Javier immediately searched for his room, and quickly fell asleep when he reached his bed. It was already 10 in the morning when Javier woke up and went to his bathroom.
He got surprised as he saw a mirror with his reflection on it. 'My face is still the same,' Javier gave a laughed and went downstairs to eat breakfast. When he arrived the elf lady can no longer be seen but an old man replaced her instead. *Must be shift, Javier thought and went to the old man to ask for information.
'Where can i find the library?' Javier asked. The old man didn't even look at him and answered "It's on the town's square" 'Alright' Javier nodded and left the man. 'He has the same attitude as that elf Haha.' Javier laughed and said when he made sure the man couldn't hear him.
He searched for a Baker's restaurant and ordered 5 pieces of bread and a coffee. Once he finished his breakfast he made way to Tailor's shop. Opening the door he was greeted by a man on his prime and said "Greetings sir, What can i do for you?"
'I want a good set of clothes.' Javier answered. "Professional?" the tailor asked. 'Yes, and i would also like to get that mask if possible.' Javier pointed to the mask that was hanged on the corner. "I believe it will be costly" the tailor looked and replied. Javier fell in love with the mask the first time he saw it because of the way its designed.
It was a bone mask that consisted of 2 horns at the top of it's head, a beastly fang out of it's mouth and a wonderful set of eyes that can make one look mysterious. "What type of color do you prefer?" the tailor asked again. 'I want it black, and can you also imbue the mask with the color of black?' Javier answered and made a request. "Of course, as long as you can pay. The overall price is 40 gold coins along with the mask" the tailor reassured Javier.
After making sure that everything is alright, he paid the tailor the appropriate amount and left the shop. The tailor told him to pick up his clothes 3 days from now so Javier decided to do other things in the remaining time. He started to walk towards the library, when he got surprised at the scene he saw. two blurry images were fighting each other one wields a fire and the other wields a water.
'Heh..., talk about rivalry.' Javier said while approaching them. Javier decided to watch for a bit because there were currently a lot of people watching. Forming a ring that surrounds the two fighters and also blocking the libraries entrance at the same time.
Javier got curious to the mages as well, Because this was the first time he saw mages fighting with his own eyes. He snapped his fingers and time immediately stopped. When Javier was on the way he started to experiment his ability and learned that he can do actions instead of repeatedly saying words. With this he can activate his powers easily and less noticable. Of course Javier could do a much more hidden activation. But he shrugged it off as it was too much work and not needed at the moment.
When time stopped, the previously blurry images that he cannot see became entirely visible. They were two females fighting each other. One had a golden hair, and the other had a silver one. He became amazed at the process of deploying a spell. Because when he stopped time.
He captured the moment a spell was being cast. Fire surrounded the girls hand in which slowly forming a vortex. 'After that, it will turn into an attack spell huh?' Javier deducted and soon as he got bored of watching, he went to the libraries entrance and resumed time.
When he entered, he was greeted by a young man who was in his 20s "Sir, what can i do for you?" The young man asked. 'I want to find knowledge about history,' Javier replied. "History books is on the 3rd floor section C" the young man instructed Javier and added "5 copper coins will be spent for every hour staying at the library"
Javier looked at the young man and nodded while heading to the 3rd floor. The library was not that crowded and from there he could clearly see the two woman fighting below. While glancing at them, he noticed that a beautiful woman was silently watching both of them. Javier approached her and asked.
'Do you know them?' Javier initiated a conversation. "Yes, they are the Marquess's daughter." she replied. 'Why are they fighting?' Javier continued. "I don't know, every week you can see them fighting each other" she answered. 'Must be internal issues, I'm Ethan and you are? Javier introduced himself.
"I'm Selena" Noticing that she doesn't want to continue having a conversation Javier bowed and headed towards section C. When he found the book that he wanted to read, Javier sat cross legged, snapped his finger and started reading the book. He learned that there were 4 continents on this world each having their own races and eco system.
They were Landia, Trandia, Sopedia, and Maladia. These 4 continents equalled to four countries. Landia being the human continent, Sopedia the beast continent, Trandia the elf continent, and Maladia the demon continent. Over the years, there have been countless wars that kept on going for 3000 years. Someday the people got tired of it and initiated a truce. All of the 4 countries agreed on it, and a major alliance was made. Peace continued for the next 500 years until one terrible cult who equalled to a power of a country emerged.
People called it the Devil's cult. because of the terrifying acts that they have made from the previous years. Humans didn't know where they come from, But they only know that they have the devil's mark on their backs. There were currently 32 kinds of races that is currently recorded on the history of the world. Some of the famous were elves, dwarves, humans, and demons.
There is a power that every race uses, and it's called mana. This mana is the one wizard's and other life forms use when handling magic. Well that's the gist of it, Javier said while closing the book. There were a lot of things to know on this world. Also, ever since he woke up from yesterday's sleep he started to understand the meaning of this world's language and literature.
Javier stood up, 3 hours have passed since he started reading but only a few minutes have gone since he entered the library. I guess i won't have to pay the bill. Javier laughed and started heading downstairs. "Do you need anything sir?" The young man asked when he saw Javier descending the stairs.
'No, i forgot to do something and need to immediately leave.' Javier replied while giving a smile. The young man no longer replied and lightly bowed his head. Javier went outside and decided to take his lunch. He can control time, but he can't control getting hungry. Javier ran to the nearest restaurant and ordered his food.
It was already near 1 when Javier finished eating. He was already about to leave when he saw the man he robbed yesterday entered the restaurant. Heh, that man's luck is terrible Javier laughed inwardly and snapped his fingers. He plans to rob that man again, and of course he wasn't disappointed. This time the man brought out two times the amount he previously had. Which gave Javier a joy while counting the coins on the nearest table. When he finished counting, he transferred all of the 100 gold coins toward his pouch and went back from his seat.
When time resumed, Javier made it look like he was still eating while silently observing the man's reaction. Yep, soon enough the man started yelling "Where the fuck is my money!" the man kept cursing a he tried to search his pouch, only to find nothing. This time all of the people eating gazed on the man yelling. The girl beside him had a look of anger and immediately left the man. "Wa– wait" the man hurriedly chased after the lady. Javier silently followed them.
When the man caught the lady, the lady gave him an annoyed expression and shrugged off the man's hand. "Dammit who dares to fucking steal from me?" The man angrily said while walking with big steps towards one of the alleys of the street. Javier who was there, felt a bit pitiful to the man he stole from.
But he continued to tail him as he entered the alley. When the man arrive from a certain door, the man looked left and right and after making sure that no one saw him, he entered the door. Of course to Javier who was currently on the roof. Saw everything and wondered what type of business does this man have in order to carelessly carry around large amount coins and just use it for hooking up ladies.
