Bracelet.

"Stop sincerely thanking me. Carefully take this poison powder and spill where you will undoubtedly find the continuous track of rats. Don't try killing them. It is useless."

Einar took poison and left the senior librarian. It was his initial interaction with magic. Everything was like in a dream.

While walking towards bookshelves Einar observed library and understood how huge is it. There were more than ten floors. The magnificent library was part of Magic Academy. The system randomly sends him the capital of the human empire "Nalis." Magicians were elites of society. It was not surprising that for their successful growth empire build an enormous library in Nalis.

Einar wisely decided to start on the first floor. He again used blood magic runic symbol and start walking between bookshelves. After ten minutes he found first traces of rats. Rest of the work was done in three hours.

Quest panel.

Dispersing the poison.

Find rats and drop poison. 25/25. Completed. Talk with the keeper of Wisdom to get rewards.

While doing the quest Einar found interesting books. One of them was elementary magic for beginners. He thought it would be interesting to read it. He walked backed to NPC.

"Master Ulnar, l finished. What else l can do for you?"

"Take this librarian set.L hope it will be helpful for you. Unfortunately, you are too weak and stupid for doing my quest. L will give a special quest when your wisdom becomes satisfactory."

Einar wear librarian set parts and checked his status.

***

Reading speed and intelligent comprehension increased by 35%

***

"Great. Let's read my first book."

After an hour of reading valuable material about mysterious working mechanisms off magic, a notification appeared in the top middle of his vision.

***

Wizdom increased by 1. Total wisdom points 2. Wisdom point increase mana by 5 Mp.

Intellect increased by 1.Total intellect points 6. (2 points obtained by wearing set) Intellect point increase mana by 2 Mp.

***

Wizdom points show your comprehension in magic and also passively affect regenerating mana points, your spells damage, your mana pool.

Intellect points show the capability of your brain manipulate with magical structures and mana, your spell casting speed.

"Fantastic.L read only one hour but got 2 points."

Einar continue reading elementary magic for beginners. The information was very useful. He found that with enough knowledge every wizard can modify runes which Master magicians teach them. For example, by changing the shape of the runic symbol or adding another one, it can possibly expand the search radius of detecting life or make the radar. Benefits from studying all of this were unimaginable. It is true that by leveling up and spending level points you can learn difficult rune compositions and become a powerful magician. But in reality, you will be like a monkey with a gun in his hand. Without knowledge, you can not change it nor improve. Secondly, he found that with enough hard work it's possible to create new spells by yourself and spend level points for other things.

Another four hours passed.

***

Wisdom increased by 1. Total wisdom points 3.

***

Ohhh.For obtaining the first wisdom point l spent one hour. Next point cost me four hours of my time. It is not surprising that nobody stays here more than five-six hours. Let's calculate.L spent 3 hours reading only one book. So for reading 200 000 books, l need to spend 600 000 hours? Fuck you useless system. In reality, it is 120 000 hours or around 14 years. Oh my god.

Timeline flows in the game five times slower than in reality.

The mission is impossible. Maybe l can finish it if get items like my librarian set which will increase reading speed. Let's continue reading.

At the same time, somewhere else.

In the dark cabinet middle-age man was listening to classical music. The man has a fit body, and aura of power surround him. Most notable was his eyes. Cold eyes of the assassin or predator whose actions show that nothing can stop to catch his prey. He stood up and moves toward virtcapsule. Suddenly he stopped and call AI.

"System001 connect me with Mr.Saltis.Turn his hologram near the left window."

With a special gesture, he turned-off music. Without rush opened the bottle of wine, poured in a glass and start drinking.

"Initializing connection with Mr.Saltis in 3,2,1...."

Moments later hologram of Saltis appeared not far away from him.

"Good evening, sir. How can I help you?"

"Saltis. Did you track the bank account that led the trail to our old friend?"

"Yes, sir. As we suspected there was a capsule in a bank cell. Missing from our warehouse 20 years ago."

"What you did to get rid of the potential source of the problem?"

"Sir, I thought the problem should be removed as imperceptibly as possible."

"What did you do? Did you use the biological weapon Nano65?"

"Yes, sir. The boy is 18 years old. An ordinary kid."

"What is the guarantee that the guy will be removed?"

"Sir, when testing over the objects of the experiment, the mortality rate was 88%. The other test subjects fell into a coma and became a vegetable for the rest of their life."

"Fine.Liquidation under your responsibility."

"Yes, sir."

While all the other player's genocide rabbits and rats, our hero calmly read books. Sometimes other players distracted him. The point was in the damn librarian robe. All players knew about the fact that by reading the books you can increase wisdom. Some of them knew about another secret. Sometimes the library NPCs could give interesting quests for treasure hunting. Since Einar's clothes were the same as those of librarians, they were often confused with it. Einar was so annoyed that he just started ignoring everyone. He changed place to a remote area in the library, where nobody bothers with him. After 18 hours reading in the library his stats increased. Also, mana regeneration becomes 1 Mp/min. Each wisdom point increased regeneration by 0,2 Mp/min.

Einar didn't pay attention to everything all around him and continue reading.At the same time, special nanorobots began operating inside the virtcapsule. Nano65 was the newest development in the field of biological weapons. To create this type of nanorobots, special retroviruses were used. Since the viruses easily passed cell membranes in the body, they invade a nervous system in 5 minutes. Nanobots first began to destroy the spinal cord and then moved to the main brain. Einar suddenly felt a sharp pain in the neck. Then everything began developing rapidly. Hellish pain came first. As if the needle was stuck under the nail. Then Einar felt like he was losing his sight and the library became blurred. Viruses destroyed connections between neurons. This was the end.

Only a miracle could save Einar. And it happened. Inside the capsule on the body of Einar, the bracelet first lit up dimly. Then a bright green light enveloped it completely. The nanobots were destroyed. But the state of the brain was heavy. The bracelet gifted by the grandmother not only saved Einar's life but also started to restore the body and brain cells. Unfortunately, all the energy was wasted on the destruction of viruses.
