The ancient book was steeped in history and remarkably well-preserved. Its hardcover was engraved with intricate, mystical patterns, and at its very center was a solemn title in gold foil stamping.
"*Hecante's Black Book*?"
Zhou Chen muttered the title to himself and opened the cover.
Instantly, his pupils constricted.
In the very center of the title page was a line of small, flowing script—the author's name.
—Authored by Hekant of Fallen Paradise
Holy shit!
Zhou Chen's face was a mask of disbelief and shock. 'Fallen Paradise!'
He knew the secluded organization known as Fallen Paradise had existed during the Old Era and was active toward its end. But he never could have imagined its history stretched back another five hundred years before that. It was an organization of incredible antiquity!
What was even more preposterous was that the Dark Curse Techniques recorded in *Hecante's Black Book* could actually be used!
