A month has passed since Sheng learned how to cook even if he was talented it didn't mean that he would learn everything in 1 months, it would most likely take him about 10 years but the basics will do.

"Sigh, ok I know how to cook but I don't know the basics of this world which is a disadvantage so let's see if their's any place to learn"

Sheng stopped wondering of in his mind and soon ask the civilians if their was a way to learn the basics of the world fastest.

All of them wondered why this child would be asking this, but they told him to join a sect or go to a book store like a normal person

"Ok why didn't I think of a book store? I've never been in a world full of cultivation or read those LN about cultivation but why didn't I think about a book store?"

"Hmm, ok I'll learn the basic from the book store and take in the rest of the information by applying for a sect"

Sheng started to wonder around hoping to find a place with books because he didn't want to make the civilian think that he was weirder than he already was

"Ok made it"

In front of Sheng was a small sized Store filled to the brim with books while the 2nd floor was a place to enjoy some tea while reading but in reality it was a place to read books mind the fact that they only had about 20 books and the place was rusty 

"I was expecting something grand but this will do for now" After he said this he walked into the store and grabbed a few books

"Ok what's the title for this," Sheng dusted of the book and tried to read the book "Wtf, what language is this? This is stupid, am I suppose to learn this language? God damnit!"

The words in the book said ጌልነጎር ዐኗ ርሁረፕጎሀልሃጎኗክ

"Ok" Sheng started to put the book back in its place and started to make fire with his Qi 

"I already hate this world, why do I have to learn this language again?"

Murderous Aura could be sense from Sheng but before anyone gets suspicious of him he stopped thinking murderous thoughts and calmed down

"Welp, guess I gatta take time and effort to learn about this world and it's language" 

Sheng went up to the store owner and asked for a guide to how to read letters and write them

The owner gave a surprised face to Sheng because for a 16 year old to not know how to read would be unnatural but not the one to go into things he gave Sheng A book on how to read and write

"If I could speak and understand this language, why can't I read or write it? This is messed up" Sheng thought in his mind 

Sheng decided to find a nice and comfortable place to learn

~2 Days Later~

"Ok, ok! I think I finally got it!" 

Sheng said with tears falling down from his eyes while having bags under them while his eyes opened as wide as it can be 

"So if this means KILL ME then then it would be ጕጎረረ ጠቿ" 

Soon after those words were said Sheng soon collapsed

After about 20 hours Sheng woke up from his sleep only to remember that he's still a mortal and need sleep

This is a joke novel so don’t expect anything good lol

The academy library was only a short walk away and was quite close to the Elder's Building. The library building from the outside was only a small single storied building and no one will be able to guess that the building holds one of Asia's largest libraries. On the inside, the buildings show its true colours. Instead of a single floor, there were 10 different floors with each floor having a size similar to a football field. It could be said that this library was more than 10 times larger than the Hogwarts library.

This fact is not too surprising. Unlike Britain in which only a single language is used for all purposes, Magical India had more than 15 different official languages due to different tribe's having their very own language. Books written in all these languages were present inside this library. 

One thing I was thankful for in India was that despite there being so many languages, all the spells were in one language, Sanskrit. If every tribe used and taught their own version of spells in their native language, then having an academy will have no meaning. Each elder will teach in his/her language and due to this, the only people who will sign up for their classes will be their own tribe members since no one will be interested in learning a different language just to learn from the elder. If this was going to be the case, then the Elder could have conducted the class in his tribe itself.

Of the more than 15 languages here, I knew only English and Hindi. So I could read only the books in these two languages. The first two floors had only Hindi books while the English book filled a small part of the 10 floor. English was not a common used language here. I had only some average fluency in Hindi so I will have to improve my proficiency in it if I want to make good use of all these books. 

The third and fourth floors had books written in Sanskrit language and I will have to learn the language sometime soon in the future to make my learning process here faster. The language was not commonly spoken in the present era but most of the old and informative books were written in the Sanskrit  language and if I wanted to read and learn from them, I will have to learn language.

Much to my disappointment there was no easy way to solve this problem since there were no magical translators or spells that I could use to translate these books into English. People in India had tried very hard to make this possible over the years but they had failed miserably. I too felt that such a thing was impossible since different languages did not follow a pattern that could be used to magically translate it. Languages did not follow rules and were made by old people on a whim according to their needs.

The people here did invent a spell to make learning language easier though which I am going to make good use of. The spell will make it possible for me to completely learn a language in a month. All I had to do was memorise some books that came recommended with the spell and it will allow me to learn the language quickly. I am planning to use it to perfect my Hindi first and then learn Sanskrit. I did not plan to learn any other Indian language.

The library was huge and I already had a list of books that were recommended to me today that I had to read. I did not have time to waste since I had a deadline which I had to keep. I did not have too much time to waste.

Before going to the Healer section, I decided to visit the English section first since I wanted to see what was available in there. Also it was the language I was most comfortable with in this library. 

To get to the 10th floor, the people here had invented a magical variant of lift. It was a levitating disk on a platform which would follow my command in a way similar to that of a broom and take me to my floor. I liked the idea so much that I wanted to replicate this type of lift in my black castle. I planned on completely renovating the Black castle and this lift was added to the list of changes I wanted to make.

On the 10th floor, the English section was easy to find. The section consisted of 15 large bookshelves filled to the brim with books. This was a small number when compared to the even the Hogwarts library except that the books here were priceless. On glancing through the books, I found that the collection did not have any new books but instead every one of the books was an antique and were more than a 100 years old. Some were even more than 700 years old. Even my black library did not have these book and I wondered where the academy got them from.

The books were calling for me to read them but I controlled myself and went towards the Healer section of the library. I badly wanted to start reading the books but I knew that I had no time for them currently. I could come back here after 3 days and start reading them.

The Healer section on the second was huge with more than 30 bookshelves. I quickly found the books on my list and went towards the Duelling section which was on the same floor. It was not too big just 7 book shelves and I easily found the books recommended to me by Elder Akash. I also checked out the book which will allow me to improve my fluency in Hindi.

The checkout system here was quite unique. First of all, all the books in the library were warded to protect from damage and making copies. At the checkout counter I had to specify the number of days I needed a book. The books had another set of runes that were then programmed in such a way that when the rental period ended, the book will be automatically returned to its original location in the library. The books will also return to the library of I take it outside the academy boundary. I was very impressed by this system.

After checking out the books for 3 days, I left the library as it was time for my next class. The mage sight tutoring with Elder Nainesh. 

When I entered his room he was very excited to start teaching me. I learn the reason for it later during the class. It was due to the fact that my mage sight was different from his and he wanted to compare both and conduct experiments. The main difference was that my mage sight only showed a slight glow in my eyes when activated which his not noticeable while his and his tribes mage sight had tell tale sign when activated. His eyes started twinkling like Dumbledore's glasses when mage sight was activated so he couldn't discreetly use the sight like I always did.

The class was very productive. The method to toggle between different modes was controlling the amount of magic that I sent into my eyes. For the seeing through walls effect I had to rotate my the magic around my eyes. The amount of magic in the eyes and my control in rotating it perfect decided the distance I could see and what I could see.

It was difficult to do since I had not practiced controlling the amount of magic that I could send to my eyes ever in my life. For the first class I did just that. Controlling the magic. By the end of the class I had gotten a slight hang of the method and I could toggle between the modes just for a short few seconds before I lost control. I was sure I could perfect this in a weeks time.

After that productive one hour class, I went back to my room. It was time for me to start reading those books since time was tight. After conjuring a table and a chair, I started reading, beginning with the language book so that my later reading will be quicker.

When Simul said he will teach me to be strong I was so happy! I can finally learn to stand up for myself. I let my legs swing back and forth on the side of the bed.
"First thing I will teach you is how to read." Read? But isn't that just learning from other people? How will that make me independent?
Suddenly Simul got up out of his bed and casually strolled out of his house. Huh, where is he going?
I pranced close behind him and went out into the open area of the market. People were running around trading and buying products from the stalls. But Simul didn't stop here.
He went down south to where the church lay. Hm is he taking me to the church? Maybe I can see if Big sister Cordelia!
He walked passed the big double doors of the church and kept walking down the path. Hm, the only place that is this direction is...
"Welcome to the library that is now not under the control of the church." I didn't understand when Simul said 'under the control of the church.' Maybe it has to do with them being next to each other.
Simul pushed the door open to the library and the sight amazed me. I have never come to the library before, but once my eyes were grazed by the shelves, I felt a little regret.
Shelves and shelves lined with all different types of books! I saw a few people sitting on the ground with a book in hand.
"Most of these books have stood through the test of time. All of them contained knowledge of the past." Simul praised with a soft glint to his eyes. I felt his joy from just standing next to him. I can't wait to start reading books!
"Come, follow close, or else you'll be lost in all these books!" I went up to Simul and held his hand. He looked down at me as I looked up into his dark eyes with bright specks as if the night sky was reflected off his eyes.
We walked for about a minute across the long halls of books and came to a small room with a few chairs and tables that felt like they weren't touched for centuries. Most of the chairs were on the ground and the tables were upside down. A fine layer of dust covered everything. In the ceiling, there is a circular window that drew in some light from the sun. With the lighting, you could see all the dust bunnies bouncing around in the air.
Simul went over to a chair and lifted the chair back up. He lifted another chair and a table. Then I saw him take a huge breath...
WOOSH
He blew away all the dust and instantly the room got a bit clearer.
"Ack" Ouch some of the dust went into my eye. I can't see!
I heard Simul run up to me and felt him place his hands on my face.
"Open your eyes."
"I can't, the dust hurts!"
"Trust me." I slowly opened my wet eyes and looked at him.
Woosh. He blew into my eyes and most of the dust came flying out. I started to blink profusely from his dry breath. I lifted my and up to my eyes and wiped away my tears.
"Are you okay?" He was in a crouched position and looking at me. His face looked like my mom when I was sick a year ago.
"I'm okay." Wiping off the last tear I forced my courage out.
"Let's start reading!" I lifted my arms in excitement. Time to tackle these books.
Simul started to pick out books from the shelves and bringing them over to the table. Opening them one by one he read them out loud to me and started teaching me the words inside of these books.
"What is this word?" Simul tested me.
"Tech-no-logy?" I have never seen or heard of this word.
"Very close, you're starting to get good at reading!"
"This is technology, it means things that are created by people."
"So like this table and this chair!"
"Exactly!" He clapped his hands together and I saw a smile widening on his face. Reading is so cool! There is so much information in this library waiting for me to read and understand.
This went on for about an hour longer. Then the sky started morphing into an orange color.
"Seems like it's about time to go." Simul sighed as if he wanted to stay here forever. He stood up and took all the books back to where they were taken from and came back to help me off my seat.
We started walking towards the entrance of the library and I spotted something cool.
There was a person using magic to put all the books on the shelves!
"So cool! I wish I could do that!" Just thinking about magic made me excited to learn all about it.
"Well, first you have to read and learn things about yourself before learning magic."
"What do you mean by learning things about myself?" I was confused. How does reading books teach me about myself?
"Don't worry too much about it. Right now learn all about the way words are written and about many different things."
Ooo  I can't wait to keep reading tomorrow! I had a little bounce in my step as we were walking out of the library.
The setting sun cast an orange hue on everything as if it were a magic spell. People all over the streets were walking back home. I just wanna eat some of mommy's food!
As we came up to my house it felt like today was very fulfilling and I learn a lot of things.
Creak 
I opened the door and the soft light of a candle bounced out of the door. And oh my Ianite, that smells good.
"Simul? Is that really you?"

—Day Z—

"So, I'll be here for 360,000 days. Midnight, come forth!" "Nyaa!", "Hmm, looks like I'll have to teach you English. You'll eventually learn just by hearing me talk I suppose. Well, I wonder if my stats can go up in here." "Oh, right. There are no monsters. Then I'll just have to learn stuff instead! My 1000 year journey will be to read every book! Starting with Moby Dick.

—Day Z+3—

"I finally finished Moby Dick, maybe I should've read more in my first life." "Nyaa!" "Nyaa, indeed. Next book is Sherlock Holmes, I should mention that this is like an abandoned world, not a world that was never inhabited, I think they made this world from my memories and then got the rest of the information from real world things, otherwise the books wouldn't have been filled out."

—Day Z+6—

"Aaaand, Sherlock Holmes is done. This feels like it's taking forever, I think my delusional stat must be help, what sane person would think to read all the books in the world when one takes three days. This sure is taking a while, but I'll stick with it."

—Day Z+360—

Uhhhhh, my reading speed at first was around 200 wpm and now it's 1000 wpm, no matter how I think of it this will take a long time." "Long? Nyaa?" "Ya, long, years, forever. At least you learned some words." "I think I'll read some online books now. Let's see, The system takes control looks good. I think I'll try it. Midnight, could you go get some food? Thanks."

—Day Z+1800—

"Midnight." "Ya?" "We're going to go on a world tour." "Yayyyy! Tell me about the wasteland while we go." "Alright."

—Day Z+2000—

"Alice? What's this?", "A corrupt part of my memory, best you stare too much, it might pull you in." "Oh, alright then. What are we gunna do now?" "I read all the books in the world, and we visited all the places in the world, my reading speed is instant, but, we can still work on muscle memory. MMA, Taekwondo, Jujitsu, Karate, Military, Swordsmanship, Aiming with bows and guns, pretty much everything." "What should we start with?" "Jujitsu."

—Day Z+3000—

"What are we gunna do now?" "Learn all the languages, you may want to read all the books, but I only think that I read them so fast because of a Skill that doesn't come up in this world." "Alright, first all the languages, then I'll read all the books!"

—Day Z+10000—

"I'm pretty sure we've done everything, Alice." "Nope, there's tons to do. Like, uhh, GETTING A MASTERS DEGREE IN EVERYTHING!" "WHAT!"

—Day Z+100000—

"What now?" "I don't know, blacksmithing?" "Why are you asking me?" "Blacksmithing!" "Alright then."

—Day Z+200000—

"We're pretty much perfect at everything now." "Let's g-" "WARNING, WARNING, HOST IS NO LONGER IN A FIT STATE OF MIND TO CONTINUE OPERATING A WORLD, WORLD SHUTTING DOWN."

—Day Z+359000—

'We're almost there, I'm sure of it. Just wait a little longer, Midnight.' The endless abyss, not a thing in sight, not even my own body is there to accompany me, just, black.

—Day Z+359999/11:59pm—

'How long have I been here? One day? Two? I feel like I still have so much longer to wait, I'll just, reminisce I guess. "ARRIVING AT DESTINATION, PLEASE PREPARE TO LAND." 'I'm here? Am I just hallucinating? I guess I'll see in a second.'

"YOU HAVE LANDED." "Huh? I'm really here? I- I'M REALLY HERE! MIDNIGHT COME OUT!" "So we're here? What happened, I could've swore there was 160000 more days." "The world shut down so you were called back, time doesn't move as slow where you were." "So, I'm really here."

Reincarnated once as a genius, Reincarnated once more as a demon in a world that hunts demons.

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

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

He was really uncomfortable while sitting in front of Elisa. She was measuring him.
'Why are you not saying anything lady Elisa?'
She did not even flinch, just watched him sitting there.
'Good. Seems like she can't read my thoughts.'
"So you are the pupil of Mister Flinn. I thought that you are just as chatty as he, but it seems like I was wrong!"
She said it smiling, while she turned to the window and looked out.
"I'm more of a listener than a talker. Also I'm not the pupil of Mister Flinn."
She turned to him with a suprised look.
"You aren't? Than who teaches you magic? Some other teacher?"
"No. I'm learning from books."
She laughed.
"Noone learns from books. It's complicated! Also the books are written in the ancient language, which only a few people can read!"
'Ancient language? She means english? If it's true, how did elder Bran know I can read it?' 
Than he realized it.
'Oh... He might have read my thoughts.'
"You mean people usually can't read english?"
"English? I don't know what it is. But no. Only the ancients can read the older books."
"Hmmm... But this language is pretty easy. Also we are speaking the same language, which is written in the books."
She frowned at the suggestion.
"I don't know what are you talking about, but the letters are written in a tottal different way, than the elven language."
'Oh right. I couldn't even read a letter from that language.'
He took out the book he took with him to the trip.
"If you want I can teach you the basics of the "ancient" language. I don't think you'll have a hard time."
She looked at him like she doesn't belive this.
"I would like to see how will you do that."
He started to describe the basics of the alphabet, than how to read them out loud. She was like a sponge, every time Joseph tested if she listened she knew everything he said. It took less than two hours for her to learn to read.
"This is amazing. You can read it already? How did you memorize everything this fast?"
She looked proud at the achivement she did.
"I was always a fast learner! I can learn everything really fast if it interest me!"
"That is a really good talent!"
'I envy her. Sometimes I have to read something two or three times just to get the gist of it. Though I know I can also learn faster than usuall people, but learning a lot of things is just too much.'
Than she looked somewhat sad.
"It is not that good. Every time I read a book, or hear something, I can remember it for a very long time."

She had a gloomy look on her face after ending the sentence.
"You can't forget what you want to forget. That is sad indeed. But if you want to learn something, it is really good."

He thought about Leafa while speaking and had a gloomy face as well.
"It seems like we both have something we want to forget. But is there nothing that you want to remember? Keep in your hearth forever?"
She smiled hearing that and looked out of the window again.
"Yes there is something I never want to forget. Ever!"
Joseph looked out as well. Eric was on a horse and galopped along with the carrige.
"That reminds me. We are going in a forest. How do we get through the trees with this carriage?"
She shrugged.
"Master Flinn made a magic that makes small places bigger, so that we fit in between trees."
"That seems interesting. I would like to learn spells like that. I wonder if I can get Master Flinn to teach me spells when I can cast them efficiently."
She looked at him questioningly.
"What do you mean efficiently? Eric said you can cast spells without chanting already."
"It's not a question of with or without chanting. I still have to concentrate on infusing the manna. I'm doing it right now as well."
She laughed.
"You are still at that point? A kid can do it after just a few days of practice!"
Joseph had a supprised look.
"What do you mean? I had to try it hard just to get it work!"
"How did you try to do it?"
"I meditated and imagined my manna go in my blood and than travelling through my body."
She facepalmed.
"Oh dear... That is a really old and useless method. If you want to infuse, you have to just feel your core and than feel the manna surge through your body."
He had a face of confusion.
"Are you sure that works?"
"Try it out if you don't belive it!"
"Allright. Then can I ask you to not speak to me while I meditate?"
"Yes. Go ahead."
He closed his eyes. He concentrated on his mana core and felt it pulsate with manna. Then imagined the manna just go through his body. When he accomplished it he concentrated on the feeling and tried to get familiar with it. After half an hour later he finally got it to work. He heared the usuall window open.
Attention
After learning a new method to work around the problematic parts of infusing the body with manna, your understanding deepened with infusion. The new rank of the skill is "B".
He was supprised.
'It did not just go up to "C", but to "B"? That is really good.'
He felt the manna going around in his body without concentrating on it. It felt good.
As he opened his eyes, the carriage was empty. It was only him sitting in there. When he looked outside, the others were sitting at a table and eating.
'Oh. Is it breakfast time? Why did they not notify me?'
As he left Eric turned to him.
"So you finally woke up. You were sleeping so deep, that we couldn't wake you
up."
Joseph was suprised. Not because he said Joseph was sleeping, but because Eric spoke while eating. As far as he knew noone did it.
'Seems like I misjudged the situation! Hahaha!"
He sat down to the others with a smile on his face.

​​After a comical death Joseph starts a new life in a wonderful new world. Or not! The new world he was reading and dreaming about was not fantastic, nor good. Strugling for survival against almost everything, he soon learns that he has to adapt, or he will perish.

Ur didn't dare to try softshell turtle soup again in the future. She needed to spend her day on the freezing lake to calm herself before she returned back to her house. She wanted to bring him to train, but it seemed that he had gone. She didn't feel worried and went to her storehouse since he usually spent his free time there. Entering her storehouse, she saw him and asked with smile, "Bourne, what are you doing?" But her expression changed when she saw the book which was read by Bourne.
"Bourne, what have you read?!"
Bourne looked at Ur and wondered why her tone was as if a parent had found her children reading a porn book which made him helpless.
"It's a spell book. You sure have a dangerous magic book here."
Ur hurriedly took the book from Bourne's hand and asked, "Have you read it?"
"Until the end."
"....."
Ur had a pretty complex expression on her eyes and bent down while staring at his eyes.
"Promise me that you've never used this magic."
Shaking his head, Bourne said, "Never. You know my personality, do you think that I'll use that dangerous magic? It is better for me to use different magic rather than that one."
"It's good." Ur sighed in relief and looked at him with a stern expression. "I'll keep this book. You can't read it again."
"No, let me read it. I want to learn something."
"What are you going to learn with it?!"
Ur was angry when she heard it. She thought that Bourne was going to perform this magic which made her scared.
Iced Shell
It was the magic which he had read earlier. It is a technique that uses the spirit and the physical body of the user to freeze the target into a block of ice. It is virtually unmeltable as it is not made of just typical ice. It channels the user's body into the form of ice, destroying their body in the process. Even though the caster's body has turned into ice, the caster is not "dead" but alive in the form of ice.
It was very cruel magic in his opinion, if someone wasn't being pushed to the limit or being forced to protect their loved one, then he wouldn't think that someone would use this magic. He was wondering who had made this magic since he/she could sacrifice themselves to use this magic.
"I want to perfect this magic so it can return the caster back."
"...'
Hearing his statement, Ur was stunned.
Though Bourne was pretty indifferent about it and didn't think that this magic was something special. Since someone from centuries ago could develop this magic, then he should be able to perfect this magic. The sealing power of this magic was very powerful, but it needed to sacrifice the user. He wanted to see whether he was able to perfect this magic so the caster didn't need to sacrifice themselves by turning themselves into ice to seal the opponent. If he could seal someone using this magic without turning himself into ice then this magic would turn into the strongest seal magic in this world.
Bourne was pretty indifferent, but for Ur, it was something which affected her world view. If the book told her that she needed to sacrifice herself to turn into ice to seal the opponent, should she believe it? Was there no way to solve this problem? Who made such a statement? She felt that it might be possible to refine this Ice Shell further since this magic was being developed by someone. Then this time, it might be perfected by someone and that someone might be her pupil. Thinking about his personality, she knew that he wouldn't do anything dangerous.
"Alright, I'll lend it to you, but don't ever use it alright?"
Even though it might be possible for him to refine this magic further, she didn't want him to try it since if he failed then.....
"Yes, I won't use it."
Unless, he swore, he knew that Ur wouldn't let him to learn this magic. This magic was very powerful, and knew that he needed a long time. He might need his entire life to research it, but he wasn't in hurry after all since he read this book because of curiosity.
This world was very boring, if he didn't do anything then he might fall asleep without notice. Then he might as well use his free time to learn magic since it was beneficial and also pretty interesting.
Ur gave the magic book to Bourne then she also noticed there were also other magic books which she knew wasn't something that he got from her storehouse.
"Where did you get those books?"
Ur took various magic books which were scattered on the table. There were various types which were both interesting and weird at the same time. Thought there was also a useful one. He had told her before that he was going to learn some magic to supplement his "Water", Ice-Make, and Steam magic, and she agreed to it, but somehow she frowned when she saw a weird magic such as snot magic and panties power-up magic.
"You.. are you going to learn those weird magics?"
Ur definily wouldn't allow him to learn such magic.
Bourne looked at Ur with a speechless expression and shook his head. "I received those magic books when I went to town. It's your best friend who has given it to me."
"But why is there a lot of weird magic?!"
"The price is cheap."
"......."
Ur tongue-tied when she heard his reasoning since it was simple and a very strong reason.
"The stronger the magic is the more expensive the magic book is, but those weird magic books are pretty cheap. Even though I might not learn it, I might able to add those properties to my magic."
Hearing his answer, Ur became curious and asked, "Really? Do you think that this snot magic and panties power-up magic is beneficial for your magic?"
"Yes." Bourne nodded and answered eloquently. "For example, snot is very sticky. I might add that property to my water magic which might be able to add sticky property which makes it into very good trap magic."
Ur was surprised and thought that it was possible. It was possible to develop magic, but it was quite hard. However, when there was model template from different magic then it would be easier to develop a new magic. She didn't expect such a weird and cheap magic book would be able to develop into such a thing. "So what about this panties power-up magic? Do you think that it is beneficial for you?" She felt that it was useless, she also didn't want her pupil to wear panties on his head to become stronger.
"It's even simpler. That magic can make us stronger as long as we put panties on our head, then what if we changed the requirement of that magic?"
"Requirement ?"
"Yes, this magic needs panties to power-up then what if I change it with ice armor? Usually, if we create ice armor using Ice-Make then it'll only make our defense become stronger, but if he adds the effect of this "Panties Power-Up" magic then it is possible to make us stronger when we wear ice armor."
"......."
Ur was stunned once again and thought about the possibility of this magic. 'It is possible...' She felt that her view of the world was being turned upside down once again by her pupil. Such perverted and seemingly useless magic could turn into powerful magic which stunned her. She placed back two weird magic books on the table and sighed.
"You really are...."
Ur wanted to praise Bourne's wit, but somehow she felt quite conflicted since those magics were very weird.
"So is it alright?"
"Yeah... just learn it." Ur gave up since her common sense might be overturned once again.
"So Ur, can you help me?"
Ur nodded without hesitation and asked, "So what do you need to learn those magics?"
"Great! Can I borrow your panties? It is pretty hard to see the effect without testing it first."
"......................."
Staring at Bourne's eyes who was full of innocence and curiosity, Ur wondered whether she had raised him in wrong way. Looking at the "Panties Power-Up" magic, she felt that she needed to seal this magic book somewhere.

An attorney died in 2020 and is being reincarnated in the world of Fairy Tail. Forgot about his identity in his previous life, he mastered "Water" magic. 

Water is made from hydrogen and oxygen. 

Dragon Slayer Magic, Lost Magic, Demon, etc; let's just bomb them with hydrogen bomb. 

*BOOOOOMMM!!!!*

Mushroom-shaped smoke appears and that explosion destroys everything.

Slow pace, so be patient....

In the morning, Ren Xiaosu was doing some reading in the library. Meanwhile, An Yuqian was snoring loudly as he slept in his chair at the entrance.
When the sun shone onto An Yuqian's face from the outside, he would even cover his face with a book to shield himself from the light.
Every morning, when Ren Xiaosu arrived, he would automatically give ten yuan to An Yuqian. Moreover, there was no need for Ren Xiaosu to keep calling An Yuqian anymore as he would be waiting at the door every day at 8.30 AM sharp while yawning.
Gradually, An Yuqian found it extremely uncomfortable that he had to always sleep like that. He used to always play mahjong throughout the night before heading home to sleep well during the morning. But since Ren Xiaosu started coming to the library, he could only sleep while sitting in his chair at the library.
How could sleeping in a chair be more comfortable than sleeping in a bed?
As no one else was using the library, An Yuqian purposely observed what Ren Xiaosu was reading. However, he died laughing when he saw that Ren Xiaosu was actually reading the tenth grade textbooks for math, physics, and chemistry!
Ren Xiaosu's persistence in coming to the library for so many days finally made An Yuqian change his opinion of him. He had thought that for once, a studious kid had finally come to the library. But to his surprise, this studious kid could only read tenth grade textbooks.
Judging by Ren Xiaosu's age, shouldn't he be in 12th grade at the least? So it turned out he was just a weak student who was starting to study from scratch?
An Yuqian counted on his fingers and realized the college entrance exams were only three months away. How could he make it in time if he was still only studying the tenth grade curriculum?
Even though An Yuqian was pacing around him, Ren Xiaosu did not bother looking at him.
An Yuqian could not help saying, "Isn't it a little too late to study now? The college entrance exams are only three months away!"
Ren Xiaosu looked up at him. "I'm not sitting for the entrance exams."
"You're not sitting for the entrance exams? Then why are you studying tenth grade math, physics, and chemistry?" An Yuqian asked in surprise. "Shouldn't you start working at a factory after you graduate from high school? What's the point of learning all this stuff?"
"Knowledge will always be useful, and whatever I learn belongs to me," Ren Xiaosu said calmly.
An Yuqian shrugged and turned around. "Just don't forget to pay for my breakfast every morning. If not for you, I wouldn't need to eat breakfast. This expenditure is incurred only because of you."
"OK," Ren Xiaosu said.
However, An Yuqian suddenly realized that other than Ren Xiaosu, there was another group of students who came to study in the afternoon. There were over 20 male and female students, and they had been sitting in the library all afternoon for several days in a row.
Even though there were also others who came to study in the afternoon, it would not be so frequent and scheduled. Furthermore, their numbers were always the same. This group of students… actually sat next to Ren Xiaosu in an organized and disciplined manner.
After waking up in the afternoon, An Yuqian got closer to have a look and realized Wang Yuchi and the others were reading books related to mechanical engineering. This topic exceeded the syllabus of high school.
When the library was about to close, Wang Yuchi suddenly said to Ren Xiaosu, "Monitor, should we go home now since it's closing time?"
An Yuqian was stunned. The young man who paid for his breakfast every day was actually the class monitor of this group of students? These normal students were learning knowledge beyond their years while the monitor was still studying tenth grade textbooks? What sort of nonsensical crap was this.
Ren Xiaosu took a look at the sky and said, "Y'all can head back first. I wanna read a little while longer."
"Hey!" An Yuqian could not sit still anymore. "Dontcha know it's time for me to leave too?!"
"I'll give you 50 yuan," Ren Xiaosu said without even raising his head.
An Yuqian said unhappily, "That won't do. I have to leave now to play mahjong. Who knows if I'll recover my losses tonight!"
Ren Xiaosu quietly put the book back onto the bookshelf before turning to leave.
The first thing Ren Xiaosu said when he saw An Yuqian the next morning was, "So did you recover your losses?"
"Kid, why are you so annoying?" An Yuqian was upset. "Should you even be asking something like that?"
"Then you must have lost." Ren Xiaosu slapped a ten-yuan bill into An Yuqian's hand. "Go on, get your breakfast."
As An Yuqian held the ten-yuan bill, he felt insulted.
In the afternoon, when Wang Yuchi and the others came to the library again, An Yuqian suddenly sat down across from Ren Xiaosu. Ren Xiaosu looked up at him in surprise. "What's up?"
An Yuqian said, "You guys must be trying to learn more about mechanical engineering, right? However, you're all reading the wrong books!"
Ren Xiaosu frowned. He glanced at the books Wang Yuchi and the other students were holding. "Then what books should they be reading?"
Without a teacher's guidance, they had to learn everything by themselves. It was like crossing a river while holding a stone in their arms. Their progress was extremely slow.
Although Jiang Wu was a teacher, she was only a language teacher.
An Yuqian replied, "For 500 yuan, I'll tell you all what books you should read!"
In response, Ren Xiaosu threw 500 yuan over. Wang Yuchi whispered from beside him, "Monitor, why do I get the feeling that he's a scammer?"
Ren Xiaosu shook his head. "A scammer can't possibly not even have any money for breakfast."
An Yuqian wanted to curse out loud. Ren Xiaosu was insinuating that he was not even qualified to be a scammer!
An Yuqian said with a sneer, "If you want to properly study mechanical engineering, don't try to run before you learn how to walk. You have to first learn math and physics!"
Ren Xiaosu leaned back in his chair and listened quietly. Meanwhile, Wang Yuchi and the others opened their notebooks and were preparing to take notes.
"I suggest you all first read Chen Jixiu's Mathematical Analysis as an introduction, then learn linear algebra. You won't have learned enough about this topic in high school."
"There's no need to read General Physics." An Yuqian threw a book onto the table. "Just read The Feynman Lectures on Physics."
"True Analysis… Forget it, you don't have to read that yet."
"As for the Methods of Mathematical Physics, you can have a look at Wang Dexin's books. All the books cover real functions, special functions, equations, and so on. There isn't much of a difference between them.
"You should also read up on thermodynamics."
An Yuqian kept talking for half an hour. Ren Xiaosu started to get the feeling that it would take several years to learn everything. But at this moment, An Yuqian smacked his lips and said, "And that's just the beginning. If you really want to gain a deeper understanding of mechanical engineering, you're all seriously lacking!"
Ren Xiaosu finally understood. So this guy was just rambling and trying to let off some steam. However, Ren Xiaosu also realized that An Yuqian was not an ordinary person. Even a scammer would probably not recite all that just to earn 500 yuan. Most importantly, no one could possibly teach him how to say what he just said.
Ren Xiaosu looked at An Yuqian and said, "If you teach them, I'll pay you 500 yuan for each lesson."
An Yuqian's eyes lit up, but he immediately held himself back. "But my time is very precious."
"400."
"Hey, why is the offer getting lower?!"
"300."
"Alright, I'll teach! 500 yuan! And not a cent less!"
Only then did Ren Xiaosu smile. "If you don't teach them well, I won't pay you."
"How can I not teach them well?" An Yuqian's eyes widened. "I… Forget it, you wouldn't understand even if I told you!"
But An Yuqian suddenly felt there was much more about this young man before him than he had thought. Would a normal student pay 500 yuan just to attend a lesson?


This is a brand new story.
Survive the darkness, see the light
There is no right or wrong, it just depends on which side you are standing on.
To be a god, or to be a man.
To be good, or to be evil.
Just what is...the highest order of weapon that humanity has?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After a great catastrophe struck, the world was set back many years and humanity started living in anarchy.
With time, society started building up again and people were now living in walled strongholds and fringe towns across the land.
Humans have also become distrustful and ruthless in an unforgiving society where the strong survive and the weak are eliminated.
Growing up in such an era, Ren Xiaosu had to fend for himself.
After an incident, he gained supernatural powers...

Next day, the class started as usual, 
Use of signs, expression and basic language were taught,
101 clearly understood the sign, and expression, but language was still hard to comprehend even for him.
Days passed, the daily routine was same,
First wake up, early in the morning, the class would then start, the children were then left alone in the room, so they could play with each other, none of them knew how to speak, they would simply play with the toys given to them, most of them were in groups,
In order to fit in, even 101 was inside a group, it was made up of 3 kids, Number 101, Number 18, Number 71,
All of them were similar in height,
Number 101 had deep-black eyes, and black hair, Number 18 and Number 71 both had white hair, Number 18 had blue gem like eyes, while Number 71 had black abyss like eyes,
Different types of puzzles were given to them, one of them was a wooden box with holes of different shapes, next was wooden blocks with different shapes, by keeping the correct wooden block in the correct hole, the puzzle could be solved,
Three of them tried to solve it, Number 18 was the first to solve it, followed by Number 71, Number 101 did not even try he was simply observing the other two, he noticed every child in here was unlike normal children, their cognitive and comprehensive abilities were unlike normal children, they learnt in an incredible rate,
Number 18, noticed Number 101 had not solved the puzzle yet, thinking he could not solve the puzzle, Number 18 took one of the triangular blocks and inserted it in a triangular hole, while showing it to Number 101, 
Number 101 looked at Number 18, she was smiling, they could not speak, but from her expression he could tell, she was trying to say, "This is how you solve it, you should try it too, it's fun", 
He smiled a little, then solved the puzzle,
Number 71 did not care about others, he simply looked at the puzzles, and solved as much as he could, in most classes he would be the one who would solve the most puzzles.
In the night most kids would simply sleep for around 10 hours, but Number 101 was different, he wanted to learn, but the situation was not favorable for him, if he could read then he would be able to read books, thus be able to obtain information,
But they had not started to teach about writing, he did not have any books or papers, he could only wait,  
He would also not sleep for 10 hours, he would mostly meditate, it was a habit from his previous life, next he would do light exercise, his body was still that of a 6-year-old, he did not push it too much, 
 
The Days Continued,
After a week, most kids started to speak, little by little,
Some could speak light words, some were still struggling,
Speaking with each other's, helped them improve their vocabulary, 
Small groups started to merge, those who could speak most fluently, were the ones who took the lead,
Most groups consisted of around 12-20 people
Except one, it was the group of only three people, consisting of Number 101, Number 18 and Number 71
Number 71 did not interact with others, he minded his own business, he was like the one weird, quiet and lone kid present in most classes
Number 101 was also similar, when other tried to interact with him, he could simply stare at them with his deep black eyes, the empty expression and the black eyes, would simply scare away most kids
Number 18 was mostly interactive, most kids knew her, she was invited by various groups, but she chooses to stay with the two of them
The reason Number 71 choose to stay in this group was mostly because of the quite atmosphere and an unfamiliar yet strange feeling of similarity, Number 101 choose to stay because he did not want to join any sort of big group neither did, he want to stand out, Number 18 choose to stay was because of the uniqueness she felt in them compared to others.
"101, hel.o..…. I….a.m…. num..be.r…..18" 
"I…...a…m...…. num... ber….71"
The kids started to introduce themselves, today they were taught about basic greeting and introduction
Their voice was sluggish,
Number 101 choose to stay quiet,
Days passed,
The moment had finally arrived, papers and pen were distributed, they started to teach about letters and how to write,
Different letters were shown, they taught how they were pronounced,
In the end some assignments were given,
He tried to learn as much as he could, he tried to soke in as much information as he could, like a sponge absorbing water,
The kids were taken to a library,
The library was filled with simple story books, and history books, the kids were not allowed to learn history right now,
Only story books were given,
Most kids could not read the contents of the books,
Yet, the books were given so they could slowly start to comprehend the contents while learning in the class,
It was night time,
101 was sitting in his bed, trying to read the book, however it was not easy, even if he had 200 years of memories, his mind right now was still that of a child, he could not instantly understand all of it,
He had to read letter by letter, just reading one line took more than 5 mins,
He shook his head, "This won't do", he said to himself
Using his previous knowledge, he thought for ways to learn language faster,
The best way he could think right now was translation,
He would read the contents in the foreign language, then write it down in his own language,
By using his original language as a comparison for another language, it would increase his comprehension but would also require more effort,
He was not afraid of the effort it required, but if someone else found the pages where he translated the book, it would arouse, suspicion, that was a problem,
His sights then went towards the candle, 
"Hehe"
He found the solution
That day he did not sleep much, he spent nearly half a night translating, yet he could only cover half a page, "No matter it's just the beginning"
Other kid even did not bother looking at the books, as they have just learnt to speak, reading and writing was something they just started to learn,
"Did you guys looked at the books", Number 18 spoke, her voice was now a bit clearer, 
I shook my head denying it,
"Only the first page", Number 71 replied
Number 71 was able to read the first page in the night, while Number 101 only translated half a page, this was simply because translation took much more time than just simply reading.
 
The Days Continued,
 
2 weeks passed, most kids now started reading the books,
Some had just started,
"How many pages did you study till now?", Number 18 asked,
"Around 70 pages", Number 71 replied
"Just started", Number 101 replied
However, Number 101 had finished translating around 1/3 of the book, Number 71 was talented, with ever word he read, his comprehension increased in a rapid rate, but Number 101 progress was even faster as his method was superior and he also had a habit of learning new languages,
In the first day he could only translate half a page, in the second he completed 2 pages, in the third day 5 pages, his progress just increased, and after 2 weeks, he had translated over 100 pages,
Not only that he had also gained various insights,
Insights about this world, 
The books given were simple story books,
But even though they were just short and simple stories various things could be deduced from it,
Like what time period it was? what kind of cultures were present in this world?
Those were simple things but it was a start,
 
Right now, simple tests were being taken,
It measured how much a child had learned till now,
In the test, Number 101 would solve only the problems that gave him average results
In the test, Number 71 and Number 18 both were first and second,
Thus, various problems began to rise,
Some kids struggled with the assignment, so they asked Number 71 for help, but he bluntly refused, some even asked Number 18 but she politely refused, both of them were busy studying on their own,
This caused others to feel inferior to them,
Even in such young age some sort of hierarchy was already established
The feeling of inferiority was slowing giving birth to hatred within them.
But being kids they did not act for now,
They kept asking Number 71 for help but he refused, and Number 71 got irritated and he shouted at them, "Mind your own business you brainless idiots"
Those words had now just decided what kind of life they would life from now on,

Regrets? There is not a single person in this world who can say there is nothing I regret, everyone faces mishaps, sorrows, and tragedies, when one lies on his death bed and looks back on his life, and finds nothing but regrets, what can he do then? Nothing, you can drown in sorrow, you can curse your life, but what will that result in? In the end while we lie on our death bed, all we can do is accept choices we made, and pray that in next life you have enough wisdom to live a life without much regrets. This is a story of a king who died with many regrets, but gets a second chance in life. This time will he be able to live a life any different from before?
