-Conqueror of Oren’s library (Wisdom +10)

“....”

Soo Hyuk was left speechless after he checked the title, ‘Conqueror of Oren’s library’ . He could only think:

‘Isn’t this kind of underwhelming after reading all those books . ’

The condition to acquire the title was to read all the books . But only 10 extra wisdom? He was left with an empty feeling after comparing the acquisition condition and the effect of the title .

Soo Hyuk then closed the title screen and checked his character .

Level: 8

Experience: 51%

Vitality: 2540

Mana: 26420

ραndαsΝοvεl ?οm Satiation: 40%

Strength: 14

Agility: 15

Stamina: 48

“So 1321 wisdom....”

Looking at the overwhelming amount of wisdom compared to the pitiful main stats, Soo Hyuk couldn’t help but have a slight smile .

Soo Hyuk then closed his character screen and opened the inventory after . It was to recharge his satiation, which was below 50% .

“I didn’t know there were some left . ”

He murmured as he took out two pieces of hard bread from his inventory . There were still three left after he took out two .

“I should’ve bought a couple more then?”

This was not the bread he bought before entering the library . He ate all of them in a month before buying some more . Soo Hyuk ate his remaining bread as he looked around the library . It was full of sparkles when he first came here, but after he read all the books, there wasn’t even a sliver of a sparkle to be seen .

“Huu-”

Soo Hyuk let out a satisfied sigh after comparing the current library and when he first came here . And so he ate all his bread while comparing the past and present, then checked the time .

“Looks like I have to log out . It’s getting late . Let’s go to Matab tomorrow . ”

It wasn’t compulsory to log out at this time but, he didn’t want to break his promise with himself if there wasn’t something urgent . And Oren was a place you couldn’t return to after you leave . It was only possible after erasing your save file, so he was planning to look around Oren slowly then go to Matab .

***

Soo Hyuk left the capsule as he logged out . Feeling a wave of stiffness, he began to stretch . After he finished stretching, he turned on the computer and checked his phone . There were messages from his parents and Yeon Jeong .

“So they can’t come home today . ”

The time was different but the content was the same . Soo Hyuk then checked his friend’s message .

Yeon Jeong

-Did you finish them?

The message was simple . After seeing the message, Soo Hyuk called Yeon Jeong on the phone .

“Is he gaming?”

Yeon Jeong did not answer his phone, so he was probably gaming . Soo Hyuk left a message for him and went on the Pangea homepage on his computer . It was to check whether there was any interesting news .

“....Nothing really happened . What about the notice board.... Nope . ”

As expected nothing came up . After double checking the homepage, Soo Hyuk got up from his seat and went to the 3rd floor . It was time to exercise .

***

Beep! Beep!

Soo Hyuk woke up to the sound of the alarm . He quickly got up from his bed and started stretching to get rid of his sleepiness . When he checked his phone, there were messages from his parents and Yeon Jeong again . But he quickly froze as he read his parent’s message .

“....?”

He couldn’t help but feel doubt after he checked the message .

“Vacation?”

It was a message about going on a vacation . Of course, that was not strange in itself . The strange thing was the destination .

Father Let’s go to Pangea soon!

Mother I don’t know if your father told you . There will be a capsule technician coming at 10am! The installation place is the living room!

“Pangea?”

The vacation destination was Pangea .

“Were my parents into Pangea?”

It was my first time hearing it .

“Wait, since the capsules’ coming now, they’re going to be just starting?”

Soo Hyuk replied to the message and opened Yeon Jeong’s message .

Yeon Jeong So you finally finished! So when will we go to Matab? You can leave me a message . I’m going to be logged on at around 1 pm .

“So the technician is going to come at 10 am . ”

Soo Hyuk’s mother’s text said that the technician’s going to come at 10 am, and Yeon Jeong will be logged on at 1 pm .

It seemed like he could finally talk with Yeon Jeong again . Soo Hyuk put his phone down after replying to his message .

“The time is....8 am . ”

The current time was 8 am with 2 hours left until the installation and 5 hours to the meeting with Yeon Jeong . Soo Hyuk thought about what he could do in that time .

“Let’s not log on . There could be a call from Yeon Jeong or the technician . How about exercise?”

***

“The installation is finished . Sorry for taking so long . ”

The technician said to Soo Hyuk after the installation .

“No, it’s nothing . ”

“If there are any problems, please contact me! I’ll come right away!”I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm

The technician handed Soo Hyuk his contact details while smiling at his comment .

“Have a good day, sir!”

The technician left while saying goodbye after Soo Hyuk received his contacts . And so, Soo Hyuk went back to his room .

“We promised to meet at 1pm, so 2 hours should be enough . ”

The promised time was 1pm and the current time was 11am, with 2 hours left until 1pm . Soo Hyuk could easily reach the meeting place within 2 hours .

So Soo Hyuk went into his capsule and logged on to Pangea .

Whirr!

The dark capsule changed to a scene of a library where he previously logged out . Soo Hyuk looked around the library again . It was a very familiar scene .

He was very fond of this familiar scene . While looking around with eyes containing a mix of regret, longing and pride, Soo Hyuk turned towards the exit .

“Here is your pass . ”

As soon as Soo Hyuk left passed the exit, Kejan the librarian gave Soo Hyuk’s pass back to him . While receiving his pass, he thought,

“Now this pass as well....”historical

He didn’t need it anymore . But it was an item filled with memories . Soo Hyuk opened his inventory and stored his library pass .

“Goodbye . ”

He closed his inventory left the library . Soo Hyuk slowly trudged along after he left the library .

“Aiahh....”

Soo Hyuk let out a sound as he admired the architecture around him as he walked . It was 2 months since he started Pangea . However, he spent almost all his time in the library and paid no attention to almost everything else .

He hadn’t thought about the buildings in the town then, but the buildings were surprisingly interesting even for a beginner town . It was as if he was in a novel called Pangea .

“Let’s go . ”

After spending 1 hour exploring Oren, he set out towards the town square . Not to mention the meeting time, it was time to go to Matab .

“Are you going to be a Brawler?”

“No, it’s not even a good job and you can’t change from one special job to another as well . ”

“So what are you going to be?”

“I’ll just be a warrior and stick with the Berserker tree . ”

“Yeah, Berserkers are kind of similar to Brawler . ”

“I think Berserkers are kind of better if you think about the amount of work you have to put in . I can’t grind 24/7 on a game so how can I raise the experience?”

“Yeah, I agree . ”

“What about you? Are you going to be a Brawler?”

“No, I’m thinking about being a Berserker as well . ”

Soo Hyuk could hear the different users’ conversations as he stood in front of the town square .

“Is the Brawler job that bad?”

Special job ‘Brawler’ . Soo Hyuk also knew about it as well . However, he didn’t think that the users’ opinion of it would be so low .

“Yeah, I suppose raising Brawlers are difficult and being difficult to raise doesn’t mean that it’s more powerful .

When Soo Hyuk thought about it, it made sense that people didn’t like the Brawler job as special jobs are harder to raise compared to normal jobs . And it also didn’t mean that they were in a different power level than normal ones . Heavy investment with little return meant that of course the opinion of the Brawler job was going to be bad .

And so, Soo Hyuk reached his destination while eavesdropping on other conversations .

His destination was where an NPC called Kodra warped other people to the place that they wanted .

“I gotta wait a little more....”

Soo Hyuk thought as he approached Kodra . There were already many people lining up for their turn . Soo Hyuk went to the back of the line and started to wait .

“He won’t be late, right?”

The promised time was 1pm . He wandered around Oren until 12pm and took 10 minutes reaching the town square which meant that there were 50 minutes left . Looking at the lengthening line, he felt a bit nervous .

“Next! Next! Next!”

But when he saw the fast speed of the line, he felt reassured .

“Looks like Yeon Jeong won’t be late . ”

“Next!”

It was finally Soo Hyuk’s turn so he said to Kodra,

“Please send me to Matab . ”

“Sure thing!”

In response to his request, Kodra waved his staff at the portal .

[Warping to ‘Alliance of Magicians, Matab’]

At Soo Hyuk’s feet a small magic circle appeared with the message . Then the space around him began to distort . The distortion did not last as it the space around him stabilised and a scene appeared in front of him .

“Which one is this?”

The warp destinations were not set in place as there were eight portals in Matab . Warping to Matab could take you to any one of the eight .

“I hope it’s Hall No . 2 . ”

Soo Hyuk wanted to go to Hall No . 2 as it was the closest to the meeting place . It wouldn’t even take 20 minutes by walking .

“Selling mana potions! They can significantly increase your wisdom stat! Come and take a look!”

“I’m looking for a party to do a quest!”

“This robe can increase your wisdom by 5 points! We have a red, blue and green robe each!”

“Selling skill-books! There are ice ball, slow and fire ball books!”

The distorted space was finally completely stabilised . Soo Hyuk could hear people around him yelling to one another .

“Where is this?”

Soo Hyuk looked around to determine which hall this was . As he looked around, he found a sign which had the location .

“....”

Soo Hyuk couldn’t help but scrunch his face after reading the sign .
