– Volume 16, Episode 4
379. 78th Floor, Library of All Worlds (4)
Taesan left the bewildered Jorge behind and entered the secret room. The ghost, who came to his senses belatedly, asked.
[what. How did you find it so quickly?]
“You know that too.”
[What is that… Ah.]
Even the ghost realized it belatedly.
The ghost knows that Taishan has gone back in time. And
he knew that one adventurer was involved in the process.
The ghost shut up. Taesan passed through the passage and entered the room.
There was a book in the small room.
Taesan grabbed the book.
[Analysis of reading methods for in-depth exploration of knowledge.]
Tae-San came out with a book. He showed the book to Jorge, who stared blankly at him.
“this. Did you read it?”
“….no.”
Jorge shook his head.
“This is the first book I read.”
“okay.”
“How did you find it right there?”
Jorge couldn’t understand.
This was the domain of Metis. The power of reconnaissance did not work. It took pure judgment, time and luck to discover the secret room.
But to find the secret room right away.
“You…”
“Because you have your own way.”
Taesan sat down on a chair and opened a book. The contents of the book were as the title. I wasn’t very interested in it, but it was worth reading anyway.
And after reading the entire book, Tae San was able to acquire a skill.
[You got the special always-on skill [Speed Poison].]
‘It’s real.’
A book that allows you to acquire skills related to it just by reading it. That’s
why it was hidden in a place called the secret room.
Taesan, who obtained the skill, handed the book to Jorge. Jorge accepted the book with embarrassment.
“Admit it. I don’t know how you found it, but you brought me a book I couldn’t read. Congratulations. You have met the clearing conditions of the 78th floor.”
Now Mount Tai could descend towards the 79th floor at any time.
“You can go down, or you can stay here and accumulate knowledge. Do what you feel comfortable
with.”
“I think so.”
Taesan moved between the bookshelves again.
Rather than reading a book, Jorge opened his mouth with an expression of surprise at the movement as if he was looking for something.
“…I hope you are.”
“found.”
Kurleung!
The bookshelf moved and I could see the passage beyond it.
[You found the second secret room
.]
[First discovery bonus]
[Strength + 10
[Agility + 10]
[Intelligence + 10]
Jorge is speechless now.
* * *
Taishan continued to wander from place to place, the library of all things.
As a result, it wasn’t long before they found six secret rooms.
[You found the sixth secret room.]
[Initial discovery bonus]
[Attack power + 5
[Defense + 5]
[Ha.]
The ghost couldn’t hold back its admiration.
[The public noticed, but… this
is surprising.]
The ghost knew about Lee Tae-yeon.
Taesan talked about her from time to time, but meeting Lee Taeyeon, who was embodied in the ordeal of the god of despair, was the most important.
Although it was a one-time encounter, the ghost was able to know what kind of person this Taeyeon was.
A person who is timid and wants to run away, but cannot abandon his responsibility and eventually moves forward.
That was Lee Tae-yeon the ghost saw. I knew that
she
had enough talent to clear the labyrinth, but I thought she was clearly lacking compared to Taesan.
But this was more than he expected.
The ghost didn’t even notice that there was a secret room here. Not only him, but other adventurers as well. Searching for a secret room in a vast library where reconnaissance is not possible. It was close to impossible.
However, Lee Tae-yeon found a secret room here. It wasn’t just one, it was several.
[In a sense, he’s greater than you.]
“That’s great.”
She blamed herself, but she was a great enough person.
It’s been quite a while since she talked about the 78th floor, but Tai San still remembered its approximate location.
It was because Lee Tae-yeon at that time was talking to the community about how far away each day was. She, who was struggling in the depths, wanted to tell people her story without even trying. The lines of writing that were close to high
seas were embedded in Taesan’s brain.
It’s been a long time since I couldn’t remember it accurately, but now Taesan had the ability to find it on his own if he had only rough information.
“…really amazing.”
Jorge, who was watching the scene, also muttered. He had been following Tae-san with the book he was reading since Tae-san found the second secret room.
Koo Goo Goo!
[You have found the seventh secret room.]
Taesan tried to go inside as before.
But Tong Tong refused Taesan. Taesan’s body was pushed back.
Taesan looked down the aisle.
The gently swaying power was rejecting the visitor.
[The secret room of the demon god.]
[Can’t enter unless God permits it.]
“What is this?”
“I told you. There is knowledge here that can only be obtained by being qualified. The Demon God’s room in front of you is one of them.”
Jorge explained.
“As this place is called the library of all things, you can also get information about the gods. But not everyone has access to it. Access is only possible by asking permission from God. virtually impossible to give up.”
Taeyeon Lee said the same thing. There were times when I found a secret room but couldn’t enter it
.
Taesan put her hand on the aisle.
The power to guard the passage shook as if observing the opponent.
And Taesan felt the gaze from beyond his strength. It was a familiar gaze that I had felt over and over again.
The owner of the gaze smiled softly.
At the same time, the restrictions on the power to guard the passage disappeared.
“…Nonsense.”
Jorge’s eyes twitched.
Taesan went inside. There
lay an orb of power that glowed pitch-black.
The sphere seeped toward Mount Tai.
[You have acquired the special always-on skill [Traces of Darkness].]
Acquisition of the skill.
At the same time, memories flooded Taesan’s mind.
* * *
After that, Taesan kept looking for the secret room, and found several more secret rooms related to gods, such as the demon’s room.
Rakiratas, the god of struggle and death, and Baltazar, the god of victory.
Both of them allowed Tae-san access to his secret chamber, so Tae-san was able to obtain the reward without much difficulty.
Taesan found more than 15 secret rooms.
Jorge
watched the scene without saying anything.
‘What the hell is this guy?’
He was very astonished.
I knew that Taishan was strong. The library of all things is his domain. It was natural to grasp the strength of the visitors. It was after he had already figured out that Taesan had powers beyond mortality.
It was a surprise, but I wasn’t embarrassed. This was a place where even the strong who passed the 78th floor continued to visit. Right now, a person much stronger than Taishan was also staying here.
However, when Taesan kept finding the secret room, he couldn’t help but be embarrassed.
It would take months to find one no matter how great the analytical skills were, but I found ten such secret rooms in an instant.
I thought about the possibility that someone had heard it, but it was a secret that no one could find out in the first place. It was impossible to listen to others.
And it didn’t end there.
Divine Recognition.
Jorge, the manager of this place, knew. The library of all things was an important place for the gods as it also contained information about various gods.
However, God himself allowed the knowledge that contained his secrets.
It meant that they valued Taishan as more than an apostle and worthy of becoming their trustee.
Not even one, but three gods.
‘Interesting.’
Jorge’s eyes shone.
He is a seeker driven mad by knowledge.
After craving and longing for knowledge, he was recognized by the god of knowledge and became the manager of this place.
And now, the existence of Taesan was stimulating his desire for knowledge. Jorge quietly observed Mt.
Taesan, who continued to search for the secret room, paused his search. Got enough. After organizing what I had obtained, I was thinking of starting the search again.
Each initial discovery bonus wasn’t that big, but
after fifteen times, it became quite a significant number. That alone was worth the exploration of the secret room.
The reward Taesan obtained was five books. seven items. And it was God’s secret and skill set.
All seven items were equipment related to magic and black magic. I was thinking of offering it as a tribute.
Most of the five books were skills that helped build knowledge. It didn’t seem to have much of an impact on the battle.
It wasn’t very useful, so after acquiring the skill,
he handed it all over to Jorge. Jorge received it with a satisfied face.
The divine secret reward was also quite useful. Each of them was able to acquire the appropriate skill.
In the case of demons, it was a skill that increased the power of black magic. Rakiratas’s was a skill that instantaneously raised stats when in a dying state.
From Baltazara, the god of victory, if you defeat a certain number of monsters of the same type, you can get additional stats when dealing with that monster
.
It was a useful skill overall, including the fact that it was a skill that was always activated, so there was no need to worry about it.
And in the secret room related to God, he got a memory along with a skill.
I couldn’t understand it at the time because it was randomly mixed, but I could understand it now that my thoughts were sorted out to some extent.
It was a memory of a time when the gods were mortal.
Perhaps this is why it can only be accessed with God’s approval.
It was the moment when Taesan was slowly trying to recall his memories.
that buck that buck
Footsteps were heard. A popular chuck was getting closer.
Jorge frowned.
“A troublesome old man has come to visit.”
“Don’t do that too much. Mr. Jorge.”
A voice in my memory rang. However, the emotions contained in it were so different from me.
The voice had no power.
A golden old man appeared from somewhere between the bookshelves with a blank face.
“They’re the people we’re supposed to be with here for a long time to come, so we need to get to know each other better.”
“I have no intention of making friends with a madman.”
Jorge said bluntly. He seemed to hate the old man quite a bit.
But the old man didn’t care.
I just sat blankly in my chair. He didn’t seem to notice Taesan right next to him
.
The old man’s condition was strange. Eventually, Taesan opened his mouth.
“hello.”
“hmm?”
Only then did the old man catch Taesan.
The old man’s pupils widened when he saw Taesan’s face.
“…Have you reached this place already?”
“Long time no see. Einzhar.”
[You have encountered the one who found God.]
* * *
Einzhar.
“ha ha ha!”
Einzhar saw the mountain and laughed.
“Fast. After all, he is a talent that I recognized. How can you get here so quickly!”
“Because I tried. Did you find what you were looking for?”
dear goddess. A paladin who entered the labyrinth in search of Levinenov.
Taesan told him where Levinenov was, and it was right here. It was on the 78th floor.
Even after quite a while, Einz Har was still here. It was not known whether he had achieved his purpose.
“…Did you find what you were looking for?”
Suddenly, Einzhar’s face changed.
“okay. found it I found it.”
he grinned.
It was a bright smile as if there was nothing to worry about. However, Taesan rather felt a sense of alienation from the appearance that looked so bright.
“It’s all thanks to you. I found Mr. Levy Nenov.”
“…Is that so. Congratulations.”
Something was strange.
Taesan remembered Einzhar. He fanatically believed in his god, but otherwise he was a decent man. He was always energetic, and his actions and thoughts were the same.
But now he was doing something strange. I couldn’t pinpoint it, but it felt like I was acting calm in front of him.
“…It just went well.”
Einzhar clapped his hands. A smile that felt a sense of alienation turned to Taesan.
“Hey, would you like to meet Mr. Levinenov with me?”
Level up with skill
