A total of 23 days have passed, Albion was busy with his preparation. One of the thing's he has gotten is Flame Wave. The Librarians will receive a fire elemental to their weapons. It may or may not help out with the upcoming scenario. The other spell that Albion had was Valiant War. Increasing damage, defense and speed to all allies. The last spell was Flaming Tempest, a fiery tornado that increases burn damage as it moves to the other enemies to harm them with its fire.

Clearing the 4th Abnormality will grant you access to the 5th Path.

Where you may head out back to your world.

When you return back to your world. Time will move at the same pace.

Albion turned to the R Corp team that had updated equipment. The Rhinos were not only carrying mauls, but now carrying great swords and special shotguns. The Rudolph's staff had been changed to pikes, a revolver holstered at the back hip and a knife. The Rabbit team was carrying submachine guns with high attack power, a knife placed to the chest. Nikolai's helmet was shaped like a horned beast's skull.

Roland, Roelica and Angelia made sure their gloves were tightly fitted, Olivier shouldered his spear. Ryn kept her shotguns loaded, Argalia was humming to himself. The clothes of the other members aside from the R Corp members were now equipped with the Nuovo Fabrics.

"Are we ready?" Albion asked the others. A synchronized nod as they walked through to the 4th path, stepping into the Abnormality's light.

True to the facts that had been established, everyone else but Roland and Albion had been frozen. Ahead of them was a large army of ice knights, ice horsemen, ice archers, ice skeletons and ice trolls. The last line of defense for the snow queen was the ice dragon that roared to their direction. The area was like a plain of ice, yet it was grippy enough for people to move around.

"Flame Wave!"Albion activated the spell as the heat began to melt Maxim and the Rhinos first.

"Rhinos!" The Rhinos went to break the ice of the other R Corp members first. Albion casted Flame Tempest buying them time, then using the pillars to create cover that blanketed the area. The tornado of flames began to creep against the ice army, the Rabbits were the first to be rescued, followed by the Reindeers and Nikolai.

"Up and at 'em!" Maxim raised his voice to wake up the dazed R Corp members.

"Nikolai! Take command of the pack!"

"Rabbit, Reindeers. Focus on the enemy ahead of us! Rhinos, continue freeing the other Librarians." Roland and Albion went on ahead with the Rabbits and Reindeers following behind the pair.

"Rabbits join up with the Reindeers! Two Rabbits for two reindeers! Concentrated fire!"

"Yes ma'am!"

"Reindeers standby for close quarters combat! Focus on supporting the Rabbits!" The Rabbits and Reindeers formed three squads, with the sweeping gunfire from the Rabbits that kept the suppression and the Reindeers using their pikes to give support. The Rhinos broke the ice, freeing the others.

"Sir, Yes Sir!"

"All done, Pack Leader!" Maxim shouted.

"Join back the fight!" Nikolai shouted as she raised her hand, pointing a knife hand forward. As the Rhinos joined the charge, sending the ice knights flying.The Rabbits had precise aim struck the knights on horseback where the Reindeers would use their charges to break through the armor and crush the skeletons inhibiting within. Olivier charged to battle with the Silent Family. Argalia's sweeping attack had shattered the legs of the ice knights. Where Angelica, Roland and Roelica leaped into the air with the great swords, shattering the assault of the ice knights.

Albion was going in the fight with the great sword, heavy swings to send the others flying as Yan joined Albion's side with Ryn going after the ones Albion had sent flying. Yan swung his blade to slash through their armors of ice while Ryn was firing off her shotguns to their chests. Leaving large entry holes thanks to the heavy slugs.

"Go!" Albion said as the others proceeded to push through in their own pace.

Olivier and Roelica readied themselves, using Geon as their first trigram, readying their combat spears as they rushed through the ice knights. Clearing a path, while Ryn provided covering fire. Nikolai was moving forward with her pack, piercing through the numbers. The ice trolls were the second line of defense, where the Rhinos engaged with full prejudice. The Rabbits kept on their suppressing fire as Myo led the Rabbits in the fight, going for short swords to strike the joints of the ice trolls. Yan and Argalia activated their Distortion abilities.

Yan and Argalia went after the ice trolls in head on strikes. Yan's metal hands pummeled the enemies while he swung his sword. Argalia's attacks would push the ice trolls back, then kicking some of them back. Leaving a lot of vibration on them. Keeping them within range of Yan's distorted blade.

"Yan, Distorted Blade now!" Yan nodded to Argalia's suggestion, unleashing the distorted blade that came crashing from above. 7 attacks that devastated the ice trolls before them. Argalia used Crescendo to break through the rest. Olivier had used the other trigrams with Roelica.

"Kid!"

"Got it!" The two of them used the True Trigon formation, a devastating attack that blew through the entire force of trolls, leaving the dragon to face them. The dragon breathed its ice breath that began to freeze everything. Albion used pillars to cast cover for the R Corp teams and the others.

"Stay behind the pillars!" Albion swapped to the scythe, reaching the front.

"Little blue!" Argalia and Roelica joined Albion with the scythe, they faded from sight. Unleashing fast strikes to the ice dragon's legs. Argalia went up to slice the eyes out, while Roelica clipped the dragon's wings and Albion delivered the finishing blow.

The Snow Queen finally stood up, stepping down the flight of stairs. Readying her blade, her very steps invited a cold gale to blow into the librarians that stood before her. When she reached to face them, she wielded her blade and gave a nod.

"May I ask you for a duel?" Albion stepped forward.

"Roland. I'll be borrowing this Durandal." Albion said as he used the Black Silence's Durandal long sword.

"Hey, it's your blade too." Roland said as he shouldered his weapon. The others stepped back, giving Albion and the Snow Queen space to fight. A nod to one another as they charged straight at each other, their swords clashed. Fire and ice were clashing, unleashing their thoughts via their blades.

"Why do you fight?"

"To protect the weak." Albion said as he pushed back, Snow Queen went at it with a forward thrust. Attempting to pierce Albion's shoulder, shifting his shoulder. The shoulder pauldron took the hit with ease, shifting it to the left. Redirecting the blade elsewhere, Albion swung to her chest, Snow Queen leaped back. Then charging again to strike Albion with her fast sword attacks. A mix of swings with piercing attacks.

A sweeping slash that Albion intercepted, diverting the blade upwards. Going for a thrust to push the Snow Queen on the defensive, she kept on going. Albion slipped on the ice, where the Snow Queen went for the kill. Albion rolled away as he got back his ground, imbued flame wave to the longsword and to his body. The ice gale from the Snow Queen crashed with Albion's flames, unleashing steam from contact. Standing to oppose each other as they continued their attacks.

"She never did this before." Roland said where Yan and Argalia were studying the movements of Snow Queen. Nikolai put a cigarette to her mouth, where Ryn lit it up for her.

"Didn't think you'd wear those gloves again." Nikolai spoke as she dragged the cigarette, watching how Albion went charging at the Snow Queen with brute force. Pushing her back a few steps, then going for an upward swing. A fast dodge then switching hands to swing down upon her. The Snow Queen was able to take the blow but the ground beneath her had begun cracking to pieces. The sheer force that Albion had was most likely due to Red Mist's Strongest page.

"It's the last thing my brother gave me."Ryn said as she lit up her cigarette, staring at Albion clashing against the Snow Queen's flurry of attacks. He was not going for speed, focusing on brute strength alone. The Snow Queen's was breaking, her limbs were falling apart as the heat slowly took its course. Spring was coming and ending her reign of this winter land that she had made for herself. Kneeling as she looked at Albion.

It was done, Albion was a brute at this point.

"Thank you. For setting me free." The Snow Queen said as Albion saw a system pop out.

Actualization of Snow Queen activated.

The Snow Queen's body turned into a sphere of pale blue light. Diving straight into Albion's chest, a sharp pain as Albion felt his entire body feel an unbearable winter. A sorrowful winter as voices began to ring in his head.

"I hope you stay as a kind hearted person." Albion heard as the ice formed into an armor over his body. His helmet was shaped like a dragon's head with its mouth opening up. His face was covered by a white ski-mask, donning a pale blue dress uniform with a tailcoat. A sword appeared to his left.

The gloves of the Black Silence remained but this blade's name 'Frost Splinter' had formed over to his hand, along with a spear baring the name Frost's Touch. The freezing sensation had ceased as Albion looked at the ice throne, an urge to approach it. A desire came to take the seat. Yet, the desire faded when Albion felt that it was just an empty throne.

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

Snow Queen's EGO added.

Abilities granted.

EGOs are the manifestation of the Abnormality in its tamed form.

Certain abnormalities will have this trait unlocked if you are able to comply with the rules during the fight.

Sword of Frost. Frost Splinter and Frost Touch has been registered as weapons.

They have a freezing effect upon enemies. Constantly emitting ice throughout the area. A Kiss. Gesture spell.

By kissing your fingers, you are able to create a freezing gale of ice that instantly freezes enemies or threats.

The ice can be thawed but it would need a number of spells to do so.

When synchronized with Snow Queen - 0MP.

Without synchronization - 50 MP. Ruler of Ice. She is the ruler of ice and her kingdom is made of it.

No simple flame may conquer Winter.

Increases ice damage by 150% when synchronized.

75% without synchronization. Blizzard. When synchronized, creates an unrelenting blizzard and a fog that breaks enemy senses. Their perception of the area will be lowered and attacks have a weakened effect.

"Looks like it's over. That was quick." Roland said as he stretched his arms.

"What's the Actualization?"

Confirming...

To learn more about this, please head to the 5th Path of Keter.

The winter battlefield changed into the path of books stacked around with a bright light leading to the next path. Albion lead the walk with Ryn and Roland behind him, to the left and to the right respectively.

"Ah, never thought I'd be the one to say that at least something here looks familiar." Roland broke the silence as they arrived to the 5th Path of Keter.

Initializing.

Actualization is a state where the Abnormality itself resonates with an emotion that is present within you.

This allows you to synchronize with the abnormalities at any given time.

Actualization does have a limit which will be your own willpower.

This is due to the fact that you accepted Snow Queen's duel and fought against her earnestly despite the ice taking its hold over your body.

You did not notice because of the fact that your flame wave spell had negated most of its effects.

For now, the library's door has opened to your world.

Time has been adjusted so it flows the same as your world in order not to cause even further confusion.

You've done well for the past days and have achieved your title as the Library Director.

You now have completed the Floor of General Works, Keter.

Do note, that during your time on the other world. The library will make changes according to your experiences and your emotions.

The other floors will be chosen at random to be awakened.

However there is also another aspect.

Until the time comes. There will be a requirement for you to come back to the Keter Floor.

The Keter's Realization and Actualization has yet to be completed.

These are currently being adjusted at the moment.

You are the first person out of 2 million people who have completed the Library's Trial.

The Library is now yours and as the Director of the Library, you may decide the rules.

Your current roster.

Albion 'Lynx' Herrington - Library Director.

Roland - Patron Librarian.

Ryn - Keter Floor Captain

Yan Vismok- Second in Command of Keter Floor.

Olivier - Assistant Librarian.

Argalia- Assistant Librarian

Angelica - Assistant Librarian

Roelica - Assistant Librarian.

R Corp Fourth Pack - Librarian Suppression Unit.

Nikolai - Suppression Leader.

Myo - Rabbit Leader

Maxim - Rhino Leader

When you head into the real world. You may decide those who may accompany you.

The abnormalities will be moving about to sort the books in the library.

Snow Queen will now reside in the library lobby, she will be in the sparring arena and ensure that its barrier may handle the chaos.

More floors will be unlocked soon.

Be sure to come back when the Library resonates with you.

The system will inform you when it is time.

Albion turned to the others. The others were waiting for his words and for his command on what their next objective will be.

"Let's go to my world." Albion said as the others followed him from behind, walking into a bright light. Screams filled the air as Albion saw people running from werewolves that appeared. A dungeon break had occurred. The other Librarians appeared to see the chaos.

"Peaceful my ass." Ryn said as she fired her shotgun at a werewolf.

"It's a dungeon break! Nikolai focus on eliminating targets. Everyone else, we'll need to move the civilians away from the fight!"

"Why can't R Corp do it?" Argalia asked.

"R Corp is known for mass slaughter during distortions. It's why people who live in R Corp are also afraid of them." Yan answered, using his metal hands to catch two werewolves that were about to attack a family.

"Fourth Pack! Targets are the enemy. Werewolves! Let's see how these werewolves deal with the Fourth Pack!"

"Yes ma'am!" The Rabbits went first with their speed, they weren't using cover. Moving up together as a squad, using daggers to strike into the werewolves that went to engage them in close combat. The larger werewolves went to attack a building, punching it with the fist. Leaving a large broken wall to get to the people inside.

"No! Stay back!" A woman threw her pans at it, the werewolf was not deterred. Yet, the Rhinos went after them first. Ramming the werewolves down, followed by a curb stomp to crush the head. The Rhino looked at the woman and the kitchen staff that were cowering on the inside, then proceeded to move away.

Angelica went in.

"Hey, come on. It's not safe here!" The other Librarians were escorting people out of harm's way. Argalia slashed a werewolf in half as he held a child in his arms. Leaping over to Albion who made pillars to keep them safe from harm. The pillars were a shelter, even if it wasn't perfect.

Roland was firing his pistols, then looking at Argalia.

"Didn't you have one like this on your team? Tanya?" Argalia put the child down as he and Roland held the line as the werewolves came in packs, attacking from all sides. The people inside watched how Argalia and Roland handled them, seeing Argalia's swift slashes while Roland was charging through with his lance. Swapping to his shotgun to blast away any werewolves that got close to the shelter that Albion hand made. They were polar opposites of one another yet they were in synch.

Roland swapped to his pistols, firing off multiple shots at once to strike the limbs of the werewolves. Leaving Argalia to claim their heads, dancing beautifully with his fleeting footwork. A werewolf would misjudge the distance between them, only to be cut wide open by Argalia.

Angelica came with another group of civilians.

"I'll leave it to you two." Argalia said as he stood guard by the shelter as Roland and Angelica looked at the targets that were present, both of them drew out their pistols. Roland laid down the gunfire to the joints, staggering them for a moment while Angelica made the kill shots. The werewolves from the right leaped over to strike. Roland drew out Durandal while Angelica readied her katana from Mook workshop. A fast draw of the katana that riddled the bodies of the werewolves with sword slashes. Roland ended the werewolves with the durandal, a single sweeping slash that separated whatever that was in front of him.

Yan's metal hands had been used to escort some civilians away while Roelica and Ryn provided covering fire. Roelica was unleashing a storm of lead with her gatling gun while Ryn seized the advantage of the werewolves that were searching for an opportunity to attack.

"Any more civilians?!"

"We've got them all." Albion raised his right hand, using shockwave repeatedly to stun the werewolves. The Hunters and the Hunter Association arrived, joining in the fight. The Association members ran over.

"Who are you?!"

"We're Hunters! We went missing a few years ago! Get the civilians out of here!" Albion shouted as the association members followed through with the plan. Angelica, Roland, Roelica were acting as the shield. Drawing out their guns to fire at werewolves that were casting magic and throwing stones at their way. Yan's large metal arms helped in protecting them, the hands moved instinctively to stop any projectile. A child flinched, where Yan took the blow to the head.

"Are you okay?" Yan asked, patting the child's head who saw the blood trickling from his cheek.

"You're hurt."

"Don't worry." Yan said as he turned to the pack of werewolves, using distorted blade to shred the entire pack to nothing but shredded meat. Reaching outside where there were other Hunters moving in to join the mission. The sight of Yan caught the attention of the onlookers, seeing Yan sheathe the blade to his back. Where medic went over to check his wounds.

"Excuse me. May I please check your wounds?" Yan shook his head, the medic was a little worried at that.

"Please focus on the ones who came out of the dangerous area." Yan answered as they see a werewolf leaping out to attack a Hunter. The Hunter couldn't react in time, but Yan's hand did. Punching the werewolf to a wall, followed by using Unlock to bash the werewolf's skull inwards. His bloodied white coat along with his gentle smile sent shivers down the spines of the ones who were present.

"Aren't Werewolves D-ranked? How did a kid like him beat it so easily?"

"I'm only 22 years old. Despite my height." Yan answered, turning to the Hunter that popped the question. A little shaken at Yan's gentle smile, where Yan bowed to the others and headed back inside. Soon the dungeon break was contained, where Albion led the other Librarians out. The sight of the Rhinos who were taller than most Hunters. The sight of Nikolai who was oozing with ferocity was enough to make people pave the way for them. They followed Albion as they were stopped by a Hunter.

"Who are you people?" Albion didn't pay attention to this person at all. Stopping because she was in the way.

"Albion Herrington. F-Rank. I went missing two years ago. These people were among the many who went missing during the dungeon divergence event 10 years ago. We'll need to register them at the association. So move." Albion spoke as the Hunter was shaking by the legs, even drawing her weapon but Nikolai punched her in the stomach, then throwing her to another Hunter.

Nikolai went back to her position behind Albion, they continued moving on. Walking through the streets to take a look at the sights. Seeing the many sky scrapers that were around them. People who were snapping photos of them.

"Why are they taking photos of us?"Yan asked.

"Might be due to the fact that by this world's standards. You are all very good looking people." Yan's cheek turned red as he covered his face with the cloak he wore.

Arriving at the association building, where other Hunters took a moment to look at them. Trying to inspect on their nature, Nikolai kept her cigarette on as she walked in despite the 'No Smoking'.

"Hey you can't smoke here!" Nikolai glared at the association worker who fell down just from her stare.

"Nikolai. Douse that." They watched as Nikolai ate the cigarette, glaring at the other association members who were present. Even the other Hunters were feeling the intimidation, Albion walked on over to the reception.

"H-..How can I help you?" Albion turned to Yan.

"Excuse me. We're people who went missing a while ago and we just came back. Is it possible for us to register as Hunters?" Yan's gentle nature had eased the receptionist to give a nod. Leading them to the Assessment Room where they all were inspected.

The conclusion was Albion was still an F-Rank.

Roland, Argalia, Angelic, Roelica, Olivier were S-Ranks.

Yan, Ryn and the Fourth Pack Leaders were A- Ranks.

The other members of Fourth Pack were B-Ranks.

Now they had to go through the interviews. Albion gave them the background that they had. So that was a breeze but the moment they stepped out. There were other people who stood before them, other Hunters.

"What are they here for?"

"Because you guys are quite High-Ranked. It means that they want to recruit you to their guilds." Albion answered Ryn's question as they continued moving on.

"Hey!" A Hunter stopped them from moving.

"That dungeon break was ours to handle! You should have just left it to us!" Albion turned to see Nikolai who was agitated and Myo's eyes were glowing.

"Chain." The Hunters were chained together, Albion left with the librarians. Any offer that went their way was rejected without a second thought.

"An Association that ranks Hunters. Their equipment is shabby and their technique is garbage. If I saw them in Hana. Most of them would be 5s or 6s at most." Olivier put a remark out as they followed Albion to the next location. The orphanage. Will he see people he knew? Or will he see something else?

Arriving to see black cars by the orphanage with black cars parked outside. So trouble has come knocking. Back then Albion would keep his head down but today? Things might change a bit.
