I’m Seb (29M), a book collector from Perth, Australia. At least that’s where I used to be. About 30 minutes ago, I went to collect an order from a second hand book warehouse. These guys are run by a local charity and often get large deliveries of old, old books donated.

There’s a brilliant young man working there, Steve, who happens to be on the spectrum, and he diligently saves the best for me to pickup. It helps them move their volume and these older books can be a bit pricy, so the audience is more limited. Win/win!

Except this time I have not won. This time I’ve lost everything, and I wish I was being dramatic.

This book, the book I’m writing into now to communicate with you, has just transported me to… I… actually don’t know where this is. It’s familiar, yet strange here. I’m standing on unkept meadows and it’s kind of hilly.

But maybe we can find out together?

When I touched this book, I was zoip-ed here. That’s the only way to describe the sound.

A screen appeared as soon as I opened the leather bound cover. It’s called an ‘Adventurer’s Journal’:

Increase book level by acquiring guild members from other worlds. Guild Members receive your Journey Log and can be empowered through your own magic as you level up.

There is only one spell I’m able to access. A single Lvl 1 spell ‘grow guild’, which drains money to call out to potential guild members.

It’s really all I can do at this point. Hope.

Fuck it’s cold here,

Seb
