Wooden Box
On the laboratory desk sits a wooden box entrusted by the Guildmaster. Inside lie an orc fang, a goblin claw, and a wyrm scale, all carefully stored. Let us begin our research with the orc fang. Prepare the microscope and commence analysis based on the principles of magic elucidated by the ancient magical civilization.
The orc fang possessed a structure far more complex than anticipated. Invisible to the naked eye, intricate magical circuits seemed woven throughout its interior. I fine-tuned the magnifying glass further, opened the Infinite Book, and began sketching meticulously. Though I usually record in ancient script, this time I opted for diagrams and brief annotations. The complexity and exquisite precision of the magical circuits were astonishing. It resembled the intricate workings of a sophisticated mechanical device.
“Hmm... this is...”
I murmured as I moved the pen. The infinite book never lost pages, no matter how much I wrote. Thanks to this mysterious property, I could continue writing my research notes until I was satisfied. I meticulously drew the fine structure of the orc fang, and beside it, based on knowledge from ancient magical civilization texts, I diagrammed the presumed flow of magical power.
The research continued late into the night. Fatigue gradually accumulated. Yet, the desire to unravel the magical mystery hidden within the orc's fang drove me onward.
Suddenly, the wyrm's scale resting on the desk caught my eye. Its iridescent glow seemed to radiate a vitality almost as if it were alive. It must harbor a completely different magical power, distinct from that of the orc's fang.
“...Tomorrow, I shall examine the wyrm's scale.”
I close the Infinite Book and set down my pen. My research into the orc's fangs is merely the prologue. I am once again struck by the sheer diversity and profound depth of the magic existing in this world. And I am certain that the journey to unravel its mysteries will continue. Though many pages of the Infinite Book are already filled with information, the vast expanse of blank pages still ahead seemed filled with unknown magical power.
