The Goblin's Leveling System!

Axel's PoV:

"Are you sure that you aren't mistaken? Wait, it wouldn't make some sense if it wasn't the Great Sage Of Knowledge. I mean, who would write a book that thick that it's comparable to a skyscraper?"

Axel 2 asked me as he was both baffled and shocked after he knew who the author of the hundred paged book was.

A book that I had read before, mentioned the tales and legends about Great Sages.

A Great Sage was an existence just above a Sage.

It was mentioned in the boon that I had read from the Elven Library that the guardians of each race were also known as Great Sages.

The Great Sages possessed immense power and understanding about their respective profession and it would almost be impossible for anyone to defeat them in their profession.

The Great Sage Of Knowledge was mentioned in a book as a Great Sage that was obsessed with finding the answer to all questions he could think of.

It was understandable that the Great Sage Of Knowledge wrote the hundred paged book since he possessed immense knowledge but his intentions of writing the hundred paged book were still not clear to me.

It's possible that he wrote the hundred paged book just to keep track of the monsters' characteristics that he had found out.

It's also possible that he got bored and used his spare time to write anything he knew about the high-level monsters.

"What if, he was forced by someone to write this hundred paged book?"

Axel 2 told me his hypothesis about the reason why the Great Sage Of Knowledge wrote the hundred paged book.

"I'm not so sure about that. It's very unlikely for a Great Sage to be forced by someone. Unless another Great Sage or a much higher existence forced the Great Sage Of Knowledge."

I answered Axel 2's hypothesis and told him my opinion.

I'm not that sure how many Great Sages were still alive in this world.

The Great Sages were an equal existence to the demon race's demon ancestor.

After all, it was mentioned in the legends that the Great Sages and the demon ancestors were from the same generations.

It wouldn't be surprising if the Great Sages and the Demon Ancestors were possibly acquaintances and if not, friends considering that there had not been a war against other races a thousand years ago.

Of course, it doesn't mean that there wasn't a war against people from the same race since the internal conflict was inevitable.

Humans were greedy creatures that wouldn't be satisfied with what they currently have so it was already a miracle that the humans in this world didn't wage war with the other races a thousand years ago.

For now, I haven't read anything about an existence above a Great Sage and a Demon Ancestor except for the beings beyond the boundary or also known as demi-gods.

I had read that the demi-gods weren't technically demi-gods but comparable in terms of power and existence towards demi-gods.

Only a being could be called a demi-god if the said being was a child between a God and a Mortal.

Although, it's almost impossible to meet a genuine demi-god since the demi-gods had been living with the Gods in the Divine Realm after they were born or come of age.

In this generation, it was now deemed as impossible for another demi-god to come of existence since the Gods no longer could descend towards other planets.

The cause of God's inability to descend to any planets was still unknown for now, or that's what I knew.

The books that I had read until now didn't mention anything elaborate about the existence of the Gods much less the cause behind God's inability to descend.

I might be able to know more about that if I met the Great Sage Of Knowledge since, in the legends, it was mentioned that every ancestor of each race possessed a powerful artifact that could rival God's power.

It was also mentioned that the ancestors of each race's artifact were at the rank of Beyond God Rank.

Another book that I had read, indicated the power of a Beyond God Rank artifact.

A Beyond God Rank artifact could rival the power of a God because a Beyond God Rank artifact was said to be the manifestation of the power of a God.

All Beyond God Rank artifact had a portion of a God's divine soul so it resulted in a Beyond God Rank artifact possessing sentience.

Also, all God Rank artifacts possessed a fraction of a God's power and a God's soul so it was only a rank lower in terms of a Beyond God Rank artifacts' power.

I had read from a book about the Beyond God Rank artifacts that the Great Sage had possessed a thousand years ago.

Although, it wasn't mentioned in the book that the Great Sages still possessed their respective Beyond God Rank artifacts up till now.

But if the Great Sages still possessed their Beyond God Rank artifacts, then the Great Sage Of Knowledge should have the artifact that I needed to learn about the world's secrets.

The Great Sage Of Knowledge was said to have possessed the Beyond God Rank artifact that was known as the Akashic Records.

In the legends, it was said that the Akashic Records possessed the ability to record everything that happened in the past and everything that will happen in the future.

Although the future that the Akashic Records had predicted wasn't absolute, it could still provide a high probability that everything that the Akashic Records had predicted would happen.

Future wasn't absolute anyways. Understandably, even a Beyond God Rank artifact such as the Akashic Records wouldn't be able to fully predict the future outcome.

The Akashic Records only predict by using the past and present events to determine the next possible flow of events.

The Akashic Records' predicted outcome wouldn't come true if there was a variable that interfered with the flow of events, also known as an anomaly.

Although the Akashic Records wasn't an absolute artifact when it comes to predictions, I still wanted to obtain it since it records everything about past events.

If I wanted to know more about this world's past, then I might need to consult the Great Sage Of Knowledge about it.

If the Great Sage Of Knowledge was generous enough, then it might be possible for me to borrow the Akashic Records.

Although the problem is, I don't know the current whereabouts of the Great Sage Of Knowledge.

I might be able to obtain a clue of the Great Sage Of Knowledge's whereabouts if only I could meet the other Great Sages.

Even if I meet the Great Sage Of Knowledge, I'm not that positive that I would be able to borrow the Akashic Records.

It's not like I had something that the Great Sage Of Knowledge would be interested in.

"I will let you think. I'll now focus on reading this hundred paged book while absorbing mana in the surroundings.", Axel 2 said to me.

"I know that you'll ask my progress in reading the hundred paged book. Since there aren't any page numbering in this great (d*mn) book, I can only provide an estimate and I'm at around the 15,000th pages. I'm making progress in reading this hundred paged book so I suggest you start reading it or do something productive.", Axel 2 added.

After Axel 2 said that, he shoved the hundred paged book in front of him and started reading it in complete silence.

On the other hand, I didn't read the other part of the hundred paged book yet.

I have a decent amount of time before my demise so I might as well use it on finding more about the Great Sage Of Knowledge.

But first, I should at least check up on the current situation of the Dragon King.

The Dragon King was still in possession of my body and he used my body to confront the 8 high-level monsters.

I watched the point of view of the Dragon King using the eyes of my body.

To my surprise, the Dragon King and the 8 high-level monsters had yet to have a death match between each other.

The Dragon King and the 8 high-level monsters were having a staring contest with each other instead of fighting one another as they switched glances between one another.

I don't know when the fight between the Dragon King and the 8 high-level monsters would break out but I do know that if it happened, then the Dragon King, Axel 2, and I would use all of our abilities to bring all of them down.

After I checked up the Dragon King's condition, I closed the screen that showed the point of view of the Dragon King through my eyes.

I now focused on the other half of the hundred paged book.

The other half of the hundred paged book was levitated in front of me so I flipped through all of its pages until at the back page.

Usually, there would be a glossary, index, and bibliography at the end of the book's page or its back cover but in this hundred paged book that was written by the Great Sage Of Knowledge, there was no such thing.

Were the publishing standards of this world that low?

But fortunately, I found a piece of paper that was tuck in between the last page and the back cover.

The contents of the piece of paper were about the Great Sage Of Knowledge so I quickly read it to find more about the hundred paged book and the Great Sage Of Knowledge.
