I finally opened the door to leave the shabby building.
Then, instead of the sight I had seen when I came in, a different world unfolded.
Zion’s words that any door that was opened while holding the wooden ring would lead to the library were true.
Dojin went through the door.
The world felt different, as if passing through a dense membrane.
This is due to excessively high mana saturation.
As pure mana filled the entire space, my head started spinning and breathing became difficult.
A hot, dull pain arose in my right hand, where the magic circuit was engraved.
A feeling of pressure that is on a whole other level than when I first came into my previous life.
Well, at that time I didn’t enter at such a low level.
But it wasn’t unbearable.
[
[Achievement Reward: Intelligence Ability +10]
Even if it is an unbearable situation where messages like this are floating before your eyes, you have to endure it.
Upon visiting the Manri Library, your Intelligence will increase by 10 as an achievement reward.
And you’ll be able to gain quite a bit of intelligence stats while you’re in this space.
‘Is this what it means to become stronger just by breathing?’
Dojin took several deep breaths.
It still felt like I was drinking something sticky, but it tasted sweet when I thought of it as fertilizer for growth.
“Cough! Cough!”
No, it wasn’t as sweet as honey.
As I kept trying to drink a little more, I started to feel pain as if my lungs were filled with water.
Dojin’s breathing, which had been suffering from a cough that would not stop for a long time, had become so cautious that it could no longer be calm.
‘I thought I was losing.’
Stop wasting time and get started on what needs to be done quickly.
Dojin, who had regained his senses after a bout of shortness of breath, walked cautiously.
The surrounding scenery changes accordingly.
Even though I only took one step, the surrounding area seemed distant.
It felt like I was walking hundreds of meters with each step.
In this space, there was no need to worry about how to find the place you wanted or what you wanted.
Zion Grace’s artistic space is a crystallization of magic, reading the visitor’s conscious and subconscious mind and guiding them to the place where what they want is stored.
Of course, the only area allowed to a 1-star wizard was the lowest floor, but Dojin was grateful for that alone.
‘… There are so many of them.’
After about ten steps, we arrived at a place where there were tens and hundreds of bookshelves filled with books, lined up endlessly.
It would take a really long time to read all of this, but in fact, Dojin couldn’t read all the books here even if he wanted to.
In the library of Wanli, not only are there restrictions on the places that wizards with lower ranks can go, but also on the materials they can read.
Dojin, a 1-star wizard, could naturally only touch the lowest-grade repositories on the lowest floor.
So, Dojin started to pick out books he could choose from among the books on the shelf.
[Understanding Mana]
-Basic Magic Knowledge Book
-Author: Professor Eric Kendra
-Eligibility: 1-star magic circuit
As I pulled out the first book I found, information about the book appeared out of thin air.
It is not a holographic screen that is visible only to the user, but rather a light font created by magic.
Dojin picked out other books in succession.
[Understanding the basic concepts of surgery]
-Basic Magic Knowledge Book
-Author: Duke Mui Bondrey
-Eligibility: 1-star magic circuit
[Magic Circle Components]
-Basic Magic Knowledge Book
-Author: Professor Sergei Bener
-Eligibility: 1-star magic circuit
Dojin, who had checked the information in the book, threw all the books except for ‘Understanding Mana’ on the floor.
Then I sat down on the floor and opened the book.
「Mana is the most fundamental thing that makes up everything. Yes, it is something. We still don’t know what it is. We only see it as a phenomenon and understand it empirically. We magicians use this pure mana as a magical material. When mana is processed to make it easier to activate magic, the magical power created is called magic power… … . 」
That’s how the reading began.
It wasn’t just simple reading, of course.
There’s no way that each and every book placed here is an ordinary book.
Even the book Dojin was holding right now was a magic book that contained the knowledge and understanding of a high-level magician.
A real magic book that uses magical tools, including leather, paper, ink, pens, and even a knife used to carve patterns into the leather cover.
If we were to judge the value, each and every one of them would be a treasure in itself, a ‘real’ book containing magical achievements.
Just by reading, a magical phenomenon occurs where part of the author’s ‘understanding’ is conveyed to the reader.
[Mana affinity slightly increases.]
[Intelligence ability increases by 1 point.]
This book is intended to help you understand mana, as your mana affinity grows.
‘Well, that’s just the setting.’

Tak. Dojin closed the book he had finished reading and picked up another book next to him.
It’s not a place you can stay indefinitely, so you have to get as much as you can within the limited time.
That was the reason Dojin’s hands were a little busy turning the pages of the book.
Fall… Fall… Fall… … .
This ‘Understanding the Basic Concepts of Surgery’ was a book written on the skin of some animal, not on paper.
Perhaps the leather used instead of paper is human.
The author of this book, Mui Bondrei, is a die-hard magical fundamentalist known even in a wizarding society full of lunatics.
“The term ‘art’ refers to artificially causing miracles. There are various types of arts. They are called by many names such as magic, sorcery, and witchcraft, and each of them creates arts in its own unique way and direction. However, in the end, they are all the same in that they are acts of artificially interfering with the laws of the world to bring about phenomena that are difficult to occur naturally, whether small or large. This is the basis for calling them all magic… . . . “
It was more fun than I thought to recall the settings of LOST that I had forgotten while playing the game out of habit.
[The durability of the magic circuit slightly increases.]
[The mana processing efficiency of the magic circuit slightly increases.]
[Intelligence ability increases by 1 point.]
It goes up. Anything goes up. Anything goes up.
There is no gamer who can rest in this situation.
Dojin was one of the most extreme among them, so he had no rest.
Dojin, who was madly obsessed with reading books related to magic circles, took out any book he could get his hands on and read it.
Among them, there were also magic skill books that contained the skills themselves rather than basic magical knowledge.
The taste of the skill book price solidifying every time I looked for it was sweet.
[You have acquired the “Ignition” skill.]
Starting with the 1-star magic “Ignition,” basic attack magic was accumulated in the skill window.
This was all the synergy effect of the great magic circle installed in this space by the great archmage Sion Grace and the unsullied, pure low-level body.
Even if a high-level user enters, the space where growth is possible to some extent is empty, so the accumulation is fast.
‘I’m starting to get hungry.’
Dojin, who had been reading a book for a while, raised his head out of hunger.
Even if you are a regenian, you will die if you starve.
But there was no need to worry.
Dojin came here prepared to be buried here, and he had made all the preparations for it.
[Bad quality jerky]
[hard bread]
[water]
Here is a list of food items we purchased at the grocery store as soon as we arrived in Jeron.
I spent half of the gold I received as a reward at the gate here.
I bought meat and bread with the money that would have been enough to buy one 1-star skill book.
It also has cheap, smelt-like modifiers like ‘bad’ and ‘stiff’ attached to it.
Even the water was brought from the fountain near the tower.
The amount of food we have saved by saving money to the extreme is enough to last us here for a month.
Of course, if you live on this diet for a month, your health will deteriorate.
But what does it matter?
Health? How do you take care of that?
All that can be solved later if you eat a lot of broccoli.
Now was the time to take on more important things.
Dojin chewed the tough, bloody jerky and ate the hard bread, melting it in his mouth with water.
“This time, we will learn about how to activate a spell by omitting its components.”
Meanwhile, Dojin’s eyes were following the letters written in the book.

[Achievement Reward: Stamina +1]
I earned an achievement for reading more than 20 books a day.
[
[Achievement Reward: Stamina +3]
I also got an achievement that required me to do that consistently for a week.
[
[Achievement Reward: Stamina +5]
And a fortnight passed.
widely.
Dojin, who had finished another book, looked around.
‘Hmm… No matter how much I look at it now, it seems like there are no books I can read.’
I read so hard that I’ve already finished all the books in this section.
To be exact, I read all of the ‘Books that a 1-star wizard can read’.
“Ugh… …! Well, I can’t read because I don’t have a book. The problem is that I’m starving because I don’t have food.”
Dojin stood on his own two feet and stretched for the first time in a long time.
My body, stiff from sitting and reading a book for a long time, screamed loudly even with light stretching.
Dojin, who had finished stretching that made him feel like his bones were breaking, confirmed the results of his two weeks of hard work reading books.
Dojin
Level: 8
Class: Wizard
Strength: 7
Agility: 8
Stamina: 61
Intelligence: 54
Skill: (5) [Open]
It was rewarding to practice for two weeks listening to the sound of the system-certified bookworm.
The fact that his intelligence stat has already risen to 54 without investing a single bonus point means that he has become a stat monster that is hard to find a rival at the same level.
There has also been great progress in skills.
The magic “Phenomenon”, which is one of the most useful, was learned by receiving a skill book from Sisala Omen.
Including basic attribute magic such as “Ignition”, “Wind Arrow”, “Ice Arrow”, and “Light”.
Considering that a former magic user from the Imperial Academy would start out learning only two or three spells, it could be said to be an excessively wealthy start.
Besides, Dojin is still in the library.
It means that you can grow more here if you just find more books to read.
‘Now that we’ve rested a bit, should we go?’
Dojin took a step.
But is it because I’ve been sleeping in singer mode for too long?
My head suddenly became dizzy.
Maybe the problem occurred because I had been sitting for so long and then got up.
About 1 to 2 seconds.
Dojin’s consciousness flew away.
