An hour later Tatsuya FINALLY finished bonding with the elves, and he was EXHAUSTED so he decided to leave the exploration of the manor and delegation of tasks for tomorrow. Waking up the next day, Tatsuya went and had breakfast while talking to Navi and getting to know her better. After breakfast, Tatsuya called Dosey for a tour of the manor. After a 2hour long tour, ending in the library. After looking at the size of the library, Tatsuya realized that it would take him years to read and understand all the contents of the library, and that's not considering the shelves of books from Merlin's vault. So, with a heavy heart, Tatsuya decided to use 4 of his power creation slots to make powers that would make the process of reading hundreds of thousands of books faster. After a couple of minutes of consideration, Tatsuya decided to make powers that are useful in almost any situation and he came up with, <Thought Partitioning>, < Superspeed>, <Summon>, and <Eidetic memory>. He made superspeed so he can read the books hundreds of times faster, eidetic memory so he could remember what he read, thought partitioning so he could think about and understand all of the things he read at once, and summoning so he could summon all of the books he wanted to read. After making his powers, for the very first time, Tatsuya said "status"

While looking over his stats Tatsuya noticed that some of his stats were lacking so he decided to set up a training regiment he would follow every day and he came up with... 6-6:30 am wake up and do daily hygiene, 6:35-7:30 am breakfast and chatting with Navi, 7:35 am -3 pm studying magic 3 pm -11:30 pm working out and 11:45 pm hygiene then sleep till 6 am.

This story is to help me cope with my state of mind. Im writing this for myself, no one else, so if you're gonna be a dick and not offer either constructive criticism or read my story before you rate it just leave I don't need to be hit with more unfounded negativity than I already have in my life. Now with that out of the way let me address what this fan fiction is:
He opened his eyes and looked around to find all he could see was an endless void of white that is until he looked in front of him to suddenly see an old man sitting in front of him
and thats where the story begins

[For walking 4 km, the reward isn't low. It is not the System's fault that you encountered so many difficulties]
'I guess so.' Darren replied dejectedly. Although it probably was the System's fault for everything happening, just walking 4 km shouldn't be hard. The question is, how much were copper coins even worth? For all he knew, they could be worthless. In response to that question, the System replied:
[1 Copper coin and 50 Stone coins are enough to stay a night in a decent inn. Food is generally around half a Copper coin for a meal.]
'Stone coin?'
[There are different types of coin. Each higher type is worth 100 of the previous type. The order is:
Wood coin -> Stone coin -> Copper coin -> Bronze coin -> Silver coin -> Gold coin -> Platinum coin -> Diamond coin -> Dragon coin]
'That seems a bit much. Can't they settle on 3-4 different types like everyone else?'
['Everyone else' has even more confusing systems. And they have so many different types because it is easier than referring to large sums of money in billions of coins, and small sums of money in 0.01s of a coin]
'Fine.' Darren decided to give up; as usual, it was no use arguing with the System.
'Any quests for me?' He asked sarcastically, not expecting for the System to have a quest for him (completely ignoring all he had learnt).
[Yes, I'll display it now]
.....
Quest: Obtaining knowledge
Description:
Knowledge is not power, but it is extremely useful nonetheless. Go to a library and read this list of books (attached)

Success condition: Having read all 10 books
Reward: System information storage space
Failure condition: Being banned from the library
Punishment: Death

Progress: 0/10 books read
.....
Darren wanted to cry. Why was being banned from a library enough to have the System kill him? There was probably a good reason, knowing the System, but it is still upsetting. With no apparent choice, if he wanted to get anywhere, he decided to look at the list of books.
.....
Booklist:
Basic magical symbols
Spells for idiots
The basics of magic
History for toddlers
A complete magical history
Elemental conjectures
Magical theorems
How to learn basic mana control
The rules of magic
.....
Darren couldn't tell if the System was picking those books just to be annoying or not. It was definitely patronising, but given that he had no idea how magic works, that may be justified. Of course, to read any of these books he had to go to a library.
'Any directions, System?'
[No, I am still not a SatNav]
He was pretty sure that the System had a SatNav, but he decided not to continue with that argument after being given a quest to read some books for children a minute ago.
Darren walked down the busy street until he eventually found a library.
'Very convenient, just being here when I wanted it.' Thought Darren, before going to walk in. Unfortunately, he saw a sign saying that there was a 100 copper coin entrance fee, which made him immediately suspicious of the System again. After all, why would it give him such a large sum of money if it wasn't going to take it away from him the next second? He reluctantly paid all his money and entered the extremely expensive and extravagant library... Or not extravagant, as Darren soon discovered. It was very simple, just having rows of books. There was almost no decoration and the little decoration that it did have was in a state of disrepair.
'What are they doing with so much money?' Asked Darren in his head, although he suspected he knew the answer: the owners were just paying almost all of the money into their pockets. And it seemed that he was not the only one who had that thought or at least nobody else was stupid enough to pay 1 bronze coin to enter a library, as it was almost deserted, with only him and a couple of other people in the whole library. Given that one of those people worked there, that meant that there were very few people actually reading books.
Darren went to an index book and looked for one of the books on his list. He decided that knowing the rules of magic would probably be beneficial considering that otherwise, he won't know how things actually work and might try something impossible, at least at his current power. He found out there the book was quickly and walked over to it before picking it up and starting to read.

21-year-old Darren Coates is going to work, at least until he is magically picked up and dropped in the middle of a field in another universe for no obvious reason.
Now, instead of worrying about mundane things, like money and work, Darren has to worry about being killed by any of the thousands of kingdoms warring constantly, or being eaten by any of the millions of beasts and even carnivorous plants, or being hunted by a mysterious organisation that seems to be the only one who knows anything.
All while finding out why he was brought there, by whom, and who else came with him, of course with the 'help' of an even more mysterious system in his head.

"Okay, brother." Uwyn replied. Her eyes were wide in excitement as she waited for her brother to do some magic.

"How come I know which are the food fabricator and the medicine fabricator, Madame Ais?" Maru asked the system after he closed his eyes in front of his sister. He and Uwyn don't know how to read. Even his mother, Olivia, also didn't know how to read and write.

No books were present in their humble home. They could barely find food to eat. How could they afford those expensive books which contain knowledge from their ancestors? But Maru could see the different letters on the book and instinctively knows which is which between the two books.

"You are connected to the system, Maru. Items on your inventory will be recognized by you spontaneously." Madame Ais replied to Maru.

"Can you teach me how to read, Madame Ais?" Maru asked the system. He wanted to learn all these different symbols he saw on the cover of the books.

"Affirmative, Maru. You could learn every language in the realms with 100 world energy." Madame Ais responded to Maru.

"Wow! Please teach me, Madame Ais." Maru requested to the system.

"Affirmative, Maru.

Installing Language Compendium for 100 world energy...

1%

2%

3%

99%

100% complete

Congratulations, Maru. Language Compendium successfully installed. 

You only have 478 world energy available for use." Madame Ais reported to Maru.

"Amazing!" Maru thought after he opened his eyes. He could identify every letter and understand each word from the cover titles. He picked the food fabricator and flipped towards the first page. He saw the table of contents. There were all types of fruits, bread, rice, candies.

The subsequent pages from the table of contents were new and something he hasn't heard about in his young life. There were names of food like cakes, foie gras, white truffles, vanilla, caviar, saffron, angulas, wagyu beef, fugu, et cetera.

"Can you help me find the sweet candies section, Madame Ais?" Maru said to the system. He was flipping the pages for nearly a minute but he was still on the table of contents portion. Maru was beginning to think that there was no end to this.

"Affirmative, Maru. You could also just command the food fabricator using your thoughts. Just think of the name or the kind of whatever food you wanted to find within it." Madame Ais replied.

"Wow! Are these candies? They're so big and look so delicious." Maru exclaimed in his thoughts after he was transferred by Madame Ais to the candies section. He was only in the first page but what he saw stunned him. There were a variety of tasty candies in their expensive looking wrappers.

"How can I take out this candy, Madame Ais?" Maru asked the system. He indicated a candy in the form of an angel. Its name was Fairy Yumyums. He particularly liked this one because the angel was so pretty like his sister, Uwyn.

Of course, that may have been an exaggeration and some people might think otherwise. But in Maru's eyes, his mother and sister were the prettiest amongst all women.

"Shop" The shop window appeared again, he chose the first option [Weaponry] and began to browse.

"Whoa, such a huge increase in attack, I guess some guy swinging around a sword can't match the force of a fired bullet though. The durability is really low, I guess due to being made of plastic? I suppose if you tried to block a sledgehammer with a pistol you'd be in for a rough time."

[Divine Blade]
[Attack - Slashing - 7,500]
[Durability - 5,500/5,500]
[Price - 5,000,000]

"Whoa, those stats, isn't that like firing one hundred bullets at once? But that price! ...Whatever, not like I need weapons, let's check another category"

Figuring that he also didn't have much use for [Armor], Jim skipped to [Consumables]

[Simple Healing Potion - Quality: Low]

[Simple Mana Potion - Quality: Low]
[Recover 50 MP]
[Price - 30]

"...WHAT!? This is mana, mana right? As in magic? It can't be..." Quickly exiting the "Consumables" category Jim's breathing sped up and entered the "Skill" category.

[All Magic Aptitude]
[Allows Usage Of Magic From Any School Or Element]
[Price - 20,000,000]

"Right, it wouldn't be that easy, huh? But still, there's a skill that allows the usage of magic, this is tremendous! Let's check more!"

[Al-kiva Cultivation Technique]
[Condenses Yin Qi In The User's Skeleton]

"Cultivation too? Are you serious? Those guys from Xianxia can fly through the sky, blast a mountain apart with a single fist, utilize mystical energy for all sorts of purposes, I can do it too?"

"Okay, okay, calm down, I need to think about this, I don't even have 10,000 points, let alone in the millions, this is something for the future."

Jim forcibly cooled himself down, his heart was still pounding as he looked through the various skills available.

[Detection]

[Reiki Healing Technique]

[Price - 1,000]

"Hmm? Why is the price for this one so low?" Jim began pondering, recalling that he had heard of Reiki before, people claimed it was an effective method of spiritual healing, he had attempted to use it back in his teenage days and thought he had grasped the concept when his hands began tingling. Turns out he was just triggering the nerves in his hands, an online friend said it may be useful in restoring nerve functions after a hand injury, but he was let down at not gaining supernatural powers. "Perhaps...?" The fruitless training he went through back then may have decreased the price need the buy the skill from the shop, he was hopeful that this was possible.

Jim started to feel overwhelmed by all the options available, and decided to spend time planning what to get rather than rushing into things. "Okay, Let's increase my current skills for now, biting off too much to chew will just end up stunting my growth." Thus, he went to bed, the next day he headed to the Library again.

[Distant Reading Level Up]
[Distant Reading Has Reached Level 9]
[Focus Level Up]
[Focus Has Reached Level 10]
[Focus Level Max]
[Focus Derivation Skill -- Parallel Processing Obtained]
[Congratulations Host, Host Has Achieved Maximum Level In A Skill, Skill Max Gift Pack x 1 Awarded]
[Congratulations Host, Host Has Obtained 10 Skills, Skill Seeker Gift Pack x 1 Awarded]

"Hm...?" After thinking it over, Jim opened the shop, the numbers in the top right were [3, 6, 2800], "I see, so that's how it is", Gaining a new skill granted another 10 points, but another 100 points had appeared too, it seems reaching max level in a skill grants an additional 100 points each, but Willpower hadn't added any, nor did it grant a 'Skill Max Gift Pack', he guessed it was due to only having one level, so it wasn't considered a feat.

Jim had now read 90% of the available books in the library, after arriving here this morning he had tested Distant Reading and was shocked, it didn't let him see a book clearly from afar, he literally didn't need to touch a book to read it, just focusing on a book allowed him to read the contents, the range he could do this was originally only a few meters away, but as the level rose he began to feel he could search the entire library's contents from outside. He began wondering if this counted as a psychic power, the large utility increase was stunning, and further fueled his desire to train his skills.

[Parallel Processing Lv. 1]
[Allows Multitasking With No Concentration Loss]

"Hmm, that's right..." Jim had once read a study which showed performing too many things at once was harmful to overall productivity, each action serving as a distraction from the others, humans become scatterbrained, performing 10 actions at once didn't provide 10% speed for each, you would likely only display 2% speed for each action, but with this...

Jim tried it out, he decided to read two books at once, it worked perfectly, he tried three, but failed, it seems his limit is two, currently.

[Distant Reading Level Up]
[Distant Reading Has Reached Level 10]
[Distant Reading Level Max]
[Congratulations Host, Host Has Achieved Maximum Level In A Skill, Skill Max Gift Pack x 1 Awarded]
[Parallel Processing Level Up]
[Parallel Processing Has Reached Level 3]

After finishing up all the books in the library, Jim was a bit downhearted at not gaining another derivation skill, he found himself able to concentrate on reading five books at once, six if he pushed himself. After leaving, he tested the range of Distant Reading while walking away, finding himself able to access the books at the deepest part of the library despite being a city block away, he was extremely impressed with this skill, the only problem being he can't use it for anything but reading books, Jim was hopeful the derived skill would allow him to study anything from afar, no use crying over spilt milk.

"Now, what should I do next...?"

A middle aged man stumbles across an artifact which changes his life in ways he could not imagine.

Author's Note: I'm sure you guys have noticed the lack of updates. I don't have writer's block nor are there any events preventing me from writing. I honestly just don't have to motivation to keep going for now. Thus, I'm putting the novel on Hiatus, I hope everyone has enjoyed what I've written, thank you.

After spending his third night at the camp, Steve woke up.

Instead of practicing with the other agents, he took one of the horses and went towards Acrine, to look for some books.

Arriving there, there seemed to be some people cleaning the streets. Men were carrying out corpses, others were collecting loot.

As he approached the gates, a man stood in front of him.

"Halt! Who are you?!" the man stopped him from going any further.

"I'm Steve," he answered.

"I don't need your f**king name, what are you doing here?!" the man shouted, clearly irritated by Steve's response

"...Ah, no need to shout... I'm not deaf... I just needed some books" he said with a smile on his face.

"You're pissing me off, dimwit! Normally, I'd have killed you already! Considering what happened here though, I'm gonna let you off just this one time... Just you remember, this is the Obsidian Corps' territory right now. Don't let me see your face again! Now go!" he said

"Fine, fine... I'll go..." Steve muttered.

'It's probably better for me to leave right now, my arm isn't healed and they are outnumbering me hard. I'll just ask Butch to go get some books for me, hehe,' he thought.

He returned to the camp, once more thinking he needs to become stronger... if he was a bit stronger, he'd have no trouble getting the books himself.

When Steve met Butch later on, he informed him of his meeting with the Obsidian Corps.

"It's those guys again..." he said absentmindedly.

"What do you mean? Do you know them?" Steve asked.

"They are a troublesome, fierce bunch. They are always looking for opportunities to get some money and don't mind killing for it. It's quite weird they let you go so easily..." he said, "For now, we can't do much about them though. Don't underestimate them, they have way more men than we do and have been around for way longer. In a head-on fight, we'd lose."

"Mhmm, I think I'll just read the few books we already have in the camp then," Steve said.

---

A month later, Steve's arm was fully healed.

He had been practicing quite hard for the last few weeks. He had increased his training to 10 hours a day, he would read for another 6 hours and sleep for the remaining 8 hours.

In the past month, almost nobody had left the outpost. Everyone was focused on training madly to increase their strength. They all had the resolution to be able to protect everyone around them.

Steve had decided to skip crafting for now, as it hadn't given him any amazing results. He probably needed books that explained how to use alchemy or other magical professions for it to work.

"Profile," he said.

[Name: Steve Monroe
Age: 31
Race: Human
Status: Not even worth calling trash
Title: 'Rookie Monster Hunter'
Level : 3
Experience: 82/200
Abilities: 0
Attributes:
Strength - 8
Dexterity – 10
Stamina – 13
Intelligence – 5
Wisdom – 2
Charisma – 5
Shamelessness - 3
Skills:
Dagger Mastery [2/100]
Sword Mastery [34/100]
Novice Herbalism [78/100]
Note: Don't think you're strong now, because you did a month of training...]

He had surprisingly managed to get his strength and stamina up by quite a bit this month. Training hard really paid off. 

Steve was quite sad he had spent those 4 attribute points earlier though, right now... attributes were quite easy to earn by just practicing, however he noticed it became harder and harder to increase his attributes. In a sense, he had kind of wasted the 4 points, as they would'be been easy to get by training.

The clearest example of the slow progress was his sword mastery training. It really went up at a slow pace... At first, he needed half an hour for the first 2 points. After that, he needed an hour for a point. It keeps increasing whenever he gets a point.

Right now, it would take him about 4 hours just to get 1 more experience in his sword mastery, this was really going too slow!

Fortunately, he knew how to solve this problem. The solution was to read books. They had some books about herbs in the outpost and when he started reading them, it actually gave him some herbalism experience!

The main problem was they still hadn't been able to go to Acrine to try and get some more books. The Obsidian Corps was apparently such a scary enemy that they wanted to avoid all contact.

Steve had also killed some live animals every now and then, giving him some experience. Unfortunately, they didn't really give much experience to him. 

All agents were still in their daily training, as an unexpected event happened.

"Help!! HELP!!!" one of the female agents came running into the camp.

All agents looked around, to see what was happening.

"Isn't that Lily, the one in charge of lifestock? Is one of the chickens revolting?" one of the men asked jokingly.

A couple of men laughed.

"She's being chased!" another agent with sharp eyes said.

That's when everyone saw there were a couple of men chasing her...

After Paul and Steve attended a festival on earth, they start encountering the strangest things. 

Who are the men with the strange faces, and what did they do to my brother?!

Follow MC Steve as we go on a trip to a different world, where magic is power & monsters run rampant.

When Steve arrives on Elea, he receives a system. Is he going to become OP like all those other MCs? He can only hope so, but the author has different plans for this MC.

This synopsis will evolve, just like MC.

Learning how to read has been easier than I expected. The alphabet here has ten letters which indicate sound like "A" or "O" and five letters which indicate sounds like "R" or "K". Those letters can be made into characters which can make up words like putting together "HA" "P" and "PY" makes up the word happy. There is more than 100 characters like those and some of them are even their own words. It took me about half a year to remember all of the letters and after a year and a half I was able to completely memorize the most important characters. Now I can read basically every book I get my hands on. I even got a story book for my first birthday. I was a little worried when I got it, because books are expensive, but I heard that grandma and her son gave my mother a discount when she bought the book. Aparendly seeing a one-year-old read a book made more people interested in reading and they had gotten more books sold even to commoners like us and not only nobles.
My mother still goes to the market daily and takes me with her. She of course leaves me at grandmas care so I can continue reading. Grandmas eyesight has gotten bad so she leaves me to read by myself now. She says that she enjoys hearing me read and is happy when I come and visit her. I really like being with grandma too, but I am scared that she won't be here for that much longer… Then I'll just have to be happy as long as she's here! Reading story books ended for me when grandma stopped reading. I wanted to learn about the world around me and to do that I had to read actual books about science. I read books about biology, I read books about math, I even read medical books until  grandma found out and took those from me. I understand why she did that. Those books reminded me of a scary word. It's a word no one likes and a word that everyone is scared of. Death… The disappearance of someone. "After you die no one will remember you!"
 I wonder who said that... Death is the one thing I don't really want to learn about. Mostly it's because that would lead me to religion and I don't care for that, but also because I'm scared. No one wants to die. That is something that will always be true no matter where you are. Religion I don't really have a problem with. Here you become a part of a religion ones you are at  the age of five. That's because many children die at a very young age and so they can't really be considered "Humans" here. It is sad, because you can't let them go to the "Other world" as they say, like you can do with probably in the religion. Also you can't bury them. Those are the rules and we live by them even if it is sad.

A little girl is born to an original family in historical times. For reasons she does not know, she has been given a lot knowledge and she has a very good understanding of everything around her. Having knowledge is still not something that an original girl I her times should have and it brings her nothing bus bad luck.

She entered the adventurer guild's building and saw a girl with pointed ears in front of her. She went close to her for as closer inspection and thought, "Is she an elf?". In her world, elves are imaginary creatures with pointed ears. 

She went in front of her and asked, "Where can I register?". She looked at her and she also got terrified by her as the guard did. She had no clue why were they afraid of her. The elf asked Aqua to follow her. As they went inside, there were two girls present inside. They looked quite tough. The elf asked her to keep her hand on the big mirror kept in front of her. She followed.

As soon as she kept her hand, the glass of the mirror started changing color. First, it showed her image on it then, it turned black. Some words got inscribed on the glass of the mirror It read,

While she couldn't understand what it means, The three elves beside her had their eyes widened. It seemed like their voice got stuck inside their Body. She said "Um... Hello?". The Elf snapped out of their state and held her hands and rushed her to a room. They knocked on the door and a female voice responded, "Yes?". They yelled "Open fast! We have someone unique who has capability with Void Magic!" 

"What?! Void magic you say? That's not possible" The voice from inside the room said. She opened the door. It was a girl with pink hair and her bosoms were quite big. Not only that, She looked very beautiful with her pair of purple eyes. 

She asked Aqua to sit on the chair. She noticed that the girl was trying to read a scroll. Surprisingly, she could read it. She asked, "Who wrote this?". "We don't know yet but it says it's important in the title but the body, we can't decipher." The girl replied.

"This language is from my homeland, Should I decipher it for you?" She requested while smiling awkwardly. "That would be very good!" She exclaimed as she handed her the scroll.

Aqua readS it out,

"Guild Master, I know it would be hard to crack this but, the Situation has changed. The Seal of the demon lord weakened and he escaped. We request you to tighten the security around the city."

She got terrified after she heard that. She immediately rushed out of the room and went down. "Wait why would you-, You know what? Never mind that." Aqua Asserted while sighing.

She moved out and thought "Where can I learn Magic?"

Most of the 'Wordly' knowledge would be found in the books and most of the books are kept in library. So,  library must be located somewhere in Leuneria.

She saw the swordsman walk pass by whom she asked about the adventurer guild.   She approached him and Questioned, "Do you know where the Library is located?"

The swordsman replied, "It's just beside the adventurer guild's building."

She was stupefied on the thought that she never noticed it. The building was just behind her.

She said "Thank you" before entering the library.
.
In the Library,

Everything when created has its own principles. without principles it's not possible to create the thing. Magic must also have some basic principles..

As she entered, she saw the librarian putting the books inside the shelf. He was quite handsome, had light green hair,  about the same height as her with a pair of red eyes. 

She approached him and asked,  "Where can I find the basic principles of Magic?". The librarian first looked at her, yawned and pointed at a shelf. What he meant was not her going there but he was using Psychokinesis To bring the book to him. A book came floating towards her and dropped in her hand. She found a table where she could read silently..

30 mins later,

She got to know that magic is the study of theory world principles. How things or and etc. Like,  in her world science progressed but in this world magic progressed. Magic has many forms. Psychokinesis is an example of what we saw. 

Magic has been divided into different 10 tiers according to their damage rate and mana consumption. The most important thing while casting is to not get scared. Disadvantage is that you can't move while chanting. You can but it's said that if you do your mind gets distracted.. The most basic spell one should know is,

'Wander, Spirits, Harden Mind'

It's a tier one spell and is a Common type. A common type spell can be used by anyone disregard of their affinity. 

She tried it and chanted, 

"Wander, Spirits, Harden mind" 

A  circle like figure appeared in front of her hand and the spell did work. His spelling was know as 'Sharp Mind' because it increases the focus of someone temporarily for half an hour.

A perfectly normal day, The season of Spring was near and here I thought I would get a new start just like the trees out there. The last month was Dull and depressing, It didn't favor me. I thought this month will bring something new and I was quite correct...

Normally people would perceive that they would get a new job or they would get a new place to live or even that they are moving from country to country.

But......



No one would actually think about getting a whole new life in another world, would they? 

Well if you think it like that, you must be a weirdo. 

Though I wouldn't understand why I was special all I could say what happened was for the better

.....

A group of player is passing by when Shin is talking to 'Trainer Paul', one of them happens to hear Shin.

He look at Shin skeptically before saying to his friends. "Look! Another idiot accepted that 'Scam Quest'."

They look at Shin and started laughing loudly. When Shin heard them he turn around and look at them and fiercely.

"Yo, you're quite fierce for a newbie Huh?" said by a middle age man while walking out the group, he stops in front of Shin while adding "Don't get offended. They laugh because we are also a victim of that quest."

Shin look at the middle age and probe him up. When The middle age man see that kind of look from Shin he smiled and said " Cautious Huh? Well let me tell you this kid that quest is impossible to complete. A lot of people try but all of them got stocked at 60%."

"Even though some of them manage to train in seven days the result is the same, they still failed the quest."

"So don't waste your time doing that stupid quest, don't get carried away because of some rumors saying that you can get a 'Special Skill' on that quest." Advice the middle age guy.


When Shin heard that he give him a slight nod and said before turning around "Thanks for advice".

...


Base on Arthur's stories the System will not give an unsolvable quest, so there must be a reason why those players are still failed he quest.

Shin look at the training ground and see a row of dumbbells neatly arrange at the corner. He walks towards it and inspect it.

[ Lifting Weights ]
Type: Etc.
Weight : 5 kg
Prerequisite: 5 STR
Details: Use to build up muscles and strengthen it. (can only increase STR, VIT and Endurance up to 5)


There are different size and weights in the rows. He take the smallest one and do some lifting with it and after ten minutes he heard a system notification.


SYSTEM: Your body is strengthen through repeated training. +1 STR, +1 VIT, +1Endurance


When he saw it he smiled and continue lifting but thirty more minutes later that smile is wiped out his face because his stamina has been drained.


Base on his estimate every minute of lifting consumes five stamina and his stamina and it is fully drained after forty minutes. He then fully recovered his stamina after six minutes of rest.


Every Forty minutes of lifting gives him two STR, VIT and Endurance. So he can get the max +5 in two hours.

He look at the next dumbbell and check it's details and compare it to to the one he is using.


[ Lifting Weights ]
Type: Etc.
Weight : 10 kg
Prerequisite: 10 STR
Details: Use to build up muscles and strengthen it. (can only increase STR, VIT and Endurance up to 5)

It is almost the the same as the previous one. Then he look at the other dumbbells and see that five of them are almost similar, so if his estimation is correct then he can get the maximum +25 in less than ten hours or ten hours at most.


While lifting a sudden thought sink in his head. Then he do some squats while lifting the dumbbells, after ten minutes of squatting a system notification rings in his ears.

SYSTEM : Your body becomes flexible because of repeated training.  +1DEX


When he see that he formed a satisfying smile. This time he do some jogging while lifting after ten more minutes another notification rang on his ears but this time his AGI is the one that increases. So he continue lifting while doing some squats and jogging in the mix.

Shin didn't get bore of the repeated movement, since back when he is in the 'Black Serpent Mafia' camp he do a similar regime.


.....

After ten hours of boring training Shin heard the final system notification, and after that he take a look at his status window.

.....

Shin looks satisfied when he see the fruit of his labor, he then look at his quest window and see that it is only in 60% progress.


He fall in a deep thought, if most of the other people stops here then this quest is too easy and there is no reason for the system to put that seven day limit (In game Time).


While he is thinking his sight accidentally land on Library across the Training Ground. Then he suddenly remembers his Master's words the first time they have met. "A real training method trains both the body and mind." after that a sudden thought enters his mind.


'There is nothing to lose if I give it a try, since I have a lot of time to spare.' said Shin to himself before walking towards the Library.


The ratio of Real world Time and In game Time is 1:3 so he still a lot of time before dinner time.


The moment Shin enters the Library, the NPC Old woman librarian greeted him " Hello young man, how can this humble library can help you?"


'No quest initiated? Well I guess I'm being greedy?' said Shin in his heart before saying to the old lady "I wish to increase my knowledge, can you give me your guidance senior?"

"Hmm. What a polite young man. This is my first time seeing an 'Otherworldly Individual' treating me like this. Well if you want to broaden your horizon then you should read some books, the more books you read the smarter you become." Said the Old lady librarian.


In this world the NPCs called themselves as the 'Natives', they are the true residents of the world. While they addressed the players as 'Otherworldly Individual' they are summoned in this world by gods and goddesses to become it's savior against the evil forces.


'Huh? Arthur is right the NPC of this world really acts like a real person, so it is better to treat them as one.' muttered Shin quietly before bowing to the Old lady librarian while saying " Thank you for your guidance senior. "



Shin walks towards one of the shelves and pick a book to read, it only have two sentences in it and after reading it a familiar sound rings on his ears.


*DING*
SYSTEM : you have read an entire book your knowledge increases. +1 INT, +1 WIS

'So it really work' When Shin see the notification he pick another book and read it, this time there is no notification when he finished reading it so he pick another book and read it too what follows next is the notification that he is waiting.

'So I need to double the number of books that I need to read before getting the increase Huh?' muttered Shin in his heart before trying his theory and sure enough his INT and WIS only increase when he finished the forth book.

When he confirmed his theory his face become gloomy. " What the hell? If the maximum stats that I can earn here is also 25 then I need to read at least 16 million books in this library? No! to be exact it should be 16,777,216 books! Even though each book only have a two or three sentences in it, it is still a lot of books. What is more, is an almost 17 million book can fit in this small library? "


Shin look around the library before cursing "D*mn! is the System is joking? Now I know why those guys is saying that this Quest is a Scam, whoever discovered that they need to read an almost 17million books is going to be insane."


"How the hell am I going to finish that number of books? Especially in seven days." said Shin while scratching his head. But moments later he stops when he said the keywords of the quest. "Wait, 'Seven Days'? Of course seven days is not enough finish that numbers of book. So why did the System put the seven days limit?"


Shin sank in deep thought while looking around the library, then he muttered to himself " It is unless I don't need to read that number of books to raise my INT and  WIS to the limit, so should I need to read all the books in this library before confirm my new theory? "



After some consideration he still choose to read all the books in the library. " I don't believe that I can't finished reading all of you. After all there is a reason why Arthur is calling me a studious type. "



After a few more hours of reading he logout of the game to eat dinner with the other members of the family then after that he go back to his room to continue reading the books in the game.


.....

An entire day pass since Shin start reading the books inside the library. And the moment Shin is done reading the final book the long awaited system notification sounds on his ears.

*DING*
SYSTEM: You finished reading all the books in the library you become more intelligent and wiser. +10 INT and +10 WIS.

"I knew it! I know that the system is not going to give me an impossible quest from the get go." said Shin when he heard the notification. 

Then he exitedly looks at his Quest Window to see his progress.


Special Quest
Quest Name : Training

Quest Details :
 Trainer Paul thinks highly of you so he invited you to train in his 'training grounds'. Go train your body and build up some muscles so that you can be more powerful than your peers.

Quest Conditions :
  Train for a week

Quest Progress (90%):
  Training Period 1/7days

Quest Reward:
 ???

... 

Shin frowned when he see that his progress is only 90%. " What? There is still 10% missing? "

Shin walk out the building and go back to the training grounds. The moments got back he see Trainer Paul overseeing the village soldiers training in the field.

Shin walks towards Trainer Paul, as he get near him Trainer Paul look at him and said. "Oh! You are here young lad come let me see your progress."


The moment Shin is standing in front of him Trainer Paul nods his head while saying  "Hmm. You build up some muscles and I can see wisdom in your intelligent eyes. But a true soldier do not only have strength and knowledge, they also need some skills so go to that training dummy and figure out your own." He give Shin a wooden sword while pointing at the training dummies in front of him.


The moment Shin heard what Trainer Paul, his eyes turned bright because of the sudden enlightenment he then said to himself "So that's how is it. So that is the last piece of the puzzle."

Shin heard from Arthur that you can create your own 'Self Created Skill' in this game. There are two ways of creating it.

First is by combining different kind of skills in the game . You can combine any kind of skills you what as long as in complement the other skill/s or as long as you can execute it properly.

That kind of skill is called 'Combined Skill' and a combined skill can be replicate by other players as long as they know the right skill combination and know how to execute it properly. And a 'Combined Skill' do not share a cool down time with the original skill/s that have been used in the combination.


And the other way is creating a skill starting from the scratch.

It is even more challenging to do this one because you need to properly execute the skill a hundred of times perfectly or even more, just to create this skill. What is more the skill that have been created needs to be accepted by the system for it to be recognize as a new skill.


The skill that is created this way is called 'Personalized Skill'.

A 'Personalized Skill' can't be replicate by others since it have been created yourself, unless you teach that skill to other person.


And the final part of Shin's quest is for him to create a 'Self Created Skill'. Or more likely a 'Personalized Skill'.

Shin takes the wooden sword and inspect it while walking towards a Training Dummy.

[ Wooden Sword ]
Type: Weapon
Rarity: Normal

Physical Damage: 1 - 2

Details:
  A sword that is being used in training

When Shin is in front of a dummy he also inspected it as a form of habit.

{ Training Dummy }
HP:1000
Physical Defense: Default
Magic Resist: Default

Description:
A Dummy use for training (Well quite obvious)

...


After calming himself he try to swing the wooden sword on the dummy three times.

- 1
- 1
- 1


The moment he see the damage he dealt he frown and said to himself. "So the Default Defense means to reduce any damage dealt with it to the minimum?"

"Hmm. So what skill should I create?" Shin sank on a deep thought.

"Now I know why it have a time limit. Let's see if I can create one in seven days." Then he swing his wooden sword ones again, but this time in proper order and with an extreme speed.


The first strike is a diagonal slash from upper right to lower left, next is a horizontal cut from left to right and then using the momentum from that cut he turn around and do another diagonal slash this time from upper left to lower right.

- 1
- 1
- 1

After the consecutive damages a system notification follow up.


*DING*
SYSTEM: You have initiated the 'Self Creation Skill' system, please do it repeatedly to make it a real skill.

SYSTEM: You can turn off this kind of notification, to avoid distraction in the future.


After turning off the 'Self Creation Skill' notification he continue the repeated movement of his, while doing a calculation in his mind.


A single normal attack consumes 5 stamina, so his entire movement consumes 15 stamina in 2 seconds, if he can regen 6 of it in 2 seconds then he consumes 9 stamina each second. Therefore he depleted his entire stamina in a minute and a half.


He can destroy a dummy in 13 minutes including an entire rest.

'OK, let's see if a single dummy is enough to create a single skill.' said Shin before continuing after his first rest.

.....

After an entire day of training, Shin got frustrated because he still can't create a skill even though he destroyed more than a hundred of dummies.

'Where it did go wrong? Is my way of doing things is not right? Let's endure it a little more and see what will happen.' said Shin to himself while looking in the sky. 'I need to hurry up and stop doing boring things or else the readers will get bored.'

Two more days had pass. Shin destroyed another dummy, he already lost count how many of it have been destroyed, but this time the long awaited sound ring on his ears.


*DING*
SYSTEM: Congratulations you have created a skill. Please give a name to your skill.


Shin almost jump because of joy, but he calm himself and said "Yeah! I almost lose my patience there. So what should I name this stupid skill? I'm not good at naming things so let's just call it 'Triple Slash'."


SYSTEM: Skill Name confirmed.
SYSTEM: Congratulations you have created a 'Rare rank Skill'. You have been rewarded a +10 Fame for creating a Rare rank skill.


"What? It is a Rare rank? So is it the reason why it is so hard to create?" When Shin saw the notification he got startled at first before looking it's details.

...
Self Created Skill (Personalized)
Skill Name: Triple Slash

Rank: Rare

Details: Consume 100 stamina to execute three consecutive slashes. The first slash deal 100% damage while the second deals 150% damage and the third is 200% damage

Cool Down: 30 sec.
.......


"Strong Huh? As expected of a Rare Skill, looks like my 2 days of training is not a waste." said Shin the moment saw the skill details.

He look at his quest window and see that his progress is in 100%. He smiled and walks towards Trainer Paul to submit his quest.


When Trainer Paul saw Shin, he form a satisfying smile while nodding his head. "Not bad Kid, you have created a powerful skill. Looks like your future is going to be a bright one. Here this is the reward of your hard work."


Trainer Paul give Shin a three types of items.
A sword in a sheath, a scoll and a purple book.


Shin eyes turned bright not only because of te quest reward but also a bonus reward given by the system.



....

Seraphine kept staring at Desmond as she suddenly sighed "well it's not like I could stop you anyway with that kind of blind devotion to magic you'll fit right in with all those other magi if you ever make it that far that is. I'll get you that introduction into magic book set for you now. 

"Wait, I only wanted to know the prices of those books I don't have any Drachma on me to buy them at the moment". Desmond was saddened by how he was unable to buy those books right now but, he had to find his home first and get cleaned up so he could exchange those monster cores for money.

Seraphine looked straight at Desmond "judging from your armor you must have just come back from clover forest so you must have gotten some kind of magical plant or monster core out there you can just use that to change for the books".

Desmond's eyes grew wide in surprise "I can trade my monster cores her".

"A lot of stores don't except monster cores or herbs for trade because of price fluctuations but you can here. You also may wind up taking a loss if you trade your monster core directly to us or we will end up on the losing end of the deal and not make a prophet but me and my husband have been doing this for years so it's gonna be hard to try and scam us." she really does not want to let this sale go, she really is one hell of a salesperson.

I nod my head in agreement It's not like I could have used those monster cores to do anything with so trading them for Magic books is most definitely worth it to me.

"Alright just give me a second to get them" I get down on one knee open my bag and take out the 3 shining monster cores which I hand off to seraphine.

She takes the cores and inspects them "let's see two small blue cores there beginner apprentice grade and most likely drowner cores. Only worth about one mage stone for the both of them you need 40 for them to equal one magic crystal still it's more than enough to pay for that introduction into magic package. The second one Is advance apprentice grade it's in good condition I don't know from what creature, but about 50 magic crystals on the low end".

"Hubby, mind taking out that new appraisal device I just bought" she through my monster core at Ragnar who caught it with one hand.

"Alright just give me a second" from under the counter he pulled out a wide black slab that had white carvings on it the same kind that are on my gun and bullets. The carvings glowed when he placed the green sphere on it.

"It appears to be from a sleeping death plant its worth I would say around 100 magic crystals. How In the world did you manage to get a monster core like this? Sleeping deaths are quite hard to kill for creatures. below the level of rank 1 their one of the toughest even with a group.

They may have a weak defense but they always put everything around them to sleep and then trap their prey in an illusion that is hard to break out of without the right potions. Since potions are so expensive there is basically no profit when hunting these things which is why so few even bother to do it". Ragnar had a look of suspicion when he looked at me it made me feel uncomfortable.

Since it was not something I had to keep a secret any way I just told him so he would not think I stole the thing while leaving out the important details and changing some things around I even took out the gun and knife I used and showed It to him. 

"An enchanted flintlock with enchanted pullets the guns an old model worth about 300-400 magic crystals and the bullets about mage stones 10 each looks like even some of the runes are losing their power, but it does explain how someone as weak as you could defeat that thing so easily. The knife is about 100 to 150 magic crystals it only has one active not passive basic enchant making it sharper when you inject mana into it". To think you would get lucky enough to spot one of those things from a distance and shoot its stem before it could even spot you now aren't you lucky.

Ragnar handed me back my things as I asked him about the enchanted knife" This knife was gifted to me by an old friend but I have never used an enchanted blade before can you tell me how I inject my magic into it to activate the runes?". 

"You must really suck at using magic to not even know how to do that. Listen up since everyone has some amount of magic in them well most of the time that is there are still those rare chances someone's born without magic. Everyone unconsciously releases Magic in every action they do. People who train in magic can stop that flow of magic from leaking out.

That's why at times you can find traces of magic on some of the greatest artworks in history or even fined some on your food when you're eating at a restaurant even if the person is not a mage.

Injecting magic Into something is easier than people think since we're always doing it. It's just hard to switch it from passively releasing it to actively releasing magic.

So, what you need to do is simply focus by feeling the flow of magic inside your body and directing In a way that feels comfortable to you. It helps if you imagine your body as a vast lake and you have a channel going from that lake up to your arm to the weapon".

Ragnar took back the curved dagger he handed to me to demonstrate what he said. As he held the weapon in his hand it glowed a soft light. The light was very faint though only comparable to a wisp of smoke. He then took out a block of wood from under the counter placed it on the table and cut it in half as easy as cutting through a steak. So there was still some resistance but, he ended up cutting it fairly cleanly in half.

My eyes grew wide after seeing this "this enchant is amazing it's so powerful".

"No, it's not its one of the most basic ones there are a bunch of things out there you could never hope to harm with only something like this" Ragnar shook his head feeling as though that old man's chances of becoming a mage had just worsened.

Desmond thought that these people were very useful they kept telling him all kinds of things he needed to know for free. It was all general knowledge but it was still things he did not know so he thought about making the most out of their kindness.

"I remember you were reading a scroll when I first walked in. I happen to have a few scrolls given to me for my protection, but he forgot to tell me what any of them did so I can't use any of them until I know their effects can you please identify them for me".  Desmond then went into his bag and took out 5 rolled up scrolls and handed them to Ragnar.

He proceeded to unfurl the scroll place it on the table and turn it towards me while placing his finger on the top right corner. "You see these words up here it's modern Zedrick, not ancient Zedrick like how most spells are written or spoken in so you should be able to tell what the scrolls are yourself this one says, Earth Spike surge. 

It creates a wave of earth spikes in every direction from the ground in any location you want within 30 feet that shoots up and stabs your enemy.

You also have one that says magic needles a lower level spell compared to magic missiles, acid splash, low-grade invisibility, and firestorm, that one's not actually half bad. Except for firestorm which is an advanced apprentice spell the rest are at an intermediate apprentice grade.

Activation requires no magic there are three ways to activate the scroll even tear it up, speak to spell name, or read the incantation. just so you know no one does the last one it takes too much time". He told me what all the scroll's effects did and their effective range.

He then handed me back all my scrolls I put them away and right after that his wife seraphine walked up to me with a pile of books wrapped up in hand. " Your Introduction into magic book set is there anything else you need". She had a sweet smile on her face as she asked me that.

I looked at the books she brought me the were not that thick as I had expected that's when I noticed this book set did not come with some important ones that he needed to know about magic.

"Yes, this book set doesn't seem to come with a book on how to read ancient Frazik, or how to read runes. There is also no book on how to make a magic circle, cast spells or a book about magical plants or creatures".

"Those books are not included in the public book set. A book on how to read ancient Zedrick is only 10 magic crystals, the book on how to read runes is 30 magic crystals, the book on the basics of creating a magic circle is 40 magic crystals, the book of magical plants and creatures depending on the one you want around 20 magic crystals. spellbooks we are not allowed to sell anything beyond Beginner Apprentice Grade and depending on the kind of spellbook you want it'll be between 20 and 100 magic crystals each".  

I still did not know the value of magic crystals but if I treat every magic crystal I see like 100 dollar bills than I start to get a sense of how expensive everything is.

"I want the book on how to read ancient Zedrick, ancient runes, and one book with the most information about magical plants and creatures. I would also like a book about the history of Theotera, and a map of the world, a map of the clover forest and a map of the city". I've been lost and stupidly walking around for far too long I really need those maps.

"We don't have a map of Theotera but we do have a book with a map in it for 3 magic crystals. Those 2 other maps are only 200 drachma (or 2 Gold Mines). Will that be everything you wish to purchase". She said with a smile.

"Yes, that's all I would like to buy today. I may not know the true value magic crystals I can still feel the sting in my pocket. My piecing together everything I know about prices in this world currently it's no wonder that guard said Magi apprentices are broke.  She started to walk off to grab my books when I suddenly stopped her.

"Wait a moment, please I am a bit lost currently can you direct me toward the underground" I have been searching all around for where I lived yet no memories are surfacing so either I'm missing an obvious clue or this man used to live somewhere in that place they call the underground.

"Sure I can help you, see we're currently on the intersection between District D and C called morning road. If you want to reach the trains heading Underground you'll have to go towards the tall Bell Tower in the distance. You'll see it if you just look up the bell towers signifies the train depot in this area". She quickly answered my question before promptly leaving grabbing my books and handing them to me.

"That all comes out to 68 magic crystals and 200 drachma (or 2 Gold Mines) your change is 31 magic crystals and 19 and 3/4's of mage stones and since mortal money does not transfer well with the money magi use you have the option of 99 gold mine and 98 Drachma or you could buy more books". The lady was a splendid sale man as she told me this.

So, magi don't accept those bills I keep seeing as payment "can In open a tab here and put that money in it I plan on coming back there are still more books I need to buy. Just give me 800 Drachma (8 gold mine)." Carrying all those bills in my pocket would be annoying anyway. Magic Crystals are apparently a better form of payment anyways.

"Of course you can, may I have your name please"

"My name is Desmond Gillies" She had taken my name down and hands me my money in a leather pouch. The magic crystals were the length and width of my finger making them annoying to carry. They were light blue and looked like they had a rainbow inside of them. The drachma was in paper form like dollar bills just silver and had pictures of mages on them. They ranged from they came in the form of 1, 10, 20, 50, and 100 bills.

"They're even able to put pictures of themselves on their money magi really are full of themselves, I can't wait to become one".

After that, I leave the store with all my books in tow heading toward that train depot to find my home while looking towards a bright future.

What is the truth? What is reality? Could the end actually be the beginning?
