All three of them looked at the young man walking away, unbothered by the scene, the first one to act was Revchi, with a decisive move.
— Stop right there!
Chains flew in Yuhan's directins, wrapping tighly around him, which startled him a bit.
— Can't have you running around to call the guards.
During this time, the silver haired boy leapt foward while Revchi was distracted, trying to tackle him, but it was useless, chains started to appear and attack the boy, while he tried to dodge and jump away from the path of the chains, he reached behind the man, ready to punch him, and just at the last moment, a long chain wrapped around his waist.
— I'm NOT done yet!
Screamed the boy, but with a grin on his face, Revchi waved his hand.
— No... You're finished.
Chains came down upon him, a brutal scene right before Yuhan, his body was cut and trashed around, bloodstains hitting the floor.
— Dance of the Pitless Viper!
Called Revchi as the boy's body hit the wall, with slow steps coming closer to him, Revchi stepped on the boy's shoulder making him look at him.
— I have the ability to find out just how much magical power one has with these chains, and you have no magic at all, you must've been born this way, no wonder you couldn't get a grimoire!
With a maniacal laugh, Revchi looked down amused.
— What a priceless find! To think someone so pathetic existed, you wont be able to find a job, let alone become the Wizard King!
Mocking the boy, barely clinging to consciousness, Revchi kicked him again and again, Yuhan's eyes were wide in shock at the scene.
Yuhan had enough of this, trying to force his way out of the chains, but besides shaking a little bit, it didn't do much else, but that caught the attention of Revchi.
— I told you to stay put!
With a wave of his hand, Yuhan felt a pull coming from the chains that bound him, his body was flung to the left, smashing against the wall, a shocking sensation spread in his body from his back, pain, a ringing in his ear when his head hit the wall, all slowly a warm sensation trickled down from his head, like warm water being poured in his hair, with his blurry vision he saw it, droplets of blood hitting the ground, his blood.
I can feel it, is this not a game? what is happening?
The ringing in his ear continued, he could see a discussion between them, as the silver hair boy stood up once again, red particles came floating from the ground and a grimoire appeared before him, as it opened, a black sword came from inside the book, floating with a red aura around it.
The chains on Yuhan disappeared, Revchi send more chains to attack the boy, but it was all useless, all of them broke by his sword. As his eyes went dark, he could see the faint outline of both boys rushing towards him.
Yuhan woke up to a strange sound.
[Synchonization Complete! Launching Millenium Grimoire...]
A transparent blue screen floated in front of him, he just woke up in a room, other childen were laying on the floor, covered in simple gray sheets, he recognized the two boys from before he passed out, but looking at the screen in front of him, Yuhan quietly stood up, walking softly towards the door, he stumbled his way around the place, a western-style building, looking like a church, no lights but the moonlight coming from the windows gave him just enough light to not run into a wall.
Reaching a big door, Yuhan found an exit, looking from the outside, the place seemed a little run down, open fields, a few trees and a dirt road was all he could see. Finding a place beneath a tree, Yuhan tried again to open the game interface, but none of the screens appeared.
But this message here, it looks like a system interface, but it's not from Shadow Realms…
At this moment, the message changed.
[Millenium Grimoire has been delivered Successfully!]
A hand-sized white portal appeared just as the message closed, and from the portal, a black book, adorned with gold borders, and a Millenium Eye on the front cover came out, floating in front of Yuhan, on the back of the Grimoire a golden four-leaf clover adorned the book.
Millenium Grimoire, it's just like the ones I saw at the tower
Yuhan grabbed the floating Grimoire, a warm light enveloped his body and a page opened up in front of him.

Only the Millennium skills remained, strangely, the Millennium Puzzle skill was not there. Pushing this thoughts aside, Yuhan tried to call for the options screen, the logout option, but nothing worked.
I can't leave... Am I stuck here?
Trying a few more things, he opened up the Quest Screen, a single quest was there, "Road of the Magic Knight". After touching it a description came to view.

That reminded him of something, in his inventory there was a "Beginner's Pack".
Let me see what it does...
After opening his inventory and touching the text, a light came from the book, as the text became a small card pack, mostly silver with random monster on the art, the text below wrote "Beginner Pack - Monsters and Minions"
After analizing the pack for a while, with confidence Yuhan ripped open the pack and five cards came to his hands from inside, as the metalic wrap disappeared into particles of light.

Five cards, after just a few moments the cards flew from Yuhan's hand a touched the book, new pages filled the book and their knowledge was conveyed directly into Yuhan's mind.
— Wait... This changes everything.
