Somewhere that looks like a medieval castle building. The atmosphere was so gripping the piano melody filled the silence. A woman sits at the piano and plays a Mahler Symphony No. 9 in D Major. Making the room filled with an aura that is enough to make you shudder. The black-haired woman with pale white skin plays the piano skillfully in the dim aesthetic light. It wasn't long before the sound of shoes coming from the opposite direction was heard and he continued to sound as he got closer and closer. It turned out to be the maidservant who had come to pick her up at the music room. Then the woman stood up and left with her servant. At the same time, Gabriel was busy lying down and then he went to the kitchen to get a beer that was in the fridge. Instantly he who looked sleepy suddenly felt his head spin and in an instant he fell on the floor. When he opened his eyes he was in a dark dimension and he quickly saw a light that seemed so blinding that it almost made his eyes blind. Gabriel then closed his eyes and he was already in a room filled with blood splatters. As soon as he saw the chair like a throne covered in blood and saw a symbol that he had seen for the first time in a room. "Where is this? Dark. What's that? ah damn terrible," Gabriel grumbled. He continued to walk around the area and until one day the loud sound of the melody sounded in his ear without lingering he looked in the opposite direction and there was no one. "What is this? It just scares me." Gabriel who was still trapped in his subconscious dimension slowly opened his eyes when he saw himself lying on the kitchen floor. Once he realized what had happened he finally tried to stand on his two feet and get a drink of water. “Am I drunk and hallucinating again,” Gabriel muttered In a different place, Thomas, who is Gabriel's uncle, is seen busy with his work as an archaeologist. The museum where he works is also currently having a lot of visitors and he continues to check all the documents and findings of his colleagues to be displayed in the museum. Until one day there was a man who kept looking at a painting in the museum and he stared at it for a long time. The person looked like an art critic and continued to be in front of the painting which made the museum staff question the person. "Excuse me sir," said the museum staff "Yes?" "Do you like the painting?" "Of course it's very interesting. Is this for sale?” "Oh, of course not." "I'm just kidding." The museum staff kept talking to the person until finally the person left and saw the others. Inside the museum, which was quite crowded, it turned out that Gabriel was taking a leisurely stroll through the place. Not long after that his uncle came up to Gabriel and told him to come to his room. Gabriel obediently went with his uncle there and right inside his study Gabriel saw a pile of papers on his uncle's desk and instantly felt sick. So much so that it took 1000 hours to complete. Gabriel then sat on a chair in the room and looked around. "Did uncle do all that alone?" Gabriel asked curiously to Thomas "Right. this is all my work and only i can do it. Do you want to help?” "No. Didn't uncle himself say it could only be done by one uncle." "Hahaha it's you." "Uh wait, what is this?" said Gabriel while looking at a book written in ancient languages and he didn't understand what it meant. "That's the ancient Aryan text." "What?" "You're hearing it for the first time. Do you know the story of a holy woman who sacrificed her life to stop the Holy Grail war?” "Not at all. is it real?” "Are you curious?" "Oh, it's normal." "You really haven't changed." "How should it be? Oh yes, why is this ancient book with uncle? Shouldn't this be in a temple or something?” "I just happened to find it while exploring so I brought it with me." "Does it hold a curse?" "Does not seem. If that's the case then shouldn't I be here." "Good grief." When the two of them were busy chatting, suddenly Thomas was called by someone who was none other than his fellow archaeologist too. The man looked ageless and was almost fooled into thinking he was the same age as Gabriel's uncle. The man came with his two bodyguards if seen from any way like he was not a random person and again the way he spoke was like that person was a king. "Hello Thomas. How are you? It's been a long time. And who is this again?” said that person to Gabriel and Thomas "I'm of course fine. Oh this introduces my nephew Gabriel," Thomas said to the person politely. "Gabriel." "John Marion." "What brought you all the way here?" Thomas said to John casually. "There's something I want to say. At the same time deliberately visited here.” "What do you want to say?" "I think we should talk alone." "Okay I'll excuse myself," Gabriel said as he left the two of them there as well as his bodyguards who left with Gabriel from the room. “This sounds so serious. You knew they were coming?" "Looks like you don't need to ask and you already guessed it." "Be careful. It will be different from before.” "It's been 100 years you know what to do?" "Not sure. However, if it is necessary there is no other way.” "Justify. So it's about time it started moving." "What do I need to do?" "No. Now just have to wait." "Oh yes, one more. about your museum business. Seems to be running smoothly. You're great." “All of this wouldn't have happened without your and the others' help.” "I guess that's all I wanted to say." "Yes, no problem. Please. You don't really like wine," said Thomas, handing a glass of wine to John. "Of course. This is the best." Out there Gabriel was looking at all the objects in this museum. Everything looks awesome moreover it's a national treasure and everyone comes here just to see it. The museum staff is busy with visitors. Gabriel continued to watch them and before finally he left because he remembered something. Now that he was in front of the antique shop he had previously visited, it was closed so Gabriel had to return disappointed. His curiosity grew and he finally came to a library where Seraphine worked. By chance they met and of course greeted each other. "Oh Sera. Do you work here?” Gabriel said to Seraphine. "Yes. I work here. Is there anything you need?” "There is. But not sure about that.” "Eh? Why? What book are you looking for? Maybe I can help." "That's not necessary. I'll find it myself. Sorry." "Okay. Hope you find it." 'Is it here?' Gabriel thought It wasn't long before he searched the library for a book similar to what he had seen earlier in an antique shop. He thought the two had an interest in each other so he decided to look for him here. After spending 30 minutes looking for the book Gabriel still couldn't find it and he immediately felt tired as soon as he sat down on the chair there. Seeing the huge pile of books made him dizzy in the blink of an eye. This slacker never changes and always makes him feel as if he is suffering from a lot of activities. Not only that, Gabriel also remembered that where he had a strange dream and wanted to find out if it had anything to do with dream interpretation. Although previously he searched through the internet and did not find anything. "Oh damn. Why are you so tired," Gabriel grumbled "Have you found it?" "Eh? Not yet." "What's the title anyway?" "Dream interpretation. Does it exist?” "Wait a minute, I'll look for it." "It doesn't matter if you don't find it. It's just for fun." "There is. It's on the shelf over there." "Eh? Is that true?" "This is it," said Sera while showing the book to Gabriel with a happy smile. 'Wait a minute. I've been looking there before. How could I not find it,' Gabriel muttered to himself. "Please. Sorry, I want to know exactly what dream do you want to know what it means?” "That's complicated." "I see. I'll excuse myself first." "Oh yes." 'Is there anything here? If there isn't that's too much,' Gabriel thought Gabriel immediately read the dream interpretation book. Page after page he passed and until now he had read half of the book but the result was nothing because his vision was not in the book and instantly annoyed him. Then Gabriel put the book back down and he was about to leave the library. Seeing what Sera was doing he felt that it seemed like Sera was working too hard and that's why Gabriel invited her to eat together during breaks. "Hey. You haven't rested since. How about eating together? You want?" Gabriel asked with a straight face to Sera. "Okay. I'll come with you," said Sera "But I will determine the place you know." "Yes, no problem." Now the two of them had arrived at a pasta restaurant. It's not too crowded there and the menu at this place is all pasta. It didn't take long for Gabriel to order the most popular menu here. Meanwhile, Sera only ordered creamy pasta. While waiting for the order to arrive, the two of them chatted about one thing. "Are you majoring in sculpture? Why are you interested in working in the city library?” Gabriel asked Seraphine "That's because that's the only place that had a vacancy when I was looking for a job." 'Wow he's telling the truth,' Gabriel thought

Creativity that sharpens clarity is genius.” I put this first because it's the most important tip you can take from this list. If you do nothing more than write clearly, you're going to be in the top 10% of all writers. Don't try to sound impressive, just try to be clear.

The writing is actually good, unlike most of the novel in this app it has great grammar, not my type of book since it's a crime genre but i recommend it to those who likes that type of book.
