Did the second volume turn blue because he completed the first inheritance quest?

“Is there a requirement to unlocking more quests?”

No matter how he looked at the situation, the second book only changed because he fulfilled some condition . Although he wasn’t sure why the first volume was glowing blue in the first place, he knew why the second volume was .

Completion of the first inheritance quest . That was the requirement . After he stared at the book glowing in blue, he turned his head to look at the first and third volumes .

The first volume was not sparkling like the books next to it .

“The third volume is still white . ”

The third book was still the same as when he got the quest . Only the second volume had changed .

“And if I completed the second books quest……”

The third volume could change to a blue colour like the second book . He only had to read the second volume, get the quest and complete it .

Walter snapped out of his thoughts and looked back towards the second volume . It was time . Walter had started to take the first step when……

Whoosh!

Something suddenly appeared in front of him! A split second later, Walter realised that it was a young man . Calming himself, Walter thought .

“So there are still people going to the library . ”

He had even considered the possibility of the library being forgotten . But it seemed like this was not the case, as there was a user in front of him .

The young man suddenly turned around and met eyes with Walter .

“……”

“……”

To break the awkward atmosphere, Walter forcibly smiled and greeted the other user .

“H-hello . ”

“Ah, Nice to meet you too . ”

“……”

“……”

An awkward silence fell again after the greeting . After a few seconds, the young man turned around and started to walk away .

“No, wait . ”

Walter was pulling out the second volume of ‘The Legend of Larkan’ when he suddenly looked at the first volume . Walter had just had a sudden thought .

“Can other people still do the quests that I’ve completed?”

Walter was curious about whether the special quests could be repeated . At least, he wanted to know if it was possible for ‘Larkan’s First Inheritance’ .

“If he can see blue too……”

That meant that people could get the special quests that other people had completed .

“I have to ask . ”

Walter was planning to ask the young man from before whether he thought the book was glowing blue or white . Of course, you needed to fulfil a requirement for the book to glow blue, but Walter was not worried about that as he was just a new Magician at level 10 when he got the quest .

Although he didn’t know what the requirement was, he couldn’t think of anything else that might’ve triggered the blue glow . This meant that the young man had most likely also fulfilled the requirement . Walter pulled out the first volume and headed towards where the young man had gone .

The young man was sitting at a desk when Walter found him again . He was reading a book while surrounded by 4 other books . The books were also all glowing with a white colour .

Walter approached the desk and sat down on the chair opposite to the young man, waiting for the other person to make eye contact .

“……?”

However, the young man didn’t make eye contact no matter how hard Walter stared at him . Walter was gradually getting more and more flustered the longer he waited .

“What kind of concentration is this?……”

At first, Walter had just patiently waited . He had also coughed slightly to get his attention . But the young man hadn’t reacted at all! He was focused completely on reading his book .

“If this goes on, I’d feel guilty for interrupting . ”

Walter wanted to excuse himself now . But how could he excuse himself to the other party if they weren’t even paying attention?

“But his reading speed is really fast . ”

How long would he take to finish the book? Walter had even started counting!

“It looks like it’s going to take some time . ”The young man was reading at an unbelieving fast rate . It was hard to believe that he’d read every single word before flipping the page . But the book also one of the thicker books in this library . No matter how fast he read, it going to take some time .

“Yes, let’s wait . ”

After pondering hard, Walter ultimately decided to wait for the young man to finish . Of course, he wasn’t just going to sit there . Walter put the first volume of ‘The Legend of Larkan’ on the desk and started reading the second volume .

“And that’s all of them . ”

Soo Hyuk had read all the skill quests and closed the tab . He was currently walking in the tunnel, towards the warp magic circle .

He had nothing to do here . The next time he was going to come here was probably when he reached level 100 and could open another door .

Soo Hyuk arrived at the end of the tunnel and stepped on the magic circle . A screen with the warp options appeared, and Soo Hyuk tapped on Matab Library .

[Warping to ‘Matab Library’ . ]

A magic circle lit up at the same time as the message appeared, and the surrounding space began to distort .

After a flash of bright light, Soo Hyuk found himself in a familiar scenery . Soo Hyuk turned to a bookcase to pick up a book .

“……!”

When he turned around, he suddenly saw another man right in front of him . There was an awkward silence .

“H-hello . ”

Sensing the awkward atmosphere, the man smiled while greeting him . Soo Hyuk hurriedly greeted him back and after another round of awkward silence, he hastily turned around and went to a desk .

“They cleaned it up as expected . ”

Soo Hyuk saw his old spot when he arrived at the clearing filled with desks . He had previously left three books there, but it was empty now . He had already realised this when he was reading through his quests . Soo Hyuk picked random books from a nearby bookcase and started reading at a desk .

“Wow, this is quite thick . ”

Soo Hyuk thought as he admired the book that was nearly 2 times as thick as the other books . Soo Hyuk was especially fond of thick books since he could read more without interruption . Soo Hyuk had also chosen 4 other books aside from the thick book . Soo Hyuk had started reading the thick book as soon as he sat down at a desk .

[Wisdom has increased by 1 . ]

[Wisdom has increased by 1 . ]

Soo Hyuk smiled at the messages . Although thick books took a longer time, if they were thick enough, they also gave extra wisdom .

“Thick books are more comfortable to read, and they also give more wisdom . ”

Soo Hyuk didn’t know in the beginning, but as he read more books in the Matab Library, he had discovered this fact . The fact that even the white books could give 2 points of wisdom if they were thick enough . Like now, when he gained 2 wisdom . I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm

Soo Hyuk looked up from the now dark book as he closed it . But Soo Hyuk couldn’t help but panic slightly when he looked up .

“……Huh . ?”

Soo Hyuk stared at the young man on the other side of his desk with a flustered expression . It was the person who greeted him previously in the library .

“Why……”

Why was the young man sitting opposite him? There were lots of spare seats around them . In fact, there was no one else inside the library currently . So why did he choose to sit opposite him?

“Ah!”

While Soo Hyuk was deep in thought, he suddenly heard a voice . He looked towards the source of the voice, which was the young man that he had been thinking about .

“So, you finished reading . ”

Said the young man when Soo Hyuk made eye contact .

“……Did he wait for me?”

From the way he talked, it seemed like this was the case .

“Why though?”

He was unfamiliar to Soo Hyuk . A stranger .

“Does he need something from me?”

As Soo Hyuk was thinking, he asked the unfamiliar young man .

“Did you perhaps wait for me?”

“Yes, I waited for you to finish that book . ”

The young man replied as he nodded to his question .

“Why did you wait for me?”Soo Hyuk asked again . He was curious as to why this unfamiliar man had waited this long for him .

“So, the thing is……”

The young man started to say, he held up a book while grinning . It was a normal white book .

“The Legend of Larkan 1?”

Soo Hyuk checked the title and looked up at the young man again . Why did this person suddenly give this book to me? Sensing his suspicion, the young man said to Soo Hyuk .

“What colour do you see?”

His question was simple . It was about the colour of the book .

“You mean the glow, right?”

Soo Hyuk asked the young man, just to make sure .

“Yes . ”

The man replied while nodding .

“White . ”

“White?”

The young man repeated .

“Yes . ”

This time, Soo Hyuk nodded .

“Is something there?”

Soo Hyuk wondered as he stared at ‘The Legend of Larkan 1’ in the young man’s hands .

“Why is he asking me that?”

While he was wondering, the young man suddenly exclaimed .

“I see . Thank you for your answer!”

“Did you wait just to ask that question?”

The young man did not immediately reply to his question .

“……Yes . ”

Then, looking like he decided something, he continued .

“Perhaps . ”

As soon as the young man opened his mouth again, Soo Hyuk also concentrated .

“Do you know the blue glow?”

“Yes, I know about it . ”

Not only the blue glow, Soo Hyuk also knew about the red and purple colours . Soo Hyuk answered while nodding .

“Then this makes this a lot easier . ”

The young man then continued .

“Actually, this book is blue for me . ”

“……Really?”

Soo Hyuk was flustered again . The young man was holding ‘the Legend of Larkan 1’, and it was definitely white . But it was blue for him?

“Don’t tell me……”

Soo Hyuk suddenly thought of a possibility .

“It’s different for every user?”

ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm Then Soo Hyuk changed his thought after considering the situation more .

“No, it can’t be like that . ”

The books are different for every user? Then it was too unfair . Some users would get good quests while some would get bad ones .

In ‘Pangea’, hard work and effort was a large part of the game . There was some luck, but ultimately, you had to work hard to be good at the game . But if the quests that users could get from the library depended solely on luck, then a hardworking user might get a trash title while a casual user might get a godly item with just more work than usual . Soo Hyuk thought that this wasn’t the case as it was just too unfair .

“Then it’s special requirements?”

Soo Hyuk had read many books so far, and there was a lot of fantasy novels set in Pangea . Although it wasn’t all of them, some required certain conditions to be fulfilled to get a special item . Soo Hyuk thought that special quests also worked the same way .

“And this book . ”

The young man pulled out another white book, and continued,

“It was white at first but turned blue . ”

Soo Hyuk finally came to a conclusion after hearing his words .
