Absorbing and refining the new knowledge in his head, Felix took deep breaths as many ideas of new skills started to gather in his mind.
'Now things are starting to make more sense...'
The main reason he ca to the combat section of the library was to read books and understand the way the people of this world fought, and the various kinds of techniques that they used.
So that when he creates skills, it wouldn't be sothing completely off from what they could do, making him appear as the odd one and then beco the target of their suspicion.
It wouldn't matter if he was one of the strongest in the world, but he was still weak, and displaying such strange skills would only get him in troubleso situations.
He didn't want kingdoms to capture him and so crazy mages to experint on him for his uniqueness.
Opening his eyes, Felix used the fallen shelves as support and got up from the floor.
It seed there was a toll on his body, especially the head, from continuously reading hundreds of books in one take.
"Growl~"
Hearing the weak sound from his stomach, Felix smiled wrily and made his way towards the door of the library.
On his way, he suddenly stopped as he saw a person sitting on a chair elegantly amidst the chaotic scene of the library.
It was a woman wearing a brown robe, which couldn't hide her tender and curvy figure, but the mask on her head completely hid her face except for her green charming eyes.
Her presence seed to have turned the tumbled-down library into a picturesque and aesthetic scene, adding beauty and elegance to the ssy place.
Felix narrowed his eyes on her, wondering where she got the chair from when he had to just sit on the floor, and then furrowed his brows as she looked familiar.
'Hmm...where have I seen her...'
As he churned his exhausted mind to recall where he had seen her, his vision slightly faltered, stopping him from continuing to stare at her.
'Ugh, whatever. I am in no mood for that now...'
Holding his hungry and grumbling tummy, Felix quickly walked out of the library without making a single sound and thus failed to notice the woman who had turned towards him.
"Phantom, I didn't think you'd get involved in this...", she muttered while staring at his leaving figure, her calculating eyes turning brighter.
*****
After coming out from the Forbidden Library, Felix headed directly to the Nether Cuisine, a facility created specifically to satisfy the appetite of the elites in the underworld.
'I just hope this place isn't dysfunctional or chaotic like the other two...'
Standing before a door present within a tunnel inside the corridor, he wished himself safety and protection from whatever was inside and pushed open the door to enter it.
A dim golden light shined on his face the mont he stepped inside, and his eyes widened in surprise, not at sothing that completely blew his mind but at the simple yet classy design of the restaurant.
'This is still against normalcy, but it isn't unlikeable.'
The entire place seed to have been carved out within the ground. The walls, the floors, and the ceilings were literally made up of earth, or in simple terms, this place was a 'cave'.
There were various tunnels Felix could see at the entrance, with boards above them ntioning different types of cuisines, like vegetables, at, monsters, seafood, and others.
There was even a tunnel labelled 'posion', which Felix didn't want to have on his empty stomach.
Beside the entrance, there were a few desks for asking directions and help, but Felix didn't waste ti there and deftly walked towards where his heart desired.
'The at Section.'
Dragging his legs into the tunnel, Felix arrived at a hollow place that had plenty of empty tables and chairs, with only a few people dining.
His hunger had reached its peak, so he quickly grabbed a seat and gestured at a waiter nearby.
"Please bring sothing to eat that'll arrive in the shortest ti possible. Also, don't be stingy with the quantity and send more."
The waiter who heard the strange order nodded hurriedly and ran away from the hungry stare the custor was giving.
A few seconds later, the sa waiter pushed a cart and arrived beside Felix, giving him plates and plates of food full of ats.
Felix didn't care what was present before him and dived into the plates, his hands grabbing whatever he could find on the table before throwing it into his mouth.
The waiter and the other custors glanced at him speechlessly, wondering what kind of heavy work he had done before coming here.
Twenty minutes later, Felix finished eating until his tummy got filled and paid the waiter with his exclusive card.
Waking out of the Nether Cuisine, he decided to visit another important facility of the Underworld Castle and moved towards its direction.
Seconds later, he arrived at so stairs leading below the floor and went downstairs.
A long corridor appeared before him, with doors on either side and boards above them displaying the nas of the places.
But there was a main board hanging from the ceiling of the corridor, and written on it were the words 'Treasure Plaza'.
'I heard this place sells the most valuable of treasures like Battle Techniques, Weapons and Artifacts...'
The last ti he had co to the Underworld Castle, the maid had guided him and Falcon through all the available facilities for them, though briefly.
This 'Treasure Plaza' was one of the many facilities that intrigued him the most, when he heard that he could find the most secret and illegal things there.
Just the thought of these taboo and unprohibited things that may harm its users in many ways made him feel curious.
Also with his cheat of creating any skill, he could find so useful treasures for himself and negate any drawbacks like curses or restrictions it may have on it.
'Hmm, let's see....'
Felix stood puzzled in the corridor, reading the words written above the many doors.
There were dozens of doors in the long corridor, each one opening to a shop belonging to an elite underworld mber or so professional illegal rchants.
The nas of these shops were all bizarre like Thordon's Basent, The Illegal Corner, Rogue's Finds, and The Smuggling rchant.
Pondering to himself, Felix walked around and chose a shop at random to enter.
'Anyways, with my Inspect skill, there's no way I'm getting scamd.', he smirked.
Pushing the door open, he stepped into a shop nad 'An Outlaw's Shack' and took in the scene that caught him off guard even when he was prepared for sothing strange.
But it would be better to say that he didn't actually take in any sight, because he couldn't, as a thick layer of smoke covered every inch of the shop.
Just when he was about to take a step back to exit the shop, a murmuring voice trickled his ears.
".....welco dear custor, how may I help you....."
Felix quickly turned his head in the direction of the voice and held his breath when an ugly face was a few inches away from his face.
His thoughts got jumbled up for a second before he hurriedly stepped away and took a battle stance unsheating his sword with unstable breathing.
'Gosh that scared !'
The ugly face, which was the only part of the person that could be seen in the gaseous room, stared at him blankly and muttered in a low voice.
"...dear custor, is there anything you would like to buy from my shop..."
Felix glanced at the face cautiously and looked around in confusion.
"I can't even see what you're selling, so how am I supposed to buy anything from your shop?"
The ugly face sighed, then closed his eyes as he muttered a chant of a spell.
Swoosh~
A whirlwind was conjured in the middle of the shop, sucking away all the gas present inside and turning it into a small orb of solid white crystal.
'H-How did he do that....'
Felix widened his eyes in shock, now that he could see the interior of the shop, and turned to the hunched-back man who had just done sothing magical.
"Was that a magic spell? But what attribute does that belong to? Wind?"
The ugly man shook his head and replied matter-of-factly.
"A magic spell? No. That was just a basic technique of Compression of an enchanter."
Standing in the shop without even looking at the items present, Felix rubbed his chin as he ca across a rather rare and new profession.
'Hmm, an enchanter? That's interesting....'
