Chapter 1

7:18 AM

-My name is Dipper, Dipper Pines I'm 19 years old, I live in Oregon and I'm going to a university here, I'm doing a major in physics and a minor in paranormal science and parapsychology (because they don't offer a major in that). I will be posting the results of the paranormal research I've done so far on this page and everything else to come. Stay tuned-

Dipper closed his laptop as he posted his introduction to his new blog.

"Hey bro-bro what are you doing?" Mabel asked as she jumped in from behind and made his heart almost jump out.

"Mabel! Holy shit don't do that again!" He yelled.

"Sorry" She laughed "I just wanted to see what you were doing.

"Only working on the blog I told you about" He answered.

"This is our first day of college and you want to start that research already?" She asked annoyed.

"I only chose this University because of the wide variation of paranormal books they have in their library and of course because most universities don't offer a degree in paranormal science... SO of course I'm starting research today" He said full of motivation.

"How about you try making friends! Meeting new people, in high school you were such a geek try being cool now! This is our chance!" Mabel pulled on her brother trying to get him off his chair.

"Mabel the campus is so big that we will probably only see each other at home, there is no need to worry about me being embarrassing around your new friends" Dipper uttered as he stood up.

"It's not about that! You should have fun as well! Especially now that we have our own apartment" She exclaimed as she smiled.

"I will try... " Dipper murmured.

"Thank you Dipper" She smiled and hugged her brother before she went to the bath.

The first day of Uni began at 9 so they still had plenty of time to get done, Mabel of course got her best clothes out she really wanted to make a good impression on the first day and on the other side... Dipper was wearing his most casual clothes, an orange reddish shirt with jeans and a dark blue hoodie. Their Campus was only about 15 minutes away from their apartment on foot, it wasn't big but it beat staying at a college dorm by far. As they arrived the twins separated and decided to meet for lunch as their lectures were not on the same side of the campus because Mabel had her major in art which she was well known for and Dipper in physics. The day passed and they were shown around the campus, of course some sophomores were so nice to show them around, the first day passed as it should, as midday came the twins met back again for lunch. They sat down on a patch of grass under a tree which was a thing they always wanted to do, Mabel packed out their self-made sandwiches and gave the half to Dipper.

"So how was it?" Dipper asked.

"It was great, I already met new people and everyone is so nice, I will go to a coffee shop near campus after my lectures with some girls its great!" She said that without even stopping for air.

"Good to hear that" He said as he kept eating.

"What about you? Did you talk to somebody?" Mabel asked curiously.

"I did, but there weren't any interesting people" he said nonchalantly.

"Aw come on Dipper you have been so bummed for ages... Try having fun this time" She begged.

"I will try... " He said without meaning it.

As their break ended they went separate ways again and decided to meet at home since Mabel would go grab some coffee with some girls later, the rest of the day passed slowly until finally the lectures were over and Dipper could go see the famous library he had put so much faith into.

4 P.M

It took him a while to find it but in the end he made it he was standing in front of the door with the books that might help him prove everything he had researched until now. He entered and there were barely any students probably since the library was about to close, but he needed to see the books to be at peace. Dipper headed to the empty librarian desk and waited for someone to come.

"Can I help you?" A voice came from behind.

"Yes… I'm looking for…" Dipper said as he turned around to the source of the voice, it came from a young slender man in his mid-twenties he was almost one head taller than Dipper, he had tanned skin, brown eyes and long blonde hair with black ends which was tied and fell over his shoulder, he was carrying a stack of books. Dipper was awaiting an old hag so the view of a young man surprised him and left him speechless, so he deciphered he was probably an assistant.

"For?" The young man tilted his head awaiting for Dippers response.

"Yes sorry… the paranormal science books…" He uttered as he regained his voice.

"Sure this away" The young man smiled and proceeded to show Dipper the way, who gladly followed, the paranormal section was really vast there were probably all books written about that subject in those shelves, Dipper smiled and thanked the young man who left. Dipper went through the books and pulled a few out for himself to borrow after a while of searching the vast variation of books he decided to ask the young man as there were a few he couldn't find. The blonde man was sitting at the main desk looking bored as if he was waiting for the time to pass.

"Excuse me… " Dipper cleared his throat "I'm still looking for some books but I couldn't find them"

"Those would be?" The man asked.

"Ancient demonic/magic manuscripts and grimoires… like the The Voynich Manuscript, The Munich Manual of Demonic Magic, Ars Almadel… and the forbidden books this library is well known for" Dipper inquired.

"Why would you need those?" The guy questioned.

"I've done research on my own about paranormal beings, happenings and I've read every book you can buy but… of course those are not enough…" Dipper lamented.

"Let me guess this is your first day and the sophomores didn't tell you a thing about this library…" The guy sighed. "There is a reason why those books are forbidden, you need a special permit to be able to access them which mostly only professors or special guests have" The guy asserted.

"Wait what?!" Dipper stuttered "And how do I get such a thing?"

"To get access to this library's 'forbidden archive' that's how we call it" He grinned "You need to get a recommendation from a professor which states that you have the knowledge required to even look at those books in this case any paranormal science professor, second and probably the most important you need to get permission from the owner of those books"

"Owner?" Dipper asked confused.

"The demonic and magic book collection and well actually pretty much everything in that section and anything that has to do with mysteries belongs to a private person who needs to give you permission to work with those books since they are his, he only lends them to this university and thus he can choose who is allowed to look at them" He concluded.

"What's the name of the owner? Can I contact him directly?" Dipper babbled.

The guy just sighed and started scribbling something on a piece of paper as he was done he handed it to Dipper.

"What is this?" Dipper asked as he looked at what seemed scribbles.

"Contact number and name of the owner, decipher that then you can contact him directly" The man smirked.

"Are you serious?!" Dipper yelled.

"A little quieter in here please" The guy said in a mocking voice "Those are the rules, the owner likes to play games and stay anonymous. If you can't decipher that thing then you are not worthy of those books" The guy leaned his face on his palms and grinned.

Dipper just smiled wryly and left pissed off the library.

He headed home and sat down immediately in front of his laptop trying to find information about who might be the owner of those books but without effort he sat down with a piece of paper and a pen and started trying to decipher the note the young man gave him.

It was already late as Mabel came home and saw Dipper working on his desk.

"Hey bro-bro got stuff to do already?" Mabel asked confused as she looked over Dippers shoulder.

"No… not exactly I need to decipher this freaking code…" He complained.

"Code?"

Dipper told Mabel what had happened, why he needed to do that and how the library assistant pissed him off.

"Awww come on" She said as she hugged him "Rest for today… you've been doing that for a while now haven't you?" She asked.

"Yes…" He murmured.

They ate dinner together and then headed to sleep, at least Mabel did, Dipper sat up once again to work on the code.
