The Final Revelation
Part 5: The Final Revelation
Kael’s world was a blur of grief after Conan’s sudden death. The shock had left him numb, and he couldn’t shake the overwhelming sense of dread that had settled over him. The line from the book kept echoing in his mind: He was with Ben when an ally died of his illness. It had happened exactly as the book had said. Conan had died in his presence, and Kael couldn’t help but feel responsible.
As he sat in his room, staring blankly at the wall, Kael’s thoughts kept circling back to the book. He remembered the unsettling smirk he had given the book after reading the entry about Ben, a reaction he hadn’t fully understood at the time. But now, after everything that had happened, Kael was beginning to see the truth. The book wasn’t just predicting the future—it was controlling it, dictating the events of his life with chilling precision.
And then it hit him: Ben wasn’t a person. Ben was the book. The book itself was the entity that held this power over him, and every time it referred to "Ben," it was referring to itself. The realization was horrifying, but it also made a twisted kind of sense. The book had been manipulating him all along, guiding him toward an inevitable fate.
The thought made Kael feel sick. He had been smirking at the book, thinking it was just a strange coincidence, but now he realized how deeply the book had its claws in him. Whatever he read came true, not immediately, but eventually—and there was nothing he could do to stop it.
The final page he had read, with the golden number "4," haunted him. A car accident when he was with Ben....
