Esta é uma webnovel de fantasia em um estilo semelhante as séries Discworld e o Guia do Mochileiro das Galáxias.
O mundo de Propasa  tem fortes inspirações nas mitologias mesoamericanas como Inca, Maia, Asteca, Tupinambá, etc.…
Não existe uma intenção de um retrato fiel de nenhuma mitologia, mas uma influência multicultural com o intuito de criar algo diferente.
Existem muitas referências sutis a mitologia, livros, quadrinhos, filmes, RPG e até videogames. Como por exemplo a princesa prometida, um clássico da sessão da tarde.
E antes de começar a ler é bom saber que diferente da maioria dos livros de fantasia lançados recentemente, o livro que tem em mãos possui começo, meio e fim.
Boa leitura.



Em um mundo de fantasia um grupo de garotas recem saidas de uma academia de magia partem para aventuras. (primeiro volume "uma linda feiosa e os dragões de Licorne" esta disponivel na Amazon e clube de autores)

The town guards swaggered over to us. The waiters and attendants of the restaurant moved instead to soothe the other patrons of the restaurant about the disturbance.

One of the town guards, a broad-faced man with a rough mustache and stubble chin, pulled at an empty chair and pushed it over towards our table. He sat on it, facing backwards, and grabbed a chicken leg off the spread.

He munched on the meat and then pointed with the bone at Yae, "I remember you. Didn't I tell you to keep out of trouble? I see you've found yerself a whole new set of troublemakers."

Yae frowned slightly. "They were the ones to accost me, what was I supposed to do? It was self-defense, that it was."

"I'm not talking about some little crooks. You should just have ran away instead of makin' a show of it! Violence is not a solution to everything!" and then he pointed at me, "And you… what's your excuse?"

I smiled. "It was crazy, officer! There were these idiots who just wouldn't let us go until we allowed them to run their faces into our fists! Repeatedly!"

He scoffed. "A joker, huh? You'll find we have no patience for jokes in this here parts. No one asked you to butt in, you lot did more damage to the town than anyone."

"They were threatening to do things to Yae!" Elze shouted out. "You can't blame us from DOING YOUR JOB FOR YOU! What sort of town guards are you anyway? Where were you when all of this was happening?"

"Hey, what we know is what we can do about. If rascals want to rumble in the streets, that's not something we can fix until someone tells us so we can go there! You know how big this town is? We were actually just about to get there when you lot just all decided to run away! Don't you play dumb now, there's lots a' people who saw you fighting recklessly in this here good town!"

"Hmm? Why is damage to the town more important than criminals accosting people out on the street?"

Monika pulled up relevant info about town guards. When thinking about town guards, what immediately leapt to mind was Sir Terry Pratchett's novels about the City Watch of Ankh-Morpork in Discworld.

/"But that itself was inspired by the Rembrandt Van Rjin's painting of the Night Watch, which itself was commissioned by Captain Banning Cocq and seventeen members of his Kloveniers – civic militia guards! So… town guards might not actually be directly employed by the local lord or mayor!"/

She looked at the town guards. /"Yet volunteer militia would certainly be better dressed, better equipped, and better motivated for crime prevention. I think maybe they're less volunteer police officers than the more structured protection racket of the local government."/

Wait.. that brought up a strange idea. Could… could the whole thing actually have been staged, and the town guard were about to swoop in and show themselves being all protectors of the peace? The deliberately leaked Yae's location as bait as an excuse to show off and gleefully and justifiably break some heads? Remind the shopkeepers about how much they were 'needed', maybe?

I shrugged. "So what's the problem?"

"The problem is that you used magic in town. That's against the law. You damaged town property! And that's gots its penalty!"

"One could also argue that being under fear for our lives, NOT resorting to magic would have been dumb as hell going four against about, what, ten armed and hostile criminals? Criminals who had some strange courage to commit such violence in the middle of the day, threatening **** and death, and people were just watching interested at seeing a young girl beaten down."

Then I shook my head sadly. "I do not have much sympathy for this town."

"Who needs yer worthless sympathy? Two gold penalty for ye," and he looked at the girls, "each of ye, or ye spend a month in the clink!"

"Ha! Good lu-"

I reached under the table and patted Elze's knee to keep her from resorting to violence. She glared at me, pop-eyed, from the side. I shook my head gently. We did not actually have the budget to pay for an interesting restaurant floor fight scene with tables and plates and fleeing diners flying all over the place.

I had a thing against ruining other people's honest business for no good reason. I was always on the side of the poor innkeeper on those kung-fu movies and wished they had a decent bouncer to toss these hot-headed idiots out on the street.

"I guess that just leaves one question, then…" I reached into my chest pocket and flashed my purple Adventurer's Guild card. "Am I being detained?"

Monika groaned and palmed her face.

The town guard tsk'ed. "Just like I figured. You lot always think you can get away with anything. Just a Purple? Don't get too full of yourself, boy."

"There's nothing wrong with taking free legal advocacy that comes with being a duly licensed adventurer. The Guild does not usually interfere, but that doesn't mean they can't be asked to intervene. Some of us choose to follow laws as much as possible – and expect that the law treat us fairly as well."

"Just for that, it's three gold and if not we're bringing ya in right now!"

I raised my gloved hand up, still urging Elze or Yae not to move. The town guard flinched a bit, but then there was that flash of eagerness passing across his face?

I held that pose for several long agonizing seconds. I measured how much hassle it would be to just fight our way out of this joint. The guards had their hands on their swords and bent down slightly ready to move, but as the seconds passed no one budged.

I stared at the guard in front of me, meeting his eyes with the blankness of my own plastic-shelled visage until I could see him sweat. His face broke open in a contemptuous sneer. 

"You… you don't even actually want to do that, do you?" I murmured. "You want me to swing the first punch…!"

I closed my raised right hand to one pointing finger. "[Playback], please."

Then I had Monika replay the recording of what he had just said for the past thirty seconds. The sneer slowly faded from his face as he realized we had some magic to accurately replay events as evidence to his own superiors. Null magic was personal magic, it was not something they could stop just from denying access to magic stone.

"Oh. Right! I forgot, you did say you could perfectly remember and repeat again everything you could see and hear!" Elze gushed out melodramatically.

All the way back at the start, I had asked for and read the Guild guidebook. Reflet Guildhouse was happy to assist, it was always good to see new adventurers treating their new career seriously.

There was actually a very strong precedent for this and helped to protect the Guild's neutrality across different nations. Trumped-up charges was the best way for local lords to try make adventurers 'learn their place', until they learn that the adventurer they were hassling just so happened to have strong ties to an army or well capable of blasting through their town walls all on their own.

The Guild usually did not interfere with their adventurers unless what they were doing impacted the reputation of the guild as a whole. It actually turned out that local puissant lords thinking they could push around the guild and threaten adventurers was a threat to their neutrality. If their kings had already granted the Guild their grace to operate, from where do these petty tyrants get their arrogance?

Adventuring was also an old past-time of royals sending their sons to more directly gauge the mood of the populace and ferret out malingering lords. As the history of the Adventurer's Guild stated, not just a few adventurers became nobles in their own right, even kings. The monarch of a certain northern neutral kingdom was even a Guild Grandmaster.

"Is it just because we're adventurers? Do remember that there is nothing that prevents nobles and royalty from becoming adventurers as well, town guard. I know that you don't know who I am, so let me just ask you this – are you feeling lucky?"

I smiled thinly. You want to hassle me with legalese for dealing with your job of failing to keep the peace from criminals in your own town? Then be prepared for me to hassle you back with politics.

"Feth!" he spat aside. "You adventurers are all the reason we have this problem in the first place! You all think you can just walk into town and cause trouble? We have to live with the mess you all leave behind!"

"I would normally be much more sympathetic with the damage we caused, but really it's a good reminder that there are some people whom stupid untrained criminals can't just push around. If they had any real strength, they'd have been adventurers instead."

He grit his teeth. Implied of course, was that anyone with any real strength would be an adventurer instead of a mere town guard.

"So what if we're just town guards? You're going up the whole of Amanesque! You're just another criminal if you try to fight us!"

"And if I actually don't, you're just another crooked servant trying to steal good coin from their lord by under-reporting income from fines! I get to spend time in jail and get this whole thing made into a scandal for your master and then win money from him! You get to lose your head!"

I laced my fingers together in a Gendo pose and grinned. "Some property damage is nothing compared to evading your lord's rightful dues! I think we should be talking about how much you should be paying /me/ to keep silent about this instead."

"You…! You won't get away with this!"

/"Wait, why have the roles seem to have reversed so suddenly?"/

I kept pushing. "You won't get away with lying about anything, town's man. That eight gold you're trying to extort from me, I could pay a whole lot of adventurers and barristers to swarm this town instead. You know you don't have the personal strength to bring me in, and if you wake up the knights they're not going to thank you for it.

"You're vastly overstating the damage you're using as an excuse for this. I could easily prove that it was nothing more than some broken flagstones on the road and some scratches on the wall. That would be trivial to fix even by the shop guilds nearby. Why don't we go talk to the actual magistrates about the proper fines, hmm?"

/"Oh, I get it. All of this – it's a provocation. It's funny, maybe they actually were going to try to frame you or scam you through the Guild but you accidentally used their very own tactic against them first!"/

He scowled back at me for a few long moments, and I feared we'd have to resort to violence anyway.

But then he spat at the floor. "…. feh. I've no time for this noise. Lord Klass is nae impressed with any dang adventurers, you'll see. But I'm not gonna be stupid enough to get his attention, it's always in a bad way." 

He seemed to weigh the risks of me making some official ruckus versus the ruckus he wanted to get. Without a wrecked restaurant, he wouldn't have as much excuse for the hefty fines and the pleasure of seeing us on the rack. Once outside, adventurers would be far more easily able to overpower them, escape, and leave town with minimal damage. Just some adventurers roughing up the town guards... that was not worth the knights' time, making them chase down some miscreants on command. 

The tail should not wag the dog.

But adventurers wounding the pride of the powers of the nobility, that was another matter entirely.

He grabbed at a sandwich and motioned for the other guards to start plundering our table as well. "Count yerself lucky it's too late in the evening for me to bother dragging all of youse all the way down town!"

"Yes, that certainly is a believable excuse not to do anything," I replied neutrally.

The town guard snorted again, and then spat out a glob of phlegm at my face. "Wind," I uttered. The snot-ball was deflected off to the side. A waiter yelped out in disgust and dismay at the stain on his uniform.

"Whatever, boy. I'll be watching you. One more step out of line, and I'm tossing you into a cell, see if I don't!"

"We're just passing through, we'll be out of your hair by tomorrow." Or what's left of it, I didn't say. "And if we do meet again, I will remember you too."

Grumbling, they left the restaurant. They took whole dishes with them, and I meant including the dishes. They could probably pawn those off somewhere too.

"Honestly, such ruffians!" the waiter snorted in their wake. He glanced at our purple card and his nostrils dilated in barely-disguised disdain, but a Purple could become a Red or Silver eventually (and thus earn far more) and get famous. A town guard would always be just another trumped-up commoner.

"... I think it's great that you solved that without violence, Mister Zah," said Linze. Unlike her sister, she was much more sensible and didn't enjoy the thrill of combat and didn't hurting others even if they deserved it.

I exhaled roughly and slumped in my seat.

… yeah, this place needed a Sir Samuel Vimes far more than it needed a Batman.

After Zhao Yufei absorbed the mutant blood cores she went for the library. It wasn't too hard for her to find it. She had bought a map after she came to the city. 

The Library was a big building. Its structure was like a temple in ancient greek. It was in the center of the city and every building has been built around it. In front of it, two guards were standing. 

While Zhao Yufei was walking toward the door, the guards stopped her "put your hand on this crystal." They looked strong and even talked strong. 

Zhao Yufei put her hand on the crystal and the crystal changed color to a bloody red. While the guards saw the color of the crystal, they shook their heads and bowed politely "we are really sorry. If you need anything just say it."

Zhao Yufei didn't know what was happening and Mimic wasn't available so she thanked them and went to the library. 

"We should inform the master. She is special."
While Zhao Yufei had gone, these two guards whispered to each other and one of the disappeared.

"How can I help you miss?" There was a receptionist in the center of the hall. 

"I'm here to learn history. Would you mind show me the way?" Zhao Yufei asked as politely as she could. The receptionist stood up and said, "follow me". 

"This is the biggest library of Azure Dragon country, you may find all the things you want here including techniques, history, ancient arts, array techniques, and many other things, and of course they are not free." After the receptionist opened a door at the end of the hallway she said: "remember the shelves of row twelve are not available to normal people and it will hurt you." With an alert look on her face, the receptionist went back to her desk. 

"First I need to know about this world and its structure and second about its creatures."
Zhao Yufei planned all she wanted to do. The went to row one and searched its shelves. 

"History of Ancient" - "Ancient Structure" - "Life of Ancient". These three books were the most accurate and best source. She knew how to chose books because she was a professor after all. It was her habit to choose books. 

Ancient was a universe, it had many stars and many planets with many forms of life. This universe shaped by a battle between gods and demons. Back then there just two kinds with a planet called utopia. 

But a battle took place in that perfect planet. The king of gods fell in love with the empress of demons. But some gods and some demons used this opportunity to break the peace. 

The power that war created made the foundation of this Ancient world.

"Every creature that now exists is a bloodline of those demons and gods but some legends say that there is a unique bloodline called "Fallen". Its source is that mysterious power which created this universe but there is no proof or evidence." Zhao Yufei was amazed. It was like a big bang theory but somehow like fairytales. 

In this universe, many creatures lived. But only six of them had names and the other was the mutants or their offsprings. Demons, Dragons, Ghosts, Giants, Furry, Splash and the Mysterious Fallen. In the books, they mentioned six but the Fallen were the seventh which showed that they may or may not exist. 

The life of these creatures was dependent on their cores, their source of bloodline and every core had a specific element of water, fire, wood, metal, earth, and blood. 

Splash: water. - Dragons: fire. - Furry: wood.- Ghosts: metal. - Giants: earth. - Demons: blood. And for the Fallen: the legendary God core.

People may have multi-elements but there was a limit and it was rare. Every core may have only 3 elements and they had a level from ordinary - primitive - mutant and sacred depend on the level of cultivation of the keeper of it. And for God's core, no one knew. 

People in this world had many jobs. Some were hunters, some were warriors, some were ordinary people and lived within cities. Hunters hunted cores of creatures except for the six bloodlines. Warriors protected their countries. 


Now Zhao Yufei knew why the guards asked her about who she was. "According to this book and Mimic I am a hunter and for my core and element, I should be a demon with a sacred level core. Or else how could I kill those two Demons?"


After Zhao Yufei read these books she realized every information she had read in those books was vividly clear in her mind. Every word and every mark. She used to memorize things on earth and she was food with it but this was on a whole another level. 

Zhao Yufei wanted to go and find some techniques. After all, it was so good and fascinating to learn and become powerful but she didn't do it. Firstly she didn't have much money and she wasn't sure when she may go on a trip later and secondly Mimic told her that she will give her a set of techniques specifically for her. 

She stood up and walked while red the name of the books and suddenly found herself in front of row twelve. After looking at the books, she found them glowing with blood-ish color. It was mesmerizing, at least for her. 

She reached her hound to get it, Suddenly "you are quite special as guards described. Would you like a cup of tea or a coffee or perhaps a better one 'blood' ?"

"Who'd knew something this vulgar in appearance, could have such a profound taste. I have been enlightened." Leon patted his belly in satisfaction.
"Your Highness, if we keep up this level of consumption, we won't be able to last long. For this meal, we have used up five carcasses." Zorbek reminded.
Leon glanced at the pile of black exoskeletons. All the unused inwards and dripping blood have been reduced to ashes to eliminate foul smell.
"That's true. We need to exercise self-restraint from this point onwards." Leon nodded, before asking, "What's the progress on—"
Suddenly, an audible stomach rumble was heard.
"Ugh…"
Damir groaned. He clutched his stomach and paled with cold sweat.
"What's the matter with you, Damir? Are you not feeling well?" Marcus asked with surprise.
"I… I can't hold it anymore. I gotta go!" Damir roared, startling the group.
He undressed his suit of armor and found himself a hidden spot behind the pile of leftover exoskeletons.
"C'mon, it's too late to be pretending now. Everyone had already eaten and know the food was safe to eat." Marcus said with an ironic smile as if he had Damir's sudden behavior all figured out.
"Don't come over here! Arghh!"
"Quit playing around—"
Marcus suddenly paused and clutched his own stomach with a pale face. Similarly, he broke into cold sweats and said, "I… I think I gotta go too…"
Rumble…. Rumble…
"Ugh… count me too…"
"And me three…"
Rumble…!
The sound of stomach growling became louder and more numerous. It was set off one after the other like a chain reaction. It didn't take long until everyone who had a taste of the devil's food began to fell into the same situation.
"Good heavens! The power of nature compels me!"
"Arghh, what the hell! It feels like my backdoor is about to burst open!"
The palace guards exclaimed in shock. They weren't sure what was happening to their body. However, one thing they were sure of was; when they had to go, they got to go!
No one had the hearts to care about their dignity in the presence of a lady, not when their asses were on fire! Everyone found their own holy ground, dropped their pants and squatted in preparation for the grand ritual.
"Shameless!" Lilith cried, before escaping upstairs like a startled kitty.
Leon tried suppressing the strong urges by injecting silver needles into himself, but it was no use. There was no escaping. It was a natural process to expel waste and harmful substances from the body. Preventing it would only cause him self-harm.
Ultimately, he resigned to his fate and sighed. Great journeys start with a trip to the toilet. Leon erected himself a 'throne' with whatever materials he could scrap together, before seating himself for the inevitable.
Soon, the suppressed urge was released as everyone defecated uncontrollably like gushing water from the floodgates opening. It was a horrific scene where foul substances flew indiscriminately and tainted the historical remnants on the bottom floor.
The bottom floor was swallowed in a torrential wave of horrible smell. The palace guards continue to squat through the terrifying experience as they pray to both man and god to end their suffering.
"Ahhh, it feels like my rear is on fire!"
"Good lord, please make it end!"
"Begone!
The palace guards' cries could be heard from all the way up top. Lilith tried to block out her hearing. This underground trip was filled with its own horrors. If she knew what she was signing herself up for, she would've never come.
After what seemed like an eternity, the noise began to die down. The group was in low spirits as they wiped their rears with whatever they could use.
 "Aiyoo, it stings so bad." A palace guard exclaimed.
"What a terrifying ring sting. I must say it was ten times worse than eating spicy hotpot." Another one commented.
"What's a ring sting?" An ignorant one suddenly asked.
The others looked at the person strangely, before one of them said, "You never heard of a ring sting? What about the red ringer? The ringer stinger? The red ringer stinger? Fiery a**hole? If you eat spicy food often, you should be familiar with the terms, especially spicy hotpot."
"I… don't eat spicy hotpot," Jackson replied.
The others looked at him like they were looking at an anomaly. Who doesn't like spicy hotpot? But then they sighed, "You had it easy, man. Or perhaps not…"
It was a love-hate relationship. Spicy hotpot was so good, but it would always leave them contemplating their life's choices on the throne. Over time, they built some tolerance, but this was definitely the worse experience yet.
Considering Jackson didn't eat spicy hotpot regularly, he would have been hit the hardest out of all of them. He would never touch the devil's food again.
Everyone secretly cursed the Grandmaster. Grandmaster Don didn't lie to them, but they felt like they had been tricked. It truly was an 'unforgettable experience'.
"Bleurgh..."
The palace guards could no longer withstand the foul smell and began gagging without surprise. The horrendous smell had been intensifying with each passing moment.
"Ah… this smell is going to kill me…"
"Just kill me now. I can't live with this shame… Bleurgh…"
The group had indeed made a mess and the smell became unbearable, even with Leon's tolerance he couldn't keep a straight face. He used his fire abilities to clean up their mess and eliminate the smell.
He failed to fully eliminate the bad smell, but at the very least, it was brought down to a bearable level.
Seeing the painful looks on the others, Leon wasn't sure if it was due to his strengthened body, but his experience wasn't as bad as the others. However, he never expected that he would have to use one of his sets of spare clothes as toilet paper.
Hold on.
Leon suddenly froze. He had spare clothes from his Worldspace to use, but what did the others use? Glancing over, he noticed several dirty scrunched papers on the floor.
"You, what did you use to wipe yourself?"
Leon interrogated a random palace guard.
"Eh?" The palace guard was taken aback, before replying, "Err… I used some torn papers from the books lying around, your Highness."
"You!" Leon was immediately triggered. He swept his gaze through the others with suppressed anger, before he asked, "Don't tell me, you all did the same?"
The group nodded guiltily.
"F*ck!" Leon cursed.
Those books potentially contained history and knowledge of the ancient civilization. More importantly, they were written in the universal language of the Divine Realm, something he could understand. Their values were inestimable. Yet, they were used as f*cking toilet paper, when there were other items they could have used! He never felt so angry since the time his father was killed.
Seeing the prince's emotion, the palace guards lowered their heads. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
However, they didn't expect the prince to react so violently. These books were written in a foreign language. It didn't possess much value unless they were able to derive the language. Thus, they thought it was okay to use it. They had no idea the prince cold read these books.
Looking at their dumb looks, Leon could only keep his feelings to himself. Leon rubbed his temples and calmed himself with a sigh, before he said, "Ugh, whatever. Handover the remains."
"Yes, Your Highness."
The palace guards hurriedly presented the items to Leon with dirtied hands. When Leon saw the stains, he immediately backed up, "Holy sh*t! Stay back!"
The palace guards outstretched dirty hand froze.
The palace guard retracted his hand awkwardly and simplemindedly said, "Err, I guess they are called holy sh*t now."
The paper torn from the books were worn out and didn't have the same flexibility and strength as normal toilet paper. As such, it was easy for palace guards to accidentally tear it while wiping himself.
Leon rolled his eyes at the comment.
Summoning a large chunk of ice with his ice ability and melting it with his fire, Leon ordered the group to clean up the mess and salvage what they could. Fortunately, there were still a few books that were left untouched, dirty but not tainted by human waste.  
After the group had done their best to clean the place, Leon had the group cultivate by the blocked entrance to weaken the earth.
While they were cultivating, he brought the books upstairs where the air was fresher to peruse. At the same time, he avoided eye contact with Lilith which felt piercing.
Among the books he had, there were flight records, cultivation books, research journals, and even diaries. The building didn't seem like a library. As such, he thought it was strange for all these books to gather in one place. Leon decided to ignore the first three and went straight for the diary first.
He wanted to understand what happened to the ancient civilization and how it ended, or perhaps who ended it. He thought about the demons, but he had yet to find other traces apart from the demon parasites. Leon frowned when he recalled the Bloodfiend Sect and their blood refining methods.
Sometimes, the greatest of evil came not from the outside, but from within. Humans could be bigger demons than even the demons themselves.
With these thoughts, Leon flipped open the first diary.


The Divine Realm was a holy land of cultivation, governed by the laws of the jungle. The strong prey on the weak and the one with the bigger fist has the bigger say. It always has been and will always be. No matter how lofty or venerated a person's status may be, without the strength to back it, they are no different from paper tigers.
Leon was awoken to this truth at the final moments of life as the medicine kingdom fell apart and his father, the Divine Medicine King departed the world for all eternity. However, death was not the end for he was granted a second chance at life. Follow Leon on his quest of vengeance as he forgoes the teachings of the medicine saint in order to seek the ultimate power to slay all his foes. 
"Those who repaid gratitude with malice, forgets friendship for greed, wash your neck and wait for me. I will be back!"

I woke up the next morning with a smile on my face and it isn't just because I didn't get stabbed by a single piece of hay that night. My cheery mood is evident and even Marie mentions it as she ties pretty pink ribbons into my hair. 

My plan to con my way into being the promised child all feels so real now and the sheer joy of having a concrete plan to avoid an early death has left me feeling giddy. Now I don't have to suck up to my emotionless father in hopes of earning an ounce of favor that will pay back in dividends when I'm falsely accused. I had a deadbeat father in my last life, this is nothing new. I've packed all my hard feelings about Emperor Helio into a little box and kicked it to a deep, dark corner of my mind. 

Forget fatherly love, all I want is to continue to enjoy my new, luxurious lifestyle without care. My thoughts wander back to the buttery soft coffee cake I had with fruits this morning, and my mouth starts watering again even though my stomach is full. If I want to continue to enjoy stress-free meals like these, I'm going to need to access the royal library for proper research. 

I stroll past the well-tended rose gardens to the front entrance of my palace, denoted by a white arched walkway with two royal guards standing tall on each side. When they see my small self making my way over, they turn and bow obediently. 

"Your highness," they say in unison. I just wave, using my little kid pass to get out of being excessively formal. 

"Good morning!" I respond. One of the guards, a blonde, handsome man looks familiar but I can't quite place where I've seen him before. 

They look nervous and rightfully so. The last time I had approached the entrance, they denied me from exiting on grounds that it was not safe for me to wander the palace. This time, however, I plan on walking through the arch no matter what. 

"I'm leaving today," I announce first. 

"Your highness, I'm afraid you are not allowed to leave because of your-", a guard starts.

"Because of my safety, right? Well, I thought about what you said last time and I have a solution. From now on whenever I leave the Palace, one of you can accompany me!" I give them my full, megawatt smile and clasp my hands together, but now the guards only look even more unsure. 

"Princess... we are just following orders that we've received," the blonde guard admits, the words looking like they pain him. I nod understandingly, but on the inside, I'm getting ready to go for the throat. 

"Oh?" I respond innocently. "And whose order is that?"

"Lord Amarelius, your highness," the other guard answers. The blonde guard gets a funny expression on his face as he hears Wolfgang's title and I suddenly recall where I saw him. Flashes of memories that night in Bianca's house make my cheerful expression fall from my face. 

"And is he higher or lower ranked than me?" I inquire, my tone no longer retaining the same charm as before. Looking at the young man who had tried to coax me out of the dress cabinet reminds me of how traumatic it was when the guards fetched me from the slums and I do not wish to remember that night.

"Your rank is greater than his in terms of sovereignty, but his is greater than yours when it comes to military powers, your highness," the blonde quickly counters. He has a decent head on his shoulders, but I already knew that from the time he discovered the hidden door to my room.

"Sooo," I say, placing one finger from both hands beside each other. "I'd say that makes us about even, wouldn't you..."

I trail off, waiting for the guards to give their names. The unfamiliar guard appears stressed, a bead of sweat visible under his helmet, while the blondie looks amused. 

"I'm Sir Paul." His voice trembles as he introduces himself. I tsk a little on the inside. That man will not get very far in the military if he is so easily scared by a child like myself. 

"And I am Sir Finn, your highness. And yes, that would make you even," the blonde announces grandly, dipping into a bow. Finn the Fox, I call him in my head.

Now I smile once more. 

"Then until Sir Ama... Amarel, oh you know who I'm speaking of," my youthful tongue tripping over the tongue twister of a last name, "until he personally comes and tells me I am not allowed to leave the Rose Palace, then I will go as I please until then." I almost say kapeesh at the end, but I narrowly realize that it's a word that doesn't exist in this world. 

"My lady," Marie starts nervously. She had been against my plan all morning and now she crept from where she stood behind me to speak.

"It's fine, Marie. Isn't Sir Finn?" I look him dead in the eye.

Finn bursts into a loud, belly grabbing laugh. 

"Indeed, your highness," he responds, wiping a tear from his eye. He is the first of the two guards to move out of my path and the other quickly follows suit, looking like he is about to throw up his breakfast. 

I begin to walk out the archway, feeling extremely triumphant and ready to take on the world. But Finn the Fox was not quite finished yet.

"However, your highness," he begins from behind me and I slow to a stop. "You still need a guard to accompany you to your destination."

I grit my teeth, because he is right. 

"Just for today," I sigh. I don't want to let one, irritating knight ruin what should otherwise be a splendid day. 

This is my first day walking around the royal palace. I'd seen glimpses of this architectural wonder when I was hastily escorted to the Rose Palace but this is the first time I am seeing it in full. My path is covered in dappled sunlight from the overhanging willow trees and maids and servants alike bow when they see me. I almost want to pinch myself for it feels like I'm in a dream rather than reality. 

I am clutching Marie's hand since I don't know where the library is and it isn't long before we come to a stop before a grand, spiral building with guards in front. I stare at the tall structure in shock because it is the tallest building I have ever seen in this world.

"The royal library is quite impressive, isn't it your highness?" Finn asks, smiling at my small form bending over backward to see the entire library. The cool air inside the building is in stark contrast to the outdoor warmth and Finn quietly informs me that the temperature within is carefully regulated by magic so that none of the rare books crumble or yellow. 

The floor to ceiling is covered in shelves of books that extend higher than my eye can see. There hangs in the air, the ever-familiar scent of dust and paper, a constant in any library no matter which world. I wonder how the librarians here can possibly manage to remember where any of the books are in here. I wonder briefly how one would even manage to get a book from the shelves the same height as an average house but I notice a library custodian standing on a floating platform with a balcony that slowly goes up and down the shelf. 

Although I know it exists, I have not seen much magic and I can't help the grin sprouting on my face. I was a real sucker for Harry Potter and other fantasy novels, this is practically a dream come true for Maria! 

"Look! Look at that!" I saw in awe to Marie, pointing at the floating platform. I desperately want to ride it, but I'm sure they would let a child go on the potential dangerous contraption. The man on it, a custodian in a dull gray waistcoat with matching trousers, notices me on the ground and the platform lowers to the floor. His footsteps echo as he walks over to me and I can tell this man recognizes me. After all, there aren't that many other white-haired kids running around the palace that has been the hot topic of palace gossip.

"Your highness," he says nervously, dropping into a low bow. He stands back up straight in a snap and I notice he wears glasses that make him cute in a nerdy way. For the thousandth time, I lament my luck for being reborn as kid instead of as an adult. 

"I'm looking for some fun books to read, with many pictures in them," I say earnestly. "Can you take me there?"

I have no desire to read elementary level books, however, I must operate cautiously and don't want to raise suspicion as a 5-year-old reading books about the history of the Empire and the Holy Church. Marie waits near the grand entrance of the royal library and Finn follows the custodian and I as we meander deeper into the winding mazes of shelves. He stands a good enough distance away that I am certain he cannot hear me when I tug at the custodian's hand and smile.

"Sir," I say, chuckling at how shocked he is to have royalty touch his hand. In truth, I am no better or worse than him, I would have gotten my hand cut off if I had touched him two weeks ago. 

"I actually lied to you earlier." 

His brows crinkle together. 

"O-Oh, your highness." He has no idea how to respond. 

"I'm going to wait here because I am tired of walking, so can you please get my books for me. I do like books with pictures, but I like history books even more."

I hold his hand a little tighter and pout at him a little bit. 

"People will think I'm weird if they see I'm reading adult-level books and I don't want to get made fun of," I say pleadingly. 

I can tell I struck a nerve in the custodian because his back straightens and his face goes serious. 

"There is nothing strange about reading advanced level books, no matter what anyone says. It just means you are an intelligent child!" he says emphatically. Perhaps he faced this kind of teasing as well when he was younger. 

"But I still don't want anyone to know, so when you get me a few books about the Empire and the Holy Church, can you please stack a few children's books on top so no one sees them? Pretty please?" 

He nods vigorously. 

"As you wish, your highness," he replies and his long legs quickly carry him out of view as he fetches my books. 

Finn approaches when he is gone and asks what we discussed. I cheerfully tell him to mind his own business. 

Before long the sound of footsteps echoes once more and the custodian emerges from the narrow space between two bookshelves with a healthy stack of books. But tall Finn stepped ahead of me and scooped them out of the custodian's arms with ease as if he were carrying a pile of feathers. 

"Thank you, Mr. Librarian!" I say with a smile. The man smiles back and he looks friendly enough. I'm sure we will become better acquaintances as I intend to visit often.

I had thought that my life couldn't get worse when I walked in on my fiance cheating on me with my best friend. But after a series of unfortunate events, I opened my eyes in a world that I had only read about in a webnovel, the Erudian Empire, ruled under the domineering, bloody reign of Emperor Helio. 

The worst part?

I wasn't even the main character! Reborn as Winter Royberg de la Erudian, I am the pitiful side character who is discovered to be a royal bastard princess due to a certain physical trait only the imperial bloodline possesses. But I know the end of Winter's story and the unwanted royal punching bag is framed as a witch and killed at age 16 on the guillotine due to the scheming of the cruel empress.

An aloof father? Check.
Psycho half-sister? Check.
Meddlesome author who wants me to follow the script? Double check!

I don't want to die an early death again, so I'm determined not to ever be discovered as a royal again. But the palace guards are knocking on the doors of my home. How will I survive to adulthood in the royal palace and get my happily ever after? And am I really the only person who fell into this world?

Four gods got drunk and made an absurd bet. To be sure they would win without a doubt, they chose to create their own champion instead of choosing one.
This is the story of Emp, created to become an emperor because of an insane gamble. He will need to rise from nothing and claim the continent for himself in order to bring victory to his four creators.
The land is dangerous, a few thrive, some survive and most die to all kinds of disastrous encounters. The gods will have to watch anxiously as their latest creation tries to survive against the horrors they unleashed upon the world for fun.
Emp on the other hand, just feels like admiring the scenery all day long.

In less than two hours, the news that Jiang Pengji was taking people with her to Xiangyang District was spread throughout the entire camp for the wounded.
Some people were severely injured and unable to travel normally, so Jiang Pengji had purposely delayed her departure a few days. They would depart when their injuries healed so that the people could recover without any worries. The troops and imperial guards who were free were transferred elsewhere to continue serving.
Jiang Pengji's thoughtful and considerate gesture moved many people to tears. It also gave her a good reputation.
A few indecisive people finally made up their minds and were willing to leave Shangjing with Jiang Pengji.
"Luo Yue? What's the matter?" Jiang Pengji was sitting inside the tent. She peeled the dead skin off her left foot with her right hand. Her limbs were seriously injured because she had been rescuing people. Fortunately, her body was strong and recovered quickly. The soles of her feet were fair once again.
However, now that her injuries had healed, the newly generated skin was forcing the dead skin out, so it made her very itchy.
Anyway, she was bored and there was no one else in the tent, so she just chatted with the audience in the streaming room while she peeled the dead skin.
Well, the audience said that the streaming that day was particularly unique. The viewers in the streaming room teased her, saying that someone was going to walk in on her. Unexpectedly, someone came into the tent the next second.
According to Jiang Pengji's five senses, she naturally knew in advance that Luo Yue was coming. She did not look embarrassed, as if she had been caught red-handed.
She pointed at the mat not far away from her dismissively, then put her left foot down and signaled Luo Yue to have a seat.
"You don't have to beat around the bush."
Luo Yue was a tough man. He had lived in the imperial guard camp, so there was not much he hadn't seen. Jiang Pengji was just a person who silently peeled the dead skin off the soles of her feet. She was considered to be decent already. Luo Yue had seen the general coach of the imperial guards scratch his buttocks and rub mud on his skin. Therefore, he was very calm.
"I heard that you are planning to leave for Xiangyang District to take office?" Luo Yue asked bluntly.
Jiang Pengji frowned and knew why Luo Yue had paid her a visit.
1,000 imperial guards were still a military force. Small things should not be looked down upon. The 1,000 imperial guards were all young men who were carefully selected, so Jiang Pengji did not intend to let them go at all. She would not agree to let Luo Yue leave.
She sighed and replied, "It's true. Shangjing is a mess, and it's not easy to rebuild it. I heard that the Tsing Yi Army and Red Lotus Group are harming people. If these people are left behind, they may not survive. However, the earthquake has affected a lot of places. Shangjing was affected, sure, but Fengyi County and Chengde County were also seriously affected. There are rioters out there too…"
Luo Yue looked straight at Jiang Pengji and listened to her silently.
As the minor coach of the imperial guards, Luo Yue could act proudly, but he was a reasonable person who respected honorable people.
Without a doubt, people could not find a single fault in Jiang Pengji's actions lately.
"You're worried about the people, and you plan to protect them to Xiangyang District in Fengyi County?"
"If I don't do this, am I supposed to leave them alone and let fate determine their outcome?" Jiang Pengji asked him rhetorically.
"I admire you for your benevolence. It's just that I don't know if I should say this."
Jiang Pengji responded, "Go ahead."
"You only have about 1,000 troops, and the other troops are providing disaster relief in Fengyi County. How can only a few people protect tens of thousands of people?" Luo Yue asked, his tone worried. "Why don't you ask the Emperor and let him make the decision?"
Jiang Pengji ridiculed with a smile, "Do you really not know about it, or are you pretending to not know about it? Not to mention anything else, I had to boldly request for the 1,000 imperial guards that are here. If you weren't here, you would be preparing to protect the Emperor as he moves the capital to Chenzhou."
She was quite blunt. The look on Luo Yue's face changed slightly.
Without waiting for him to speak, Jiang Pengji continued, "You've gotten a point wrong. There are not only 1,000 troops. Aren't there still 1,000 imperial guards under your lead? Have you forgotten why the Emperor allocated 1,000 imperial guards?"
Luo Yue looked awkward. "But…"
"The earthquake has yet to stop, and the people have yet to really settle down. Plagues are spreading in Fengyi County. The people are destitute and homeless, and the rioters have been rampaging and looting… The earthquake has caused all of this. Do you really think that the earthquake is already over?"
After a long time, Luo Yue cupped his hand in the other before his chest and said that he had something else to attend to. He then left the tent.
Jiang Pengji curled her lips. She was in a good mood.
Luo Yue had boarded her pirate ship, and he could no longer take people away.
After a while, the drapery of the tent was lifted once again and someone else came in. He held a feather fan and a wide silk kerchief in his hands. He had a graceful bearing while he walked, displaying the charm of a scribe.
As soon as he came in, he said, "According to what you said, Coach Luo can't go back now."
"What for? There's still a shortage of people here." Jiang Pengji rolled her eyes snappily.
Qiguan Rang sighed with emotion. "Only Lanting can express such bandit-like words in such a justified and confident manner."
Jiang Pengji looked askance at him and answered, "Why are you here? Could it be that you're here to tease me?"
"Of course not," Qiguan Rang responded, "I have nothing to do, so I wanted to borrow a few books from you to pass the time."
A competent teammate could save her from worry. Qiguan Rang was not someone who liked to show off. He usually did things in a very low-key manner.
He usually let Xu Ke and Feng Jin do most things, and now he had a half-day to spare so he slacked off while he could.
Jiang Pengji glanced at him and said suddenly, "I remember that you had a daughter last year."
Qiguan Rang's wife, Qiguan Weishi, was the daughter born of Wei Yuan's mistress, and she was young. He was a perfect middle-aged man, and she was a Lolita. They were a good couple.
After Qiguan Weishi married him, she got pregnant after two years. She gave birth to her first child with difficulty. It was a daughter, like Feng Jin's.
Although the child was a daughter, Qiguan Rang liked her a lot. He mentioned her several times when he was communicating with Jiang Pengji by letter previously.
Qiguan Rang secretly frowned. He did not understand why Jiang Pengji suddenly mentioned this. He responded, "Yes."
Jiang Pengji suddenly revealed a malicious smile and replied, "Okay. I'll show you something good. Bring it back to study."
Qiguan Rang's heart jolted and saw that Jiang Pengji took out four books from nowhere. "These are beginner's readings for your daughter. They're enough for you to pass time."
He looked at them. The first book was Analects for Women.
Qiguan Rang remained silent.
Jiang Pengji added, "Remember to let Huaiyu read it when you're done."
He put the books in his sleeve, but there was a look of a dilemma in his eyes.
"It's impossible for men to just be grandfathers in their lives. They may be a father-in-law, too." Jiang Pengji smiled brightly and no longer had the demeanor of the son of an aristocrat. "Just like you and Huaiyu, you both have daughters and you'll have half a son in the future. Read more, so that you're mentally prepared in the future."
Qiguan Rang knew that Jiang Pengji did not have good intentions, but he still read it when he went home. Then, he felt deeply fooled and almost tore the four books apart.
He then lent these four books to Feng Jin for him to read. He euphemistically asked him to read them to his daughter.
Seeing that the books were the Four Self-Accomplishment Classics for Women, Feng Jin suddenly recalled the conversation he had with his wife previously.
"Thank you, Wenzheng. I've been thinking about looking for two beginner's readings for Changsheng."
Qiguan Rang glanced at him like he was a fool. He walked away silently. Feng Jin did not understand him. He packed up and returned to the carriage.
Wei Jingxian was still in confinement, and she looked good. Changsheng was born at full-term. She was now strong, healthy, and fair.


Jiang Pengji got something called the Court Intrigue Stream System.
System: "Your goal is to become the most prestigious woman in the kingdom (the Queen)!" 
Jiang Pengji: "Okay, System. No problem!"
Years later, she met the target by becoming the most prestigious woman (the Empress).
Jiang Pengji: "Well done, no?"
System: "Why the hack did you fight on horseback? I want court intrigue among the King's women!"

The next day, Adone went to the Royal library, after taking a shower and finishing his breakfast.
He stood there, in front of the royal library, and watched the building that gave the feeling as if it had witnessed the vestiges of time.
He asked one of his guards that came with him, "Go, inform the head librarian of my arrival"
He didn't want to cause any trouble, as even royalty can't enter the royal library without proper procedure. He will later find out, that gaining access to the royal library was like a report card that showed how likely a prince is to be considered a candidate for the status of crown prince and his favorability in the eye of the king which also explains why Adone's sister was able to gain access to the royal library easily (doesn't matter if she was banned afterward). It also makes the standing of the person in the royal clan clear.
"Please wait, your highness, I will inform the head librarian," the guard said as he walked inside the massive building.
After ten or so minutes an old man with a long white beard walked out of the building. (The regular cliché of Dumble##re)
"How can I be of service, your highness?" he asked with neither being rude nor being servile.
"Father, his Majesty asked me to deliver this scroll to you" he gave the scroll to the old man.
The old man opened the scroll, read the letter and then stared at the kid with disbelief written all over the face but he didn't point it out 'how could a five year old kid be able to gain access to the library even if he was a royal'
He let out a sigh, then said "Come with me, your highness"
Adone followed him in the library along with his guards.
"This library was formed by the founder of the kingdom and your grandfather. This library holds almost all the knowledge that the kingdom was able to gather in its thousand years of existence. There are many books in this place that are one of its kind and the knowledge that they hold will be lost if the books are harmed, even though it might cause you no pain but it will be a huge blow to kingdom in the long run, so you must take care of the books that are placed in here"
"You are only allowed to take the books kept in first and second floor outside the library as they are copies of the originals that are stored in a secret location, the books on the third floor are only one of a kind thus you are not allowed to take it with you and even the ones you take, return them as earliest as possible though you are not required to return in specific time frame" He said sternly
"Yes, I know" replied Adone.
"You can take a look, the books are classified according to their subject so we can find them easily. If you have any problems please ask the librarian on the floor" the old man left soon after giving Adone an introduction to the library.
"Where should I start from? Umm... Okay, I will start from the geography and history section of the first floor and then move from there" Adone was so excited that he was not able to get all the information necessary without much of a problem or harassment of his sister.
He went to the geography section of the first floor and started reading the names of the books
"The Borders of Redash by ….."
"Redash…."
….
He collected some books, went to a nearby desk and started flipping through the book.
"Bionic Chip start collecting the data, give it title Redash"
[Beep! Collecting Data]
In a few days, he was able to go through all the books in the geography section on the first and second floors. For this speed he had to daily come to the library to 'read' the books and take enough books with him as well, to read them at his home.
"Let's go to the third floor," he brought his guards with him to the third floor and started flipping through the books there as well, but was soon taken back by the fact that the books on the third floor were more descriptive and were firsthand accounts of people and travelers. 'I should have come here earlier'
*********************************
In the Throne Room, the head librarian was standing in front of the king, giving a description of the activities of Adone.
"He is flipping through historic and geographic books as if trying to find something or someplace. He had already searched through all the books on the first two floors and is currently searching through the third floor"
"What is that brat up to?" The King continued "Let him do what he is doing but make sure to report to me everything related him"
"Yes, your majesty"
*********************************
After six months,
"This is the last one" Adone muttered as he opens the book.
Over the next six months, Adone went through all the books in the library, to achieve this he lived a monotonic life for six months, which caused his mother to worry, but he never stopped only saying that he liked to read books.
"Bionic Chip! Rearrange all the data, remove any redundant data and save it with the title Agartha"

He placed the book back on the shelf and walked out of the library.
He went to greet his mother and inform her that his work in the library was finished but he was forced to stay with her and was able to return to his room only at night.
"Bionic Chip, estimate the time it will take to complete the analysis"

Earlier in the morning when Jak woke up he got up from the bed and decided to gather more information about this new world.
He went to the closet and put some close one, it was a beautiful blue robe made from some exquisite materials and blue pants. 
"Now how do I get to the library, I know it's on the west side of the castle but how I get there?" said Jak to himself.
He went to the door and opened it, on the other side there were two guards in heavy armor standing on each side of the door. When they saw him they bowed.
"Young Master" said the guards.
"How can I go to the library?" Asked Jak.
One of the guards said. "It's on the west side os the Castel, but may get lost, it's better if one of the maids take you there young master."
"Go call one of theme to take me there then" said Jak, then he went back inside his room and waited.
After a while there was a knocking on the door.
"Come in. Oh its you Maria, good, take me to the library." Said Jak in a kinda friendly tone, after all she was one of the first persons he interacted after coming to this world.
"Yes young master." she responded in the same robotic manner.

Fifteen minutes later after walking through some corridors and a beautiful garden they came to a door that was guarded by ten guards, the door seemed to be made from some extremely heavy material, but it also seemed like it was made of wood. When the ten guards saw him they bowed.
"Open the door" said Jak
"Yes young master" said one of the guards who had a a red helmet. He was a big men, at lest 2.1 meters tall with a slight smile and kind eyes. 
Then five of the guards pushed one side of the door and the other five pushed the other door, Jak was stunned, it took ten powerful men to open the door to the library. 
"Is this the first time that young master saw a door made of thunderwood?" asked the guard with the red helmet.
"Yes, what is this thunderwood, what does it do?" Jak asked.
"Actually young master, not every one of the noble families can have a door made of thunderwood, not just becous it is expensive, but becous you also need a mage to carve in runes on the door and armor, if you look closely you can see the runes carved in our armors and the door." said the red helmet guard.
Jak was astonished." So the runes on the door is like a keyhole and you guys are like the key to open the door." said Jak" It is empressive but nothink especial".
"Yes you can say that we are like the key, but actually the most importante parte is, that if someone tries to enter by force the door will repel them using the power of thunder, that is naturally formed in the thunderwood, the power is so great that it could kill us ten if we didn't had the rune armors."
" Oh my God, just a simple door can have such power" Jak said inside his head.
Jak suddenly thought of something "How do I get out after you close the door?" He asked
"You don't have to worry young master, when you want to get out the door will automatically open, you just have to knock two times" 
"Magic is really amazing" thought Jak to himself. 
"Let's go in" he said to Maria next to him.
After they went in, one of the guards said to the red helmet men. "Captain is this the bastard child that the Lord brought from some remote village" The man's eyes turned cold, he's earlier smile disappeared and he said in a cold tone.
"You better watch your tongue if you don't want to lose it, no matter what he is still the Lord's child" after saying that he shut his eyes and stood straight ignoring the guard.

"Yes captain" said the guard in a frightened tone.

Inside the library Jak looked around, it wasn't a big space, about seven meters by twelve (about 22 feet by 34) there was a big table in the middle with chairs and a big fireplace on the other side of the room, on each side were bookshelves full with all kinds of books.
"I thought it would be bigger" said Jak
"Books are extremely expensive, the Sandford family library can be considered on of the biggest compared to the other noble familys" said Maria "at least that is what I heard in the Castel."
"Good you can go then." but beffor Maria could get out Jak suddenly said "Wait a moment"
"Do you need something else young master?"
"Do you have anymore of that toasted bread?" Jak asked.
Mariana was slightly stunned, why was the young master asking for that tasteless bread if he could have anything he wanted, even so she took the small bag from her waist and handed it to him.
"Thaks" said Jak "Now you can go."
After she went Jak looked at the books around him.
"Well I better get started, if I am correct there is something different about my eyes it shouldn't take me too long to finish all these books. It must be said that the Standford library really had a lot of books from plants and animals to history and geography, there was even a introduction book about  magic.

In another part of the Castel, in a dark room with a weak light flickering, there was a tall man wearing a black cape with a black armor, in front of him there was a middle aged man in with robes, he had white hair and a white beard, blue eyes and a kind smile, this was Master Arnold.
"How is thath brat still alive?" asked the mysterious black armored men. 
"I don't know, I used my special poisen, even if he didn't die, he should have gone blind?!" said Arnold.
"We didn't expect that Standford had another descendant in a remote village, well it doesn't rely matter, the biggest threat were his two sons and his daughter, they had astonishing magic talent" said the mysterious man. 
"Yes when that brat was unconscious, I tested him and he had all of his passages broken, he is even worse then a commoner, hahaha." Arnold laughed. 
"How about the book?" asked the mysterious man. 
"I can't get inside the librery, I don't know who made these runes but they are extremely powerful, it will be very hard." said Arnold. 
"Well you have to hurry, Elliot Stanford will come back soon from the capital, he is no fool after didn't finding anything about who was responsible for his children death, he will rush back, with him back it would be impossible for you to get in the library." said the mystirios man " here is a high rank low quality poisen pill, you know how to use it, you can't lose any time, do it tonight."
Arnold face changed. "Elliot left behind that freak Sam, I don't know if my strength is enough to take him down. "
"You just need to get the book, don't waste to much time on him, with the poison acting the others can tie him down, after this operation your cover will be exposed, you know what to do."
After saig this there was a strange glow and a bottle with a dark pill appeared on the table. 
"Take it" after saying this the mysterious man disappeared like he was made of smoke. 
"I wonder when I can get to the same level of power as the supervise" said Arnold to himself. "well I better go prepare everything for tonight."

Meanwhile in the library Jak was absorbed in the book.
"Hahaha this is amazing I can read and understand everything perfectly" After flipping trough many books he noticed that he could read, memoryze and understand everything, it was like there was no information that could hide from him, he even could deduce the facts from myths based on the information he got. 
After such a long time reading he understood how to use his eyes ability. 
After finishing the last book Jak was preparing to go away, when suddenly he thought. 
"I wonder if there is a secret room like in the movies" he looked around but didn't see anything especial, after a while "I wonder if..." Jak concentrated on his eyes and they started to give off a purple glow, he saw that in a corner of the fireplace there seemed to be a brick that was glowing with a faint light. "haha it worked" Jak was excited. 
He went to the fireplace and pushed the brick, then the wall in the back of the fireplace went down and a small room appeared. It had a statue of a man wearing an ordinary armor with a cape and a hood covering his face, he was holding a book with both hands.
"What it is this book" after Jak got closer the statue glowed faintly and it dropped the book.
Jak was momentarily startled, but after a while he went and picked up the book. 
The book was all black, it wasn't very big,  about 50 pages, it didn't have anything written on its cover.
Jak decided to take the book to his room to study it latter, he put it under his robe and went out. After he left the statue trembled and desintegrated.
