Book of the Dead (Tome)

Codex of the Dead is a book from Ainz Ooal Gown's personal collection.

Description
Written in Japanese, there was a chapter from the Book of the Dead concerning the transformation of the dead into souls; specifically, the section about differentiation. The book itself is illegible to New World inhabitants like Fluder, requiring a magic item or a translation spell to decipher it.

Appearance
The Book of the Dead is a fairly ancient volume, which gave off a musty smell. Surprisingly enough, the book itself was very sturdy, with no trace of being worm-eaten.

Abilities
According to Ainz, the book was pretty much an occult volume or a setting book for a fantasy world.

Trivia

 * Despite being able to read the book, Ainz admitted to himself that he does not understand what is written in it. He also thought that his friend Tabula Smaragdina is able to understand and explain the content of the book to Fluder if he was with them in the New World.
 * This is not to be confused with the Book of the Dead, which is a Racial Change Item, as the author reported that the two items are distinct.
