[Ding…. Mission reward is being allocated]

[Do you want to absorb the technique of Augustus (Warning! 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. After a few minutes had passed exactly 90 books were laid down neatly on the floor, they emitted various auras like ferocious auras, gentle auras, Heavenly auras, etc.

Twilight was surprised when Richard made all the books disappear into thin air. Twilight taught it was some kind of space magic I had developed but little did she know that it was not a magic of Richard but one of the functions of Kronos. Since I had finished the work for which I had come to the library, I left the library. Once I came out of the door, I saw the green light going in the opposite direction it had gone while opening the door. The green light went to the center and I heard the sound of the door tightening to the walls.

I then went near the bookshelf that had turned with him towards the library’s entrance. I then proceeded to push the book back to its original position as I was instructed by my father. Once again the bookshelf turned with me till I was safely on the other side in the attic. Once again I had to climb the long staircase to go out of the palace. I wished that there was an elevator to go up and down, too bad that the technology is not advanced enough to make an elevator.

 Once I reached the King’s throne room he asked me “Did you get what you were searching son.” I nodded and took the library key out to give it to my father but he shook his head while saying “You deserve the key more than me. After all, you will be the future king soon, so it’s best to give the key earlier to you so that you would become a better and more knowledgeable king.”

I nodded and kept the precious key in Kronos’s inventory while acting like I was putting the key in my pocket. I then left the palace and got another bumpy ride back to the academy after changing my dress to the school uniform. The driver was confused that I was not in the academy. He even asked me why I was not in the academy to which I replied that I had gotten permission to temporarily leave the school for a work that I had to do.

The driver seemed surprised to hear I was allowed to go out of the school by the Dean but he did not say anything regarding it. While I was going into the academy I got a salute from the guards. I then had to spend a few minutes explaining to the guards why I did not want them to salute me. I decided that I had to go and inform the Dean that I had arrived at the school.

I surprisingly entered the Dean’s office without any interruptions. I thought somebody would stop a student when they tried to enter the Dean’s office but it seemed the students had the freedom to go into the Dean’s office when they felt the need to do so.  The Dean seemed surprised to see me back at the school so early. I wonder why people were always surprised at what   I say and do; if I was able to convert other people’s emotions to money I would have millions of dollars in my bank account already.

The Dean questioned “Did you find the boy you were searching and how was the library of legends? How was Twilight? Was she fine?” Although I was floored by his questions I replied “I found the book, it was quite interesting and it showed the hierarchy of gods, the possibility of Augustus being a reincarnated god, humans being the descendants of Primordial humans who are stronger than gods and so much more. The library of legends has the most enchanting scenery I have ever seen. Twilight is quite well in the library. She seems to be nearing the level of a Spirit King.”

The Dean was Shocked as expected by the knowledge in the book I was searching for. The shock could even be seen by the most inexperienced face reader. The Dean then asked in a shocked tone “You can see the level of twilight. Even I cannot see the extent of her powers but to be near breaking through to Spirit King is a great achievement since A Spirit King is only born once every 1 million years but that is nothing compared to a Spirit King’s Life Span.”

Since I could not tell that I was able to see Twilight’s level due to Kronos’s words, I nodded my head. The Dean was shocked to know that I could see the extent of Twilight’s Powers. While the Dean was shocked I excused myself from the office since the Dean might ask how I was able to see Twilight’s Powers.

    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.

    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

    [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. I thought ‘I remembered clearly that it was the 20th of December when The GATE pods were released to be purchased by the public and today was the 15

    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 thought ‘I better run home quickly since it’s not far from here.’A few minutes later ‘Kronos activate the lottery.’[Spinning lottery wheel]In my mind ‘I saw a large lottery wheel

    The Owl started to speak with a strong voice that seemed to remember him of somebody “You look so much like Augustus.

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.

    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.
