Chapter 204: Libraries Unlocked
Soo Hyuk was looking at the books with a happy expression, soon he moved and started looking around the bookshelves.
‘Not a single book.’
He wondered if there might be a colored book in here, but he could not find a single one.
‘For now, I can read.’
Soo Hyuk checked the time. It was approaching 12 o’clock.
‘I can read about four books.’
Soo Hyuk checked the time and took out 4 books from the innermost bookshelf. Then he came to the desk.
With a happy expression on his face, Soo Hyuk put 3 out of 4 books aside and opened the 1st book and thought.
‘How high will it go?’
His level has risen significantly.
‘Will it rise by 1?’
The amount of reading required to increase his Wisdom would have also increased significantly.
He wondered how much one book would raise his Wisdom.
Soo Hyuk immediately fell in love with the book. How many new books can he read? A bright smile appeared on Soo Hyuk’s lips as he read the book.
Shortly after he finished the book.
[Wisdom increases by 1.]
[Wisdom increases by 1.]
[Wisdom increases by 1.]
‘It’s going up a lot more than I thought.’
It was not even a thick book.
He thought he would be lucky if it even went up by 1. But it increased by 3?
‘If I conquer the Demon World Libraries, won’t it rise again like this next time?’
Soo Hyuk opened the next book, recalling how his Wisdom increased before leveling up.
‘It seems that this thickness usually increases Wisdom by three.’
After that, his Wisdom continued to rise by 3.
‘Time passed so fast.’
After a while, Soo Hyuk, who read all the books he brought, looked at the time with a sad expression and then opened the character window.
Level: 442
Experience: 42%
Health: 109400
Mana: 181220
Satiety: 69%
Power: 30
Agility: 19
Stamina: 1088 [544]
Wisdom: 9061 (+1700)
Bonus Stats: 930
Every time he reads a book; his Wisdom increases by 3. What if he read 3 books and invested all his bonus stats in Wisdom? It is possible to achieve 10,000 Wisdom.
‘I’m drawn to it, but.’
However, Soo Hyuk had no intention of investing the bonus stats in Wisdom.
The Wisdom stat grew steadily just by reading a book. There is no need to rush and use bonus stats.
‘It would be more effective to invest it in stamina.’
Even if he invests 1 point in Stamina, it shows an efficiency of 2. His Health increases by 100 points per 1 Stamina point instead of 50.
In terms of Stamina alone, it shows an efficiency of 4 per 1.
Soo Hyuk, who had been thinking about the bonus stats distribution for a moment, closed his character window.
Then he got up and returned the books.
‘What shall I do?’
After returning the book, Soo Hyuk thought.
‘Should I go and check it out in person?’
He was thinking about the Alcandium Armor Leggings.
He can check the user’s post on the official website, but there is nothing more accurate than going and checking it yourself.
‘Okay.’
It does not take long to check anyway.
‘I have to buy mana stones too.’
Moreover, he had to unlock the options of Mana Storm.
“Archmage’s Subspace.”
After deciding, Soo Hyuk went to the subspace.
[Warping to Archmage’s Subspace.]
After arriving, Soo Hyuk used the Warp Gate for ‘Hard Rock’.
‘It’s also a big city.’
Even though it was a weekday and approaching midnight, countless users were coming and going from the Warp Gate.
Soo Hyuk came out of the Warp Gate and headed to the auction house and opened the quest window.
Mana Storm has a hidden option. Unlock the hidden options of ‘Mana Storm’ by fulfilling the conditions below!
[Rank 5 mana stones: 0 / 10 ]
[Rank 4 mana stones: 0 / 80]
[Rank 3 Mana Stone: 0 / 40]
Quest Reward: Unlocks Mana Storm first option
Mana Storm has a hidden option. Unlock the hidden options of ‘Mana Storm’ by fulfilling the conditions below!
[Rank 5 Mana Stone: 0 / 100]
[Rank 4 Mana Stone: 0 / 80]
[Rank 3 Mana Stone: 0 / 40]
[Level 2 Mana Stone: 0 / 20]
Quest Reward: Unlocks Mana Storm 2nd option.
You must complete the quest ‘Mana Storm 1’ to proceed.
Looking at the quest, Soo Hyuk thought.
‘It’s not much.’
Tier 5 is 10 gold.
Tier 4 is 50 gold.
Tier 3 is 200 gold.
Tier 2 is 1000 gold.
It costs only 46,000 gold to unlock the two options.
It was very small compared to the gold that went into Retem’s and Altem’s Rings options when he unlocked them.
‘Ah…’
Then, Soo Hyuk thought about the quest that suddenly appeared.
Endure the attacks and grow your stamina!
[Damage received: 530,147 / 10,000,000]
Quest Reward: Stat increase.
Damage received is initialized to 0 upon death.
‘I have to complete this too.’. I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm
‘How can I take 10 million damage?’
But taking damage was not easy. It is not 1 or 2 million but10 million? Furthermore, upon death he will have to start all over again.
‘I think I should go to a place where I receive continuous damage.’
In order to break this quest, he would have to stay in an area where he would receive continuous damage.
“I will buy gold! 13000 won per 100 gold! Buy up to 200 gold! Hurry up!”
“I buy equipment that a level 200 warrior can use. Hero grade and above only!”
Soon after arriving at the auction house, Soo Hyuk headed to the left where real-time auctions took place.
It was to check what the price of Alcandium Armor Leggings is.
A real-time auction window appeared, and Soo Hyuk searched for Alcandium armor leggings.
-Current bid amount: 3,000,000 -Remaining time: 67:58
After checking the status of the auction, Soo Hyuk looked surprised.
‘3 million gold!’
It has only been a few hours, but the price has already reached 3 million gold.
‘This will also sell for quite a bit.’
Soo Hyuk smiled and turned to the right.
He started to purchase mana stones in the auction house. After purchasing all the mana stones, Soo Hyuk opened the quest window.
ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm Then he started completing the Mana Storm quest.
[You have completed the quest ‘Mana Storm 1’.]
[The first option of Mana Storm will be unlocked.]
[You have completed the quest ‘Mana Storm 2’.]
[The second option of Mana Storm is unlocked.]
Seeing the message, Soo Hyuk opened the equipment window.
Soo Hyuk’s pupils widened when he saw the options.
‘Oh.’
Soo Hyuk exclaimed inwardly.
_____________
Carla was on her knees with a stiff expression.
And in front of her was a chair made of Alcandium.
The chair was empty. But why was Carla on her knees? *Step* *Step*
Footsteps began to be heard.
Carla’s expression hardened even more.
Soon the door opened, and the main character of the footsteps entered.
It was Erte, the king of Balrogs, one of the rulers of the 11th Demon World.
“You have something urgent to report?”
Erte asked, sitting on the chair.
“Dolgen, Tarman and Elota are dead.”
Carla went straight to the topic at Erte’s question.
Erte, who was holding his chin, frowned.
“To whom?”
“I don’t know. I only knew through the marbles.”
Carla said and swallowed her saliva.
“Were you asleep again?”
“Sorry. I should have always paid attention.”
“Sigh.”
Erte let out a deep sigh. And then he said,
“Then, if they start a war now, it would be impossible to intervene.”
Carla stayed silent at Erte’s words.
“Yea, we haven’t finished the war yet.”
Erte was not waiting for an answer either, so he kept muttering.
They always intervened in every war to keep victory from leaning to one side.
The reason for that was because they were also at war in the 11th Demon World.
The 11th Demon World had two forces, just like the 10th Demon World. Balrogs led by Erte and demons led by Egelas, the Superior-Class Demon who originally ruled the 11th Demon World.
“If one side takes control.”
What if the war in the 10th Demon World ends? Demons may come to support Egelas through the portal. No, they will absolutely come.
Egelas is friendly with the two rulers of the 10th Demon World, Amiletta and Kyrad.
“The fact that the three are dead means that they have made a decision. This time, go to the 10th Demon World with Raymond and Lasita.”
Carla, who was listening, flinched with a surprised expression.
It was because of Raymond and Lasita that came out of Erte’s mouth.
Who were Raymond and Lasita?
These were High-Level Balrogs that played a very big role in dividing the 11th Demon World.
And he is going to send them to the 10th Demon World.
________
“Okay. See you at the Warp Gate in five minutes.”
Soo Hyuk ended the call with Yeon Jeung. Then he put down his phone and looked at his monitor again.
A notepad was on the monitor, and there were many libraries in it. Their entry conditions were written.
Soo Hyuk looked at the conditions and thought.
‘The mark made the entry conditions null and void.’
Libraries in the Demon World must have had entry conditions. However, all the conditions of entry were neutralized with the mark of the ruler, Amiletta.
‘If there is a token of the emperor or king.’
Then what about the libraries in the Middle World?
What if there were marks of high-ranking nobles such as emperors, kings or dukes?
Wouldn’t it be possible to ignore the entry conditions and enter?
‘I’ll have to ask Master once again.’
Soo Hyuk decided to try an experiment with Pavian.
Pavian is the Tower Lord of the Poison Tower. The position of a Tower Lord is never pushed back by an emperor or a king.
What if, through Pavian, he could access a library that he did not meet its conditions.
‘I wish I didn’t have to fulfill the conditions.’
Soo Hyuk stood up.
Then he entered the Capsule and accessed Pangea.
“Archmage’s Subspace.”
[Warping to the Archmage’s Subspace]
After Soo Hyuk logged in at Hard Rock’s auction house, he instantly cast Archmage’s Subspace.
Then he warped to the village where he left Yeon Jeung.
“Soo Hyuk!”
Upon arrival, Soo Hyuk could hear a familiar voice.
He looked at the place where Yeon Jeung’s voice came from. He saw Yeon Jeung approaching while waving his hand.
“See you in Amiletta.”
“Okay!”
After hearing Yeon Jeung’s answer, Soo Hyuk thought while warping to Amiletta.
‘We should finish them as fast as we can.’
He was originally going to take it easy. But he changed his mind now that the library is available.
Therefore, Soo Hyuk wanted to finish the quests as soon as possible.
