'
Well, at least he discovered how she was able to mend his bones. He wondered how strong it was. It had to be a lot, if not, his bones would have shattered again by the pressure of his body alone. Also, now that he thought about it, was she only able to mend his bones or would she also be able to mend his entire body?
Only now Otto realized that his previous battered body was completely healed…well, not completely. White scars were covering his body, each one in the exact place that it was previously cut.
"Mm… That's good, I think…" he wasn't sure if he wanted a spider crawling inside of him, using her web to cover his body in white scars. Not that he was complaining though. Having a personal doctor was a crazy advantage.
"If she can mend my bones, can she also reattach my arm if it ever gets cut?" Honestly he didn't want to find out.
Not giving [Song] too much thought, he skipped over her abilities.
Follower Abilities:[True Heir],
[True Heir]
Ability Description:[It can see the strings of fate.]
He froze.
"No way…" he read many times to make sure, but the word "See" was undeniable.
He was about to punch the table in frustration when sudden noise attracted his attention. His head snapped towards the noise.
Someone was entering the library.
