5 System (1/2)
Nora now enticed, kept reading. Quickly she read through the pages she had previously skipped and gained a general understanding of her both the empire's history and some of the more prominent and major families. Once she had finished reading the book her mother had provided her she headed towards their family library. Nora had neglected the library while she was deeply immersed in converting the outer-cultivation manual to mana.
Upon entering the library she marveled at the large silver chandelier. Decorated with a series of miniature swords, it lit the circular room with had bookshelves stuffed to their limits lining the entirety of the walls. Looking at the sheer quantity of books, Nora couldn't help appreciate the efforts her family had undergone in order to fill such a sizeable library with such a quantity. Although in her life as the First Paragon she had witnessed far large and far vaster libraries, this library had been curated by a small and visibly declining family. There were no unlimited sums of resources to gather books. No swarms of servants scouring the nearby cities for book merchants. Such a sizable library was an astonishing achievement.
Nora quickly perused the bookshelves looking for books of interest. With her enhanced strength from reaching the first realm of Mana Circulation, picked up a large stack of books and hauled them towards a rather non-descript wooden table in the centre of the room.
Nora decided on the first book she would delve into, 'Way of the Knight', reading through the pages she began to read several biographies of what appeared to be the higher echelon of Knights. Through reading these biographies, Nora deciphered some new information
In a very similar fashion to Nora's old world, Knights practiced knight cultivation techniques. These techniques were very similar to Outer-Cultivation techniques from her previous life. Although the ranking of the realms was different she didn't have enough information to decipher the exact order of the differently named realms.
Once she finished devouring the new information she reached for an odd book which had caught her eye, 'Guide to Leveling'. The term leveling was very odd and she was originally going to ignore it but her curiosity lead her to grab the book. It was a rather very thin and aged book, with visible signs of wear.
Nora flipped over the cover of the book and was met by another strange word [Status]. Mentally she couldn't help but ask 'What's a status?'. Almost on cue, a prominent system alert appeared in Nora's mind.

Nora startled at its sudden appearance quickly calmed as she began to observe the status. Thinking back towards her previous physical state she estimated that the base value of Strength, Speed, Accuracy, & Stamina were all around the 10 range. Her cultivation technique already showing its Divine rank capabilities. She noticed that she apparently had an affinity for mana. In confusion, she focused on the affinity prompt and a new alert appeared.
