Chapter 55: Instant Mastery
Dwivedi Clan Library was big enough to sustain many people.
Clan members can borrow the books for free on the first floor, but the Rewa city's ordinary citizens have to pay the price for borrowing a book. Usually, all the three clans charge two bronze coins for 3 hours.
The above floors are for the clan elders and their children. But each elder can take a book copy once per month.
And the 3rd floor is personally for the clan head, Whereas no one can obtain the book from the 4th floor without the Clan head's permission.
Knowledge Books are scarce in the Sincromas world. So, they were held high.
Kritos had already learned that the knowledge books for the Elements are present on the last floor and is restricted to copy the content of any script existing on the 4th floor.
These scripts and books are a lifetime of hard work for their Ancestral.
Knowledge about the elements is rare and limited in any Clan. In ancient times, no one shares their knowledge and understanding of magic with anyone other than their fellow magicians.
And anyone who wants to follow the magician path must have a talent for any element. Furthermore, they should have a high understanding of their element.
Anyone can comprehend and understand the elements with experience. But it takes many years to do that. To decrease the time and increase the efficiency, many high-rank magicians begin writing their whole life experiences about a particular element into a book for their future descendants.
Now in the present day, these books exist in the top place of any clan, and only a clan member can learn from them.
This type of Knowledge can't be copied to another paper. It'll drastically decrease the effect even if someone entirely copies the writing style.
That's why the books about the elements are limited in the Sincromas world.
Only a high-rank magician can write their understanding of elements into a book.
In the Dwivedi Clan, there is a rule that before anyone borrows a book from the 4th Floor, they must have to take an oath that if by chance in the future, they reach a High Realm and understanding of magic. They have to write a book about the understanding of a particular Element.
This is the only way a small clan like the Dwivedi clan can avoid Magic book's extinction from their Clan.
It was already approx 300 years passed when a magic cultivator from their Clan reached the Core Mage Realm, who was a step away from becoming Mystic mage.
It was the time when their Clan was a top-notch Clan in this Region.
Kritos already has a permission key from his Grandfather to borrow a book from the 4th floor before taking the oath in front of his Ancestor statue.
In the morning, he first visited Clan hall, where he meets his grandfather. It was hard, nearly impossible to convince his grandfather to permit him.
Lakhan thought that his grandson just wanted to learn about the elements for curiosity. Kritos can't cultivate due to the problem of Soul beast. It wasn't very sensible to give anyone permission who just wanted to understand it out of curiosity.
Moreover, giving him the book for a month was impossible. Many young clan members were waiting in the line for the books.
Each year only ten members can borrow the book from the 4th floor.
Finally, when Kritos persuades him by saying he just wanted the book for 3 hours, Lakhan instantly agrees.
Before departing for the Clan Library, Kritos have to upgrade the rank of Instant Memorization.
***
"From this place, the Rewa city looks enchanting," Kritos murmurs while lying on a tree branch of a big tree. It's the place where Kritos comes after his training session.
He was the sole king of this tree. No one dares to visit this place.
Kritos remembers the day when every day was a nightmare for him in Rewa city. For a few months after arriving at Rewa city, he held himself alone in a room, Crying and sobbing all day.
After realizing, crying can't do anything, he decided to train his body.
But it wasn't easy as he thought with his fat body. Jumping was the most challenging thing where he exhausts half of his body stamina.
Furthermore, the gossip about his training spread in the whole Rewa city.
The ordinary people just stare at him with a pitying look. While in his back, many of them laugh and talk about him being training his body.
It was hard to ignore them, but he does. Moreover, this behavior increases his motivation.
As the day passes, more people frequently make jokes about him.
"Well, I was pretty famous that time, haha." Kritos silently murmurs.
Famous, yes, he was. But, a famous man with no friends.
It wasn't like Kritos didn't want to make friends, but most of the people around him ignored him.
First, he thought that he was fat, that's why no one was willing to become his friend.
However, after being here for one year, Kritos know the main reason.
He was low born.
A son of the peasant.
That day he knows Hierarchy happens in the Sincromas world.
From that day, except for his family members, he never talks with anyone.
Nonetheless, Kritos felt lonely.
It was the place where Kritos could feel he was with someone, and no one dared to disturb him in this place.
Maybe, he wanted to lay in a quiet place, free from any disturbance.
Kritos looked at the particular place where a name was written on a rock.
Rio Rathore
Like his brother's name, there are many names written on rocks.
This cemetery was a place where rarely anyone comes.
Kritos wasn't wasting his time here; he is just waiting for the particular time to visit the Clan library.
Lakhan, his grandfather, said that he should visit the Clan library at a particular time when there weren't many people present.
Kritos came here to pass his time and upgrade his talent as the clan library exists closed to it. Not so closed but closer than his house.
Kritos stared at his screen and then focused on the Instant Memorization talent.
There was + option that appeared on the right side of the Instant memorization.
Kritos doesn't take much time to understand that it was a way to upgrade the talent. Before, when he checked, the + symbol was dull. That time his SP was less than 100.
He focuses his mind on the + sign.
[Ding…]
[Do host want to upgrade Instant Memorization for 100 SP]
A screen popped up on his vision where two options were waiting for his choice.
He instantly chooses the yes option.
[Upgrading….10%]
[Upgrading….60%]
[Upgrading…100%]
As Kritos heard 100%, his mind started spinning, and he felt his mind was going to explode.
Many changes happen in his brain, and after five seconds, sharp pain comes in his eyes.
Kritos eyelid trembled, and then, in pain, he closed his eyes.
After a few seconds, Kritos takes a heavy breath and calms his mind.
Kritos felt that the wall that was halting him to understand further is broken.
Many things that previously he didn't understand were clear to him now.
His brain was working at high speed. Kritos can clearly see that this upgrade changes many things in his body.
Kritos first calms his chaotic mind, which is experiencing many changes, then he looks at his status screen.
Kritos gaze stops at the Talent tab.
[Instant mastering (Rank A): Allow the mind to remember, understand anything clearly and memorize any techniques or skills permanently. The brain can also restore the forgotten memories and could completely remember a single detail. (Next upgrade cost 1000 SP)
Now, Kritos knows why some forgotten childhood memories are revolving around his mind.
In most of the childhood memories, he was with his childhood friend, Shivam.
Suddenly, a stroke of shock appears on his face.
Shivam!
Who is Shivam?
