'What did she meant by that?' Kai wondered as they suddenly appeared in the place between the entrances of the different realms.

"So where will we go this time?" Riang asked as Kai shook his head.

"I don't have an answer for that question." He replied as everyone fell silent.

'Judging from what Kosma said, we are probably going to some other place for a while. As for everything else, I guess I will have to wait and see everything.' Kai thought as a whooshing sound caught his attention.

He turned towards Mia who suddenly had two ice blue wings made from ice coming out from her spine.

"What are you doing Mia?" Kai asked in confusion as Mia shook her head.

"I can't control my powers for some reason." She replied as Kai narrowed his eyes but didn't speak anything.

Their bodies then started shimmering once again as all of them vanished at the same. Kai's vision went blind for a second before he opened his eyes and saw himself being surrounded by books. He was currently sitting against a bookshelf as his body was a little weak.

"This place…" H turned towards his right to see Esmeralda peering at the books with a wide-open jaw as Kai immediately knew where they were.

"We are The Library." He said out loud as he and Esmeralda stood up.

"The others are probably around here somewhere. Let me ask them to meet us in the center of the library." Kai said to Esmeralda as he closed his eyes and communicated with the other girls.

[Follow my connection with you and meet me in the center of this place.] Kai instructed as he and Esmeralda easily appeared in the center after a few minutes.

The center of the library was in a sphere form from where you could go in 10 different directions depending on the different genres of the books. After fifteen, all of his girls finally arrived at the center."Why is this place so big and full of books?" Sahara asked as she looked at the bookshelves with a glare which was expected since Sahara and the other sins loved to party and hated studying. After bonding with all of them, Kai literally had to force them to learn about a few important things.

"This is the world's biggest library where I first met Esmeralda. She used to be the only person here before I arrived.' Kai explained as the others nodded.

"I remember that you vanished for at least a century and I had been wondering whether you were alive or not. But you then showed up after a few months and told me about this place. Why did it take you his long to get out?" Mia asked as Kai suddenly teleported them to the room with the barrier and the eight books.

"Time passes differently in this place. Sometimes it's too fast whereas sometimes it's too slow. And other than that, those books were one of the major reasons I couldn't leave this place." Kai explained as he pointed at the eight books placed on the shelf at the end of the room.

"What were the other reasons?" Mia asked with a slight cough as Kai smiled

"I stayed here to keep Esmeralda some company and I couldn't leave this place anyway so yeah, I was basically stuck here. Though after who knows how long, I discovered a new section of this place which only opened up to me." Kai explained as he walked away to the west side of the room.

He then bit one finger on his right and one on his left hand as he placed both of them on the wall just an inch beside where the barrier started.

A rumbling sound took place inside the room as the wall came out and slid to the left as a hidden staircase was revealed to everyone.

"Don't tell me that you actually bled here to open this place." Sahara muttered as Kai shook his head.

"This placed opened automatically when I read the last book on that shelf though it took some time to appear. Even though this place is technically the world's biggest library, it actually connects this place to the actual biggest library, which is death's library which contains records on how people die." Kai explained as he gestured at the dark staircase.

"There is actually something like that?" Qin, who was new to such stuff, asked with wide eyes as Kai nodded.

"There are many things that you don't know, Qin." Kai replied as she nodded."And why are we going to go to a place which supposedly has records of our death?" Levina asked in a slow voice as Kai grinned.

"Cause it's the only way out of this place. Even my teleportation doesn't work here." He replied as the girls sighed and entered the staircase one by one.

'I wonder if Kosma was the one who sent me here. But how does she have the power to control where a person ascends to? That girl is still too mysterious and dangerous.' Kai silently thought as his feet banged against the stairs.

[Are all of them quiet people?] Kai suddenly heard Qin's voice through a spiritual message as he was surprised by her question.

[Not all of them are quiet people. Some of them like to talk but there are certain moments when they decide to remain silent instead of saying anything.] Kai replied as Qin stopped saying anything which indicated that she understood it.

The staircase went down in a spiral way and after walking for at least ten minutes, the group finally appeared at the end of the staircase. Kai was the last to reach the end as all of them stared at the place in front of them.

It was full of black-colored shelves made from mahogany and contained black and golden leather-bound books. Each shelf had a letter and a number on top of it while each column had an assigned secondary number.

"This place isn't that big." Sahara commented and she was right since the entire place only had a hundred shelves

"That's where you are wrong. There are various sections of Death's library divided according to realms and the places on the realms. They are further divided by the first alphabet of the name of the person and then the second, then the third and so on. Let's go and find Death here." Kai explained as they started exploring the library.

***

There you have it. That was the third, and personally, the best volume I have written till now. The next volume will be even better than this one and it's going to be full of twists.

Here, I will drop a small sneak peek for you guys~magic

"Why are we here in Death's library?" Kai wondered out loud as he and his harem appeared in Death's library which was dimmer than normal.

Death suddenly appeared in front of Kai as his expression was panicked.

"Quickly get away from her-" Death began but it was too late as the entire place froze...

See you guys in the next volume~
