Records of the Weakest Emperor

"Yes..." Calvin nodded his head.

"Then, can you tell me a secret?" For the first time ever, Kevin revealed a smile.

"If you're really my friend. Can you tell me a secret that will ruin your life if it came out?"

Calvin was shocked.

"A secret that can ruin my life if it came out?" He softly uttered.

"Yes... As friends, it is normal for us to share secrets, right?"

Calvin pondered for a moment before probingly asking, "That makes sense, but how can you ensure the legitimacy of the secret? What if I was just lying to you?"

Kevin paused. It was obvious that he didn't expect this answer at all.

He grew agitated once more and started trembling like a sieve. Just as Calvin was about to speak to try and calm him down, he spoke up and said, "I can confirm it..."

"You will not be able to lie to me."

"Don't bother lying."

"I can expose it."

"Oh? You can?" Calvin raised an eyebrow, seemingly suspicious of Kevin's claims.

Kevin was just a kid despite his harrowing experiences. Feeling insulted by Calvin's words, he took out a small notebook from out of nowhere and said, "This notebook will tell me! As long as I write the secrets in this notebook. It will tell me if the secret is a lie or not!"

"What? You don't believe me?"

"Then, we are not friends!"

Kevin saw the look of shock on Calvin's face and he thought for sure that Calvin didn't believe what he was saying.

Frustrated, he threatened Calvin that he didn't want to be friends with him anymore. But he instantly regretted that decision. As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he trembled and stared cautiously at Calvin. He didn't say anything, but his eyes informed Calvin of what he needed to know.

"Hahaha..."

Calvin let out a boisterous laugh.

He was incredibly excited for the notebook that Kevin had in his hands was the Notebook of Secrets That Will Destroy Your Life! In other words, his earlier theory has now been confirmed. This world was indeed created by the Notebook of Secrets That Will Destroy Your Life!

This world, seemingly full of negative emotions and bullies wasn't actually a real world.

This was a world spun for some reason by that Notebook. In other words, since the Notebook owned this world. The only way that he could get out of this world was to acquire the approval of the notebook. Without the approval of the notebook, there was no way that he could get out of this place.

The notebook was a figure similar to a god in this school.

Why was it in the hands of a kid like Kevin?

Calvin inwardly uttered.

But he maintained a facade of doubt on the outside and asked, "Really? A notebook can tell me If am lying or not?"

Kevin saw that Calvin was so suspicious.

Annoyed, he angrily threw the notebook at Calvin and said, "You don't believe me? Then, try it yourself! Hmmph!"

Calvin was so shocked by what he had done. He caught the notebook in mid-air and opened it. Seeing the yellowish pages and smelling the ancient air coming out of the notebook, Calvin was now certain that this notebook was indeed that incredibly powerful Notebook of Secrets That Will Destroy Your Life.

On the outside, he maintained a confused and doubtful facade as he took a pen and asked, "Can I try to write any secrets? Or does it need to be secrets that can destroy my life it goes to the public?"

"You can write anything as long as it's a secret!"

Kevin crossed his arms in front of his chest, he still looked quite aggrieved. His posture and the way he puffed his cheeks made him seem quite cute. If not for the fact that his entire body was filled with festering wounds. Calvin would be convinced that he was just a sulking child.

"All right, I understand." Calvin nodded his head and wrote — "Ria Nolinon, despite her facade of a strong-willed woman, actually likes teddy bears and those girly things. Her toothbrush is a Spongebab Toothbrush, while her favorite underwear has a cute bear printed on its front."

Calvin lifted a smile seeing what he wrote.

When he placed that comma at the end of the sentence and raised his pen, the words that he wrote seemed to momentarily vanish but when Calvin opened his eyes once again. What he wrote was still there. The only difference was that next to the comma at the end of the sentence, the word — "Verified", was written.

"Wow! You were right! It really can verify if the secrets that I wrote are true or not! Just how does this thing work?"

Calvin exclaimed in shock while staring at what he wrote.

Kevin almost leaped out of his chair in excitement, "See! I told you that it will check if what you wrote as your secret is true or false! Those people! It's really stupid of them to not believe what I was saying!" Kevin looked to be really happy for he seemed to have found his kindred spirit.

For a child seemingly abandoned by the world, it was impossible to describe with words what he was feeling at this moment when he discovered that someone was actually believing him at this moment...

Kevin's eyes glittered like the stars, "Write! Write more! Write more! Write more of your secrets, my friend!" Kevin stood up and leaped up and down around Calvin.

Calvin found his actions amusing.

He took the Notebook out of Kevin's hands and wrote another secret.

This time, it was an earth-shattering secret — "I witnessed the end of the world. I purposely came here to get the Notebook of Secrets That Will Destroy Your Life from Mount Spirit Sword Asylum. This notebook is incredibly valuable and powerful, what's more. It's connected to the life vein of Mount Spirit Sword Asylum, the Spirit Sword..."

"I plan on disconnecting the notebook from the Spirit Sword, so it could finally be free once again."

"I'm not quite sure if the notebook is willing to follow me, but if not. Then, that's also fine. However, I am sure that the notebook will be convinced to follow me if it knows about my true identity."

"And that is..."

"I am the Author of the Great Book of History."

"I transcended time and returned to the past to change the harrowing destiny of humanity!"

The moment Calvin placed the exclamation mark, Kevin had gone silent...

The moment Calvin raised the pen he was holding away from the notebook, Kevin stared at him with wide-eyes.

The Notebook of Secrets That Will Destroy Your Life trembled like a sieve in Calvin's hands. It seemed to be struggling with something, but after a few seconds. The trembling stopped, and a word was added after the exclamation mark.

"Verified!"

Calvin smiled upon seeing the word.

He then turned to look at Kevin and said.

"So, what do you have to say?"

"The Notebook of Secrets That Will Destroy Your Life?"
