"Bapulu..."
"Wait, don't recite it! That's a Secret-Realm Spell. Once you finish the whole incantation, you'll be swept into a secret realm, and there's no telling whether you'll live or die."
Lin Renmei unrolled the beast-hide scroll. The moment she saw the unfamiliar writing on it, she instinctively began sounding out the words.
But she had barely uttered three syllables when Nameless covered her mouth and spoke quickly.
"Secret-Realm Spells are also called Secret-Realm Hexes. They're said to come from the Dark Gate Dragon race.

"Why don't
