Adam opened his biography, hoping to see what secrets he could read. If the school gave Adam the biography after reading 10 pages, it must be because he could read it. However, to the boy's surprise, the biography remained completely empty.

—They tricked me!— Adam shouted, throwing the notebook on the floor in frustration— Even now, they're still empty! I thought I could read them once I left the school!

—Didn't they explain how they work at school?— The old blind man asked— You have to write on it and ask it something. Librarians always take out their biographies to ask them things before touching the shelves.

Adam followed the advice, picked up the notebook from the floor, and wrote roughly on the paper: 'Hello, I am Adam, who are you?'.

To Adam's surprise, the words he wrote dissolved on the paper, and a message appeared in their place: 'Adam...'

—Did I write it wrong?— Adam murmured, feeling uncomfortable for not being able to communicate with his godfather.

—Unfortunately, I can't answer that question...— The old blind man said.

Just in case, Adam took out a notepad and checked the word, then, seeing that he hadn't made a mistake, he wrote: 'I am Adam, who are you?'.

The message dissolved on the paper, and another message appeared in its place: 'We have the same name'.

This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there.

—What a coincidence...— Said the old blind man suspiciously, while curiously following Adam's conversation with his godfather.

Adam got excited knowing that his writing was working and asked: 'Do you know any secrets?'

The message dissolved on the paper, and another message appeared in its place: 'Too many...'

—Like all librarians, not very talkative and very pragmatic with their words—complained the old blind man.

Adam changed the question to see if he could get something useful: 'If you were a student without parents, how would you learn a language faster?'

The message dissolved on the paper, and another message appeared in its place: 'Don't learn: Discover!'

Adam asked what he meant, but it seemed that his godfather enjoyed riddles. Adam supposed that his godfather didn't expect him to discover a new language, so he must be referring to something else.

Then Adam thought about the idea of mini-words; one could say that was his discovery, but someone else had improved it even more to the point of being known by everyone as characters.

If Adam could do the same with the rest of the language, then it would be easier for him to learn it. He remembers that he learned the characters in practically a day thanks to discovering the background of the idea.

Adam tried to write his thought to his godfather, but he realized that he didn't know how to write such a long paragraph. Fortunately, his godfather understood the idea, and a sentence formed in his notebook: 'Rediscover everything, because everything in your life is false'

—It seems like another enigmatic message— said the old blind man calmly— but be careful, young hero. You don't know if you're talking to a madman, and following wrong advice will only make your adventure end sooner.

Adam listened to the old blind man's warning and closed the notebook. It was better to learn the language calmly and have more criteria to decide, but also an adventurous part of Adam decided to follow his godfather's advice and seek to discover his own ideas.
