Soo Hyuk read the last passage and closed the book.
The white glow of the book disappeared, and a message appeared.
[Your satiation had dropped below 50%]
âHmm?â
Soo Hyuk, who was expecting a wisdom increase, was left flustered at the sudden notice.
âWas the book too thin?â
His wisdom probably didnât increase because the book was too thin. Soo Hyuk stood up and went to lounge area to refill his satiation.
When Soo Hyuk arrived at the lounge area, he opened his inventory to eat his soft bread. As he brought out 2 soft bread, he thought.
âLooks like I have to buy more bread.â
In his inventory, there was enough bread left for one more reading session.
âIâll buy them tomorrow.â
He wasnât going to buy them today, as he was planning to just spend the day reading comfortably. Soo Hyuk started to eat the bread calmly.
When he finished eating the last crumbs, his satiation rose to to 90%. After he checked his satiation, Soo Hyuk exited the lounge area and went to a bookshelf.
Soo Hyuk thought as he pulled out a book.
âIs that person waiting outside?â
That stranger had followed him out the Central Spire and had also come to the library almost two hours later.
âItâs likely from the way he followed me all the way here.â
Around 1 hour had passed since that strange man had come to the library and pestered Soo Hyuk, but Soo Hyuk still had a feeling that the man was still close by.
âWell, it doesnât matter.â
Soo Hyuk thought that it didnât matter anyway. Even if the man was going to harass him outside, rather than stubbornly not answering, he wasnât going to exit the library at all. Soo Hyuk pulled out six books from the bookshelf and returned to his desktop read.
âWhen is he going to come out?â
Adilo said to himself while frowning.
âItâs already been an hour.â
Adilo had patiently waited for an hour, yet there was no sign of the young man coming out at all.
âIs he just really slow at reading?â
Adilo wondered.
âLetâs just wait a bit more.â
Adilo decided to wait a bit more for the sake of the mysterious envelope.
30 minutes passed again. Adilo was still outside, waiting. But one could tell he starting to get irritated from his scary expression.
âHe shouldâve finished that book by now.â
No matter how slow he was, Adilo thought that it would be enough to finish that one book. Eventually, Adilo couldnât endure anymore and went inside again.
âHere you go.â
Adilo slapped his token at the NPC and stomped inside the library. When he entered the library, he immediately spotted the young man, who was surrounded by books again.
Adilo approached the young man while trying to look intimidating. However, the young man didnât even glance at him again. Adilo had already sort of expected this, so he then checked the books that were piled up on the desk.
âThis crazy bastard.â
They werenât the books from 1 hour and a half ago.
âHeâs reading again.â
They were new books. This made Adilo wonder about whether there were some important secrets in book.
âIs there something like a big secret in the books?â
The books did give you wisdom, but it was terribly inefficient. All the users already knew that the levelling was more time efficient than reading.
This man probably also knew about it as well, and yet, he was reading a book with five others piled around him.
âNo, even if there wereâŚâŚheâs reading too many books for there a to be a secret hidden in them.â
He had five books before, but now, there were six. Were they somehow all related?
âBut the titles are all different.â
They werenât a series or even about the same topic.
âThen is it for the wisdom?â
Then there was only one reason left. The wisdom bonuses. (TL: <s>But what about the reason why people read this book? Webnovels like this doesnât even make you smarter</s> .)
âIsnât that pretty dumb?â
Adilo thought that it was too foolish.
âArghâŚâŚâ
Adiloâs face scrunched up. He thought that his head was going to explode from the sheer stupidity of this man.
âSuch a waste of time.â
Adilo was waiting for the young man to come out of the library to get his envelope. He had waited for than an hour by now.
âI canât just give up like this.â
By now, Adilo wanted the envelope not because of Kim Hyuk, but to satisfy his own curiosity. He had never thought of being so close to the realm of the special class users until now. That was why he wanted to know so badly.
âHe will most likely leave if I stop him from reading.â
Just because PK was impossible didnât mean that other aggressive actions were, so Adilo covered the young manâs book with his hand again.
When his book was covered, the young man looked up with a hostile glare.
âWhat is it this time?â
The young man asked with a low voice.
âTell me.â
Adilo asked with a âpoliteâ smile.
ââŚâŚNo.â
The young man then slapped away his hand and started reading again.
Adilo covered it again.
The young man looked up again with intense anger written on his face. He then questioned menacingly,
âAre going to keep doing this until I tell you?â
âYep, are you going to tell me now?â
The young man didnât say anything for a while. After glaring at Adilo like he was his most hated nemesis, he just stood up silently.
âIs he leaving now?â
Adilo thought while smiling. Was he finally going to leave? But his smile quickly turned into a frown as he watched the young man. The young man was not going outside.
ââŚâŚThe private room?â
The young man was headed towards the private reading room. Although it charged 5 gold for 1 hour of use, they wouldnât get interrupted by other people.
âSh*t. This f*cking son of a b*tch.â
Adilo swore crazily as he glared at the young man entering the private room. He couldnât even watch him now.
âSh*t. I have to log out soon.â
It was almost time to log out. Although he could hold out for longer, the young man couldnât be interfered now, and he had to go to work early tomorrow.
âIf only I didnât have to go to work.â
This was too unlucky.
âYou better be here tomorrow.â
Adilo glared at the young man one more time and logged out.
* * *
[5 gold have been spent]
[Time left: 60 minutes]
Soo Hyuk was smouldering inside while he entered the room.
âHow much bread is five gold?â
The main reason he couldnât do the skill quests was because of gold. After all, he didnât need to spend gold on a skill that he wasnât going to use now.
Soo Hyuks stingy about gold that way. But now, he was spending gold for a completely nonsensical reason of hiding from a stalker in a game. Soo Hyuk flipped open the first book and thought.
âThat weirdo wouldnât still be outside, right?â
But what if he was still there?
âI canât just stay in here foreverâŚâŚâ
It was impossible to stay in here for long. It was possible for one or two hours, but he needed to pay an unbearable amount of gold that could be used for buying more bread.
âDo I have to read next to the NPC?â
The private reading room wasnât the only way to be uninterrupted. Users wouldnât be able to be violent around the librarian. In that situation, the librarianâs eject ability will be activated and that person wonât be able to enter the library for a month.
âWhat if he comes back after an hour?â
There librarian wasnât completely foolproof, because he didnât always stay in one spot. The librarian would be wandering around the library most of time, and now was one of those times.
âNo, letâs not worry about it. He canât keep waiting for me. Letâs just read.â
Getting rid of his worry, Soo Hyuk dived into the book once again.
* * *
â Kim Hyuk: Iâm busy today so I wonât be able to log on today.
âNice!â
Park Kyung-Ho exclaimed.
âIâm free from that nightmare today! HAHAHA!â
Park Kyung-Ho laughed crazily. The reason Park Kyung-Ho was so excited was because he didnât have to teach that little bastard today.
âNow, he should be at the library, right?â
Park Kyung-Ho had something to do. He had thought that accompanying Kim Hyuk in Pangea would complicate his schedule, but it looked like his worries were unfounded.
Park Kyung-Ho put down his smartphone and climbed into his capsule. He thought while he connected to Pangea.
âWill he still be at the private room?â
When he logged on to Pangea, Park Kyung-Ho no, Adilo went straight away to the library. When he entered the library, Adilo dashed straight to the private rooms and checked if they were available.
âHeâs not here?â
The young man wasnât in the private room today. After checking the private rooms, Adilo headed to the common reading area to see if he was here.
Adilo found the young man not long after.
âWhere is he going?â
Adilo had just caught him walking outside the library. Adilo didnât know where he was heading, but that wasnât important right now. What mattered was the fact that he was heading outside. Adilo followed the young man outside at a distance. When they came outside, Adilo quietly closed the distance while planning his next move.
âAn electro ball should be enough to one-shot him.â (TL: think pokemon)
The young manâs level was not that high. The reason Adilo thought that was because the young manâs equipment only consisted of common clothes and a low-grade leather armour.
It was the gear that you got from the tutorial village. Literally no one except the newbies would wear them.
Adilo thought that no matter how high his level was, it was level at most. Level 40 coupled with a Magicianâs low vitality and his low-level equipment would be instantly killed with just an electro ball from Adilo.
âElectro ball.â
Adilo conjured an electro ball as soon as he was close enough. When the electro ball was fully formed, he dashed madly towards the young man and threw the electro ball.
âWhat will he drop?â
Adilo wondered with a sinister smile as he watched the electro ball fly towards the young man. In his mind, the young manâs death was already guaranteed.
âHe better drop envelope.â
[You have attacked user âSoo Hyukâ.]
[Your relationship user âSoo Hyukâ has fallen to âhostileâ.]
The electro ball exploded.
âSo, his name is Soo Hyuk.â
Adilo found out Soo Hyukâs character name from his attack.
âWhat will he drop?â
Adilo stared at the explosion while he tilted his head in thought. What items would he drop?
ââŚâŚ?â
But when the dust cleared, Adilo could still see Soo Hyuk safe and sound.
âWhat? He didnât die?â
He was convinced that the attack had hit Soo Hyuk. But he didnât die.
âHowâŚâŚ?â
Adilo quickly shook his head to clear his mind and activated electro ball again.
âElectro ball.â
Although he didnât know why Soo Hyuk didnât die, he quickly aimed the electro ball at Soo Hyuk again.
The spell cackled with electricity as it flew through the air. But as it was nearing Soo Hyuk, something completely unexpected happened.
As the electro ball was about to hit Soo Hyuk, green gas filled the air instantly. The electro ball exploded at the moment it hit the green gas, but the explosion was nullified by the gas.
ââŚâŚWhat is that?!â
Adilo panicked at the sudden appearance of the mysterious green gas. When he was desperately trying to figure out his next action, the green gas engulfed Adilo and messages started to appear.
[You have been poisoned by the Blood Trollâs Poison.]
[You have been inflicted bleed for 1 minute.]
[You have been poisoned by the Red Snake Kapouriâs Poison.]
[You have been paralysed for 5 minutes.]
* * *
The Tower of Poison.
âHe still hasnât arrived yet?â
Pavian asked.
ââŚâŚYes.â
Kale answered. He was at a loss as well.
âDidnât he get the envelope?â
âYes, he did.â
âThen why isnât he coming?!â
Kale was trying to come up with reasons as to why the new talent still hadnât arrived as Pavian fired off question nonstop.
âWell, he did leave the SpireâŚâŚâ
The Central Spire had contacted them and said that the new talent had left already. Did something happen on the way?
âHaaâŚâŚâ
Pavian sighed deeply.
âThe Central Spire isnât even that far from here. Enough time shouldâve passed for someone to arrive at the tower with plenty of time left over. So why wasnât he here yet?!
âWait,â
âCould it beâŚâŚâ
Pavian suddenly froze. It was like he had been struck by lightning.
âKidnapped?â
