The lights in the reading room remained bright, ti continued its slow passage.
Then, under the Hero’s gaze, the shadows between the bookshelves suddenly began to writhe.
“As I thought, I guessed you’d like a place like this.” Noticing this uninvited guest, the Hero chuckled softly.
Hunting Knowledge surged out of the crevices of the bookshelves, materializing into a solid black orb before the Hero, from within its unreachable darkness, ca the sound of pages turning.
‘We et again, Hero.’

[World Geography: Realm Portal Continent]
[Catalog: Country Distribution]
The Northern Empire: The largest, most populous, and strongest country, with high elevation, territory mainly consisting of mountains, ruled by the Dragonborn Emperor, who values bloodline; the Demon race holds a transcendent status.
The Southern Kingdom: The second-largest country, located in a corner of the continent almost isolated from other nations, despite barren surroundings, resources within are adequate, and terrain is varied, believed to be where human supremacy prevails.
Hundred Beasts Federation: Similar in size to the Kingdom, a multi-species nation inhabited by various Beastman Species, male Beastn possess beast-like heads, while female Beastn have human-like appearances but with notable beast traits, with superior physical capabilities compared to humans.
Alien Machinery City: An independent city-state, a giant steel tropolis gathering many alien machine engineers and chanical engineers where those in the Kingdom aspiring in Arcane Engineering go to study at any cost. (Author: Border Count)
Glory War Country: The Centaur nation, once dominated the plains, has fought many battles with neighboring countries, these mighty nomadic warriors are now masters of the plains and forests.
Centaurs are generally considered part of the Beastman Species but, unlike other beastn, they have human torsos and horse bodies.
The significant difference leads them to beco independent from the Hundred Beasts Federation.
It is said that there are also centaurs with human bodies and horse heads, possessing Fantasy Level demon powers.
Three Great Duchies: Ruled by humans, a small duchy that separated from the Empire due to different ideologies, also houses quite a number of Subhumans.

[World Geography: Species]
[Regarding the definition of species]
Generally speaking, there exist Humankind, Abnormal People, Beastn, and Demons, these four major categories.
The condition for distinction is the extent of influence by Magic Elents.
Humankind: Can only absorb Magic Elents and refine Magic Power through acquired training, thus there is great variability in strength limits, talents, and cultures are diverse as well.
Abnormal People: Magic Elent influence manifests within the bloodline, a species with physical differences from humans, possesses better but relatively specific talents than humans, with longer average lifespans, including elves and dwarves.
People adhering to human supremacy call them Subhumans.
Beastn: Magic Elents have completely altered the body, species with various non-human traits, possess excellent physical capabilities but are also influenced by instincts, like feline beastn will uncontrollably chase moving objects.
So Beastman Species also have innate spellcasting abilities but still need training to absorb Magic Elents.
Demons: Magic Elent influence deeply penetrates the soul, considered humanoid magic creatures, strength grows as they mature without needing active training.
However, for this reason, demons can hardly resist the instincts of their species,
like Snow Won seeking warmth for their souls, thus can only stay away from humans. Vampires crave fresh blood, deed as evil magic creatures, even the Empire, friendly to demons, won’t accept them.
Beastn and demons, sotis hard to distinguish by appearance, like winged people devolved from angels, and female birdn with bird-like traits, are actually different species, but often confused.
Including Harpies, regarded as magic creatures, often considered Beastn.

‘We et again, Hero, you have achieved remarkable Growth.’
The darkness erging from the gaps in the bookshelves converged at eye level with the Hero into a perfect sphere, amidst the sound of pages turning, Hunting Knowledge conveyed its thoughts.
“Thank you.” The Hero pursed his lips, smiling slightly.
‘Before fulfilling our Agreent, I want to say, this library is very impressive, filled with many valuable pieces of knowledge.
‘The Desire for knowledge is to be spread, the mission of books is to be read, our forms of existence are actually quite similar to this library.’
The Conceptual Elent that hunts lost and forbidden knowledge, records and spreads them; the librarian that searches, cherishes, and stores dangerous books in the library for people to read.
Although entirely different existences, in form, they’re remarkably similar.
‘Perhaps in the future, our library will welco the day it opens to Humankind, and you’ll soon beco our first visitor.’ In the usually calm tones of the Knowledge Hunter, a hint of what seed like anticipation surfaced at this mont.
‘But before that, I wish to recomnd a book to you.’
The sound of pages turning arose again, countless books around seed to simultaneously co to life, as pages expanded and contracted, pulsating as if breathing.
