'Nether, the energy our overlord Hades blessed us with, is the core of our existence…'
Bruce's eyes sharpened.
'So as expected this world didn't have mana. Instead they are using a different energy which they call Nether.'
The realization settled in instantly. This alone made the trip worthwhile.
He didn't hesitate. Pages began flipping beneath his fingers, one after another, his eyes moving with terrifying speed. His photographic memory captured everything, diagrams, terminology, historical references, structural explanations. Each sentence was absorbed, indexed, understood.
His reading and comprehension rate, already abnormal, bordered on the inhuman now.
At this pace, Bruce knew it was only a matter of time before he read every single book in this library.
And once he did…
He would understand this world far better than someone who walked it blindly.
With that knowledge, he could plan his seven days here properly. Efficiently. Without wasting a single moment.
