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 in my mind with various names I had never heard before but this was surprising since I had particularly memorized all the available cultivation manuals’ names. This means that these manuals are not from Earth but from somewhere else with intelligent life forms.’ While I was thinking about this mystery, I heard Kronos notification from Kronos
[Successfully drawn the rare cultivation manual “Heaven Defying Void Cultivation Manual”]
‘The name gave just how powerful the manual is but how I can access the manual?’
[You can absorb the information or have it as a book]
‘Can I absorb it and write it down for somebody to read?’
[Yes, you can host]
Then I chose to absorb it and after the thought was heard by Kronos, I felt intense pain in my head and countless tsunamis of information filled my head. Finally, I lost conscience of my body and woke up after fully absorbing Kronos’s information.
I thought ‘This cultivation was OP and I also got to know more about the ‘mana’ in our world too. The mana that had suddenly appeared on planet earth decades ago was due to a leak in space far away. The mana that managed to reach earth was too weak and impure but this cultivation method allows a person to directly absorb from the void which had purer mana than the mana that existed in space.’
I was eager to test this out but I had to cook food for my sister and the pod would arrive any moment now. Ding… Ding… and there it is, I thought ‘the delivery is very fast these days.’ I ran to open the door to find several people carrying the pod inside the house and on my request, they installed it in my room but I could not use it still since I had to cook food for my sister before she comes home from school. I went into the kitchen and started cooking the food
A few minutes later
After eating some food and keeping some for my sister, I checked the time. I thought ‘There were still around 2 hrs till the server will officially open. So, I can finally use this cultivation manual that I got from Kronos. According to this cultivation manual, I should create a circuit in my body which would allow me to use mana.’
I decided to first put a reminder in my phone 5 minutes before the server would open just in case. I then followed the instructions and started carving pathways inside my body along the nerves and veins which act as a transport and as a medium to my mana. After sweating a lot and panting a lot, I managed to finally carve my mana pathways and just in time to hear my alarm ring. I quickly had a bath to get rid of the dirt that was released from my body due to me pushing all the dirt out to make the mana pathways.
When I finished changing my dress, there was only 1 minute remaining till the server opens. I quickly got onto the game pod and activated the machine to enter the game.

At the palaceGrace’s PovI asked for an audience with the king and was immediately granted it after my identity as the personal maid of the crown prince was revealed. I entered passing the guards and entering the king’s courtroom.The king asked me “ Grace what is the important matter that requires such an urgent impromptu audience with me” I bowed and replied to his majesty “Your highness the young master had taken one of the incognito dresses that he owns and I suspect that he might be heading to town in disguise.”I noticed the king frown and say “This is a state matter that requires the utmost confidential seal. This must not be leaked for any reason to our enemies. Inform the ninja squid to investigate and look after Richard. Under no reason should he return hurt”Gerald/Richard’s Pov After asking the directions to the adventurer guild, I found the large adventure guild building and entered it noticing so many people drinking alcohol. I went near the lady
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. The reward from the mission is 10 gold and the money that you will get for selling a rabbit’s meat is 5 silver coins rabbit’s horn is 10 silver coins. The total price from the loot is 15 gold coins. Here are the 25 gold coins.”I nodded and took the gold coins from the receptionist.[Ding… Mission complete successfully][Allocating Adventurer skills and information]I was once again flooded with information due to the power of the information entering my brain being too powerful. If I compared the previous knowledge I received from Kronos to the current flow of information it would be comparing an ant bite to a flood. I almost fainted but managed to keep my conscience since the receptionist was starting to stare at me.[Allocation of Adventurer skills and i
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
His words shocked me but it was not surprising since my father wanted to hide my identity while the other 2 girls were nobles by the aura they emitted. While I was contemplating this sudden idea, our teacher Kakashi Thor entered the classroom and broke my thought process by saying “Good morning students, I am Kakashi the teacher in charge of this class and section. I will be teaching the art of stealth and ninjas since I am a spy that brings classified information from potential enemies without being noticed.”I was surprised to hear that and started paying more attention to our class teacher and the most surprising thing was I could not see his presence till I put all my effort in. He was wearing a typical ninja dress with weapons in something that looked like a belt. He had tied his hair with a band and there was a band on the front of his hair with an emblem on it. He seemed to have a pirate patch on his right eye, it seemed to give a threatening presence.Jack asked, “Should not y
The next teacher that came had red hair with red eyes which were very rare. She entered the class and started speaking “I am Scarlet Lionheart who will be teaching fire magic to everybody with a fire affinity.” Her name sent a bustle among the 2 noble girls but I was not surprised since the Family name Lionheart belonged to a prestigious family in which the head was A Grand Duke, A position directly below that of The King and equal to a Prince. I heard about this family including the families Mermaid, Aang, and Gaia. They had the same power and position that of the Lionheart, They represent water, wind, and earth respectively. After the chattering stopped Scarlet Sensei continued “Everybody will be checked whether they have fire affinity with this firestone. If anybody does not have fire affinity there is no need for them to attend this class, though they can still attend if they wish to. So everybody waits for your chance patiently.”Everybody nodded and started testing their affini
According to the Time Table we were given, there is a 1-hour break at the moment. Since there is nothing else to do I’ll go hunting in the forest. After getting directions from some seniors I managed to find the forest. Time to hunt![Ding… A mission is issued][Mission:- Kill 100 monsters(at least E rank)][Reward:- Permanently increase Strength by 10x][Punishment:- Reducing Strength by 10x for a day in real life and The GATE][Mission Time Limit:- 1:00:00/ 1 hour]This a tough mission, but how can I differentiate E-rank monsters[Host can specify skill Analysis to find E-rank monsters or higher within a 10m circle around you]I did not know I can Specify skills to do specific things.

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. The library manager looked at my face with surprise and shock and said “All the books are protected by magic enchantments which do not damage the inner contents of any book here. It’s surpr
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.
[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 a

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. Not even a normal Primordial Being can withstand this little fellow’s aura but you were able to stand straight. You even know the
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. Which is indeed impossible but miracles do happen once every ∞ Year. So what book exactly are you
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. Kronos went silent after I thought of the inventory as something that belonged to Kronos.A few minut
He said “Come in” and obediently entered the room. The Dean seemed surprised to see me before smiling at me and saying “Richard Tiamat, I presume. You look just like your father.” It seemed The Dean knew my real identity. 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
