16 Chapter 16
I started to look around the library with observation for skill books or actual books that require manual learning.
[Magical Cooking - By Hugo Long
The book is made of birch paper with a hard leather back cover:
Atomic Composition:
...]
[Building Foundations - By Zac Hahn
...]
[...]
Most of the books in the library were, well diverse because, it's a library...
If I recalled the libraries that exist in real life organize books through the Dewey Decimal System. So how are the books organized in this world? Since obviously fighting books and magic well, should have a different classification right?
Even if this game did use the Dewey Decimal System, what's the point since I don't even remember the correct order of the books. I started looking around at the books to see if I could get any hints on how the books were organized.
Although the books are labeled by name and sections, I still have no idea what which section means. It also doesn't help that each section of the library still has a varied selection of books.
Instead of wasting my time figuring something out, I just walked to section M, since there are huge signs which point to each section.
The signs are arranged in a circle in the middle is a huge study area with hundreds of desks and chairs surrounded by thousands upon thousands of books.
I have to say this library is huge, I can't even see the end of section M.
It would make my search very easy if each lettered section represented how the books were organized. As in, a book starting with M would go into section M.
Well, I don't think life wants me to have it easy since the first book I saw in Section M was Glass making by Kai Doyle. In which nothing in the label corresponded to the letter M.
Unless?
Glass has 5 letters and his name is 8 letters long, while M is the 13th letter of the alphabet.
I quickly went to another book to check if my theory is correct. Psychological Manipulation for beginners by Felix Rowland.
"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6...13, 14, Shit."
I don't think my theory is correct.
The question is though, what is the correlation between Psychological Manipulation and Glass Making?
I picked up another book, 10 Worse Fighting Styles Ever Created by, Matthew Malone.
???
I'm so confused wtf is the correlation or is the library this messy and none of these books are in the right place. Or, is there some secret organizing system among the people of this world that I have yet to find out about.
"Welp, back to observing every single book in this library."
"Nope, nope, nope, tf is 100 ways to satisfy women in the bed, maybe just a peek...YEP NOPE NOPE, onwards!"
This is like finding a needle in a haystack, in the middle of this ocean of books, I'll find a good book that will be helpful.
The only thing is why was my luck so good in the beginning where I was able to receive a legendary skill and a magic skill.
Did Margret rig it, or did I use up all my luck?
"Hmmmmm, very sus (plot armor?)"
In the remaining 8 or so hours in this game, I've yet to find a good book that would help me in the game.
[Players, the game will be closing for maintenance in 30 seconds, please find a safe spot of log out...]
The same feminine monotone voice that had explained the game to billions of beginners.
I didn't have to do anything, besides waiting until the game closed, I just kept on using my observation skill. During these 8 hours, my observation had leveled up to level 10.
[Enhanced Observation - Epic]
Gives Atomic Make-Up of object and description.
Gives Weaknesses and Strengths of Monsters that have a lower level than the User or Higher level than the User, increases by 1 every level after 5, Currently, user can find monsters details up to 5 levels above the user.
Level 10/???
Just as I was observing through the library, I had finally caught something interesting.
[Magic Flow Through the Human Body by, -]
My vision instantly blacked out.
"Looks like I'm back in real-life."
I took off the googles and check my clock.
"Exactly 12 hours, not a second more not a second less."
"At least, I won't oversleep for online schooling anymore, since I'm waking up half an hour before my AM class, Bio and Informatics start."
The thing that I was most curious about was the new elements that I had learned in-game. Could I transmute them in real life?
In my head, as I was about to transmute something, I noticed a new tab in my head.
[Elements Learned]
Basic Objects- 9658/???
Foreign Objects- 32/???
I mentally clicked on Foreign Objects, as the basic elements are most likely objects made up of different elements found on Earth.
Foreign Objects:
Black Eleven Steel
Holy Mithril
Eleven Wood
Ice Troll Hide
Black Pressed Stone
...
Most of the Foreign Objects had minimal use and would not help me very much besides the Black Eleven Steel, Holy Mithril, and Eleven Wood. That I had found out about from the Katana and the Beginners Armor.
However, the question is, how can I get the stats of the Katana from in-game?
I quickly transmuted the Katana from in-game into real life, using a few hundred pounds of gold that I had transmuted in my free time. This would make it so when I'm transmuting large or dense objects, I wouldn't accidentally kill myself by creating a vacuum.
I've also learned to always keep my window open.
As soon as I mentally sent the signal my hand glowed purple and the hundreds of pounds of gold disappeared and my room which was filled with air is completely devoid of air.
I felt my skin start to burn due to the human body being put into a vacuum. My insides were also freezing and I felt the blood flowing through my body begin to backtrack.
Although the process of transmuting only took roughly 5 seconds, If I was subjected to that pressure for a couple more seconds I would die.
I felt a huge gust of wind as the air flowed back in my room.
In my hands was a shiny black katana with a glowing white tang on the handle.
However, I had no time to admire the katana I had transmuted as I started coughing up blood, due to the blood in my body backtracking.
I was also sure I sustained some internal injuries due to their being a lack of pressure my frail organs definitely didn't come out unscathed.
"Shiiiiii-"
I held back my curse as I realized it was still 8 in the morning and I would definitely receive a beating if I cursed out loud. I looked all over my arms and noticed burns all over them.
I begin to transmute the skin and muscles on my arm back to normal. Since I had learned the atomic composition of simple proteins and skin cells, which definitely helped the process in order to regenerate my surface skin cells.
As for my internal injuries, I'll have to let them naturally heal, since I have yet to learn in-depth about the human body and don't know what my organs are made out of.
If I mess up transmuting my skin, it would be ok as it wouldn't be fatal. However, if I messed up while transmuting my internal organs, well then shit, I guess I'm not alive anymore.
