Dong dong dong, the sound of the usual bell that indicates the end of the class was echoing through the library. In the central part of the library gathered a group of young and middle aged people.
In a corner, there is a young man that radiates a loner aura that makes people hesitate to approach or look over. Well, if you look closely, you’ll see his not that good looking but noble face trying to look as friendly as possible but looks irritating and arrogant instead.
“That’s the end of today’s class, tomorrow we will be starting our lectures so don’t forget to read the story of the little bird written by Bookmaker Carl Timmbler if you don’t want to be left behind in the class.”
“Yes librarian mistress Ysabele” everyone except the young man said.
“Okay, you may go now”
Everybody is starting to leave by pairs or groups but the young man stayed behind. He finally got up from his seat when only the librarian mistress is left behind.
“You know, nobody will approach you if you don’t change that facial expression of yours.” the librarian mistress said with a smirk on her face in a joking tone while walking into her quarter in the library.
The young man scowled and said “But.., I was trying my best. Did I really look that unapproachable?” Then he walked in the same direction of her.
“Hahahaha, yes you do. And very irritating as well, It is good that no one cursed you don’t even think of someone approaching you” she said so and sighed.

The young man became depressed and murmured “Who will curse me in front of my aunt?” then laughed bitterly before entering the room.
“You go and rest first. I still have some work to do. I’ll call you when dinner is ready” she said while getting inside her office.
“Okay, I’ll go and read books in my room then.”
The quarter in the library became quiet while people continue to come and go silently inside the library to read books and study their means to acquire enlightenment.
This library is called Tibular library. It is a library own by the Tibular family, currently the head of the Tibular Family which is the young man’s father named Wilfred Tibular. The Tibular family is one of the many branches of Hermon clan. They are families that owns and regulate library in different places. The library that their family owned was in the city called Genesis. Genesis is one of the many cities in the Oasis country and so on. This world is a place where the books are treated as something holy and eternal. Nobody can change what is written. Everybody believes that what is written are the truth and anyone that go against it are sinners that will be the focus of all the people’s hate.
Through studying books, anybody can get the means which will give people a chance to have enlightenment and learn how to wield powers. In a simple way it is called magic, not magic that makes people produce powers to use in a destructive way but to control what exist. There are some magic that goes beyond what is possible and you can call it miracle but not in a way that it became to the point that a man can fight against a country. Well, it is not easy to gain enlightenment. Most of people that does came from the families that owns library or families that already has someone that gains enlightenment. There are also talented and lucky ones from common families that saw through the means and gained enlightenment. A person that is enlightened is called “wiseman”.
