When I open my eyes, I'm back in the Library again. It looks like I can enter the Library when I'm dreaming. But I guess it still depends on randomness. It has been a few days since I tried Unlimited Blade Works, but only now I'm in the Library. I then stretch myself and create a comfy chair.
I sit on the chair and make a tablet full of entertainment 'books' that I can read to kill time. I scroll down on the list to find a few relaxed lives where I follow the typical route slice of life in a Japanese web novel.
I am reincarnated in a fantasy world, create comfortable things with modern knowledge, and fight against evil, comedy, love, and so on. I like to read these as it's comfortable and a pleasing way to kill time.
'The only issue is that it's easy to forget. But who cares, as long it is killing time? Should I change the type of story? I'm now living a relaxed life. So, I don't need to read these types of lives anymore.'
I frown, think for a bit, and decide to read a different type of story. It's a whim. But I guess there should be more types of books. I read a few new genres of online novels, like some obsessive love from Korean web novels. They're intriguing, so I guess there are new books in the Library.
The Library works on a simple principle. When I read more web novels, I understand new ideas and thoughts about them. The Library will then use those ideas as the foundation to find those worlds. It will then connect a 'me' in that world and live a life following some of my standards.
I then laugh as I remember dreaming about my school getting terrorized and me becoming an assassin. I go around with pens, knives, and guns I pick up, killing all the terrorists. It's a vivid dream as I can think, seeing female students being 18+, and so on.
I feel it's a funny dream and not realistic. It's a silly dream because no terrorists are dumb enough to do those things with female students in that situation. I, in that dream, must have his growth focus on stealth and thinking ability.
I then let out a laugh as it was a nostalgic story. Since I started feeling nostalgic, I looked at the lives the Library connected to when I started reading Chinese web novels. They aren't old in the Library as the Library linked them a few years ago when I was on Earth.
I was smiling while reading about those urban lives, whether they were funny or frustrating. They're ways for me to kill time in this endless Library. Still, I started to feel bored. I was about to hope something happened and then stop thinking about it.
I sigh in relief.
'Phew. Luckily, I stop quickly. Or else my ability will make those thoughts real, and the unlucky debuff will last longer.'
I look around the Library and not seeing the Soft Lock. I guess it'll focus more on protecting this Library from intruders. But I don't think there will be people doing these dumb things.
'I mean, who is crazy enough to come in here? There are books about the secrets of reality, the universe, dimensions, and so on here. But that is a dumb thing to do.'
I then look at those books floating in the distance.
'Even I can't comprehend those books, and I'm sure there are higher levels. Those books are dangerous as I don't know their real limit. So, they're risky things.'
I'm not dumb enough to seek more truth when I'm living freely right now. Besides, those books are good troll weapons to deal with enemies. I only need to open the book facing them, and their head will explode.
I sigh as it's my fault for thinking about Cthulhu and others. The Library then connected the lives that were similar to theirs. I'm lucky they didn't do anything extraordinary and continued sleeping in their home.
I remember someone invaded the Library, and Soft Lock opened those books facing him. He died straight away. He was an enemy from a new life connected to the Library base on Korean web novels.
He invades the Library by using a mind attack on 'me' in that world. Sadly, he chose the wrong person. I didn't care more as I was busy reading about other new lives, so I ignored it.
Standing up from the chair, thinking it's time to leave the Library. It has been fun rereading old stories. I open my eyes and see that Mikan is sleeping next to me like usual. I decide to receive today's reward first. I choose the rewards from the Knowledge category.
[Ding! Day 99th. You receive Biology (Lv1).]
After receiving the reward, I continue hugging Mikan and go back to sleep. The day goes on like usual.
On day 100th, I receive Fishing (Lv1).
On day 101st, I receive Farming (Lv1).
On day 102nd, I receive Volleyball (Lv1). Look like I can even receive skills related to sports. Not bad, I guess.
On day 103rd, I receive Sculpting (Lv1).
On day 104th, I receive Writing (Lv1).
On day 105th, I receive Driving (Lv1). For the gacha, I don't have much expectation of obtaining anything remarkable. As for the past few days, all the rewards are mediocre.
[Ding! You receive Legendary Shield from the gacha.]
I tilt my head, wondering what the heck this is. I then go to my M*necr*ft world and take it out. It's a small silver shield that appears on my left arm.
'Eh? Isn't this Naofumi's shield? Wow, even this appears here?'
I look at it, wondering if I should use it. I don't even know if it's helpful. I can't think of a situation I will use it, though. It has been a long time since I saw the anime. I try to unequip it, and it disappears.
'Look like I can equip and unequip it anytime I want, unlike the anime. Well, at least it's something. Let's go back to Earth and read the fandom about its function.'
Going to Earth, I start reading the fandom.
'Absorption is a good skill, as I can let it absorb M*necr*ft's items. Authority is a bit useless. Hm? Bypass, won't this skill unlock my body's limit?'
Bypass allows Holy Heroes not to have a level cap or class-up requirements. I then look at my status board.
[Status]
[Name: Yuuki Rito]
[Age: 8]
[Strength: 10]
[Constitution: 10]
[Dexterity: 10]
[Spirit: 10]
[Charisma: 9/10]
I'm a bit surprised that it removes my body's limit. Except for charm, I can understand. But. What will I need to do to increase my stats, then? A wild idea appears in my mind.
'Won't M*necr*ft mobs will become a source of experience? In the anime, Naofumi fights against monsters and levels up. If M*necr*ft mobs are monsters, I can fight them and level up. Sh*t. The mob farm now becomes truly helpful.'
I decided to test that later after reading the fandom first.
Crafting is like M*necr*ft's crafting menu, but I can use it anywhere. Immunity is a good skill. Inventory gets an overhaul as I now have unlimited storage capacity. The SP and Strengthening Methods can be tested later.
'The skill 'Translation' isn't bad. Wave Summoning is useless in this world.'
Weapon Copy is a good skill if I have an excellent shield. Weapon Transformation is worth using. While reading, the strengthening method of Legendary Shield is interesting. The' Trust' thing may help me increase the strength of my Servants.
I started playing FGO again. And I noticed the final form was a thing for Servants. I can already see the future, my Servants killing mobs in the mob farm, getting experience, and leveling up. I don't know what to do next when they first hit their level cap, but I can worry about that later.
I start reading the shield list and write a note on what shield I can unlock. After reading the fandom for about 20 minutes, the list gets too long. So, I stop and feel like I miss something. I reread the power-up method thoroughly.
I indeed miss something. I can have all the power-up methods if I know about them. I'm happy, but I sigh when I read it. I guess my original ability activated and guided me to read again. I'll be unlucky again for a few days.
[Ding! You unlock new functions from your Legendary Shield.]
[New functions: Weapon Mastery / Smelting / Spirit Enchantment / Status Enchantment / Level Link / Mastery / Energy Transfer / Rarity Up / Rarity Power / Ore Equip / Item Enchantment / Job Level / Microtransaction Enhancement / Growth Revision / Magic Rank / Skill Rank / Monster Encyclopaedia / Weapon Form Synthesis / Skill Mastery.]
I look up at the ceiling and sigh.
'I will look through them one by one when I have time. Sh*t. Is this unlucky or lucky? I can't tell. Let's unlock shields I can unlock in volume one and work our way up.'
I already feel tired when I need to check them.
'Let's deal with them later. I also need to unlock shield variations.'
I sigh and go outside and buy pills, poison, energize medicine, whetstone, rope, and pipe. I know there are more, but I'll unlock them later. Go to my M*necr*ft world and start unlocking shields.
[Ding! Your Legendary Shield unlocks new forms: Leaf Shield / Fish Shield / Small Medicine Shield / Small Poison Shield / Egg Shield / Calorie Shield / Energy Shield / Potential Energy Shield / Sharpening Shield / Pickax Shield / Rope Shield / Light Metal Shield / Wood Shield / Pipe Shield / Book Shield / Medicine Shield. ]
It was very boring to do this. Still, I drag myself to the mob farm. I then ask Artoria.
"Artoria, can you kill those mobs in the farm for me?"
"Yes, Rito."
When Artoria lightly taps a mob in the farm with her sword, it dies instantly and drops loot like usual. But.
[Ding! Receive experiences. You unlock the Level function.]
[Level increased from 0 to 1.]
[You have Legendary Shield. Your current stats growth is:
Strength: +0/Level
Constitution: +5/Level
Dexterity: +2/Level
Spirit: +3/Level ]
I look at my stat growth, and I must say they're meh. I think my leveling system works differently. At least having a lot of stamina is fine. I then grind till I reach level 5.
'I should increase 5 levels every day; till it starts to slow down. And unlock shield variations every two days.'
On day 106th, I still choose to receive rewards from the Knowledge category. Useless knowledge is better because it will create a topic to discuss. I receive Astrology (Lv1). My Level is 10.
On day 107th, I receive Literature (Lv1). My Level increased to 15.
On day 108th, I receive Fashion (Lv1). My Level increased to 20, and it started to slow down.
On day 109th, I receive skill Guitar (Lv1). And my Level is 25 after a long time of grinding.
On day 110th, I receive Snowboarding (Lv1). And my Level is 30, and I stop grinding as it's too slow.
On day 111th, I receive Biking (Lv1).
On day 112th, I receive Football (Lv1). From the gacha, I received a sword called: The Black Sword. But today's main event is I'll fuse another anime into this world. I decided to combine it with the 'Oregairu' world.
I don't care about not being able to monopolize the smartphone industry. I started to feel bored of not being able to play new games in this world.
'Oregairu is in Chiba, but I don't know where I live. So, let's ignore that problem. Having fun is more important than this world's stability.'
The process is fast and doesn't have any issues. Now, how to meet Yukinoshita is a problem. The solution is simple, but I need to suffer quite a bit. I then sigh and hope.
'Please work, my ability. You're very picky and went in the wild direction before. Let me meet Yukinoshita in the park today. The park where I play with Mikan regularly.'
I carry that little wish when I take Mikan to the park. I hope my bad luck won't be too bad.
