Chapter 32: Breaker of chains
Riven couldn’t hurt the book, but he could shake it. He gripped it and began to shake it. "Wait! Wait! I didn’t ask you to search for a mission! I’m not looking to do anything! I’m simply a rank two that doesn’t even know his technique!"
But the book didn’t seem to hear him because it kept writing "searching." It kept at it for a long time while Riven glared at it before finally stopping, and a new word appeared.
"Congratulations for accepting the mission of assassinating Spartacus. You will be re... thank you for your servitude!"
Riven stared at the book, stunned. "You’re just doing as you wish! And who is Spartacus? Kivara, do you know him?"
She shook her head. "The history of the world is too much, too long. So many eras have passed, we can only keep close to what’s near."
Riven didn’t know how to respond to that, so he focused on the book and read the new words. "Timeline and dimension confirmed. Transferring history... Transferring history... Transferring history..."
His eyes widened as a memory he didn’t know began to surface in his head. Who didn’t know Spartacus? The mighty breaker of chains? More and more crawled into his head, and he swayed as his mind gained weight.
And even without looking, he could read what the book was writing. "Integrating Dimensional Necromancer, Riven, into history... Integrating Dimensional Necromancer, Riven, into history... Integrating Dimensional Necromancer, Riven, into history... Integrating Dimensional Necromancer, Riven, into history... done!"
"Mission: Kill Spartacus or get assassinated. Again, congratulations for accepting. Mission starts in two minutes."
Riven cursed. "No way! You can’t just tell me it’s starting in two minutes and expect me to go along with it! I need time to get ready."
