"…You're going to go through all of these?"

The Mercenary King urgently chased behind Cale, who was heading toward the center of the area that was full of thousands of books. He seemed to be nervous.

"Cale, I remember what you told me when you made me the offer."

Bud Illis recalled the things Cale told him the first time they met.

"You asked me to show you the Directory."

The Directory was not a file that even the Mercenary King could easily show others. However, he still brought Cale here, even acting stealthily in the process.
There was a simple reason for it.

"You said you needed to know the White Star's history."

Cale turned his head and looked toward the Mercenary King.

The Mercenary King flinched.

It was because Cale's eyes did not look human for a moment.

They were cold and emotionless. It was as if he was looking at an object.
However, those thoughts quickly disappeared once Cale started to speak.

Cale had not told the Mercenary King much information about the White Star. However, it was time to share some details.

"The White Star is a reincarnator who has gone through many lives for approximately 1,000 years."

That was enough.
Cale confirmed the Mercenary King's expression changing before turning back around and heading toward the records.

Bud just blankly stared at Cale's back.

Pat. Pat.

He only returned to his senses and started to speak after the ancient Dragon patted his shoulders before walking past him. The ancient Dragon was approaching Cale.

"…Eruhaben-nim, are you saying the White Star is someone who repeatedly died and was born again?"
"Yes. He reincarnated over and over."

Eruhaben looked toward Cale who stopped in front of a desk and was looking around before continuing to speak.

"That is why we came here to look for records about him. He should have left traces throughout the Eastern and Western continents during his reincarnations."

Bud quickly responded back.

"…There's no way that we have no records on such a strong individual."

However, Bud's lips opened and closed a few times without saying anything before he stopped hesitating and continued to speak.

"However, it is close to impossible to find traces of him in these tens of thousands of books."

As the current Mercenary King, he had the most knowledge about these records than any other living being.

"Each book has hundreds of people listed in it. It is … Almost not realistic to go through hundreds of thousands of individuals."

He peeked toward Ron Molan before continuing to speak.

"Of course, I have a good knowledge of all of the strong individuals in the past fifty years. Those are considered the, 'currently recording,' information."

Ron Molan was an example of a strong individual from the Eastern continent whose traces had disappeared.
That was why the Mercenaries Guild was keeping his record under the, 'currently recording,' status.

"…Around two hundred years might be doable, but a thousand years is just-"
"Bud."

Someone cut him off.
It was Cale.

"Where is the first-ever record?"

"Haaaaaaaaa."

Bud sighed at Cale who seemed ready to start looking from the first-ever record. He quickly walked over to Cale.

"Cale, are you planning on spending the next few years in here? Hmm?"

Bud was getting frustrated.
He didn't understand why such a smart person would pick such a method.

"I'm sure it will be helpful to look up his past since the White Star is a reincarnator. However, there are 1,000 years worth of records."

Bud picked up a book from the bookshelf and opened it up.

"It has each strong individual's birth, date, and general information about their lives. Furthermore, we also record the powers they use. Each book has hundreds of such records."

Bud had felt like he was going to suffocate when he first became the Mercenary King and came in here.
He was overwhelmed by the information.

At the same time, it helped him understand how the Mercenaries Guild was able to remain a strong force in the Eastern continent without having any land of their own.

They had records that were just as valuable as land.
In some aspects, this was the scariest power.
That was the overwhelming nature of these records.

Bud started to point out the issues in Cale's plans one by one.

"Even if you start reading from the first record, it would be difficult to remember the first strong individual in the book by the time you are only a third of the way through it."

Even a person with a good memory would find it difficult to remember over thirty people's information.
Just looking through three of the books would make it confusing to remember which information belonged to whom.

"Furthermore, how do you plan on finding traces of the White Star? How will you be able to tell which strong individual was the White Star's first incarnation?"

Bud had smelled quite a number of scents coming from the White Star.
He had a variety of ancient powers like Cale such that it was difficult to accurately pinpoint everything.

"Plus, Cale, don't you need to quickly capture the White Star? What you are trying to do will require a bunch of people working nonstop for months, no, years to achieve."

It was impossible to just read and remember all of these records.
You had to divide up the task with others.

Bud then said the thing that confused him the most.

"I'm sure you know about this fact more than anybody else. So why are you doing this?"

Cale picked up the book that Bud pulled out and turned the pages.

Shhh.

The pages that were stiff like new books thanks to the preservation magic quickly turned one by one.
Bud who was watching this could not help but speak again.

"Cale Henituse, this-"
"It's fine for me."

Bud flinched.

He was not the only one.
The rest of the group who were busy looking around at the area focused on Cale.
Bud asked the calm Cale a question.

"…What?"

'What did he just say?
He is capable of doing what I just talked about?
But how?
…I don't smell such an ability on him.'

Bud looked at Cale smile as Cale stopped looking at the book and turned back toward him.

"First, one week."

Cale did not plan on staying here for a long time either.

"I will find the first within that time."

The strong individual he believed to be the first incarnation of the White Star.
If he finds that person's birth and death, then he just needed to look for the next information based on the time of death.

Cale's group knew about the White Star's Dragon Slayer powers and ancient powers. Of course, Bud did not know the details because none of them had told him yet.
Cale's group had a decent amount of knowledge on the White Star's powers.
That was why it was possible to find the first incarnation.

"…How? How will you find the first incarnation?"

Cale chuckled while looking at Bud who was standing there with a blank expression on his face.
It was similar to the expressions people had when Kim Rok Soo had first awakened.

Kill or be killed.
Live or let live.

The war between monsters and humans.
The war between humans and humans.

It was a world full of destruction because of all of that.

Kim Rok Soo had been determined to have awakened an ability that was useless in such a world, an ability that would only help him in a peaceful world.

However, that power allowed Kim Rok Soo to keep living without dying.
He confidently answered the confused Bud's question.

"Take a look."

He then asked.

"Where is it?"

Bud stood there quietly for a while before pointing to a location.

"The innermost shelf. The first book on the bottom left."

Cale walked toward the location Bud had pointed out.

"That book is the first record."

He heard Bud's voice coming from behind him as he pulled out the first book from the bookshelf. He then started to turn the pages.

Flip, flip.

Only the sound of pages turning could be heard.
Cale just stood there reading.

"…Ho."

Bud let out a gasp at Cale's actions. However, he made eye contact with the others before walking toward the innermost bookshelf as well.
He needed to help Cale.
He couldn't just stand there and do nothing.

However, the group of people heading toward Cale had to stop.
Bud was the first to stop.
Next were Eruhaben, Choi Han, Ron, and Beacrox.
Even the children averaging nine-years-old flinched.

Flip, flip, flip.

They just heard the sound of pages turning.
That was why they felt that something was off.

Flip, flip, flip.

It was quiet around Cale.
He was just quietly turning the pages.

That was the weird part.

Bud had no choice but to ask.

"…What is up with his speed?"

Flip. Flip.

At first, it didn't seem very odd.
Cale was turning pages at a reasonable pace.

'…It was as if he was reading a novel.'

Bud then realized that it had been weird from the beginning.

Flip. Flip. Flip.

Cale was slowly turning the pages faster and faster. It seemed as if he was just taking a peek before turning the page.
Bud even had this kind of thought.

'Is he not thoroughly going through and remembering the details about each strong individual?
Is he just quickly skimming through?'

However, the feeling Cale was giving off did not seem that way.
He seemed to be thoroughly reading.

"Cale."

Cale raised his head after hearing someone calling his name.
The ancient Dragon observed Cale's eyes with an odd expression on his face. Cale's expression was same, but his eyes felt cold.
The ancient Dragon could not ask many questions. He used his memory of everything Cale had done as the basis to ask.

"You're remembering all of it, right?"

'You're not just skimming it, you actually remember the information, right?'

Cale answered the ancient Dragon's question.

"Of course."

Cale answered in his usual nonchalant way before resuming reading. His reddish brown eyes looked at the text inside the book.

Flip.

He turned a page.
The information on the page became recorded in his mind. The speed continued to increase.

Bud could only quietly watch Cale.

'…What a scary ability.'

He really thought that this ability was scary.
It was different than the fancy magic, destructive aura, and even the different types of ancient powers. This ability was something that was not visible.

It was so unnoticeable that you would not even realize that he was using an ability if you did not look closely.

It was not an ability that could kill someone, but Bud thought that this ability was really the one that would make it easy to kill or control someone.

Everything would be recorded in the user's mind.

Bud could only gulp and watch.
However, he soon heard someone walking.

"Cale-nim."

Cale raised his head after hearing the cautious calling. Choi Han was looking at him.

"What is it?"
"I wish to help."

Choi Han smiled awkwardly at Cale who was looking at him and continued to speak.

"Of course, I am a slow reader and my memory is not that good, but I thought I could still help."

Cale recalled some memories of his past.

'Team leader-nim, shall I help?'
'Isn't it time to go home?'
'Nah, it's okay.'
'Like hell it's okay. Isn't your kid waiting for you at home? Go home.'
'But…'
'It's fastest and most accurate for me to do it. You don't need to do this part.'

He moved the conversation he had with one of his subordinates to a corner of his mind as he raised his hand.
He then pointed to the second bookshelf.

"I think it would be good to look through there."

It was rare for Cale to not give detailed orders.
However, Choi Han smiled and walked over to the second bookshelf. Eruhaben and Beacrox followed behind him.

Ron stood next to Cale and just looked at him.
Ron's gaze made Cale subconsciously start to speak.

"…What is it? Are you shocked that I have an ability like this?"

Cale closed his mouth after saying that. He was thinking that he said something he should not have said.
He heard Ron responding to him.

"Well, I'm sure you just hid it, young master-nim."

Ron had a benign smile on his face as he continued to speak.

"It's not like you told us how you gathered all of those ancient powers either."

The shield, the fiery thunderbolt, the Super Rock, etc.

Cale had never explained to the group how he had gained all of these ancient powers. He always just disappeared before returning with an extra ancient power.

Cale had a random thought that it would be frustrating to have a group member like himself. The old man continued to speak as Cale found it even harder to say anything after having that thought.

"Looking at the books like the others is not my task."

Ron continued to speak to the twenty years old Cale who was quietly looking at him.

"I am your servant, young master-nim. Tending to your needs by your side is my role."

Ron then just quietly stood next to Cale.
Cale quietly looked at Ron for a moment before turning back to the book.

"…I guess that is your role."

Cale also realized what his role was as well.

Flip. Flip.

He was quickly turning pages as he heard another voice.

"I, the great and mighty Raon Miru can read quickly! My memory is good as well! I am smart, great, and mighty! That is why I will do it too!"
"…I…I learned how to read from Hans and grandpa Ron! I'm going to do it too!"
"I'm already reading one!"
"Noona, you really are amazing!"

Cale chuckled while listening to the children averaging nine-years-old.

However, the large records library soon became quiet.

Flip. Flip.

Only the sound of pages being turned could be heard.
Cale then heard Beacrox ask a question.

"What exactly are we looking for?"

Cale thought about the White Star.

"Gather any record on strong individuals who use the Dragon Slayer's powers or ancient powers."

A response came from someone else.

"Is that power the Dragon Slayer's power?"

It was Bud. He touched his nose as he walked over to the second bookshelf.

"The White Star had a unique scent along with the scent of ancient powers. Then I should help as well."

Bud thought about the information he gathered on the White Star through his scent and turned a page.

However, there was a unique sound through the process.

Flip, flip, flip.

It was the sound of pages turning extremely quickly.
Bud imagined Cale becoming a living record as he focused on reading the record in front of him.

'Mm.'

Ron groaned internally.

This was an area where the temperature was maintained all the time.
There should be no reason for someone to sweat.

He moved his hand.
The handkerchief in his hand landed on someone's forehead.

'…Why is he sweating so much?'

Ron Molan could see Cale who was sweating profusely.
Cale's face had become extremely red as well.

The records storage area was chilly, but Cale was heating up as if he was sick.
However, he did not stop and continued to record the information.

There were close to ten thousand record books behind his back as if they were his footprints.

When I opened my eyes, I was inside a novel.
[The Birth of a Hero].

[The Birth of a Hero] was a novel focused on the adventures of the main character, Choi Han, a high school boy who was transported to a different dimension from Earth, along with the birth of the numerous heroes of the continent.

I became a part of that novel as the trash of the Count’s family, the family that oversaw the territory where the first village that Choi Han visits is located.

The problem is that Choi Han becomes twisted after that village, and everyone in it, are destroyed by assassins.

The bigger problem is the fact that this stupid trash who I’ve become doesn’t know about what happened in the village and messes with Choi Han, only to get beaten to a pulp.

“…This is going to be a problem.”

I feel like something serious has happened to me.

But it was worth trying to make this my new life.

The grimoire materialized in her hand from the interspatial storage ring. She handed it to the old man.

"What? You'll let me see?" The old man gazed at Claire incredulously, echoing her words.

"Mhm. Go on," Claire said calmly.

"Old man, where's your medicine? Claire is wounded," Feng Yixuan exclaimed with panic, noticing her wounds. Ever since they had left the capital, Claire had never said a word, leaving her wounds untreated. Coupled with dealing with the lightning, they had completely forgotten Claire's wounds.

"Oh, oh, medicine." The old man hurriedly rummaged through his interspatial storage ring, the pulled out a small blue and white porcelain bottle. He shook out one small pill and handed it to Claire, saying, "Eat this, I guarantee you'll feel much better immediately. Si Konglin gave me this medicine and it cost me quite a bit to trade for it." The old man said this with a bit of a heartache. It was clear he was only being this generous because Claire had promised to let him see her grimoire. His words were also meant to be friendly.

Claire didn't hold back and swallowed the medicine in one gulp. Sure enough, a cooling sensation spread throughout her whole body, lingering especially her wounds, and her aches and pains quickly melted away. She felt refreshed and exceptionally comfortable. What was the medicine? Claire was extremely shocked. Treatment from priests and alchemists could not compare with its effects.

Claire handed over the grimoire and the old man received it happily. But after he impatiently glanced over the cover, his expression changed.

"Wha-what are these words?" The old man frowned, blinking as he asked. He seemed to be talking to himself, yet also asking Claire.

Claire remained silent.

After pausing for a moment, the old man immediately continued on, about to flip through.

But then something strange occurred. The grimoire remained shut!

"Hmm?" The old man frowned, then tried to flip it open again, but once again, he was still unable to open it.

They all froze. What was going on?

"Old man, are you trying to be dramatic again?" Feng Yixuan asked seriously, his gaze sharp.

"Be dramatic my ass! Which one of you see I'm trying to be dramatic? Would I really open just a book so dramatically?" the old man fumed at Feng Yixuan.

Feng Yixuan froze. In other words, the old man was really unable to open it?

"Why can't I open it?" The old man fumbled around with the book, inspecting it.

Claire was also surprised. Originally, she had thought it wouldn't matter because he wouldn't be able to read Chinese. If he could, that meant he had also come from another world like her and it would be another matter to deal with.

But she had not anticipated this situation. He was actually unable to open the book?

The old man tried to open it while exerting strength, but the ordinary looking book did not budge.

After trying for a while, the old man finally gave up and asked Claire suspiciously, "This is the grimoire?"

Before Claire said anything, Feng Yixuan said a little angrily, "Huh? Old man, what are you trying to imply? How could Claire try to trick you!"

"It is the grimoire." Claire walked over and took the book, also very confused. What was this situation? With a light flip, the book opened immediately.

Instantly, the room fell silent.

Thousands of expressions passed through the old man's face. Feng Yixuan and An Lisha watched on in a daze. Claire frowned, a surge of confusion in her heart.

"Let me see." The old man grabbed it angrily, glaring with wide eyes at the words. But he couldn't read it! Thus, the old man tried to flip to the next page, but he couldn't!

Claire calmly helped old man flip to the next page. But again, the old man could not understand.

The old man turned rigid, sitting stiffly in place.

Claire's expression remained tranquil. She continued to flip the ages and the old man continued to not understand.

"F*ck! Si Konlin, you dared to screw with me!" The old man bellowed, extremely angry. He turned and bounded over to Feng Yixuan. "Come over, boy, check if you can flip it!"

Feng Yixuan obediently dashed over and flipped the pages easily.

The old man's face greened.

"Si Konglin! You shameless old thing! You actually restricted me! Won't let me see or learn? Discriminating against my Heavenly Astral Wind? You just won't allow my Heavenly Astral Wind to be bound to your Golden Lotus? Then I'll do just that!" The old man stood up, angry now, stomping all about.

The other three remained frozen.

"Little lass! You must learn Heavenly Astral Wind from me! I'm going to teach you every single thing! I'm going to piss off that damn Si Konglin!" the old man hollered angrily. Now they understood what he meant by bound together!

After the old man said this, Claire was frozen in place as were An Lisha and Feng Yixuan.

"Boy, conveniently, you should also learn along the way. Your wind blades are pretty good. Doesn't it feel great after being unsealed?" the old man ordered without care for their opinion.

An Lisha was filled with glee. Master was going to teach Feng Yixuan so easily? The reason why she had never taught Feng Yixuan Heavenly Astral Wind is because she vowed to her master she would not teach others it and because she understood how much he cared about it, but today, he had agreed to teach him so easily. And it was simply out of convenience. Her eyes settled on Claire, sighing in her heart. Whether it was because of the girl's luck or Feng Yixuan that brat's good foresight was unknown.

"But, Senior, I am fire attributed," Claire said softly. Meanwhile, Claire had determined one thing: the person named Si Konglin was probably from the same world as her! He was the one who created the grimoire in Chinese. It was only unknown how he had lost it.

"So what? That doesn't matter. From now on, you must learn from me! It doesn't matter how many levels you learn! You just have to learn! Even just one level is fine! Since you know the Treasured Lotus Style, you must learn my Heavenly Astral Wind, otherwise, how else can I anger that old thing to death?" the old man bellowed angrily, then added a little shamelessly, "After all, I blocked seven lightning strikes for you today! Can you at least humor me? Even if it's just one sentence, you must learn it!"

Claire was completely like 囧*. Her lip twitched, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say. The old man sure was strange. Since when was this kind of exchange a thing? Was she even allowed to refuse? Claire felt a bit of a headache coming on.

*reminder: this means her expression turned into the same way the Chinese character looks. It's often used as an emoji

"But I already have a master," Claire said after thinking for a moment. Although she knew that learning the old man's supreme techniques would probably save her life if necessary, she couldn't become his disciple. And Claire understood that being fire attributed, she wouldn't be able to learn the essence.

"I wouldn't become your master even if you wanted me to." The old man swung his hips gleefully. Of course he had a plan in mind. Firstly, the girl seemed to be An Lisha's future daughter in law, so he couldn't accept her as his disciple, or else their relationships would become a mess. Secondly, the girl was neither his nor Si Konglin's disciple, but would be able to practice both of their techniques. What would Si Konglin's expression be after he found out? Just thinking about it made him giddy.

Eh? Claire watched the giddy old man a bit blankly. Teach her without becoming her master?

"Girl, what's your name? It's on the tip of my tongue." The old man stroked his beard thoughtfully.

"Claire Hill," Claire responded.

"Oh good. From now on, call me senior Feng Astral!" the old man instructed, wagging his finger.

"Senior Feng Astral?" Claire repeated. It sounded so weird and was definitely not his real name.

"What? Got a problem? Doesn't this name sound very profound and domineering?" The old man shot a glance at her.

"N-no problem." Claire shook her head a little depressedly.

"Alright. An Lisha, return and do what you need to do. Wait for when I think these two fellas are ready," the old man instructed An Lisha.

"Oh, Master. Ok. I'll leave Claire and Feng Yixuan to you," An Lisha agreed with a smile. She turned to Claire. "Just humor Master for saving your life for now. Even if you learn just one level, consider it fulfilling his wish."

Since An Lisha had already said this, Claire couldn't find an excuse to refuse.

"Wait, what about the competition?" Claire frowned, remembering that Lagark's competition didn't seem to have finished yet.

"You've already brought glory to the Li clan. Don't worry, I'll had over the royal weaponry rights to the Li clan. Also, I'll instruct Shui Wenmo and Feng Yixuan to get rid of the others, then surrender. The Li clan will be considered the winner," An Lisha declared her decision, smiling.

"But…" Claire glanced at An Lisha with a complex expression, unable to speak.

"Don't misinterpret it as us helping you! With your current strength, both Shui Wenmo and Yixuan are not your match! So the winner was going to be the Li clan anyways." An Lisha's expression turned serious as she explained. "Just cultivate here without worry."

When a cold and crafty girl travels into the body of a foolish, man-crazy, young female aristocrat, what will happen?

A young girl, Claire, falls off a horse while chasing his Royal Highness, the second prince, and falls unconscious. But when she finally opens her eyes, her gaze is ice cold.

Soon after, she shines a blinding light that astounds the whole kingdom.

In a world where power is based on magic and power, how would an airhead like her survive?

But, she soon stuns everyone by mastering both magic and Dou Qi, paving a new path for herself.

His Royal Highness, the second prince, was forced by the Emperor to go visit her but was told she was busy.

When he saw the “busy” miss drinking tea leisurely, ignoring him, the second prince’s handsome face twitched.

Her personal knight, Jean, had always looked down at her with disgust. But as he and many others watched her shine in glory and power, they couldn’t help but ask themselves, ‘Is this really the girl they knew?’

"Woah...boss, you sure are great. You killed the monster of the mansion. I expect nothing less from you." Froy said clapping his paws.
"Tsk...Don't praise me with false words. You know how I was bitch-slapped by the monster right at the face, don't you?" Auden said as he looked at the corpse.
"I am weak and that's a fact. If I want to keep on chasing my dreams...it has to change. I need to change this self of mine if I want to grow stronger."
"Well boss, you're great as compared to others without magic and you're improving as well. So, don't get disheartened." Froy said as he walked to Auden, "If you want to become strong then what has to change isn't you boss...if I were to say it then what you have to change is your method."
"You're still challenging small non-magic user criminal so there's no way you can improve by much. If the boss wants to become strong then you should try killing monsters that can use magic from now on. If you keep on pushing past your limits then only will you be strong, boss."
"Oh?" Auden raised his eyes in surprise.
'Is this the same Froy I know?'
He felt like something was different about Froy right now but he just couldn't put his paw on it.
Froy walked to the corpse and seeing the floor drenched in blood, he said, "Boss, isn't this a monster?"
"Yeah...so what?" Auden asked.
"This blood. You can drink it if you want to. You want blood every now and then, don't you?" Froy said.
Auden shot a cold glance at Froy and said, "You...you're seeking death, aren't you?"
"But why boss? This is the blood of the monster as well!" Froy said.
"Can't you see that the blood of the monster is spilled all over the floor...moreover, the blood is touching the mucus, so why the hell would I drink it?" Auden angrily shouted.
"Well, if it's only that then I can wash it for you since it has become dirty and all," Froy said.
Cough~ Cough~ Cough~
'I might die coughing blood if I keep on listening to him...what I said before, I take it all back. This guy hasn't changed at all.'
"Nah...we'll let it be. I don't want you to dirty your paws washing the blood." Auden said.
"Oh...boss, you care so much about me." Froy joyfully exclaimed.
"Yeah, yeah," Auden said.
He was confused at the moment. Even though he killed the monster residing in the mansion, he still hadn't heard the ring he had expected to hear after killing the monster.
"I guess killing the monster doesn't mean a heroic deed. Hah...I did all of that for nothing." Auden sighed.
"By the way boss? Is it because of this monster that this house was called 'Graveyard of Cats'?" Froy curiously asked.
"Who knows...?" Auden said with a sigh, "The secret died with him, I guess."
"I see..." Froy replied shooting a glance at the headless corpse, "I wanted to know since I hadn't been here before but now that he's dead...I guess I won't get any answers."
Both of them were disappointed. But then Auden suddenly heard a ring.
Ring~
[A quest has been issued.]
[Many secrets hide within the mansion what seems like a haunted house. Everything is covered in darkness and unless the host uncovers it himself, the riddle continues.
Objective: Find the secret concealed by the mansion.
Reward: 10 CP and a space key.]
Reward? His eyes suddenly gleamed with holy light. He was now motivated to find the secret that the mansion concealed inside it.
But he had one question, and it was about the reward he would receive after he completed the quest.
'What is the space key?' He asked in his heart.
[For the question of the host, the system would like to answer by asking another question.
What would happen if a Space magic-user creates a personal space?]
'Space magic-user creates a personal space? Well, won't the person just be making a room in an atmosphere which doesn't cause distress to Earth's space so that the person could hide or rest?'
[Affirmative. The space key also does the same and creates a personal space for the host to rest and hide.
But since the space key is still in its beginning stage of manufacturing... it may have some other effects.
It might cause distress in space causing spatial transportation to a random place.
*Note 1: The chance of creation of personal space is only 1% and the percentage of failing is more. Use it at your own risk.
*Note 2: If the host wants to use the space key despite the risk then he can use it, but just pray to God before using it so that the host doesn't end up falling in the Pacific Ocean.]
Listening to all those, Auden's ears twitched. The item was good but there were too many risks...and the system said it was newly manufactured as well.
But it was good than nothing. He then looked at Froy and said, "Hey, let's search for the answers ourselves."
"Boss?" His eyes sparkled with happiness when Froy said it, "Yeah, Let's find out why this mansion is called 'Graveyard of Cats'! After I get out of the mansion, I'll brag to all my fellow catizens how I heroically conquered the place that all the cats including the mighty ones feared. Then that white kitty will have no choice but to fall for my bravery. Quite a good plan, isn't it boss?"
"Boss...?" Just for a moment, he turned his eyes and Auden was gone.
"Boss, we should solve the mystery together. Don't you know that only one person can't solve the mystery of the mansion...you'll need me too."
He couldn't see Auden even after getting out of the room.
"It's not fair. You always leave me alone to search for things."
Or...
"Is it that the boss trusts me too much that he thinks I can search half the mansion alone? oh...I should have known this from the start."
"I won't disappoint you, boss. I will search every room for the secret and will find it sooner than you." He couldn't clench his paws but he was determined, and most of his confidence came because the house wasn't dark like as it had been before.
***
In one of the rooms of the mansion, Auden was keeping his air in touch with the floor as he knocked on the floor.
Knock~ Knock~
"Not here as well..."
Auden was in a hurry to find the secret because if Froy stumbled upon the secret before him then there was a chance that he would fail to complete the quest.
Froy knew that he was a CatMan and Auden didn't hide it from him because he trusted the cat. Well, even if he didn't have faith in Froy, it wasn't like Froy could go just and spill his secret.
Since humans couldn't understand animals or monsters...no matter who of the animal kingdom saw him using Cat Form, his secret was safe.
He also couldn't explain why he was in a hurry to find the secret to Froy because if he did then his biggest secret would be revealed. He hadn't told even Froy that he had a system inside his mind that helped him.
He was knocking every corner of the floor for a slim chance of finding a hidden door.
If the mansion was to have a secret then it was bound to be hidden well and there might always be a hidden room inside a big mansion, He thought.
Knock~ Knock~
"It's dud again..."
He then went to another corner and rested his ears on the floor.
Knock~ Knock~
"Its a dud again..."
He didn't hear what he wanted to hear but his eyes saw something. It was like a notebook that was trapped in the back of the study table.
Walking on his knees, he came in front of the crevice where the book was stuck.
"This book seems suspicious."
"OK then," He shoved his hand inside the small gap between the wall and the table to grab the notebook.
"Come here...little book. I would like to arrest you for the suspicion of holding the secrets of the mansion. Come to daddy, the secret of the mansion."
But no matter how far he stretched his hand, he didn't reach the notebook. His hands weren't long enough.
***
Kirrrrrrch~
With a red face, he moved the study table away as the notebook fell down.
"That was dumb of me to do before. I could've just moved the table from the start.
" Now then..." He sat cross-legged with the notebook all covered in dust in his hand. Patting off the dust, he anxiously looked at the book.
"This notebook was too dirty. I hope it doesn't contain all the dirty secrets of the mansion." He said as he turned the cover.
It was at that moment he found out that it wasn't a book but a personal diary. He slowly began to read from the first page.
*I don't know if I'll be alive till you're born but my son...if you get to this diary of mine then read it to know how heroic your father really was...and if I'm alive then you don't have to read it since I'll tell all the details to you myself.
Auden turned another page...
*The first day when I entered the army, the commander asked me what I wanted to be...and when I said historian, he laughed before make me starve for two whole days. But I didn't give in to the hunger and gritted my teeth through it...I know I'm great.
Flip-
*Today, the commander asked me to buy him a bun...but I ended up eating the bun myself. I am writing while hiding from the commander...hehe, he's searching everywhere for me.
Flip-
Flip-
Flip-
Flip-
Auden when he turned, he found most of the pages inside the diary plucked out or torn. Furrowing his brows he kept on turning till he saw notes again.
*Today the situation is intense here. The meeting is going to start...I hope it doesn't turn out for the worse.
Flip-
*I don't know why I was born? Nor do I know what makes me different but I feel something is going to happen. Higher-ups are deciding what to do... while I'm here guarding outside the room. Sucks to be me for the first time.
Flip-
The writing written on another page was just like a scribble of a little baby as if it was written in a hurry, so Auden had to concentrate his focus solely on the writing for a whole minute to understand it.
*Can't believe they are going to do this...I have to hurry and deliver the message to the commander. If they do that then...
Flip-
"What?" 
Flip-
Flip-
Flip-
Flip-
The diary ended on that page as most of the pages were missing from it.
"What the heck? Most of the pages are torn from the diary. What was the person trying to say?" Auden had glanced through all the diary but he couldn't guess what the writer was trying to say.
"And at first the writer said heroic deeds...but where are the heroic deeds he mentioned?"
"Did someone tore all the notes he had left? But if someone did it then who was it? It's becoming more and more confusing..." 
Creak~
Just as Auden was frowning, the door of the room opened.
"Boss, you're here. Did you have any luck with the secret? I checked all of the rooms but to my catluck, I didn't find any secret for this house to be called 'Graveyard of Cats'. Now, only three rooms remain for me to check." Froy said.
"Did you even check all those rooms?" Auden asked as he put the diary in his back pocket of his pants.
"Yes, boss. I checked all those rooms." Froy said."Have you checked this room?"
"Yes," Auden said.
"Then let's move on to another room," Froy said.
Auden stood up and followed Froy to the hallway as he again rested his ear in the hallway of the floor and knocked.
Knock~ Knock~
"Boss, what are you doing? Let's move on to the next room!" Froy said as he walked towards another room.
"You really are dumb. In mansions like these, there are always hidden rooms. You can't just find the secrets of the house in ordinary rooms. You have to think outside the box. Do you understand... outside the bo-"
"Boss I found it!" Froy said.
Cough~ Cough~ Cough~ Cough~
Auden coughed to the point he was about to choke on his own cough. With a red face, he stood up, embarrassed and walked to Froy.
"Don't take what I said before to heart."
"Don't worry, boss. Except for something, I don't take anything you say to heart." Froy said with a paw up.
"Ha...ha. You sure like to joke a lot."
"But, look at this boss. How cruel was that monster...he did such awful things to the fellow cats." Froy said as he looked inside the room with angry eyes.
"That's how monsters are. I now see that they don't discriminate against humans and animals. Anything that isn't their race, they slaughter them all mindlessly...I kind of now get where the mansion got itself the nickname from...but why did that monster do this to the cats who can't even fight back against them?" Auden said also looking at the scene before him.
The room didn't have any pieces of furniture inside it as the lifeless corpses of about fifty cats were nailed on the wall like some decorations. The corpses were all set as they had no blood inside them.
Auden could see why the corpses were in such a condition.
There was a big round crimson circle in the middle of the floor which was no doubt made using blood and seeing the corpses even a dumb person could figure out to whom the blood belonged to before.
Auden opened his mouth wide in shock... not because of the big crimson circle but something that was written in the wall with big letters using blood. The name written on the wall was very familiar to him...
ASURA!?

In few decades, humanities era of discoveries and search of new technology came to an end.
The world was now searching for next step of progression... not in technology but in Magic. Magic could do it all what humanity always dreamed of.
99% of the people were now able to use magic and remaining 1% didn't have what it took to use it.
The era currently led by humans was undoubtedly the Great Magic Era.
________________________________
Auden was born in this great era but he was one of the unlucky ones. He didn't have any potential in using magic or did he have any superpower that reflected himself. He was just an ordinary person.
Until a year ago, he was but a pebble in a road but now something had changed.
He now had a system helping him.
CM:System

"This is… the Book of Eon Extreme Life?"
On the cover of the book were the five big words, Book of Eon Extreme Life!
Zong Shou touched it with his hand. This body was formed by his mind and wasn't a physical body. However, the moment he came into contact with it, he could feel a cold intent spreading out from it.
Huge amounts of information rushed into his brain, making him feel a little dizzy. He felt that it was extremely profound and mysterious, just like when he witnessed the world open up on the World Viewing Platform.
Who knows how long passed before Zong Shou finally adapted. His eyes were filled with shock.
This book's understanding and explanations of time were really complete!
The understandings he had touched were the most rough and shallow portions, but this was really detailed and involved all laws.
The universe and time were four dimensions, this time plane was like a line, from the absolute beginning until the end. All the paths, all the laws were related to it.
At this moment, the information injected into his soul ocean would take dozens of years to digest
Thinking carefully, at this moment he deduced many things.
The core of the absolute beginning, the two black and white holes, and also this Book of Eon Extreme Life, there were too many things for him to digest... 　　
Among them were some theories and laws that he might not be able to understand n a hundred years.
Only, his heart wasn't willing to stop here. He still wanted to continue seeing, it was the joy of a hunter seeing prey, his subconscious desire to follow the path.
Reaching out to flip to the next page, Zong Shou suddenly felt a strong obstruction spread out from his fingertip.
He frowned slightly before exerting strength. He could definitely flip open this book!
More information surged in, continuously changing. The pages of this Book of Eon Extreme Life seem to have a lock, like a spiritual formation.
Inside it were numerous time laws entangled with one another. After Zong Shou broke through one lock after another, that page finally opened... only to see that it was a white piece of paper without a single word on it.
Zong Shou was enlightened once more. More words, runes, marks, and spiritual patterns were forcefully imprinted into his consciousness.
Not bothering whether he was willing or not, it was just forcefully imprinted.
Time flowed past. Fifteen minutes, thirty, forty-five, an hour, two hours, four hours...
Zong Shou felt an explosion in his mind, and came back to his senses.
Looking at this Book of Eon Extreme Life one more, he was filled with respect.
Within the Book of Eon Extreme Life there were a total of nine pages, in accordance with the Body, Earth, Heaven, Spirit, Celestial, God, Saint, End, and True nine realms.
With his cultivation, he should be able to see the third page which belonged to the Heaven realm.
Only he didn't dare flip the page. This pinnacle book was in essence similar to the World Viewing Platform.
Just flipping open this page had consumed at least twenty years of his life!
He was already lacking in lifespan, and when his second page was opened, his days were numbered.
However just that first page alone was enough for him.
With a thought rising up, a tremble spread out from within his soul ocean. Between the black and white holes, the Eon word suddenly shone with a golden light, and its structure started to change.
It continuously gave out a spiritual light and its height was risen up. A gigantic Eon word finally rose above the other talismans.
The Luck word was also changing, flashing with threads of golden light.
Destiny, life, and luck were connected with one another. Within the Book of Eon Extreme Life, in addition to recording the secrets of time, there was also life. Different from luck, but enough for Zong Shou to raise up this Luck word talisman.
When these two God Talismans were formed, Zong Shou's spiritual power was swiftly expanding, his soul was continuously swelling.
His soul quality was also rising. It was already really pure, but at this moment it was condensing.
With this step taken, he had already stepped to the Ninth Grade! The true image realm, peak of the Heaven Grade, pinnacle of the Heaven realm…
Zong Shou smiled. With this grade advancement, he would have one or two hundred more years of lifespan. At least he didn't need to worry that he would die within a few decades!
Only then did he dare flip open the second and third pages!
It was similar to when he read the first page, but the time he used up was even greater.
Zong Shou didn't try to understand it, just trying his best to forcefully memorize it all.
-------
When Zong Shou came back to his senses once more, ten days had already passed on this empty mountain peak.
Looking at the blue Book of Eon Extreme Life, Zong Shou really couldn't imagine how Zong Weiran managed to comprehend it all within two years and charged to the Celestial realm…
"Oh?"
With a slight thought, Zong Shou used his consciousness to search. Within the book was a ball of barely discernible, but extremely thick time spiritual energy.
If it surged around on the outside it would be extremely vast, being able to cover a tenth of Donglin Cloud Continent, but while gathered into this book, it was condensed into a ball, tough to notice.
When he touched it with his mind, he felt the time flow around the book become really abnormal.
"This is? No wonder..."
Zong Shou thought about it seriously before he realized what was going on. He finally knew how Zong Weiran was able to step into the celestial realm within two years.
It wasn't two years, but hundreds of years, maybe even a thousand years!
As long as there was enough spiritual energy, this item could even twist time. As expected from a godly artifact!
Ten thousand years of accumulation meant the spiritual energy gathered up in this book was extremely plentiful.
It allowed Zong Weiran to advance to Celestial realm in two years, letting him step to the heavens, becoming God realm and Saint realm in just a few years…
Thousands of years of time condensed into two years. This Book of Eon Extreme Life wasn't just a book which recorded temporal secrets, but actually a godly artifact. If not, how would it be able to change and twist his fate?
Only, although this item was good, but falling into his hands it was only a slightly special spell codex.
The spiritual energy gathered up in the book was already mostly used up. Just this bit left behind maintained the foundations of the book.
Bringing his soul to this era really wasn't a simple matter. The merger just now had consumed the Book of Eon Extreme Life in Zong Weiran completely.
Putting it simply, the book currently in his hands was an empty shell.
Zong Shou couldn't help but sigh. Reaching heaven in one step was something that he didn't need to think about.
Following that, he had a thought, reaching out into the air and grabbing a handful of mind stones.
They were all pure blue, all Grade Nine mind stones belonging to the Time Element.　　
There were very few beasts who grasped the secrets of time. During the Cloud Desolate Era, god beasts were also rare. As such, these types of beast crystals were naturally extremely rare, only mind stone mines were able to produce them.
However the chances were also extremely low. Their value was ten times that of same grade mind stones.
These few in his hands, just two alone would be able to exchange for a Grade One Xuan Grade mind stone.
Items in heaven and earth were all split into Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang grades. In the Cloud World, all the mind stone mines were of the most basic Huang grade. In the eyes of those spirit and celestial realm cultivators, they were all useless items.
Only the special time and space mind stones were precious and valuable.
At this moment Zong Shou didn't hesitate to rip them all up. Instantly an extremely pure time spiritual energy spurted out.
As expected, the Book of Eon Extreme Life didn't hesitate to absorb it all. Zong Shou could clearly feel that the spiritual energy within grew by a certain amount.
He then activated the book to slow down the time flow around his body. He meditated, forgetting all about his senses as he waited quietly.
It could be just a moment, or maybe several days and months. Only when Zong Shou felt that the Book couldn't be maintained did he open his eyes.
Looking into the sky, he deduced the time through the movement of the stars, and his pupils were filled with bitterness.
Only three days had passed, three days of time gathered in that moment. Ten Grade Nine mind stones and the energy they provided was all consumed.
Which meant that even if he threw in all his finances, he would only be able to slow down fifty days of time.
Fifty days, how helpful would that be for him?
Unless he had more blue mind stones...
A bright light shone in Zong shou's eyes. Near Gantian Mountain there were two large mind stone mines about to form. In the Donglin Cloud Continent, he also knew about many mind stone mines which were about to appear. One of them was also top grade.
However, these were far from enough!
Thinking about how it was not possible to snatch food from Great Shang and the various sects, the other Cloud Continents were also too far away. The ones in power there were all Shrines.
The only way would be the outside region, did he really have to conquer other worlds?
If he had enough mind stones, he could use this Book of Eon Extreme Life to search for the extreme of the martial path!
Thinking about that, Zong Shou felt a chill run down his spine. Why would he have such thoughts?
Conquer outside regions? That was really filled with ambition…
He broke out into a laugh. As expected, he wouldn't stop at anything for what he wanted.
In the past, Gantian Mountain was a burden he wanted to get rid of it. At this moment, he felt about how this power could help him reach the peak of the sword path, and thus he was thinking about how to make use of it.
He was lazy to dwell on it as he stood up. Reaching out with his hand, a dragon roar sounded in the region.
Nearby, six two-mile long spiritual veins were drawn over by him. They were split into yin and yang-natured, filled with bits of lightning, six heaven veins.
They charged into his body at pretty much the same time, forcefully being drawn into his meridians as they started to cycle. Just moments later they were tamed and bound, filled with his mark.
Zong Shou's martial path intent had long reached the soul realm. The barrier between Grade Seven and Eight was non-existent to him.
He absorbed the essence energy of Shenxiao to help him wash his bones and marrow. Weeks passed as they stabilized, his physical body getting stronger.
The internal energy of the martial path when one stepped into Grade Eight was just a matter of things falling in place, it was just so simple...　


Zong Shou awakened from a dream and realised that he had crossed into a world 10,000 years in the past. An era before the God Emperor appeared.
What is a God Emperor? Invincible in all parts of the universe, the ruler of the world!
Zong Shou who was half human half monster, with such a weak body, would begin his journey here. To rise up in this bloody and heartless era, onto a path of lustful life surrounded by beauties, looking down on all life with disdain.

Death dismissed his two servants and started reading Lucifer's book, the book of the Unseen. 

He used his power to flip through the pages and to made it stop on the page that he deemed as necessary for answering his curiosity on how a mere human can see an immortal God like himself.

The first reason possible written on the book on how can a human see a God is

The God himself gave permission to the human to see him.

Well, i definitely did not gave that woman my permission. So this reason is cancelled out. 

The second reason is that the human already died or was already in his or her deathbed. This reason is also cancelled out because that woman is still alive and kicking.

Death cursed but continued to find a reliable reason inscribed from the book.

Okay. Here's another one. 

The human bears a curse of committing a grave sin in the future that can cause a God's downfall. 

Is this book even legit? How can a mere human be a God's weakness? I should've reminded myself not to trust things coming from Lucifer. That despicable bastard! I'll visit him one of these days and beat him to death. Oh. That's right. He's also immortal!

Damn.

He scans through the whole book for almost an hour, but he didn't find anything that can be helpful on what he is experiencing right now. 

I am a God for God's sake! Shit. That sounds so redundant. 

He threw the book of the Unseen away, and started to read the book of the Revelations. This book better give me the answers I needed or else I won't send any souls to heaven or hell for the next hundred of years!

As he used his power again to flip through the pages, it also gave him three possible reasons on how can a human see a God.

One, the human was a child of one of the lightning servants of the God of heaven. 

Lightning servants were humans chosen by God of heaven to serve Him after their death. Vainos is an example of a lightning servant. But these human possessed a birthmark on their wrists in a shape of a rose. 

Death closed his eyes and started to recall his interactions with that woman.

Nope. No birthmark. 

He moved on to the second reason. The human escaped the Judgement from Death. 

Death was sure he never saw this woman before, and she has never stepped in into his trial grounds. Because he always keep the records of the departed souls just in case he messed up and ended up sending someone in the wrong destination. Which never ever happened. And Death is proud of his clean record, and that the two Gods from heaven and hell were pleased with the souls he has been giving them.

This book is also thrash! He was about to threw it away but clouds started forming in front of him and one sentence popped up from it.

"The human will be the God's Achilles heel" 

Achilles heel. Weakness. 

Oh, I need to pay close attention to this woman. Reaaaaaally close. I don't care is she sucks up the air that surrounds me. But she ain't going anywhere far from me. If this woman is a weakness of mine, Lucifer, or God, then I better make sure that I'll prevent that woman to do something that could make our downfall happen.

Elaia is a sickly woman, in her journey on figuring out the exact date of her death so that she can prepare her loved ones, she met Death himself. 

What if Death's first love is someone he doesn't want to die? Oh, the irony.

The answer from Old Time Tea was rather puzzling to the other elfins. Everyone could see that Zhang Zian was sound asleep. It did not need to state the obvious to them.
"According to my analysis, he does not have any physical problems. He is merely asleep, although...this kind of sleep is very abnormal. Sihwa's voice is so loud that he should have been awoken by it a long time ago."
Old Time Tea explained while using his claws to open his eyelids again. "You see, his eye is moving quickly. Humans have given this kind of sleep a name. It is called 'rapid eye movement sleep,' which means he is dreaming some sort of lifelike dream... The problem is that it is a rather shallow type of sleep. He should have already woken up."
"So why didn't he wake up?" Fina suppressed her anger. "Is this possible that he's deliberately pretending to be asleep when, in fact, he is already awake?"
"This... I believe that this is unlikely because the human eye is very sensitive. I just used my claws to pull up his eyelids. He should...have an instinctive dodge response," Old Time Tea said. "However, he seems to be able to restrain this instinct, and to do that, you have to practice for a long time. However, I don't think he would have spent so much time practicing just for a joke..."
This analysis was reasonable, and Fina couldn't find anything wrong with it. This was because Zhang Zian had always adhered to the principle of maximizing the benefits per unit of time, and so he would not waste so much preparation time to crack a joke that would only work once...
"Then why didn't he wake up?" Fina's anger disappeared. She turned to the bathroom and said, "Shut up! So noisy!"
Sihwa was shocked and shut her mouth.
"I don't know." Old Time Tea shook his head and looked around. "Who was the first to wake up?"
"I woke up once, but I didn't know what time it was. I heard the sound of the quilt on the bed, but it was still early. I thought he was getting up to go to the bathroom and didn't care. Then I fell asleep again," Vladimir said, raising his paw.
"Apart from Vladimir?" Old Time Tea asked with a nod.
Famous took a step forward. "When I woke up, I saw Galaxy sitting on the edge of the bed. You all shouldn't have been up yet."
Everyone's eyes focused on Galaxy.
"Meow!" Galaxy shook his head in a rare way, and his eyes held a look of confusion and helplessness. "Galaxy felt great sadness and woke up. Zhang Zian... He himself chose to be asleep."
What?
Old Time Tea's words had been puzzling enough, and Galaxy's were even worse.
"He chose to sleep? Why does he want to sleep? Who gave him the right to sleep? Did I not treat him well, so much so that he decided to go on a strike?" Fina was furious. Originally, she'd still been a little worried, but now that she'd heard that he had chosen to sleep... What did this mean?
"Hey! You idiot, get up and shove sh*t away!" Richard jumped onto Zhang Zian's back and stepped all over his back, neck, and head.
The other elfins laughed a little and relaxed a lot after hearing this.
"Maybe he is really tired. Then we should let him sleep for a while. Take a rest now and work harder later!" Vladimir said.
Old Time Tea still had a puzzled look on its face. Whether or not he chose to sleep, his being asleep despite all this noise was absolutely not normal.
"Then... When will he wake up?"
Old Time Tea generally did not ask Galaxy about issues about the future, but today the situation was special. It must be asked clearly so that it could decide what to do later.
"Meow... Galaxy does not know. He may wake up, or he may not wake up... It all depends on whether he wants to wake up." Galaxy sadly lowered his head.
Anyone present would know that Galaxy's power was unfathomable. If anyone wanted to harm Zhang Zian, or if something around him may lead to his injury or death, Galaxy would definitely be able to predict it and stop it from happening in advance. If he could not do that, he would guide other elfins to stop it.
However, if Zhang Zian chose to sleep, who could stop it?
"Is there another way?" asked Old Time Tea.
"Meow... Galaxy does not know." Galaxy shook his head.
Galaxy could see the future, but if it was something that had already happened, it could not be traced back.
"Scratch!"
Pi patted its chest and volunteered its service.
It put on some glasses and began to flip through the Untitled Book.
Everyone knew that Pi's Untitled Book recorded everything that had happened in the past. It, of course, recorded everything in the present and the future, but the latter was too difficult to query because there were countless possibilities for the future.
Everyone stared at it moving furiously and was eager to get an answer from it.
Pi flipped to one of the pages. To everyone else, it appeared to be a blank page, but after it stared at the book for a long time, confusion and surprise surfaced on Pi's face.
"What is it?" asked Old Time Tea.
Flip flip! Flip flip!
Pi's fingers seemed like they were dancing. However, besides some sign language that only Zhang Zian could understand, to the other elfins looking at it, it was tantamount to gibberish.
Pi noticed the puzzled looks on everyone's faces and suddenly remembered that Zhang Zian was not there to help it translate, so it typed on its computer. The book said that because other elfins were involved, the relevant information could not be queried.
Other elfins?
Everyone started getting suspicious and exchanged looks with each other.
Zhang Zian had been sleeping soundly throughout. If this had been caused by other elfins, did that mean... a strange elfin had invaded this room without their knowing it?
From the very beginning, everyone had ruled out this possibility. As for why... One simply had to look at all the elfins in the room. They were like a solid wall of iron and maybe even more secure than the safest vault in the world. To quietly enter into this room and do bad things... Such a feat would be even harder than going to heaven!
Although everyone had sufficient confidence in their ability to secure the room, in order to play it safe, everyone leaped into action without asking. They checked every window on the second floor, checked the doors and windows on the first floor, looked for strange smells and footprints, and even inspected the drains of the bathroom and kitchen.
However, there was nothing. There was no sign of a break-in.
Pi's Untitled Book would not be wrong. Certainly, an elfin had quietly invaded the room when everyone was unaware of it. That had put Zhang Zian into a sound sleep. However, why had it done so?
What they did know is that it had not invaded the house via the standard method. It was theoretically impossible. Even a stealth elfin could not fully hide its scent, sound, and footprints.
Elfins that could cross the physical barrier of space... There was only one that everyone knew. That was Galaxy. However, even if it were Galaxy, he would still leave behind his scent and footprints.
The unknown elfin...was like a ghost.
Sihwa had guessed that something happened, but everyone was too lazy to explain it to her. She was anxious and going crazy without knowing what was going on.
Throughout the discussion, Famous remained silent. When everyone's discussion came to an end and there was no conclusion, it suddenly said: "I have to sleep again."

After class, Liu Yang returned straight home, he wanted to look for information about Lyna Oddmind before completing the other quest.
 
This was supposed to be done yesterday, but Liu Yang preferred to be intimate with Rose and he fell asleep on her chest after she hugged him to the bed.
 
When a player sleeps inside the game, he is disconnected half an hour later, this was to improve the sleep of players in the real world. By the time Liu Yang woke up, it was another day, he had to go to school.

By the time Liu Yang's character appeared in New Earth, where he was still Rose's room at the Heavenly Winds Hotel. Looking at the large bed and chairs around a table, scenes from the day before began to appear in Liu Yang's mind.
 
The feel of the delicate lips, the soft breasts, the thin and delicate waist, the warmth… All the sensations and feelings that Liu Yang felt in those minutes along with Rose were appearing in his mind. A slight smile appeared on his face as he thought about it.
 
He, Liu Yang, never imagined that he would be with two beautiful young girls like Rose and Little Thorns. His perspective on life was not that high, he just wanted to earn money by playing New Earth, but it seems he managed to get two beautiful lovers instead.
 
The moments he spent with Rose and Little Thorns began to pop into his mind, from the day Liu Yang met them to the present moment. Although it was only within the game, the sensations and emotions the three felt were real.
 
When it was over, Liu Yang slowly opened his eyes, he had a smug smile on his face. As an ordinary person, Liu Yang could never have had the chance to come so close to the two girls had it not been for his class skills. What he could do was something many could not.
 
After thinking a lot about it, Liu Yang made a bold decision, he would take Rose and Little Thorns as his official lovers, the lady, and the maid, but how would he do that, Liu Yang didn't know yet. This kind of situation was common, having more than one wife in the kingdom of orcs and dark elves, but not in the human kingdom and white elves.
 
Looking sideways, Liu Yang pulled a pen and piece of paper from his inventory, he wrote a few things before laying on the bed.
 
Glancing back into the room, Liu Yang pulled out a return scroll and used it. His face had a solemn look as he left the room.
 
…
 
In a city fully decorated as a festival, tens of thousands of people were coming and going through the wide streets. The city seemed to be having a big festival.
 
In the crowd, you could see a person dressed in a black cloak walking slowly toward a large majestic building that had a large black lettering sign on the entrance, Central Library. Inside the library was gigantic with a very large amount of books, the place looked like a big maze due to the bookshelves.
 
There were very few people going to the library, so the interior was quiet and serene.
 
A person dressed in a black robe walked into the library and headed for the information desk, where it had a middle-aged woman answering.
 
"Hello, I would like some information" The person dressed in the cloak stuck up spoke.
 
"Hello, what kind of information would you like?" The attendant didn't care that the other side was wearing a black cloak. She called the other side as sir because of his voice.
 
"I would like to know where the information about the Great War."
 
"Books on this subject were on the second floor, and the third session."
 
"Thank you"
 
…
 
The person dressed in the black cloak went towards the second floor, he did not draw the attention of other players or NPCs by the way he was dressed, as it was normal to see players wearing black cloaks to cover their bodies.
 
The second floor looked like a little maze because of the way the shelf were arranged.
 
Within the game there was a quick way to read the books, which was just leafing through the book and the information would instantly appear in the player's mind. This was because the information in the books was stored inside the character's data. 
 
Using this method, the person dressed in the black cloak only had to quickly flip through each of the books. However, the number of books on the second floor was absurd, to be able to flip through all the books would require several days in a row. That is what the person dressed in black did.
 
Taking the first book, which was thick as an encyclopedia, and flipping through, the person in the black cloak finished looking in a few dozen seconds. Taking the second book and doing the same thing, then the third, the fourth…
 
The person dressed in black was doing the same thing for several hours straight, he would always take a book and flip through every page before putting it back on the shelf. The other players realized that the person dressed in the black cloak was looking for information about something.
 
…
 
The person dressed in the black cloak stayed inside the library for two full days in the gaming world, after which time he found the information he was looking for. The book that had the information was about the enemies of the human kingdom, Wanted Catalog.
 
According to the book, Lyna Oddmind was the elven princess of the white elven race, she was the daughter of the king and queen, her beauty could be considered the first in the elven kingdom at that time.
 
Besides the information was a full-length photo of Lyna Oddmind, she was quite pretty, her hair was golden down to her round buttocks, pointed ears, sleek face, medium breast, and long, slender legs.
 
The information about Lyna Oddmind was just information about her, there was nothing about what happened to her on the battlefield or her past.
 
The person dressed in the black cloak understood that the information he sought was in another book. This person was Liu Yang, after leaving the hotel room, he went to the library to research about Lyna Oddmind.
 
…
 
 
 

 
 
A few more hours later…
 
After leafing through for a while, Liu Yang found the book he was looking for: The Great War and its conflicts.
 
The book told the story of the conflicts that occurred before and after the Great War of the Four Kingdoms. Each conflict, who were the generals, who were the main characters, the locations of the conflicts, and more.
 
Liu Yang was not interested in the story, he just wanted to know information about what happened to Lyna Oddmind. Skipping the information, he finally found the page.
