chapter 7
I finally opened the door to get out of the shabby building.
Then, instead of the scene I saw when I entered, a different world unfolded.
Shion’s words that if you open any door with a wooden ring, it will lead to the library, were true.
Dojin crossed the door.
The feeling of passing through a dense membrane and the felt world have changed.
It was because of the excessively high mana saturation.
As the pure mana that filled the entire space rushed in, my head was spinning and breathing became uncomfortable.
A hot and painful pain arose in the right hand where the magic circuit was engraved.
A different level of pressure than when I entered my previous life.
Heck, I didn’t enter at such a low level back then.
Still, it wasn’t unbearable.
[Complete Achievement <First Step Toward the Truth>]
[Achievement Reward: Intelligence +10]
Even more so, with messages like this floating in front of your eyes, you have to endure it even if you can’t stand it.
At the same time as Manli’s visit to the library, his intelligence increased by 10 as an achievement reward.
And in the future, while staying in this space, you will be able to secure quite a lot of intelligence stats.
‘Does this mean that even just breathing will make you stronger?’
Dojin took several deep breaths.
It was still painful, like drinking something sticky, but it was sweet to think that this was all fertilizer for growth.
“Coke! Coke!”
No, it wasn’t even sweet.
I kept trying to drink a little more, but the pain arose as if my lungs were filled with water.
Dojin’s breathing, which suffered from a cough that did not stop for a while, was so cautious that it could no longer be calm.
‘I thought I was falling behind.’
Don’t be silly and start doing things that need to be done quickly.
Do-jin, who regained his sanity due to a shortness of breath, moved cautiously.
The surrounding landscape changes rapidly accordingly.
I have only moved one step, but the flowing surroundings are far away.
It was like walking hundreds of meters with each step.
There was no need to worry about how to find the desired place or find something in this space.
The crystallization of Zion Grace’s artistic space magic reads the visitor’s conscious as well as unconsciousness and guides them to the place where what he wants is stored.
Of course, the only area allowed for a 1-star wizard is the lowest floor, but even that alone made Do-jin feel good.
‘… That’s too much.’
After about 10 steps, I arrived at a place where dozens or even hundreds of bookshelves filled with books were lined up endlessly.
It would take a really long time to read all of this, but in fact, Do-jin could not read all the books here even if he wanted to.
This is because in the library of Manli, not only the places that wizards can go but also the materials they can read are limited.
Do-jin, a 1-star wizard, could of course touch only the lowest-ranked items on the lowest floor.
So, among the books on the bookshelf, Dojin began to pick out books that he could pick out.
[Understanding Mana]
-Basic magic knowledge book
-Author: Professor Eric Kendra
-Eligibility to read: 1-star magic circuit
When I pulled out the first book I found, information about the book appeared in the air.
It is not a hologram screen visible only to the user, but a type of light made of magic.
Dojin picked out other books in succession.
[Understanding the Basic Concept of Spells]
-Basic magic knowledge book
-Author: Duke Muy Bondrey
-Eligibility to read: 1-star magic circuit
[Components of the magic circle]
-Basic magic knowledge book
-Author: Professor Sergey Vener
-Eligibility to read: 1-star magic circuit
Do-jin, who checked the information in the book, roughly threw the book except for ‘Understanding Mana’ on the floor.
Then he sat down on the floor and opened the book.
“Mana refers to the most fundamental thing that makes up everything. yes it is something We still don’t know what it is. It is only seen as a phenomenon and understood empirically. We wizards use this pure mana as an ingredient for magic. The case of calling the magical power made from mana processed to make it easier to activate magic… … .」
So the reading began.
Of course, it wasn’t just reading.
There is no way that each and every book here is an ordinary book.
Even the book Do-jin held right away was a magic book containing the knowledge and understanding of a high-level wizard.
Leather, paper, ink, pen… At least, even the knife used to carve patterns on the leather cover was a real magic book that used magic items.
In terms of value, each book is a ‘real thing’ containing magical achievements that can be called treasure itself.
A magical phenomenon occurs in which part of the author’s ‘understanding’ is conveyed to the reader just by reading.
[Mana Affinity increases slightly.]
[Intelligence stat increases by 1 point.]
It’s a book to help you understand mana, just like your mana affinity grows.
‘Well, it’s just that the setting is like that.’
widely. Do-jin, who closed the book he had finished reading, picked up another book next to him.
It’s not a place where you can stay indefinitely, so you have to get as much as you can in a limited amount of time.
It was the reason why Dojin’s hands were a little busy turning over the bookshelf.
lightly… lightly… lightly… … .
This time, ‘Understanding the Basic Concept of Spells’ was a book written on the skin of a certain animal, not on paper.
Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm
Maybe the leather used instead of paper belongs to humans.
The author of this book, Muy Bondray, is a fundamentalist in magic who is recognized even in a wizarding society full of madmen.
「Art refers to artificially causing miracles. Spells are diverse. It is called magic, sorcery, witchcraft, and so on, and each of them creates a spell in its own way and direction. However, in the end, it is the same in that it is an act to artificially intervene in the laws of the world and bring about a phenomenon that is difficult to occur naturally, whether it is small or large. This is the basis for saying that all of them can be called magic… … .」
It was more fun than I thought to recall the settings of LOST, which I had forgotten while playing the game by inertia.
[The durability of the magic circuit increases slightly.]
[The magic circuit’s mana processing efficiency slightly increases.]
[Intelligence stat increases by 1 point.]
go up anything rises it goes up anyway
No gamer could rest in this situation.
Do-jin was the polar type among them, so there was no rest.
Do-jin, who madly read books related to magic circles, took out books and read them as soon as he could get his hands on them.
Among them, not only basic magic knowledge, but also magic skill books containing the skills themselves were mixed.
Every time I found it, the taste of the hardened skill book was sweet.
[You have acquired the 「Ignition」 skill.]
Starting with the 1-star magic [Ignition], basic attack magic accumulated in the skill window.
This was the synergistic effect of the great magic circle installed in this space by the great archmage, Shion Grace, and the unstained, pure, low-level body.
Even if high-level users came in, they came in empty cans in a space where they could grow to some extent, so they piled up quickly.
‘I’m starting to feel hungry.’
Dojin, who had been reading for a while, raised his head with a sense of hunger.
Even a Regenian would die if he starved.
But there was no need to worry.
Do-jin came in prepared to bury his bones here, and he was ready to do so.
[Bad jerky]
[hard bread]
[water]
This is a list of food items purchased at the grocery store upon arrival in Jeron.
I spent half of the gold I received as a reward at the gateway here.
He bought meat and bread with the money he could buy for a 1-star skill book.
That too, with cheap-smelling modifiers such as ‘bad quality’ and ‘hard’.
Even the water came from the fountain near the magic tower.
The amount of food prepared by saving money to the limit is enough to last a month here.
Of course, if you live on this diet for a month, your health will deteriorate.
But what does it matter?
health? how do you take care of it?
If you eat broccoli diligently later, everything will be solved.
Now was the time to take on something more important.
Do-jin chewed on the tough, fishy jerky, and melted the hard bread in his mouth and ate it.
“This time, about the method of invoking a spell by omitting the components of the spell-”
Even so, Dojin’s eyes were following the type written in the book.

[Complete <Reader> Achievement]
[Achievement Reward: Stamina +1]
I won an achievement that can be achieved by reading more than 20 books a day.
[<Bookworm> Achievement Accomplished]
[Achievement Reward: Stamina +3]
I also earned an achievement that requires me to do that consistently for a week.
[Complete <Reader> Achievement]
[Achievement Reward: Stamina +5]
And the full moon passed.
widely.
After finishing another book, Dojin looked around.
‘Well… No matter how I look at it, there doesn’t seem to be any books I can read.’
I read so badly that I have already read all the books in this section.
To be precise, I’ve read all the ‘books that 1-star wizards can read’.
“Ughguk… … ! Well, I can’t read because I don’t have a book. It’s a problem to starve to death because you run out of food.”
Dojin stood on his own two feet and stretched for the first time in a long time.
Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm
My body, which had been hardened from sitting and reading for a long time, let out a loud scream even with a light stretch.
Do-jin, who finished stretching, wondering if he might have broken his bones, confirmed the results of reading a book for 15 days while struggling.
dojin
Level: 8
Class: Mage
Strength: 7
Agility: 8
Stamina: 61
Intelligence: 54
Skill: ( 5 ) [Open]
It was worthwhile to train while listening to the sound of the system certified bookworm for 15 days.
Even if his intelligence stat rose to 54 without investing even a single bonus point, he became a stat monster that is hard to find an opponent at the same level.
There was also a great development in the skill side.
The most useful magic that I learned from receiving the skill book from Sisala Omen, [Depression].
Even basic attribute magic such as [Ignition], [Wind Arrow], [Ice Arrow], and [Light].
Considering that a former wizard user from the Imperial Academy started learning two or three spells, it was an overly wealthy start.
Besides, Do-jin is still in the library.
It means that if you find more books to read, you can grow more here.
‘I rested for a while, so shall we go?’
Dojin moved on.
But if you sing for too long, is it because you replaced your sleep with a mod?
Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm
My head spun in an instant.
Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm
Maybe it’s because I’ve been sitting for so long that I’ve gotten up and the problem has arisen.
About 1 to 2 seconds.
Dojin’s consciousness flew away.
