Did the second volu turn blue because he completed the first inheritance quest?
“Is there a requirent to unlocking more quests?”
No matter how he looked at the situation, the second book only changed because he fulfilled so condition. Although he wasn’t sure why the first volu was glowing blue in the first place, he knew why the second volu was.
Completion of the first inheritance quest. That was the requirent. After he stared at the book glowing in blue, he turned his head to look at the first and third volus.
The first volu was not sparkling like the books next to it.
“The third volu is still white.”
The third book was still the sa as when he got the quest. Only the second volu had changed.
“And if I completed the second books quest……”
The third volu could change to a blue colour like the second book. He only had to read the second volu, get the quest and complete it.
Walter snapped out of his thoughts and looked back towards the second volu. It was ti. Walter had started to take the first step when……
Whoosh!
Sothing suddenly appeared in front of him! A split second later, Walter realised that it was a young man. Calming himself, Walter thought.
“So there are still people going to the library.”
He had even considered the possibility of the library being forgotten. But it seed like this was not the case, as there was a user in front of him.
The young man suddenly turned around and t eyes with Walter.
“……”
“……”
To break the awkward atmosphere, Walter forcibly smiled and greeted the other user.
“H-hello.”
“Ah, Nice to et you too.”
“……”
“……”
An awkward silence fell again after the greeting. After a few seconds, the young man turned around and started to walk away.
“No, wait.”
Walter was pulling out the second volu of ‘The Legend of Larkan’ when he suddenly looked at the first volu. Walter had just had a sudden thought.
“Can other people still do the quests that I’ve completed?”
Walter was curious about whether the special quests could be repeated. At least, he wanted to know if it was possible for ‘Larkan’s First Inheritance’.
“If he can see blue too……”
That ant that people could get the special quests that other people had completed.
“I have to ask.”
Walter was planning to ask the young man from before whether he thought the book was glowing blue or white. Of course, you needed to fulfil a requirent for the book to glow blue, but Walter was not worried about that as he was just a new Magician at level 10 when he got the quest.
Although he didn’t know what the requirent was, he couldn’t think of anything else that might’ve triggered the blue glow. This ant that the young man had most likely also fulfilled the requirent. Walter pulled out the first volu and headed towards where the young man had gone.
The young man was sitting at a desk when Walter found him again. He was reading a book while surrounded by 4 other books. The books were also all glowing with a white colour.
Walter approached the desk and sat down on the chair opposite to the young man, waiting for the other person to make eye contact.
“……?”
However, the young man didn’t make eye contact no matter how hard Walter stared at him. Walter was gradually getting more and more flustered the longer he waited.
“What kind of concentration is this?……”
At first, Walter had just patiently waited. He had also coughed slightly to get his attention. But the young man hadn’t reacted at all! He was focused completely on reading his book.
“If this goes on, I’d feel guilty for interrupting.”
Walter wanted to excuse himself now. But how could he excuse himself to the other party if they weren’t even paying attention?
“But his reading speed is really fast.”
How long would he take to finish the book? Walter had even started counting!
“It looks like it’s going to take so ti.”
The young man was reading at an unbelieving fast rate. It was hard to believe that he’d read every single word before flipping the page. But the book also one of the thicker books in this library. No matter how fast he read, it going to take so ti.
“Yes, let’s wait.”
After pondering hard, Walter ultimately decided to wait for the young man to finish. Of course, he wasn’t just going to sit there. Walter put the first volu of ‘The Legend of Larkan’ on the desk and started reading the second volu.

“And that’s all of them.”
Soo Hyuk had read all the skill quests and closed the tab. He was currently walking in the tunnel, towards the warp magic circle.
He had nothing to do here. The next ti he was going to co here was probably when he reached level 100 and could open another door.
Soo Hyuk arrived at the end of the tunnel and stepped on the magic circle. A screen with the warp options appeared, and Soo Hyuk tapped on Matab Library.
[Warping to ‘Matab Library’.]
A magic circle lit up at the sa ti as the ssage appeared, and the surrounding space began to distort.
After a flash of bright light, Soo Hyuk found himself in a familiar scenery. Soo Hyuk turned to a bookcase to pick up a book.
“……!”
When he turned around, he suddenly saw another man right in front of him. There was an awkward silence.
“H-hello.”
Sensing the awkward atmosphere, the man smiled while greeting him. Soo Hyuk hurriedly greeted him back and after another round of awkward silence, he hastily turned around and went to a desk.
“They cleaned it up as expected.”
Soo Hyuk saw his old spot when he arrived at the clearing filled with desks. He had previously left three books there, but it was empty now. He had already realised this when he was reading through his quests. Soo Hyuk picked random books from a nearby bookcase and started reading at a desk.
“Wow, this is quite thick.”
Soo Hyuk thought as he admired the book that was nearly 2 tis as thick as the other books. Soo Hyuk was especially fond of thick books since he could read more without interruption. Soo Hyuk had also chosen 4 other books aside from the thick book. Soo Hyuk had started reading the thick book as soon as he sat down at a desk.
[Wisdom has increased by 1.]
[Wisdom has increased by 1.]
Soo Hyuk smiled at the ssages. Although thick books took a longer ti, if they were thick enough, they also gave extra wisdom.
“Thick books are more comfortable to read, and they also give more wisdom.”
Soo Hyuk didn’t know in the beginning, but as he read more books in the Matab Library, he had discovered this fact. The fact that even the white books could give 2 points of wisdom if they were thick enough. Like now, when he gained 2 wisdom.
Soo Hyuk looked up from the now dark book as he closed it. But Soo Hyuk couldn’t help but panic slightly when he looked up.
“……Huh.?”
Soo Hyuk stared at the young man on the other side of his desk with a flustered expression. It was the person who greeted him previously in the library.
“Why……”
Why was the young man sitting opposite him? There were lots of spare seats around them. In fact, there was no one else inside the library currently. So why did he choose to sit opposite him?
“Ah!”
While Soo Hyuk was deep in thought, he suddenly heard a voice. He looked towards the source of the voice, which was the young man that he had been thinking about.
“So, you finished reading.”
Said the young man when Soo Hyuk made eye contact.
“……Did he wait for ?”
From the way he talked, it seed like this was the case.
“Why though?”
He was unfamiliar to Soo Hyuk. A stranger.
“Does he need sothing from ?”
As Soo Hyuk was thinking, he asked the unfamiliar young man.
“Did you perhaps wait for ?”
“Yes, I waited for you to finish that book.”
The young man replied as he nodded to his question.
“Why did you wait for ?”
Soo Hyuk asked again. He was curious as to why this unfamiliar man had waited this long for him.
“So, the thing is……”
The young man started to say, he held up a book while grinning. It was a normal white book.
“The Legend of Larkan 1?”
Soo Hyuk checked the title and looked up at the young man again. Why did this person suddenly give this book to ? Sensing his suspicion, the young man said to Soo Hyuk.
“What colour do you see?”
His question was simple. It was about the colour of the book.
“You an the glow, right?”
Soo Hyuk asked the young man, just to make sure.
“Yes.”
The man replied while nodding.
“White.”
“White?”
The young man repeated.
“Yes.”
This ti, Soo Hyuk nodded.
“Is sothing there?”
Soo Hyuk wondered as he stared at ‘The Legend of Larkan 1’ in the young man’s hands.
“Why is he asking that?”
While he was wondering, the young man suddenly exclaid.
“I see. Thank you for your answer!”
“Did you wait just to ask that question?”
The young man did not imdiately reply to his question.
“……Yes.”
Then, looking like he decided sothing, he continued.
“Perhaps.”
As soon as the young man opened his mouth again, Soo Hyuk also concentrated.
“Do you know the blue glow?”
“Yes, I know about it.”
Not only the blue glow, Soo Hyuk also knew about the red and purple colours. Soo Hyuk answered while nodding.
“Then this makes this a lot easier.”
The young man then continued.
“Actually, this book is blue for .”
“……Really?”
Soo Hyuk was flustered again. The young man was holding ‘the Legend of Larkan 1’, and it was definitely white. But it was blue for him?
“Don’t tell ……”
Soo Hyuk suddenly thought of a possibility.
“It’s different for every user?”
Then Soo Hyuk changed his thought after considering the situation more.
“No, it can’t be like that.”
The books are different for every user? Then it was too unfair. So users would get good quests while so would get bad ones.
In ‘Pangea’, hard work and effort was a large part of the ga. There was so luck, but ultimately, you had to work hard to be good at the ga. But if the quests that users could get from the library depended solely on luck, then a hardworking user might get a trash title while a casual user might get a godly item with just more work than usual. Soo Hyuk thought that this wasn’t the case as it was just too unfair.
“Then it’s special requirents?”
Soo Hyuk had read many books so far, and there was a lot of fantasy novels set in Pangea. Although it wasn’t all of them, so required certain conditions to be fulfilled to get a special item. Soo Hyuk thought that special quests also worked the sa way.
“And this book.”
The young man pulled out another white book, and continued,
“It was white at first but turned blue.”
Soo Hyuk finally ca to a conclusion after hearing his words.
