Fantasy Libary

It grew within Ark's body. It was something born after absorbing the power of the . It was, in fact, a kind of authority.

This authority was a symbol and, at the same time, represented a supreme power.

This permission only applied to the concept of "armament." Any armament that could affect its wielder would become the object of this permission, including but not limited to weapons and equipment.

When Ark touched a weapon, armor, or tool, he could selectively use the power of this authority to operate the weapon, armor, or tool.

As for how to operate it, he would have to figure it out on his own.

Ark only knew that he had obtained the supreme authority over the concept of "armament," an ability that could even surpass the power of a god!

"...I have a feeling that something extraordinary is coming."

Seeing the golden layered pattern fully absorbed into his body, that was all that remained in Ark's mind.

Unfortunately, before obtaining a powerful weapon, this ability was merely decorative.

In short, Ark was still an ordinary person.

But... this situation was about to change.

Ark was no longer focused on the power he had gained, but instead shifted his gaze to the bookshelves around him.

"Are these books truly complete fantasy worlds?"

Although he had acquired the most basic knowledge and cognition from the , Ark still couldn't suppress his curiosity.

So he walked to the rest area, climbed the stairs there, and after circling the wall in a medium-sized loop, he stepped onto the red carpet and entered the book collection area.

Without going anywhere else, Ark approached the nearest bookshelf and pulled out a book.

Before he opened the book, an idea about the library quietly emerged.

[Open the book to enter the fantasy world described within and randomly draw a life experience.]

[Please note that the administrator will not be able to return to the library until the life experience reaches a node.]

[If the administrator dies in the fantasy world and is confirmed to be irrecoverable, the library will reclaim the administrator's identity and select a second administrator.]

Ark immediately stopped flipping through the book and frowned.

"In other words, once you die, you're really dead?"

After thinking about it, his brow relaxed.

"That's right. The purpose of the is to turn fantasy worlds into reality. Once a real person like me enters and experiences it, this goal will gradually be achieved."

"Since everything is real, of course, there will be real death."

Perhaps, before Ark entered, this world was just a fantasy.

But when he entered it and experienced it firsthand, the world would transform from virtual to real and become reality.

Then...

"Let's begin."

Ark didn't hesitate and opened the book in his hand.

*SWISH!*

The pages of the book in his hand suddenly flipped on their own.

As he flipped through the pages, they completely detached from the book and flew back and forth around Ark as if they had a consciousness of their own.

"This many?"

Ark was slightly surprised.

According to the rules of the , every page in every book was a fantasy life.

Just like writing a novel, some people imagine their protagonist as extraordinary, of noble blood, with a strong background, many cheats, or possessing incredible power. However, some people write protagonists who are very ordinary at the start, then gradually rise and surpass limits.

When the collects the fantasies of others, it automatically filters out those extremely unrealistic lives and selects those that can live reasonably to be included.

Even so, every life has its good and bad sides.

Some start at the top, while others start in disaster. The experiences can be said to be vastly different.

The administrator of the will randomly select one life as the background when entering the fantasy world for the first time. After the selection, the remaining life pages will disappear. Even if they return to this fantasy world in the future, they will only experience it according to the previous life.

After all, this fantasy world becomes a real world once they complete a life experience.

Now, the process Ark was going through was the selection of a life background when he first entered the fantasy world.

Once selected, he would become the protagonist of this book (this world).

If he made a bad choice, he would bear the consequences. However, this process was not influenced by anyone else's will, and Ark could only stand there and watch.

Time passed in this situation, and the number of pages flying around him began to decrease.

In the end, only one page remained in front of Ark.

*ZHENG!*

At the same time, the cover of the book in Ark's hand also emitted a light.

Under the light, the cover of the book seemed to have a line of words written on it with an invisible pen, and the title of the book appeared – .

"Is this the world?"

Ark's face showed surprise again.

*SWISH!*

Suddenly, the life page floating in front of him turned into a beam of light and flew into his mind.

At the same time, the book in Ark's hand also slipped from his grasp and unfolded in front of him.

The number of pages in the book didn't decrease, but the pages were blank.

Because the composer had not yet entered.

Looking at the blank book, Ark stepped forward as if pulled by some force and reached out to touch it.

The next second, he disappeared without a sound, leaving the book alone floating in the air, slowly rising and falling...

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

At this moment, Ark felt incredibly extraordinary.

He could feel himself leaving the ground, but he didn't feel like he was floating.

Everything he saw was tinted white, with no other colors.

The space around him continuously shook, like a scene transition in a movie played at a thousand times slower speed, causing the mysterious library scene that had just occurred to gradually be replaced by another scene.

When the pure white faded, the shaking around him stopped, and he felt grounded again, Ark was stunned to find that he had arrived in a classroom.

It was a multifunctional classroom. There weren't many desks in the room. Each desk was separated from the others. About 20 to 30 students were sitting there. Each student wore a school uniform, making Ark feel like he was back in high school.

At the front of the classroom was a podium with a teacher standing on it. Behind him was a projection-like window displaying a disaster.

"This is the Rain of Falling Stars Incident, an unprecedented major event that changed the entire world."

The teacher spoke slowly in a monotone voice.

"Meteors struck the Earth's surface in the 20th century, causing an unprecedented disaster on Earth."

"There was a meteor shower worldwide for three days and three nights, causing the destruction of many cities."

"In this disaster, the national power of existing countries significantly declined, and the world's structure completely changed. If it weren't for the emergence of a new economy called integrated corporate consortia, the world today might not have been able to return to normal."

The teacher giving the lecture was utterly incompetent, making the students in the class drowsy.

"Also, because of the Rain of Falling Stars Incident, humans detected an unknown element called the Mana from the meteorite group. This not only spurred the development of science and technology but also gave birth to a new kind of human with special abilities – the Genestella."

"Yes, you who are sitting here now."

Hearing these words, most of the students in the class still looked drowsy and couldn't muster any energy at all.

Only Ark, sitting in one of the corner seats, took a deep breath after listening to these words.

He slowly lowered his head and looked at his loosely clenched hand.

In his hand, starlight shone like drifting stardust.

Feeling a body completely different from before and experiencing the power called Prana flowing through his body, Ark understood.

He was now indeed the new kind of human the teacher on the podium was talking about.

Namely – the Genestella.
