A special Hidden Class offer? So this book was a job offer?...What should I do? Should I accept it?....................................oh well, this seems interesting why not~
"Yes"
Suddenly, an endless flow of knowledge surged into my brain. Furthermore, it was so violent and strong that it brings pain as it was forcefully stuffing my brain with all these strange knowledge. In just a matter of second, I felt that I've already understood countless of things without comprehending even one. I felt like I understand it but cannot understand!
What's more mysterious is that, I felt like my body seemed change into something. As if something had awaken or some sort. It feels like a mysterious power that had slept inside me suddenly woke up making my body trembled for a bit.
Just like before, although I can't hear it I think I heard some voice coming from within my body. A very surreal experience, as if a herald of angels was singing deep inside my consciousness. It was a very pleasant feeling.
I don't know what this is, but I felt my body floating.
After a few while, that weird feeling disappeared. The pitch black book in my hand changed into a normal yet out worldly looking book. The edges was colored gold and its cover was dyed with sky blue color. In front of the cover was a crimson flames with a word [ The Chronicles of the Black King ].
Eh? What the heck is this?
My head was filled with questions but then, just like before when my head was stuffed with a great deal of knowledge, the answer floated in my head.
You have acquired the class [ Keeper ]!
you can now use exclusive skills related to the nature of the class!
[ Keeper ]? What kind of class is that? What's with this book?
[ Keeper ] are ancient warriors that have long been extinct. Their tribe have immense strength and power that can even slay dragons and gods. They are often called Guardian of Knowledge by the Gods for their main purpose in existence is to only guard the Archaic Library.
Oh, so I'm what you call a Librarian without a Library? Quite ridiculous~ So what's the deal with this book?
Answer: This is the Archaic Library!
What?! This is only a book, right?
Answer: Archaic Library is a container of all knowledge. But the Great God of Creation a long time ago sealed it for this kind of thing isn't meant for all living things to know, including him. He ordered the [ Keeper ] tribe to keep it safe. However, a millions of years ago countless gods and demon gods knew of its existence and tried to steal it.......resulting of the tribe's extinction.
I see....What a greedy fellows...but why does the book's cover say's [ The chronicles of the Black King ]? Isn't it should be [ Archaic ]?
Answer: The real Archaic Library was sealed and was made into a book of fate. It records the life of the holder....
Oh?! So this is my life story then? Why the Black King? Thousand Gods Slayer is cooler though~.....Wait a minute, who are you? Are you Lolita Goddess? Why the hell are we talking as if it's just natural?
Answer: No, I am not! I am the Archaic Library. The consciousness within.
Eh?...........Whatever~ By the way, Did I really choose my class? I don't feel something at all~ And here I thought I would feel something as if I was getting stronger~........Stingy~
Answer: The Ceremony was still ongoing. Inheriting the skills will have to wait for it still have the need to monitor the current holder.
"Oh I see~....................Whatever. But calling you Archaic Library all the time seems troublesome....All right then, I'll call you Arche~ sounds fine, right?"
Answer: You can call me whatever you want.
"Better~ Glad to have you on board, Arche...."
"Master, Who are you talking to?"
As I was talking to my new found mate, A cute little voice suddenly called to me. Turning my head, A little girl with green, slit eyes was there. This little girl was definitely Hell but what left me dumbfounded was that Hell doesn't look like a goblin anymore. Not minding the color of her skin which is has a green with a lush of black color, she looks like a normal eight years old little girl with short black hair.
She can't be considered beautiful and her face is only above average but her big eyes with slit eyes carried a hint of cuteness inside.
"Hell? Are you Hell? What's with the massive make over? Did you perhaps went to a cosmetic surgery without me knowing?" I said half jokingly.
"Master, I can't understand what you're talking about. Hell, only absorb monster core. Hell don't understand what happened. Hell woke up and hell already like this...Is, is Hell strange"
Hell look at me worryingly as if she was scared that I won't like her current appearance. Seeing this, I couldn't help but smile wryly as I held her and lift her up in the air...
"No way, Hell is the cutest in the world!"
"Hehe...Hell loves master!"
She chuckled a bit and then rubbed her head with my cheek. Then suddenly she stopped and look at the motionless slime in my right shoulder...
"Master, who's this?" she asked while pointing her fingers at the slime.
"Ah, this is Aqua...From now on, she will be coming with us...Take good care of her, okay~"
"Master said so, then Hell will obey~"
"Thank you Hell~"
"Hehehe..."
---------------------------------------
After some time, the little slime finally finished absorbing its monster core and woke up. Although unlike Hell, there's no drastic changes in its outer appearance besides the change in its size which became doubled compared from before. Hell took little slime from me and took it with her to play at the bed.
Feeling bored, I decided to take out Arche and opened it. When I turned the cover of the book, the first page was my own portrait. A dashing heroic figure that can make heavens and earth tremble upon seeing its handsome appearance -------------just kidding.
But still, I looked rather dashing and handsome~ hahahaha
The book records my experiences till now, starting from when I started playing the game up until now. The pages beyond that was blank and white as snow.
"Is this an epic story of the great me?"
Answer: Yes. This book will record your life. Although the fate has countless possible path you can take in your life, this book will only record the path you take in.
"I see~...........hm? Ah right, there is still that [ Blood Prison Stone ]"
I took out the blood colored stone and carefully examine it. Without finding anything weird, I drop some blood onto it. The stone emitted a red colored glow and an image of a woman's shadow with bat-like wings and tail.
Ding!
At this moment, I suddenly heard a ring from the system's notification.
Setting Iona Free!
Countdown: 71 Hours 59 Minutes
Iona? Who's she? Is she the girl inside the stone? So I really did manage to free her?.........What does this mean?
If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.
......
Whatever~ So right now, I'll just need to wait.
--------------------------------
"Hell, Aqua we have stayed enough. We're going now~"
Hell, immediately strolled happily towards my side while carrying Aqua with her arms. Now that I've finished storing all the things including the king-sized bed in the [ Space Ring ], as well as exchanging my equipments with better ones, I'm now confident to defeat any enemy that stands in my way.
Aside from the three [ Space Ring ] I've equipped in my left arm, which is containing weapons, items and armors. The rest of the [ Space Ring ] was put in the pocket of the bag I've found. This bag is one of the three [ Storage Bags ] I've found in the room. Just like the name, it works like the [ Space Ring ] and inventory, it's just that compared to the [ Space Ring ], its storage capacity is lower. However, this Dora like bag is quite convenient.
I've also change the clothes I'm wearing. From the battered and tattered clothes, I changed it to a cool looking black leather coat made from the hides of a shadow dragon called [ Shadow Swirling Dragon ]. Although this was just a leather armor it has an [ All-elemental Magic Resistance ] and various other buffs and effects, so it was a good item. Underneath the coat was a black shirt and black pants made from [ Tempest Spider ]. I took off my gauntlet and gloves because of how battered it is. It really needs some repair although they are some good equipments. I replaced them with a finger less gloves made from a monster called [ Flame Rat ]. It has a very interesting ability to control and produce fire called [ Pyrokinesis ]
This clothes are all [ Rare ] equipments.
The black sword hanging in the side of my hip was the black sword Skull face holding. [ Rune Demonic Blade ] a unique grade sword. It has an ability to deal double or triple damage when channeled by magic. Although it was a unique grade equipment, its base stats was lower compared to normal grade weapons. However, what's interesting with this weapon is that the powerful the wielder is, the powerful it become. It has also an innate skill called [ Elemental Coat ] that let its blade channel the four basic elemental magic because of the runes engraved on its blade. It can even rival that of a legend grade weapon if the power of the one using it was a very powerful person.
Well, truthfully there are more amazing and mind blowing equipments but because of the design and colors, I didn't use it...
---------------------------------------
Two words to describe the next floor, EXTREMELY HOT! If I didn't immediately changed my coat to [ Salamander's Flame Coat ] that has a 100% Flame and heat resistance, I would have melted like a piece of ice cream!
Little Leme have almost melted, thankfully I manage to hide her inside my clothes. Man, I now know how the fish feels when she was swimming in a frying pan....It feels~
I gave Hell one [ Salamander's Flame Coat ] too, fortunately Borun has five piece of it so I don't really have a shortage in regards to resistances~ However, although it wasn't giving me any trouble, what's hot is hot!......so I declare~
We have been walking for maybe about an hour or two...?
Naturally there are many monsters relentlessly attacking, however they we're just small fry! hahaha yeah very weak~ Nevertheless, I really didn't expect Hell to become so much stronger, now that she have rank up. 'Is this really okay?' is what I thought at first. Her [ Shadow Walk ] that makes her vanish in her shadow and instantly appear in the shadow of her enemy while cutting their heads, man it's scary~ With her child like appearance coupled with her merciless assassin moves, I couldn't help but shiver.
But these place is very unique if I may say so myself. There is a river of lava that has many fish-like creature swimming on it ( I wonder how they taste? ) and when you think that you're walking on a flat-land, lava suddenly gushed from right under your feet. If I didn't use the [ Steel Thread Boots ] made from a steel spider monster called [ Steel Spider ], my feet would have been burned to cinders. I hastily changed it to a more appropriate footwear, [ Fire Dragon Boots ]. It was a crimson colored boots made from the skin of a real adult fire dragon and has 100% fire resistance and can double your running speed. However, the thing that turn me off is because this boots, when used was always covered with fire so it makes your feet looks like it was on fire. It was really an attention grabbing equipment~
The monsters we've met up until now are [ Flame Imps ] that looks like goblins with horns and tails. [ Blazing Scorpions ] That shoots fire balls with their tails and [ Fire Bats ] that spits fireballs as if they're just spitting some melons seeds. What's worse with these little impudent and irritating bats are their shock waves attacks that can make us confuse and sleep. Fortunately, my godly skill [ Gamer's Heart and Mind ] gives me mental debuffs Immunity~
Defeating them is an easy thing to do, though. I just use, [ Banshee's cry ] a whistle like thing that if blown can emit a very loud cry of a woman. This made the bats faint and fell in the ground. Stabbing them while walking casually, very easy~
However, these monster are clearly getting stronger compared from before. They were just Level 22 - 26 but now the lowest level have become level 30. This monsters are really getting troublesome that I wish I have a nuclear bomb to use.
Although the heat is also irritating, the extremely hot ground is somewhat useful. Taking some meat in my inventory and then lay them in the ground, after a few minutes.....Miracle! It taste like grilled meat. Yum~
Even so, I admit! These floor is really tricky and troublesome. In the second part of the inner part of the floor, countless columns of lava rose like tall trees. Moreover, the accumulated toxic gases which is far heavier than air is really dangerous if not for my new and reliable equipments. Using the [ Mask of No Breathing ] that can stop my breath without me making uncomfortable and hide my presence, this floor is a walk in the park. If this mask was in the hands of a master assassin, man you will really never know how you died.
Scary~ Just how the heck did that despaired pretty boy gather all these amazing and convenient items? However, I'm really glad to have these items though, if not for this even if I have a high level, I would still find these place very dangerous!
Godly equipments really one live a full and happy life~
Smoothly proceeding forward with Hell, We have finally met the most troublesome opponent.
Here. waiting for us while relaxing inside the magma as if he was just in a mild hot spring, a dragon as big as a hill! Damn it! Curse you!.........I also want to bathe in a hot spring damn it! How long do you think I've even took a bath? Aaargh, and here this guy, just sitting there as if drinking a can of beer! ?
In front of this massive dragon, I look like a cat compared to an elephant. Aside from its huge body, its aura was totatlly overwhelming, maybe due to its possessing tremendous magic power.
The huge dragon finally noticed my appearance as it looked at me and opened its mouth which could have easily engulfed a whole house.
"Oh, This is the first time an intruder have gotten in this place? A young and handsome one at that. Truly remarkable~"
The voice of the dragon was surprisingly beautiful. With an extraordinarily volume with a hint of affection, it was definitely a voice of a beautiful woman, not a dragon.
Truthfully, I was a little bit confused. This dragon should be furious for intruding her domain, but this......She actually talked to me affectionately.
"Well, I guess thanks for the warm welcome...."
"No need, this is just about right. You are the first person to have reached this far. Millions of challengers have attempted to do so, but none apart from you succeeded. Compare to you, they are all nothing but trash. Feel honored for this great one have already said so, you are special. And most of all, for giving me something to escape this never ending boredom, I thank you!"
After ending her speech, the fiery dragon opened her mouth wide. Inside was a strewn with huge fangs and an incredible amount of magical power began to accumulate and compress.
Looking at this, cold chills ran through my body. A very deep sensation flooded my heart.
Yes! This is a feeling of one who face death!
If I won't do something, I would surely...die!
