Chapter Twenty-One

The sound filling the air was as loud as a thunderstorm, the boom of warning bells echoing up and down the hallways and bouncing off the high ceilings of the library. Welp, that probably wasn’t a good thing. Sam temporarily ignored the deafening racket of the alarms as he turned his attention to a prompt which had appeared in the corner of his eye:

Would you like to bond with the Bibliomancer’s Sacred Tome? Doing so will form a permanent soul bond and might annul previous contractual obligations. As you have found the book, you have obviously studied the possibilities and repercussions of this action. Yes / No?

What was this now, Sam wondered? He could bind with this strange thing? He wasn’t entirely sure what binding with an object entailed, nor what the long-term ramifications would be, but there was one thing he did know from endless campaigns as a gamer—when an ancient magic presented you with a chance to do something, you did it. Because obviously, you just do it. Here was a sacred book, secreted away in the Sage’s section and further locked down behind a set of mystical bars that required a special key to unlock. If that didn’t earn him some kind of secret, ultra-rare questline… then nothing ever would.

Every instinct he had screamed in frantic joy, so he only thought about for less than a heartbeat before pressing ‘Yes’.

Contract formed with The Bibliomancer’s Sacred Tome! Bonding with this artifact has nullified your signature in The Accords of the Mage’s College; you have become an enemy of the Mage’s College and are now a Rogue Wizard! Your reputation with the College has decreased by -6,000. Current reputation: Loathed. Wow, that escalated quickly! You don’t do things in half measures, do you? I guess congratulations are in order? So… congratulations, you rapscallion! Way to stick it to the man! Might want to run.

Sam staggered drunkenly as a wave of golden light and unbridled energy washed out of the book, rushing into him like water soaking into a bone-dry sponge. The light lifted him from the ground, which before now meant he was leveling up. This didn’t feel at all like the other times he’d leveled up before. It hurt. This time around, the golden power burned, almost as if there was magma coursing through his veins and slivers of powdered glass had been injected directly into his muscles. His breathing came in short, sporadic bursts, and his head throbbed as though his brain was swelling up and ramming up against the inside of his skull… except, it didn’t have the room it needed to grow adequately.

As Sam hung there in the air, rotating slowly, knowledge bloomed inside his head while he was inundated with a host of new notifications.

Warning! Forced Class Change! You have lost the Class ‘Aeolus Sorcerer’, and all the following class-specific spells are locked: Wind Blade, Aeolus Sword, Mage Armor! You have assumed the Class ‘Bibliomantic Sorcerer’! You have retained the ability: Instinctual Casting.
