Taaro walks over and stands next to us as we're checking out an older collection of books. I used Inspect on them, and they're all Epic in Grade. In fact, all the books I've seen this high up are Epic or higher. Legacy is starting to pop up more frequently now as well.
The ones I've cracked open and read tell stories that I didn't even think were real. One of them was actually about Rahab. Telling the in-depth story of his younger years before the Great War.
Sally is sitting in a chair and ready a book about the elven people. Her people. This library contains knowledge not only about Alforza but all of Gaia and its people. Meaning this is the greatest collection of knowledge and wealth known to me.
"I take it that you guys wish to stop on this floor for a while and read. That's fine. Just ring this bell when you're ready for me to continue taking you higher."
Taaro pulls a little hand-held bell out of her Inventory and places it on the table Sally's using. She takes off before either of us can respond. I look over at my companion, and she's engrossed in her book the moment Taaro leaves.
I turn back to mine, and there is a Legacy Grade book in my hands. It's one that doesn't hold the answers I'm looking for. However, it does have knowledge about the Overworld.
That's the home of the Gods and Angels. If I'm really from this world, that means Overworld was a place that I was once at. Either as an infant or Amelia went there while she was pregnant with me. I crack open the cover, and I read the first line.
[This is an account of The Overworld from a traveler between worlds. Written by Realm Walker Ulzimir.]
Ulzimir... I feel like I've read that name somewhere else before. I don't know where, but I know that it's a name that's connected to a lot of stories about the deities. I do know about Realm Walkers. They're not a Class, but a race.
Once around 350,000 years ago, according to what I know, there once existed a race of people called Realm Walkers. Each one had the ability to travel between worlds. The Overworld and The Underworld. Those were the places they most visited.
I remember reading stories on the forums back on Earth about how Realm Walkers didn't only visit Overworld and the Underworld, but also other planes of existence that existed. Places connected to The Ancients World.
I never believed they were real since they weren't proven. Along with the several worlds, they supposedly visited. But seeing this... It's adding credibility to the claims.
I turn the page again, and the first thing I see is a sketch of some highly advanced-looking city. Floating on the clouds. There are Angels flying around the picture. My eyes are lured to the text that sits below the picture, and it reads something interesting.
[The image of Overworld has been burned into my mind ever since I saw it. Seeing it every time I close my eyes. The Gods that reside in this world have great power, but the functions they hold to our reality differ from what I was led to believe.]
It's the words of someone who was alive a long time ago. There are so many questions forming in my head about Overworld. Given my Angel powers, I should be allowed in. I just don't know how to access the world.
That, or someone is preventing me from going. Which is the most likely, given everything I've learned.
"Did you know that The Dark Elves and The Elves from our Continent once had a conflict? There was a great war that split them apart, and The Dark Elves won. They exiled the rebellion to our Continent."
Suddenly, Sally speaks up about what she's reading at the moment. We were told the Dark Elves, and White Elves once existed together. But we weren't told anything about a war. It is unbelievable what I hear. Not what Sally is telling me, but this whole situation.
On a random floor within The Gleem Library, we're finding this amazing information. I can't imagine what else is out there. Gaia and the world it's connected to have been around and recording history for thousands of times longer than humanity has been thriving. 𝐟𝙧ℯ𝑒𝒘𝐞𝒃𝗻𝒐ѵ𝘦𝑙.com
Its stagnancy in technology is probably a desire for the powers that be. If a race like humans isn't kept in check, it'll continue to grow. Either to the point of being gods themselves, or destroying their people to extinction in the process.
"That's really amazing. But I'm learning something that's better than yours."
We've somehow turned this into a little competition between us. Sally places her book down and looks at me with a smile and a challenging crook to her eyebrow.
"Well, do tell."
I make my way over to her and take a seat next to her. Placing the book between us and pointing at the picture.
"This book was written by a person called Ulzimir. He was a member of the Realm Walker race. A race of people that could freely travel between worlds connected to Gaia. Places we don't even know exist yet. This is the first picture of Overworld."
She looks at the page in confusion, and I start to get confused by her confusion.
"What picture? It's just an empty book with some weird language at the bottom. I don't understand a single word that's written down. In fact, I'm getting a headache just looking at it."
She pushes the book away from her and in front of me. I look back down at the book, and I scratch the back of my head in confusion.
If she can't read it, that means it's in a language only I can understand. But that's the same language as her. This doesn't make any sense... Unless... It was written in the language of the Realm Walkers...
It's that, or it's written in the language of Overworld. It makes sense if it's written in the language of Overworld. Written in the language of Angels or Gods... I don't know which... If I can inherently understand it, that means Divine Blood is in my veins...
"Here, check this out."
She places her book in front of me, and there is an illustration of a battle between The Dark Elves and The White Elves. Wars are common in many cultures, and they usually result in one part of the people splitting off into another part of the world.
The battle depicted in the illustration is one of violence and brutality. A battle with less developed weapons and powers. This was a long time ago, and both Elven races have grown a great amount in that time.
"What else do you think we'll find in this place?"
Sally pulls me from my thoughts as she stands up and makes her way to the edge where the railing is. I take a moment to think and look at the bell Taaro left for us. I want to spend a couple more hours reading before we call her.
I stand up and make my way to Sally.
"I don't know what we'll find. But there is a Dungeon higher up. It could hold answers to what we're here for... What I'm here for... We can spend some more time reading here but after that. We're continuing up for that Dungeon."
She turns her head and smiles at me. There are many things we could end up finding up there, and I'm looking forward to what's waiting for us.
