Arthur was an antique book collector who had spent years searching for a book that would change his life. It was the Book of Lost Bodies that was said to guarantee immortality. One day, he was summoned by the nephew of a recently deceased count. He wanted to dispose of the Count's library, so he called Arthur to catalogue the books. So, while rummaging through the library, he found the coveted book, recognising it by the engravings on the cover. He gently picked it up and placed it on the table. He slowly turned the pages. There were photos of people, each with a Latin caption underneath. A girl's face caught his attention, and, as if hypnotised, he read the caption: Anima Corpus Liberet.He was immediately enveloped in a mist. When it cleared, he had taken on the appearance of the girl in the photo. It was surprising enough, but what was even more surprising was that there was now a photo of him instead of the girl. He therefore imagined that the same thing had happened to the girl and that she had found herself living in one of the bodies depicted in the book. She may have become the count himself. With this newfound awareness, he returned the book to its place and headed towards the villa's exit. Although he knew that he would now have to live his life under a different identity, he wasn't worried. His body would have been kept safe and sound in the book while it waited for someone else to take possession of it.
