It was raining that day.
"ahh, it's raining, should have brought my umbrella with me."
'Ray Yamato' looks around to see where he could take refuge until the rain stopped.
"ahh, an old 'Bookstore' good, I'll spend some time there till the rain passes, maybe get something to read while I am at it,"
Ray quickly runs and enters inside the Bookstore.
"Did you forget to bring your umbrella Youngman?" asks the Store Owner.
"Yes mam, says Ray,"
The Store Owner looks like an old lady in her late 60'ts.
Ray asks,
"I was wondering if I could wait till the rain dies down."
"Sure, why not? you can wait as long as you like, if you are bored, you can even browse the books we have in store, if you like any books make sure you buy them, says the old lady smiling,"
Ray obliges and looks around the store.
"Man, this store is old!"
"The stores got new as well as old books, Ray says to himself."
While Ray looks around, he accidentally bumps into one of the big book stands,
"Oh, no, no, no, thud.."
The big book stand shook, some of the books fell on Ray's head as he fell.
"ahh, that hurt,"
hearing the sound of books falling, the old lady came to see what had happened.
"my that's going to leave a mark on your head, says the old lady,"
the old lady started to pick the books up, feeling embarrassing Ray decides to lend her a helping hand,
"my apologies, let me get some of the books,"
Ray quickly picks up the fallen books, set them up one by one at their proper place.
As a token of his apology, Ray randomly decides to pick one of the fallen books,
"I'll buy this Book, said Ray."
Soon after that, the rain stops, and Ray went back to his house.
After getting back home, Ray decides to read the book that he bought from the old lady's book store,
"Well, I have nothing to do right now, maybe I'll read the book that I bought."
"Open sesame."
Ray says the phrase, opens the book, and suddenly,
"What's up with this bright light all of a sudden."
The light surrounds the whole room, and within a moment, Ray passes out only to wake up alongside a riverbank.
"What's this place?"
"Where am I?"
"Yeah, the book?"
Ray finds the book beside him. he opens it again only to find it empty.
"What the."
"The book."
"It's empty! "
"Man, that old hag ripped me off."
"I paid her' 2000 yen' for a book, which is empty from front to back."
"And not to mention somehow I got myself in this mess."
"Man, I better find a way back soon, or else my Mom will have me dead for sure,"
Right when Ray was having his inner monolog, something appeared above him.
"Man, it's huge!"
"Darn it, why did my first extraterrestrial encounter have to be a freaking Dragon of all things."
"Oh, it's coming right towards me!"
"I guess now I should run."
With that, Ray started screaming like a child and ran like nobody's business. Ray ran so fast that he would have put 'Usain Bolt' to shame.
"Man, I bet the old hag is laughing off her Time,"
Alas, running was not going to make any difference as a freaking Dragon was chasing after him.
Soon the Beast caught up to him.
"I guess I am going to die now!"
"What should I do!"
"What should I do!"
Thinking that this would be his last moment, as a last-ditch effort Ray frustratingly curses the book and throws it towards the behemoth.
"Darn you, you stupid book, why did you bring me to hear of all places."
"Take this, you stupid Dragon,"
Throwing the book angers The Dragon even more. At that very moment, the pages of the book started flipping violently, bright light sprung out of the pages.
The Beast, which earlier was chasing after Ray's life, suddenly stops chasing Ray.
Ray notices that the Dragon had stopped chasing him, so he stops.
"Tired are you now ha ha ha,"
"Serves you right for chasing after me,"
Ray starts mocking the Dagon only to realize that the book was the reason why the Dragon had stopped moving.
"Hey, wait, that light earlier?"
"So it was the book that stopped it hm,"
"ha ha ha, see you stupid Dragon that's my book for you,"
Soon the Dragon started getting pulled back inside the book,
"Wow, what! is the book eating the Dragon?"
"At least the Dragon won't cause me any trouble."
"The book swallowed the Dragon whole in no time at all."
"Well, if an empty book worth 2000 yen could kill a Dragon, then I must say those 2000 yen were well spent indeed."
"But I wonder, can you still call it a book?"
