Deus cracked his stiff neck and stretched his arms painfully. He had written too much today, so he closed the book and put it on the shelf.
Section 99-115.
He looked quietly at the rows of ordered books.
How many years have passed?
The books were piled up side by side. He smelled a familiar smell of ink and the aging book.
He had almost finished filling the last section of his library. Section 99. Section 100.
But the occasional enlargement of the room that occurred by its annual levelling, always continued to increase in size, creating empty sections, requiring it to be filled with books.
The administrator warned him that as he lived, his level rose linearly, but he still could not get used to these events.
Each level added a space the size of an apartment. About three floors and a hundred square meters.
"Show me my status."
Name: Deus
Occupation: Librarian
Level: 30
Strength (0/100)
Agility (0/100)
Endurance (10/100)
Intelligence (20/100)
Chance (0/100)
Diplomacy (0/100)
He had progressed in comparison at the beginning. He now had 30 points of statistics scattered in endurance and intelligence.
Scoring on intelligence allowed me to think faster. I felt like I had a lot of mental computing power. If I could calculate like a computer window XP, I would calculate like a window 10.
I felt that as my intelligence increased, I became more omniscient of my environment. This gave me the goal of reaching the maximum number quickly.
How impressive was an intelligence at 100? His deduction could even reach the level of the gods.
1 level = 1 statistic.
Should he live 100 years to maximize his intelligence, then 500 years to maximize all his statistics? It was an incredibly long time!
He was surprised at first! There were six stats for a total of 600 points. Would that mean reaching level 600? It would be strange.
He had been used for years to write under this oppressive silence. In fact, it was like hypnosis. This allowed him to be deeply focused on his writing.
Even more surprising.
He acquired a realization of his environment. Occasional passages, otherwise the sound would quickly return silent.
This happened when he reached level 25.
He quickly made the connection. It must have been the barrier between reality and dimension that was weakening or rather strengthening recently. In any case, he felt regular presences swirling around him.
However, today it was exceptional. He heard footsteps strongly turning around him.
When he concentrated, he could see a small white figure in his head. A human? He had two legs and arms with round ears. It was definitely human.
Why did he stay here?
Then he felt many inhuman presences.
A tall figure with long ears. He knew only one species with his characteristics. Elves.
"-help me out!"
Cries of distress reasoned in him, but he remained silent while watching the scene.
He had to know the story before taking action. The outcome would depend on the situation. He was not an angel to help a person in need, but neither was he a devil to let someone die.
"Human, stop moving. If you calm down, we'll handcuff you without hurting you. After all, humans make a lot of money at auctions when they are in good condition. Then are the females not appreciated by these hungry orcs?"
Auction? Sales?
Deus scratched his chin. Although he remained 30 years locked in his pocket dimension, his appearance remained frozen.
An adult of twenty years who did not have a beard, it was a funny scene but no one was present to emphasize it.
In a natural way, Deus decided to act for his own interest by interposing himself at the moment when the human was going to be captured.
The branches stuck to her body began to tremble and covered the human.
"What?!"
She was surprised, but unlike her thoughts, they did not suffocate her. Only covered to be protected from the evil elves.
"What is it?!"
One of the elves, surprised, triggered a strange circle and a green light hit one of its branches, leaving only a small impact. It was a little painful.
"A-a monster!"
"Damn it! Run!"
Finally, knowing that their spell had not worked, they made their last choice. Run as fast as possible. Get away from danger.
He felt a little depressed. He wanted to study the spell they had just cast. It was magic, wasn't it? It was the first time he had seen an incantation.
Then the luminous spell must have been powerful enough to scratch its branches. Two seconds later, its branches collapsed into dust.
Hmm. Poison, huh?
He cuts off the infected part and then regenerates its branches as if the previous fight had not taken place.
When he was about to return to his occupations, he concentrated on the trembling figure. She had a deliberately frightened, as if she had crossed an even worse opponent.
Yet he had a beautiful face, didn't he? He was quite popular with girls in his last life, although he never had a romantic relationship.
"Hi. Can you hear me?"
Deus pulled one of his branches closer and made something grotesque before finally giving up. He had trouble handling his branches.
It was difficult to move with 0/100 agility. Handling yarn threads with chopsticks is the same difficulty.
Meanwhile, the human woman remained frozen as if she had become a statue.
After a few minutes of infernal debates, he understood that he could not get anything useful out of this woman and returned to his occupations.
Let's just leave her alone, she'll go naturally.
What was his name? Earth Invasion?
He had remembered a good series in his old life. The planet is invaded by strange alien monsters.
He nodded his head. He was going to write it down to keep his mind busy while the new year passed.
***
He... He's gone?
Leave alone, the woman remained silent for a good hour before quickly leaving the position of the monster tree. It was really creepy.
It was the first time she had experienced such an ordeal. Despite being chased for a month, finding a monster in her land was bad luck.
Yet it had saved him.
So she silently thanked the monster and quickly
left the forest. She would come back here one day if she was in trouble.
