The Great Ancient One
Chapter 32: Ch 32
CHAPTER 32: CH 32
I don’t even remember when I fell asleep with Mary in my arms. One moment I was holding her close, feeling her warmth, and the next thing I knew... I was no longer in my room.
Instead, I found myself inside the world of books once again.
To be more exact, I was standing on the first floor of the mysterious tower—the one filled with endless shelves stretching so high and far that my eyes couldn’t find the end. Rows upon rows of books surrounded me, each one quietly waiting, as if guarding secrets that only I could uncover.
But something was different this time.
Right beside me stood a shelf that did not look like the others. While the rest of the shelves were uniform and seemed to vanish into infinity, this one was shorter, more distinct, and it immediately drew my attention.
I stepped closer and began scanning the titles. That was when I realized what made this shelf so unique. It wasn’t random at all—it was organized with the books that I had personally chosen before. Every single one I had picked up from the first and second floors of the tower was neatly arranged here, almost like a personalized collection created just for me.
I could clearly see familiar titles lined up in order: Basics of Technology, Nanobots, Body Strengthening Basics, and many more. Each one carried a small glowing tag beside it, marked as Floor 1, reminding me of where I had originally found them.
But then my eyes stopped at something unusual.
Among the neatly arranged books, there were four that stood out from the rest. They looked newer, sharper, almost as if they didn’t quite belong here. Unlike the others, they didn’t carry the same Floor 1 tag.
These four books were different.
They were not only more bulkier and more heavy looking and had a different aura around them but there was also a tag saying Floor 2 indicating that these were taken from second floor.
[Apocalyptic World
Floor:- 2]
[Cultivation World
Floor:- 2]
[Cyborg Tecnology
Floor:- 2
Tecnology Level:- 6]
[Spirit Biology
Floor:- 2
Tecnology Level:- 5]
Alex noticed the distinct collection of books: "Apocalyptic World, Cultivation, Cyborg Technology, and Spirit Biology... all from the second floor." His gaze fixated on the Cyborg Technology and Spirit Biology books, labeled with Technology Level 6 and 5 respectively.
"Technology Level 6 and 5, respectively! That’s impressive considering technology is capped at level 9," Alex exclaimed, marveling at this details as he got them just from the second floor, and since they are sure to give bonus rewards. He was even more looking forward to it.
’Just makes me wonder what could possibly be waiting on the higher-level floors considering all this knowledge is from second floor.’ I thought as I remembered the famous words, "Knowledge is the biggest weapon."
"Open simulation." I said, while playing with simulation previously, I get to know that this function is not as straight forward as it seems, not only it gave me a few spoilers about the future but also has the tendency to tell me what is the best I could do, as it will help me with some ploblem in future.
While also keeping my personality in mind, just after the first simulation, I was sure that once I faced the same situation, I would do the same and it made me, not even realise that I used 50 SP on it leaving me with only my last 50.
"Start the simulation on my reading schedule, the budget is umm... 10 points."
[Starting Simulation]
[It was the first day Alex woke up in the first floor of the Tower of Knowledge.]
[As Alex found himself amidst the shelves of books, he looked around the vast expanse of knowledge surrounding him. His eyes scanned the titles, the thickness of the volumes, and the unique energy they emitted. Amidst the array of books, one slender volume caught his attention.]
[Alex reached for the thin book, drawn to its seemingly concise yet potentially rich content. Engrossed in the ’reading’, he immersed himself in the book, absorbing the knowledge it offered. Time appeared to blur as he delved deeper into its contents, extracting insights and understanding from its pages.]
[ In but an hour, he finished the book, giving him a sense of enlightenment in many ways. Without hesitation, Alex shifted his focus to the Apocalypse and Cyborg Technology books on the shelf. These books, noticeably different in size and aura, seemed to hold a weighty significance compared to others.]
[Contemplating for a moment, Alex’s simulated self debated which book to explore first. "Apocalyptic World," he mused, drawn by the potential revelations it might contain. Then, his attention shifted to the Cyborg Technology book, its higher technological level intriguing him.]
[After a bit of thinking, Alex pulled both of this books. For the first half of the night, he read the first and then the second in the second half of Night.]
[Ding!]
[Please pay more to continue the simulation!!]
"No, there is no need." I said, even after knowing that if I continue then I will know what the bonus might be and where I will use it, but now, I have only 40 SP so I will like to save them for now.
But he was still amazed by the first book as he was planning on reading it too and then more on to other which he now know which one... or two.
After that, Alex immediately pulled the book with has wisdom so vast that it could shake many Universes. As for it’s title...
"Sex in Hundred Positions Vol. 1."
...
[A/N:- Yeah, that was a big filler, deal with it.]
...
The night passed and the morning came.
As the sun peek through the clouds, an average looking young man can be seen running in the ground.
He has unkept silver hair, not too flashy, and kinda average looking face. However, his body build was slightly above average, but not on par with professional athletes but still better than normal people.
But his eyes are unusual as they were like this weird shade of gold, with one having slightly silver light occasionally shining as if trying to come out from the trap, but it was so light that it was almost impossible to see with normal person vision.
Anyway, he was out there, running like there’s no tomorrow. With each step, he pushed himself, sweat dripping, breath hitching in the cool air.
Finally, after another round, he just collapsed, totally gassed. "Phew, finally finished this lap," he panted out, trying to catch his breath, feeling the strain of the run in every muscle.
[Ding!!]
[One Hundred Push-ups! :- ✔️
One Hundred Sit-ups! :- ✔️
One Hundred Squats! :- ✔️
A ten kilometres run! :- ✔️]
[Congratulations!! Host has completed today exercise quota!!]
[Fusion rate:- 10.1% / 100%]
A notification popped up in front of me as my fusion rate went up by .1% while I breath heavily. After I do some math calculations, I came to the conclusion that if I do this every day, it will take 900 days to reach 100.
That is if nothing happens in between, and system has already said that crossing a realm from 1st to 2nd or 2nd to 3rd, etc will only become difficult compared to regular strengthening and require a strong simulation... Like that one.
"At this rate, it will take around 3 years, but once this world changes in but a year, my progress after that will sky rocket and I will just need year or a half more... But still, I will try to reach hundred percent in an year before it begins." I muttered as I finalised my plans.
"That was great brother!!" A shout came from behind as Mary emerged and game me a bottle of water, which I eagerly take and started drinking. I was thirsty, completing this task was not easy even after all my stats had crossed 1 point mark.
After drinking water, I looked at my little sister who was ’licking’ her lolipop while sweating a little with a chest going up and down due to her breathing, her height only reached till my chest so I was able to see where that sweat was going before disappearing in that dark valley.
’I also wanna bury my head in my little sister big tits... Maybe, if I use the excuse that since I am naked, she too can undress, then.... hahaha I will be able to take advantage of her tonight.’ Unknowingly, a smile on my face and a tent on my pants before I calm down my excited heart.
"Let’s leave, it’s 6 o’clock sharp, and I don’t want to be late on the first day of the school." I said as Mary hummed, she too was exhausted even though all she did was some 5 push ups and 5 squats after Alex told her to do it as it was good for her body growth.
Unlike her who was done with just 5, Alex has done 100 each, which increased the admiration she had for her ’big’ brother even more.
Soon, both of us made way towards the car which was parked outside waiting for us to comeback. ’Seriously, it made me wonder how no one doubts about the VR game, except some handful of people of course.’ I thought with a sigh.
