Titan

Ash emerged from the Room of Sub-Reality and found himself back in Earl Zebra's territory.

"What's happening?" Ash muttered to himself as he observed a large number of troops marching and patrolling the area.

"It seems the news of Earl Zebra's death has been leaked," Ash mumbled to himself as he innocently walked towards the carriage area and boarded a carriage bound for Titan.

he boarded the carriage as it is the fastest means of travel without any trouble given the current circumstances.

'I wanted to use Phantom Steed, but if I had used it, I'm pretty sure those knights would have attacked,' Ash thought to himself as he calmly traveled in the carriage for 10 days before arriving at Titan, the capital of the Saharan Empire.

Stretching his body, Ash disembarked from the carriage and looked at the magnificent city in front of him. "As expected of the capital of the Saharan Empire," he remarked, impressed by the grandeur of Titan.

Ash then opens the community forum to check about the best places of Titan" So, it's la dero the best restaurant, Imperial palace which is off limit to no-Sharan associated players and lastly the hunting ground Mirror mountains which is one of the hardest leveling ground"

"hmm, it spawns monster based on player reflections huh" Ash mumbled and then decided to go to La dero first to squander the money he stole from Earl Zebra.

****

Arriving at the restaurant Ash nodded "not bad" And then only after having a hearty meal he went to Library.

'I hope the Int increasing based on knowledge still applies here' Ash mumbled as he looked at massive dome shaped building.

"Dome of knowledge" this was the name of Saharan Royal Library.

Ash then started walking towards the library, 

The players who were strolling near the Dome looked at Ash as if they are looking at an Idiot.

"he will be kicked out"

"Shh, lest us enjoy the show" 

As Ash reached the entrance the guards looked at him and let him enter.

"huh? what was that?" 

"It seems today its opened" A player muttere and walked swaggerly to library and the Guards looked at him and kicked him out.

"It's Unfair why let him enter?" The player yelled.

The other players who were hoping to enter inside shouted too.

"SILENCE"

The guard said and everyone fell silent.

"he is a scholar, that's why he was allowed to enter" The Guard said and everyone started discussing.

"Scholar, is it a hidden class?" 

"maybe?" 

While Ash was able to get inside due to sub skill attached to reading maniac : Scholars Aura

A passive Aura that allows him entry on any Library of West Continent.

"he got inside" Yoon nahee who was looking at him specifically muttered.

'Please, don't receive the Undefeated King Class quest'

'Or we will be sued for bug'

Yoon nahee prayed heavily but after a month, "there is no God in this damm world" she lifelessly watched as Ash received the Undefeated King Class Quest.

While Lim Cheolho who was also looking at his Miracles players asked Morpheus " What are his chances of Obtaining Sword Saint Class?"

[he is most likely to receive it, given his fighting Instinct]

Morpheus answered and Yoon Nahee felt soul leave her body once more, 'Just give him all the legendary classes'

"its normal after all he has raised his Swordsmanship to Advance level 1, without any Sword Skill after all"

An Era can have many Legends, Satisfy classes are not unique unless a player made one by his own achievements.

 Same is the case for Sword Saint class, Muller Successor the previous generation Sword Saint is only one class but not Sword Saint, Sword Saint is one own Achievement after all.

"Show me the list of candidates for Sword Saint Class" Lim Cheolho said.

[They are Kraugel and Ash only]

[Hurent and Haster were candidates too but Haster became disciple of Red Sage walking away from the path of Sword Saint while Hurent became Aura Master and abandoned Sword Saint Class]

"I see, I wonder which of them will become Muller Successor or will both of them carve their own path" Lim Cheolho thought as he looked at Ash and Kraugel.

The most perfect humans, As a player, they are perfect without lacking anything. their perfection could be described as transcendental. That is why even the supercomputer Morpheus could not predict all their actions

While in Hurent case is his unpredictability and Haster case is Adaptability in any situation.

"and lastly Grid, the accidental Legend, I Wonder if you are someone great too" Lim Cheolho watched as his world has many protagonist, he wants to watch their adventure to his heart content.

***

At the time when Ash first entered Titan Library.

He walked tt receptionist, she was a pretty girl with innocent face but succubus body.

"Hello, are you new here?" She asked and Ash filing all the questions got Library permit.

"now, where should I start from" Ash mumbled and then walked to Magic section and read a lot of books about magic.

After 10 days, "strange I only gained 10 points in INT" Ash mumbled as the stat gain is less then he thought.

Shaking his head he walked to Swordsmanship section and read all the available books.

after 10 days, INT gain +7

next was Hand to hand combat

After 5 days, INT gain +5

next was Empire History

After 6 days, INT gain +11.

"arghh this is taking too much time" Ash mumbled and then decided to exit the library as he was going to place the Empire History book in his place, he looked at the glowing book at a corner.

"hmm, it's my first time seeing a glowing book" Ash experimented a bit and when he took a few step back he saw glow subsiding, curious he stepped forward and the book glowed again.

"so, it's depends on range" Ash nodded and then picked the glowing book and started reading it.

It described about a man name Madra, the greatest enemy Empire once faced but eventually by bravery Empire won and hanged Madra head at Titan gate for one year.

Ash closed the book as another notification popped up.

[the Truth]

[Your Knowledge says what's written in Empire History book is false, go to Lubana Kingdom Library and learn the truth

Quest reward : ???

Quest failure : ???]

"I guess I know the reason why it popped up" It was in the martial arts book he read few days prior, in that the man who wrote the book says Empire defeated Madra but deceit while in Empire history book it was act of bravery.

"Conflicting words created this Quest" Ash mumbled and decided to go to Lubana Kingdom first.

Coming out of Library, he summoned Phantom Steed and mounted it and went to Lubana Kingdom, it was 5 days travel, with Phantom Steed speed, if Ash have taken a carriage then the time taken would have been 20 days.

Arriving at Lubana Kingdom, Ash looked at the beautiful landscape, Lubana kingdom seemed like a kingdom ruled by kind king, given the state of Npcs.

Ash then walked to Lubana kingdom and directly went to History section entering it, but after days of searching he didn't found out how Madra died.

"is it removed?" Ash thought and decided to build up affinity with librarian, it was to prevent him from sending to jail even if he ask something sensitive like Madra Death cause.

After all Madra was a respected figure in Lubana, Madra was the 9th king of Lubana Kingdom, which he defended safely until his death as a strategist who mastered martial arts. He was the only king among the nine former Legends and after his legend, the Lubana Kingdom was unbeatable during his rule. The Saharan Empire in its prime could not occupy it.

In front of Madra's valor, the empire's soldiers who accumulated experience in the process of winning over the continent became cowards. In front of Madra's tactics, the empire's strategists who turned the world upside down with mysterious tactics were nothing. And the empire's knights that caused the empire to dominate with strong force couldn't endure Madra's strength.

Overwhelming the empire alone, Madra was the ultimate warrior before he was a genius strategist. Madra had the unique ability of 'perfect' status resistance among all the legends. After learning a variety of swordsmanship, he had many active combat skills. In a stage where pure combat is prioritized for a one on one match without variables and shallow tricks, he was the best who has never experienced defeat once. In the first place, he could achieve a perfect victory on any terrain.

Despite being caged to small territory of Lubana Kingdom he was as strong as Muller who build up countless achievement after defeating Demons and saving humanity many times.

The amount of info. Ash learned was overwhelming, A Undefeated King, a Ultimate Warrior, genius Strategist, it seemed Madara talent was limitless, So, how he died?
