In the source world of the “Witcher” game series.

Olivia was only three, but she was currently immersed in the library of the Kingdom of Cintra, all by herself. She had activated a certain “book-eating” skill and was eagerly absorbing the knowledge of this source world.

By looking at the structure of the books alone, anyone could tell that this world’s papermaking and printing technologies were quite developed. These books had not been handwritten, they had been printed. Of course there were also handwritten books, but those were pretty much precious ancient books.

It took a week before Olivia mastered the universal language of this world, much to the surprise of her elders. Her aged teacher immediately deemed her a genius. In actuality, she had only taken a day to master the language. Of course, this was because the game system came with a translation function…

However, after completing the side quest “Mastering Language,” she instantly became more eloquent, and sounded far wiser. The system had awarded her with some experience points and skill points. For example, if she learned how to cast a “fireball,” it might take her a while to get good at it. On the other hand, she could use the skill points and instantly get maximum proficiency.

This gave Olivia all the incentive needed to clear quest after quest. Anyway, if she accumulated more skill points, she could use them at critical times. It would seem like those miraculous turn of events in clutch situations.

Some skills were already maxed out by default, such as “oriental swordsmanship,” “musical talent,” “gaming skills,” “learning concentration,” “in-depth reading,” “acting skills”…

Indeed, these corresponded to her iconic character cards. Additionally, there were two skills that were close to max. To achieve maximum proficiency in these two skills, she probably had to use many skill points. These skills were “psychic cat,” “riding sense”…

This game system had been really well-designed. Although she could not drift Lamborghinis in this world, she could always participate in some horse racing. She could also do some boxing in this world. As for “gaming skills,” she could play some tabletop board games. Apparently, a card game named “Gwent: The Witcher Card Game” was pretty popular in this world…

Olivia had reason to suspect that the skill points was the equivalent to the energy in the previous supernatural world. That also meant that she could extend the lifespan of high popularity character cards. She could also use them on the “Two Dimensional Gate” and shorten its cooldown time. This would accelerate her plans to acceptable levels.

It was time to bulldoze through all the quests. She went for “Mastering History of the Mainland.” She had grown so obsessed with “eating books” that she could never be separated from them. The way, the books that she had “eaten” would also be automatically saved in the “Book Menu” of the game system, available for viewing at any time in the future.

“The four boundaries of the World of the Witcher known to mankind are respectively: in the West – the Great Sea, in the North – the Dragon mountains range and Amell mountains range, in the East – the Korath Desert and the Haakland tribal territory, in the South – the half-mythical land Hannu and Barsa.”

“The earliest intelligent inhabitants of this world were gnome halflings. Dwarves, elves, and humans were outsiders who came by later. Elves were sent down here by some powerful force. Humans arrived here as a result of the Conjunction of the Spheres[1] 1500 years ago. The arrivals of dwarves and elves were relatively mild, but conquest and slaughter accompanied the arrival of humans. Magic and monsters were also the products of the Conjunction of the Spheres.”

“Although the humans in the Northern Kingdom and in the Southern Nilfgaardian Empire were of the same species as they were all products of the Conjunction of the Spheres, they came from completely different places. The ancestors of the current humans in the Northern Kingdom landed in the Pontar Delta after their exile 1000 years ago. However, the origins of the humans in the Southern area remain unknown. List of human Northern Kingdoms: Redania, Temeria, Aedirn, Kaedwen, Kovir and Poviss, Cidaris, Hengfors League, Cintra, Lyria and Rivia, Skellige, Verden, Brugge, and Kerack.”
