Chapter 11 (1/2)

“Who are…… Oh! It’s you.”

Shortly, Leah arrived at the library. She smiled as she opened her inventory when the librarian, Kejan realized who she was.

“It was 50 gold, right?”

“Yes.”

She listened to Kejan’s response as she handed over 50 gold.

“You said your name was Leah, correct?”

This time Kejan asked as Leah shook her head.

“Yes, my name’s Leah.”

“Ms. Leah….here you go!”

It did not take much time to make the library pass and Leah was able to receive it right away.

“Will you be using it right away?”

Kejan asked.

“Yes!”

“I will hold onto the pass and keep it in storage. When you’re done utilizing the library, you can receive it on your way out.”

“Okay!”

Leah replied as she handed her pass to Kejan once more. She accepted the pass and Leah headed inside.

“…….Wow.”

She stopped her footsteps as she awed in admiration.

‘It’s beautiful.’

She marveled in the library because of the books that were sparkling inside. When she saw the twinkling books, she felt confident.

‘I’m certain there’s something here!’

There was something at the library. She felt assured.

It was at that moment.

Squeak

“…..?”

The sound of footsteps made her turn around. She was able to see the person who was making the footsteps. It was a man that looked too old to be called a boy, but looked too young to look like a youth.

‘Who is he?’

She was a little taken back because she didn’t think anyone would be at the library.

‘Is it an NPC?’

Is it an NPC, by any chance?

‘It doesn’t seem like he would be a user…..’

The likelihood of him being a user was remarkably small. In order to enter this place, one would need a pass. And to purchase a pass, they would need 50 gold. If they were a user, generally they would not pay 50 gold to go to the library. However, because she didn’t know for sure, she approached the man.

“Umm, excuse me….”

She opened her mouth as she stood in front of the man.

“……..?”

He looked at her strangely as he heard her voice. She then asked.

“Are you a user?”

There was no reason to drag the time. She was direct with him when she asked.

“Yes.”

Rustle

The man replied and began reading a book. She wanted to ask more questions but closed her mouth and thought to herself.

‘He was a user.’

The man’s identity wasn’t NPC but a user.

‘I wasn’t the only person to think about the library.’

Indeed, there were an immensely large amount of users whom started ‘Pangaea.’ It would be weird if there were no users who questioned the library when it needed 50 gold to access.

Rustle

She turned her sights from the man and looked at the bookcases. She was delighted to see the numerous twinkling books placed in the bookcases and began walking.

‘……..Hm?’

She tilted her head in wonderment.

‘What is that?’

She thought all of the books were sparkling but that wasn’t the case. There was one book that wasn’t twinkling.

‘There’s no way…..’

There was solely one book that wasn’t sparkling. By chance, wouldn’t it be the something hidden inside the library? She quickly headed towards the bookcase with the un-sparkling book and took it out.

“……?”

She frowned.

‘Guidebook?’

She thought it might be a hidden piece but found that it was a guidebook instead.

‘Hey, what is this.’

She was disappointed as she placed the guidebook back inside the bookcase. Then she looked at the sparkling books next to it and thought to herself.

‘What kind of book is it?’

She anticipated what kind of book it would be.

‘It’s not a dictionary, is it?’

She couldn’t exclude the probability of it being a dictionary. She erased the disappointment from the guidebook and took out the sparkling book with much anticipation.

‘Rodin?’

The name of the book was ‘Rodin.’ She was certain it was someone’s name. She returned to the desk and began reading.

‘It’s a travel journal.’

The journal was about a person who left for an adventure and suffered treachery, then met Satan and got revenge and after listened to Satan’s request.

The moment she finished reading the entire book and closed it.

Swoosh

The sparkle disappeared.

“….?”

She was confused. Why would the twinkled suddenly disappear?

“Huh?”

Soon, a message appeared and she was shocked.

[Wisdom has increased by 1.]

It was because of the message that stated wisdom increased.
