—Beep!
“Aaaah!”
“hey! “Bring something, something!”
“Something! Does anyone know what he should be fed?”
“Song! Do you know anything? “Can I give you milk?”
“I’ve never raised a baby bird either.”
A crucible of confusion!
After sleeping in the room for a while, when dinner time came, room 105 was already in chaos.
An unexpected baby parrot-like creature came out of the hatched egg.
No, I don’t even have an animal keeper, so what should I do if a kid like this suddenly appears?
In the confusion, the parrot started chirping like crazy.
A bird from the hotel’s golden egg! It can’t possibly be an ordinary bird.
You can’t let an animal like that die because you don’t know how to raise a baby bird!
[Advice: 3 -> 2]
‘Please tell me how to raise baby birds!’
I was so anxious even as I asked. Will there be a normal answer?
‘Raise it with sincerity.’
It would be a big deal if an answer like this came out.
I got a friendly and detailed answer that was completely different from what I expected.
[For meals, feed baby food made by mixing egg yolk with a little water, and make a bed with soft clothes. The infancy period is not long, so be careful of only a few days.]
… what? It feels like the ‘friendly advice’ I experienced a long time ago after first obtaining Advent.
Did the owl become kinder because it was a bird like him?
The content of the advice was announced.
There was an uproar as everyone frantically brought boiled eggs from the table to make baby food and took off their clothes to wrap themselves around the bird.
“Song!”
“yes?”
“How long does a normal bird stay like this? “We have to enter the cursed room in a few days.”
“I don’t know either. However, according to the advice my brother received, ‘infancy is not long’, right? Wouldn’t it be different from a normal bird? “I hope the hotel won’t tell us to raise a baby bird for a month.”
It’s persuasive. That would be correct, right?
After making a fuss for almost an hour, the atmosphere in the room calmed down.
Jincheol murmured with a mesmerized expression.
“Do I have to raise animal babies now? “I hope you won’t have to raise a human child next time, right?”
In the midst of this, Eunsol said calmly.
“If there’s a problem, write advice right away. “It’s an extraordinary creature that came out of a golden egg, so we can’t let it die in vain.”
“It may be an extraordinary creature, but what powers does it have?”
“I don’t know. “Wouldn’t you at least do something after infancy?”
From then on, the baby bird chirped once every 10 minutes, and every time it did, we were so distracted by feeding it baby food that we couldn’t tell whether the food was going into its mouth or nose.
Is it because of ‘friendliness’?
The baby bird naturally went next to Songi and whined, and Songi also naturally started feeding it baby food.
Only after the bird fell asleep did the rest of the people feel a little more at ease.
“It’s really hard.”
“…”
“I know… .”
While everyone was sitting blankly, Ari opened his mouth.
“Ask me one more piece of advice. “Are there any precautions?”
“You heard it earlier, right? Feed him good baby food and maintain his body temperature.”
“That’s just an ordinary way to raise a bird. Since this bird can never be ordinary, let’s be a little more specific and say, ‘Is there anything I should be particularly careful about?’ “Ask something like this.”
I was a little worried. I was in a situation where I was asking for advice about something I knew nothing about.
Will there be a normal answer? There was no choice.
[Advice: 2 -> 1]
‘Tell me what’s special about this bird!’
[Grotesque parrots should not be left alone at night.]
…
I was momentarily speechless.
What is that name? ‘Grotesque Parrot’?
What kind of new name is so ugly?
What happens if you leave it alone at night?
The content of the advice was delivered.
Songi responded as if it was no big deal.
“I’ll take you to sleep.”
“I heard you’ve never raised a baby bird before. Is that okay?”
“I have raised kittens and dogs. “Wouldn’t it be similar?”
I don’t know if it’s similar, but other than Songi, there was no one here who had even raised a dog.
As the atmosphere calmed down, reason began to return.
“Everyone may be busy, but there is a lot to do during this party time. I have to go to the Sanctuary of Blessing and look at the Book of Avatar. We need to think about each person’s blessings and decide where to go next. “When I have time, I’d like to get some advice about Advent.”
When talking about the last consultation, I looked towards the people in the management department.
“So it’s not time to just take care of the birds. We have to do what we have to do quickly. “Why don’t we go to the Sanctuary of Blessing and start strengthening?”
Ari expressed a different opinion.
“If you go to the sanctuary, some people will fall asleep for a day because of Ganghwa, right? In the meantime, if this bird becomes strange, it may be difficult for the remaining people to deal with it. Let’s postpone the sanctuary a little this time. And since we’ll take care of the birds ourselves, I think you should study the legacy first.”
The busiest person at this party time is clearly me.
A situation where you have to worry about inheritance mastery, strengthening blessings, and Advent.
Grandfather Mukseong also expressed the same opinion.
“right. “You should focus on your work this time.”
Naturally, I feel exempt from raising birds.
I went outside room 105 alone and took out the grimoire.
Even with the filter on, I felt like I was going to vomit as soon as I tried to open the grimoire.
I forced it open and looked straight at the strange text.
… My consciousness bubbled like a bubble and sank into the abyss.

A distant voice that seemed to melt my head was heard.
Where are we?
I want to go out
Let me out
It’s so dark in here
.
.
.
my
ryo
liver
all.
Endless abyss.
No matter how far you go, there is endless darkness.
A space where there is only ‘down’.
The one writhing in the darkness on the other side.
While swimming in the sea of despair, I learned the true nature of the grimoire.
In the past, the ‘unborn’ realized his/her self within the remains of his/her dead mother.
For eons, I just lived a nightmare without knowing who I was or where I was.
As the Nebula Dragon’s death brought his world to an end, mortals who wanted to stop the apocalypse came into contact with the dragon’s remains.
The heroes of this world learned that there was a child of god inside the corpse of a dead god.
At that very moment, the ‘unborn’ realized for the first time that there was an ‘other’ in this universe.
He was angry with the whole world, jealous of the whole world, so much so that even the mortals who came in contact with him were objects of jealousy.
The one who was jealous of everything created the power to go out into the world.
He created the power of possession to take over the bodies of mortals.
I created the power of incarnation to embody another version of myself in the outside world.
He forged the power of the sacrifice for his true birth.
The grimoire is a means of distributing all of that power to his servants!
Along with understanding came regret.
The most powerful power, ‘Sacrifice’, has been edited.
Before the hotel reconstructed it, the name of the grimoire in the true history was ‘Book of Sacrifices’.
However, the vaguely felt power of the ‘sacrifice’ was truly the height of evil.
Therefore, the most powerful power remaining in the grimoire is ‘Incarnation’, and the name of the grimoire became ‘Book of Avatar’.
At some point, I came to my senses. She found me standing in the hallway, leaning against her.
“Uweeeek!”
He vomited like crazy on the hallway floor.
An unbearable sense of heterogeneity struck me.
Have you ever felt like the body your parents gave you from birth was like clothes?
I realized it the moment I woke up.
The meaning of becoming the owner of a grimoire.
I am now free from my body.
At this point, my body is just clothes.
I have eternal life!
Eternal life that even the emperor who ruled the continent longed for.
I got it a month after arriving at the hotel.
However, the sensation I feel now is by no means a refreshing sense of liberation or joy at the fact that I have transcended humanity.
My whole body felt like it was stuffy, and I knew I could take it off.
My whole body feels uncomfortable. I want to take it off.
A disgusting sense of strangeness filled my head.
Perhaps because they heard the sound of vomiting, a person came out from room 105.
“Gain? Are you okay?”
“Eunsol sister… .”
I knew it the moment I made eye contact with my sister.
I can steal ‘those clothes’ and wear them.
I gritted my teeth and turned my head.
Let’s be patient. Is there any reason to steal a comrade’s body?
After saying sorry, I headed to the refreshment table near the front desk to spend some time alone.
I guess I should be alone today.
If it is the power of ‘possession’ that even eternal life is included as lightly as a service, then what is the ‘incarnation’ that surpasses it?
Strangely, I still couldn’t understand the Avatar.
I decided to use the last remaining advice of the day to help me understand the grimoire.

Ga-in’s brother suddenly made a sound of vomiting.
Eunsol, who had gone out to check, came back. Her older sister had a somewhat puzzled expression.
“Is your brother okay?”
“well? I don’t know if there was anything wrong, it was just a little sharp. “They said I would be alone.”
“Is it because of the grimoire?”
“I don’t know.”
Why is it suddenly doing that? Should I go out too?
—Beep!
Oh, I can’t go out. Hey, it’s starting again.
The bird, which seemed to be asleep for a moment, soon woke up and made noise almost once every 10 minutes.
At least I knew what the saying ‘infancy will soon pass’ meant.
This is my first time raising a bird, but I have raised kittens of cats and dogs, but this bird’s food intake is not normal.
No matter how I looked at it, I was wondering if it was physically possible for someone of this size to eat so much and so often, and he gulped down endless amounts of baby food.
This is probably the only baby animal in the world that can eat 30 egg yolks in one hour, right?
Within just a few hours of birth, physical growth began to be evident.
At first, it was honestly disgusting, but as soon as it grew fur and got a little bigger, it now looked like a pretty cute parrot.
What abilities does this child have?
At least it’s definitely not an ordinary animal!
At first, everyone was very diligent in preparing baby food and cushions.
After just a few hours, everyone quietly started to relax somewhere, and next to me was a bunch of syringes filled with baby food.
What is this atmosphere that I naturally raise alone?
What kind of monotonous parenting have you only heard about? It’s not like I’m going to work!
Ga-in, I understand that you are having a hard time because of the grimoire, but the rest is too much.
still… . I remembered what Eunsol said earlier.
There were many times when I was just blank during meetings.
Just as people who are good at meetings work hard at meetings, let’s think of it as something I do with animals because I raise them better.
While I was feeding baby food, a conversation from earlier came to mind.
Didn’t we say we should think about our own blessings during this party time?
When I heard those words, I remembered a sponsor I met when I was giving a blessing the other day.
Other people said they had great conversations with sponsors, but I had none of that.
An elephant so huge that it reached the sky came out in front of me, tapped me once with its trunk, and that was it.
And the strengthened blessing I received, ‘With all my heart’.
… I guess they didn’t say it because they thought it would give them ‘the strength to connect with each other with just their hearts’?
I didn’t have much to write about because it wasn’t common for me to encounter the ‘chaotic body’ that my affinity applied to, but as I took care of this child, I naturally began to accumulate experience.
As the name suggests, the emotions and impulses felt by this bird were conveyed to me. I also found that I could convey my feelings.
Endless hunger, fear, curiosity and… . love.
I feel that this child truly trusts and relies on me.
That fact filled my heart with affection.
So even when other people sneaked away, I was able to take care of them without getting too angry.
Since I’m raising it anyway, I should give it a name.
Grotesque Parrot Forget this horrible name! Your name is now ‘Pero’!
I looked after Pero until nightfall, then took him in and placed him on a cushion I made next to my bed.
That night, I learned what Perrault’s terrible abilities were.
