A few moments of shock later
While I was thinking ‘I am an NPC? Now that I think about it, I've only ever seen Adventure NPCs and Important Quest Related NPCs move while those with normal Quests stay in one place all the time. Could it be I am one such NPC?!! I was shouting in my head and cursing The AI that made me an NPC’ , Somebody came near me and asked “Do you have any quests for me”
Before I realized it, I spoke “I lost my stick can you find it for me? “I was ecstatic to release I could speak but also sad since I could not control what I said. The Man nodded and also muttered, “This better have a good reward or else...”I felt a chill up my spine and knew something bad was going to happen.
A few minutes later
I saw that man return to a somewhat battered state compared to before. The man came and said, “I could not find the stick, can you give me the reward anyway”. Then I again spoke, “I lost my stick can you find it for me. “I noticed the man’s face change into an angry face after hearing me repeat the same thing. ‘I had seen that face several times, the face that means “One of us is going to die today” ’ I was thinking while he frowned while trying to put on a smiling face and said “I could not find the stick, can you give me the reward anyway.” But still I again spoke, “I lost my stick can you find it for me. “Now he was enraged and started attacking me and the worst thing was I could not move my body for self-defense.
The man threw me and started trampling me, I saw my HP decrease at a rapid rate. ‘What kind of stats do I have, even a rabbit’s HP would not decrease so much by a beginner’ I thought. Then my HP reached zero and I died for the second time today.
I felt I was floating in a boundless space of void
[Ding… System initializing….Host Selected. Would you like to be the host?]
“Is this that AI Rachel again?”
[Wrong. The System is not Rachel.The System does not have a name]
“Which human would make an AI without a name?”
[Wrong. No mere mortal can make me and only the host can select a name for me]
“What! How were you made then?”
[You do not have the authority/privilege to get the answers. If you decide to become the host you will be revived with a chance to get your physical body]
“There is only 1 choice left for me and this is it. I accept to become your host.”
[Ding… System successfully branded to host’s soul. Please select a name for System.]
“Alright, since you’re helping me change my fate by giving me a new beginning. You’ll be called Kronos.”
That was the name of The Greek God of beginning, gates, transitions, time, duality, doorways, passages, and ending, and the one who will now change my fate.
[Ding… Successful. The System will be called Kronos]
I felt that the voice suddenly had a transformation and I could no longer identify it as the same voice as before.

[Ding…. Mission completed successfully][Ding…. Mission reward allocated][Ding…. Time reversed successfully]I woke up tired and noticed I was back in my home and I shouted “Hip Hip Hurray!”Then I heard a voice saying “Brother, what’s the happy news today” and when the owner of the voice came near me, I was shocked since it was my sister who should be in china studying at a university using a scholarship. I thought asked her “what year is it today” and when she replied with a slight look of hesitation and surprise, I was shocked since I had come back a whole 5 yrs back in time. My sister Alice asked me “So, what’s the good news, and why are you asking me the year today.” I made up an excuse quickly and said “Oh, just a happy dream that I had” “Oh okay”I quickly went out of the house and checked the date and month on my old button phone.

In a few minutes, I reached Golden Dragon Café and saw my friend’s car without change parked with a crowd around it. When I went to the café I saw tom waiting near the entrance. I called him by shouting “Tom, I am here. How long have you been waiting.”“Not long actually, I cannot believe you’ve changed so much. What have you been eating these days, you’ve become so thin. You are no longer the handsome Gerald of our university.” Tom said. His words made me remember how we had to go from 3 rich meals to 2 middle-class meals to save money.“It’s nothing much to talk about, come let’s go in” I replied while smoothly dodging his question. We both went into the VIP room booked by tom.“So what did you need the 5 million for? You should not have so many expenses right” Tom questioned. I knew he would ask me this question after I came to the café.“I needed it for an important investment of mine” I replied immediately. So after successfully convincing tom why I needed 5 million, we both had

According to the information I received The GATE was not just a game that a genius was able to make due to a sudden burst of inspiration but another planet in another universe that was accessed by the game pod which created a replica of the person in it, so the actual person would not die but a small fraction of his conscience which operates the replica might get destroyed.This was quite shocking to me who thought the world was artificially constructed. No wonder it felt so realistic and you could feel all 5 senses.[Do you want to activate your random rare cultivation lottery, a piece of advice from Kronos would be to activate the lottery in a private place free of people.]With this influx of information, I almost forgot about the cultivation manual.

I had somehow managed to explain that it was not a skill but a magic that I had learned from a person. They did not seem to believe me but they nodded. The receptionist said to me “Congrats on completing your 1st adventurer mission.

There were 10 continents and it seems when I get the knowledge of a continent it would be counted as 10% being completed. The Extra 1% was due to me knowing some things about the history and future of the Human Continent due to spawning in it as my race was human then. Now for me to complete the mission I must find Books about the history of the other continents but it would most probably be tough since they too would be in the royal libraries.After looking out the window I noticed that it was evening. I had eaten lunch before coming to the palace but I was still hungry, so I went to the palace’s dining hall and hall my dinner. After filling my stomach, I went to bed and went for a deep sleep.The next DayI was once again got dressed by Grace but this time in a School Dress. I bid farewell to the members in the Palace and was told by the king that there was no need to go for the test since I would attract too much attention due to my strength and went near the school bus stand since

Chapter 20- A new Job, 2 New Titles, and a Rare Monster Drop
After deciding the monster that I would be fighting, I focused on creating the strongest Magic we were taught “Fire Tornado”. It was a 3rd rank Spell but with the help of the Pure Magic Affinity I have, its strength was increased to a 4th Rank Spell which I call “Pure Fire Tornado”.By the way, the ranks signify the level of the stats. An example of this means to use a Rank 1 spell a person should have 100 Mana and 100 Int while to use a Rank 3 Spell-like Fire Tornado a person should have 300 Mana and 300 Int but my spell had the power of a Rank 4 spell while it required the stats needed for a Rank 3 Spell. Since I had 7000 Mana and Int, I should theoretically be able to use Rank 70 Magic but according to the NPC Richard’s Memory, the highest Rank spell is 10. This Rank 10 Spell is a one of kind Magic that was developed by a Sage( who didn’t have the Sage job but was called a Sage due to his strength and knowledge ) and had gathered dust in the treasury of some country since nobody

I looked at the time of the watch I was wearing and noticed that I could make it in time to attend the last class that would be done by Kakashi Sensei. I ran as fast as possible with the help of wind magic that I had learned from Ms. Arabelle who was teaching us Wind Magic. Due to the speed at which I was traveling, I could not stop in time to prevent bumping into Kakashi Sensei who was about to enter the class.Kakashi Sensei was quite surprised to be bumped by somebody. He was also even more surprised to see that it was me who had bumped into him. He asked me “Why were you not present in the morning when I called your name, Richard.” I showed him the dean’s note, after which he sighed and said “Come in, Richard.” I nodded and followed him inside the class; the students seemed surprised to see me. Jack asked me “I thought something happened to you or your family since you did not attend the class. I was really worried you know.” So that’s why everybody was surprised to see me today.

A great amount of information will enter your brain which might result in you losing your conscience for several days)][Yes or No][You could also absorb this information later]This was the first time that Kronos gave me a warning regarding the reward, so I must pay heed to its warning. Since I have another mission that must be completed by me in a month, I must complete it before absorbing this technique. I asked Twilight “Can you give me 90 good books in the library? It would be best if you could also give me books with names that start with ‘The History of.’” Twilight was surprised by this strange request but she still did what she was requested to do. Twilight said some more words in the Spirit Language which was translated to come here followed by various book names.

According to my calculations, I should read at least 3 books a day plus extra 10 books to read 100 books but I think I have already read 10 books. The problem is whether It would be counted by Kronos. While I was contemplating the mission I had received, Twilight got the book and said to me while handing book to me “Here is the book you were searching for. You are full of surprises Richard.

Chapter 16- Twinkle
The Owl started to speak with a strong voice that seemed to remember him of somebody “You look so much like Augustus. You must be the new king since you look so much like him and normally only the king and his trusted confidants are allowed inside.” I did not know that I looked so much like my ancestor/ more specifically this NPC’s ancestor. It seemed to have mistaken me to be king, So I shook my head and said “I am the crown Prince Richard Tiamat who has come here in search of a book that might be in your possession somewhere in this library.”The Owl seemed surprised to see a prince allowed to enter the library by the king. The Owl said “My name is Twinkle and I am one of the few pets of Augustus, I am one of a long extinct sub-race with the Spirit Race and my sub-race which should be extinct is the ‘Primordial Spirit Owl.’ I sense that you too are a primordial being born to 2 dragons.

My father seemed to recognize me even with my disguise and seemed puzzled and surprised to see me. I told him the reason why I was not in the academy. He seemed puzzled to see me come to the palace for a book! But when I asked him to permit me to enter the ruined library of legends, his face completely change and he asked me “Who told you about the existence of the ruined library of legends.” I replied that the Dean was the person who informed me of that library. He nodded and said, “I will allow you to enter since you are the crown prince but you can only enter the library if you cannot find that book in our royal library.” I nodded and proceeded towards the royal library.After I started to thoroughly search the library, I found some interesting books on various sectors. I put them in my inventory.[It’s Kronos’s inventory, Host]Okay, Okay it’s Kronos’s inventory, Happy now Kronos.

I asked him “So you know my father.” He nodded and said, “you do not seem to be surprised for me to know your full name.” I nodded and declared “I knew that somebody with power must know my real identity and you seem to be the only person with real power here.” The Dean looked surprised but asked “So why did you come here? There must be something you want from me to come here.”I nodded and asked the dean “Can I have permission to go out of the school for work.” The Dean seemed surprised but nodded to give his consent while saying “I will inform the guards to give you free access to enter and exit at your own will.” I nodded and further asked him “Have you heard of the book or read the book “History of the Gods.” You must have seen a lot of books in your life.”The

Once again the mission progression was updated and the bell signaled the end of the school periods. I asked the Library manager whether would there be any problems if I stayed here even after the last school period and he nodded while saying” Nobody ever frequents this library, So I would not tell the 1st person in centuries who came inside this library to leave and there is nothing to worry, I know the Dean of the Academy. You can stay here till it's bedtime.” I nodded with an appreciative smile.I once again started a search for a history book of the continents. I finally found a rather worn-out book titled “H st y of t e Humans.” It was the only worn-out book on the whole shelf which was surprising and it was also slightly burnt but the inside appeared to look as if it was not touched by time.
