Chapter 213: Void Library (1/2)

A focused state was an ability of the Void Library that grants the recipient the ability to remain in a magically induced hyper productivity state for a prolonged period of time, without tasking the brain or exhausting the soul or mana body.

In this state, the user would be able to easily absorb the all magical and non magical knowledge they were studying with relative ease. It was a state that provided the perfect means for magic casters to escape the time consuming process of learning and researching old and new magic.

This ability was the reason Tyler had been able to easily learn the extensive and difficult foundation language that is magic runes. Something that was impossible even for super geniuses. It wasn't a ability that existed in the outside world as the only skill that came close to it was Mammon's skill, Prudent Student.

That skill allows the user to easily memorize whatever they were learning and did not grant understanding. Magic runes were magical in nature and even if there was a skill that granted understanding out there, it would not be able to affect them as they were one of the foundation of the universe itself.

Tyler's current reading speed was several time faster than tbe first and second time he had been in to the library and thus, he was able to learn the entirety of Level 2 and 3 intermediate magic runes. Thanks to that, he had even spent less time than he had expected on this.

Although even with his reading speed that was no doubt being mortal limitations, he had still been studying non stop for more than 10 hours now so it was probably day time outside by now. This showed how broad and extensive just the intermediate aspect of magic runes were.

He had read all the book on more than two shelves before he was done. By now, his personal maid Cora would've attempted to wake him up and might have panicked after not finding him in his bed but Albert should be able to handle the situation flawlessly this time. After all, he had instructed him and Z on what to do. The only wild card was Rain but he'll just have to leave her to Liz.

Tyler chuckled at those amusing thoughts as he stood up, he returned all the books to their shelves and proceeded forward to check out the advance runes. Normally, he would opt to stop right here and focus on learning more useful spells right now.

With the magic runes he now understood, he could learn up to the 5th Tier of magic so that should helpimproved his arsenal a bit. However, with the ability to freely moved through the library at his disposal, he only needed to take the spell books he whanted and store them in his storage at the last minute.

He had chosen not to do that now so as not to waste too much time trying to find the right spells in a library that probably had millions of spells.

He could also just expand his mana body outside of there was no time so he figured now was the best time to learn the first level of advance runes, as that was the key to everything and apparently, Erin seems to think he already knew it and was asking his help in translating them which would only embarrass him if he failed to do it.

However, upon picking up the first book in Level 1 advance runes. Tyler's brow twitched. He could hardly believe what he was looking at.

There was more than a thousand books just on the first level of advance runes but that was not even the biggest problem.

As he flipped through the book he was confident was the absolutely begging chapter in Kevel 1 advance rune, he could barely understand what the hell he was looking at.

Even after spending an hour on that single book, he had barely learned past the first chapter.

”What the hell is going on?”

{Answer: The effects of the Void Library's ability 'Focus' has ended. Due to the library's current unstable state, the library can only maintain this ability for ten hours.}

”Focus ability? Huh, so that's it. And here I thought I've just gotten smarter since my time as a human.”

Tyler sighed but chose not to give up yet, he had gotten a strong foundations thanks to learning magic runes in tbe right order without any short cuts so there was no reason why he couldn't do this. He just had to try harder with more determination.

”Hey Uriel, is there any paper or parchments with pen or quil I could use?”

{Yes, retrieving required items.}

At her words, a stack of pure white paper and the most exquisite quil Tyler had ever seen, appeared by the right end of the desk. Tyler hadn't even been aware that such pure white paper exited in this world.

He suppressed his surprise and took the quil and paper as he began studying again in his usual method when he was back on earth. Even going as far as taking notes and reviewing them thoroughly. This processed took him hours and he tried to give up several times over but persevered.

After about 8 hours of this, he finally gained some understanding in the first level of advance runes but hadn't mastered it yet. He would need more than 40 hours to do so at his current pace and he simply didn't have the time for that as he had a castle to manage.

Standing up, Tyler lazily left the table with a mess as he walked out of that section. But unbeknown to him, the books scattered on the desk slowly began to float as they rearranged themselves in the shelves and the paper tetunred to a clean stack that remained on the desk as the desk disappeared.

”Hey Uriel, I don't suppose this place has somewhere for me to meditate more efficiently does it?”

{Affirmative. Do you require me to transport you to that location?}

”Yes.”

Saying that without hesitation, Tyler appeared in an empty section of the room where a magic circle was constructed on the ground with golden advance runes.

He felt the calming effect of the runes and decided to sit in the center of it in the lotus pose as he closed his eyes and meditated.

Imdeed, he planned to take the risk ones again and try to manually expand his mana body further to contain his mana without slowly destroying him and he figured his chances would increase inside the library tnhan out.

As he sat comfortably in the ground, his Consciousness slowly sunk deep within his soul. Unlike the last time he had done this, he did not spend hours trying to move his consciousness ad the magic circle helped with that.

He also didn't need to wander around aimlessly as he knew what to do and where to find it. With that confidence driving him, he soon came upon the endless darkness where a cracked body made up of only mana was floating in the middle.
