-Conqueror of Orenโs library (Wisdom +10)
โโฆโฆโ
Soo Hyuk was left speechless after he checked the title, โConqueror of Orenโs libraryโ. He could only think:
โIsnโt this kind of underwhelming after reading all those books.โ
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
Satiation: 40%
Strength: 14
Agility: 15
Stamina: 48
โSo 1321 wisdomโฆโฆโ
Looking at the overwhelming amount of wisdom compared to the pitiful main stats, Soo Hyuk couldnโt 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%.
โI didnโt know there were some left.โ
He murmured as he took out two pieces of hard bread from his inventory. There were still three left after he took out two.
โI shouldโve bought a couple more then?โ
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 wasnโt even a sliver of a sparkle to be seen.
โHuu-โ
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.
โLooks like I have to log out. Itโs getting late. Letโs go to Matab tomorrow.โ
It wasnโt compulsory to log out at this time but, he didnโt want to break his promise with himself if there wasnโt something urgent. And Oren was a place you couldnโt 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.
โSo they canโt come home today.โ
The time was different but the content was the same. Soo Hyuk then checked his friendโs message.
Yeon Jeong
-Did you finish them?
The message was simple. After seeing the message, Soo Hyuk called Yeon Jeong on the phone.
โIs he gaming?โ
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.
โโฆโฆNothing really happened. What about the notice boardโฆโฆ Nope. โ
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 parentโs message.
โโฆโฆ?โ
He couldnโt help but feel doubt after he checked the message.
โVacation?โ
It was a message about going on a vacation. Of course, that was not strange in itself. The strange thing was the destination.
Father
- Letโs go to Pangea soon!
Mother
- I donโt know if your father told you. There will be a capsule technician coming at 10am! The installation place is the living room!
โPangea?โ
The vacation destination was Pangea.
โWere my parents into Pangea?โ
It was my first time hearing it.
โWait, since the capsulesโ coming now, theyโre going to be just starting?โ
Soo Hyuk replied to the message and opened Yeon Jeongโs message.
Yeon Jeong
- So you finally finished! So when will we go to Matab? You can leave me a message. Iโm going to be logged on at around 1 pm.
โSo the technician is going to come at 10 am.โ
Soo Hyukโs motherโs text said that the technicianโs 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.
โThe time isโฆโฆ8 am.โ
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.
โLetโs not log on. There could be a call from Yeon Jeong or the technician. How about exercise?โ
***
โThe installation is finished. Sorry for taking so long.โ
The technician said to Soo Hyuk after the installation.
โNo, itโs nothing.โ
โIf there are any problems, please contact me! Iโll come right away!โ
The technician handed Soo Hyuk his contact details while smiling at his comment.
โHave a good day, sir!โ
The technician left while saying goodbye after Soo Hyuk received his contacts. And so, Soo Hyuk went back to his room.
โWe promised to meet at 1pm, so 2 hours should be enough.โ
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.
โHere is your pass.โ
As soon as Soo Hyuk left passed the exit, Kejan the librarian gave Soo Hyukโs pass back to him. While receiving his pass, he thought,
โNow this pass as wellโฆโฆโ
He didnโt need it anymore. But it was an item filled with memories. Soo Hyuk opened his inventory and stored his library pass.
โGoodbye.โ
He closed his inventory left the library. Soo Hyuk slowly trudged along after he left the library.
โAiahhโฆโฆโ
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 hadnโt 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.
โLetโs go.โ
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.
โAre you going to be a Brawler?โ
โNo, itโs not even a good job and you canโt change from one special job to another as well.โ
โSo what are you going to be?โ
โIโll just be a warrior and stick with the Berserker tree.โ
โYeah, Berserkers are kind of similar to Brawler.โ
โI think Berserkers are kind of better if you think about the amount of work you have to put in. I canโt grind 24/7 on a game so how can I raise the experience?โ
โYeah, I agree.โ
โWhat about you? Are you going to be a Brawler?โ
โNo, Iโm thinking about being a Berserker as well.โ
Soo Hyuk could hear the different usersโ conversations as he stood in front of the town square.
โIs the Brawler job that bad?โ
Special job โBrawlerโ. Soo Hyuk also knew about it as well. However, he didnโt think that the usersโ opinion of it would be so low.
โYeah, I suppose raising Brawlers are difficult and being difficult to raise doesnโt mean that itโs more powerful.
When Soo Hyuk thought about it, it made sense that people didnโt like the Brawler job as special jobs are harder to raise compared to normal jobs. And it also didnโt 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.
โI gotta wait a little moreโฆโฆโ
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.
โHe wonโt be late, right?โ
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.
โNext! Next! Next!โ
But when he saw the fast speed of the line, he felt reassured.
โLooks like Yeon Jeong wonโt be late.โ
โNext!โ
It was finally Soo Hyukโs turn so he said to Kodra,
โPlease send me to Matab.โ
โSure thing!โ
In response to his request, Kodra waved his staff at the portal.
[Warping to โAlliance of Magicians, Matabโ]
At Soo Hyukโs 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.
โWhich one is this?โ
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.
โI hope itโs Hall No.2.โ
Soo Hyuk wanted to go to Hall No.2 as it was the closest to the meeting place. It wouldnโt even take 20 minutes by walking.
โSelling mana potions! They can significantly increase your wisdom stat! Come and take a look!โ
โIโm looking for a party to do a quest!โ
โThis robe can increase your wisdom by 5 points! We have a red, blue and green robe each!โ
โSelling skill-books! There are ice ball, slow and fire ball books!โ
The distorted space was finally completely stabilised. Soo Hyuk could hear people around him yelling to one another.
โWhere is this?โ
Soo Hyuk looked around to determine which hall this was. As he looked around, he found a sign which had the location.
โโฆโฆโ
Soo Hyuk couldnโt help but scrunch his face after reading the sign.
