## Story

### Turbulent Life

In the eyes of young Maldek, the world was full of fun.

The life that grew wherever Maldek's feet touched was all new. A bird it has never seen before, a flower it has never seen before, a person it has never seen before, even a dragon he has never seen before... Maldek observed all lifeforms with curiosity.

It had infinite curiosity about a new life forms, the Book of Absorption was an ideal book for Maldek, who had become an adult.
It records its favorite lifeforms there! Maldek felt that the Book of Absorption given to it was destiny. It's a book that it can remember later after absorbing countless spirits... what an interesting book.

Feeling that it was its destiny to use the Book of Absorption, Maldek began traveling to many places. It absorbed various spirits through its travels. Every time a blank page in the Book of Absorption was filled, Stra found Maldek and yelled at it to stop. But Maldek couldn't figure out why it had to quit such a fun and rewarding job.

Maldek traveled to many regions avoiding Stra. On the way from the continent of Arca, the land of pirates, to the continent of Rokus, where the Magic Engineering Association is located... Maldek encountered none other than Slosi.

"You are breaking the order of life! Do not use the Book of Absorption anymore."

"But it's fun!"

Maldek hurriedly ran away from Slosi’s fury. It was when Maldek fled to Alitia, but it was certain that it would not be a smooth journey.

## Evolution

### Egg

It is an egg waiting for spirits to be absorbed. The jewel in the center of the egg glows red as a lifeform passes, which is said to select spirits to absorb. For this reason, when storing Maldek's egg, the jewel is covered with a black cloth to prevent indiscriminate absorption. The feathers on top of the jewel often move, which is known to move according to Maldek's mood.

### Hatch

When it hatches, it spends time looking at the Book of Absorption. It has a lot of curiosity, so it observes lifeforms and often moves around to various areas rather than staying in one place. It often spends time learning about the Book of Absorption and finding out what it can absorb or what it cannot absorb. If it is with Stra, it can also look at the Book of Absorption and the Book of Ejection.

### Hatchling

Unlike hatches, hatchlings can use the Book of Absorption. Some spirits or objects of interest are stored in the Book of Absorption. However, because it absorb things so indiscriminately, some of the spirits trapped in the Book of Absorption complain of injustice. The talk of spirits resenting Maldek is heard from Stra's ears, making it Stra's trouble.

### Adult

Humans, dragons, animals, plants, objects, whatever interests it, it wants to keep in the Book of Absorption. Because of this, Maldek disapproves of Stra's releasing what it absorbed. The sound of spirits trapped in the Book of Absorption can only be heard by Stra who has the Book of Ejection. According to Maldek, no matter how many times it opens the Book of Absorption, it cannot hear the spirit’s stories.

When it finds something it wants to absorb, it quickly draws or writes in the Book of Absorption using the pen on its tail. Anything written in the Book of Absorption cannot be blocked by any force, and objects or spirits trapped in the Book of Absorption cannot escape unless they are released from the Book of Ejection.
