Chapter 3 - ANCIENT CIVILIZATION

Despite the setback Alexander's determination surge even more as he decided to learn the Mayan language himself but he decided to rest for a few more days in order to get permission to be discharged.

Alexander took some breakfast and focused on researching about the said language.

From morning till night he only read, search, eat, rest and do some light exercise before ending the day. He do this actions flawlessly as if it was coded to his bones or DNA.

Despite his handsome looks Alexander is also a scholar making his way to best schools using his great knowledge about things to get the sponsorship of his city, as the others say he was a genius.

For 6 days Alexander repeated these things that his nurse notice his peculiar action and was perplexed but in the end decided to ignore him as all people who get a VIP treatment has some peculiar habits or actions and he is quite normal compared to others.

On the next morning Alexander is now ready to get discharged as he is now fit to go and do some activities except fighting or putting too much stress on his body by doing extreme exercises.

He walks up to the door and took a step out of his room. He is still amazed despite knowing that the hospital he's currently at is one of the best in his city.

After going down a couple of floors he walks to the reception. He is surprised as the lady who is standing there is the nurse who usually delivers his food.

"Good morning Ms. Mary" he said

"oh it's you Alexander. Can't wait to get out do you?" she teasingly asked.

"Hehe! Yup! I got a lot of work and research to do." he replied.

"Oh, it seems you're one of the so called genius aren't you? well best of luck here's the letter you are now discharged.

"Thanks Ms. your future husband must be pretty happy to have a beautiful and kind woman like you." he replied

"don't tease me! I don't even have a boyfriend. shoo go now I can't waste to much time here as there are other people who needs me." she said

"alright alright I was gonna go home anyway, Bye Ms." Alexander replied with a kind smile as he walks out of the hospital waving his hand at the reception area.

Little did he know that after he turned back the woman blushed and whisper an almost inaudible reply. "Hmph men, if I want a boyfriend obviously I want someone like you" she said her voice going so like a mosquito. She suddenly slaps her cheek embarrassed of what she is thinking.

Going out of the hospital he promised himself to find the truth of his parents death even though the old man referred to them as a hero, he also decided to explore the map left by his parents.

Going to his Superhuman Organization he decided to visit their library as it was the collective effort of everyone in his country to rebuild this building in order to commemorate the past era's achievement it is where also almost all records of things from myths, folklore,novel, biography's, research paper, dictionary and all things that had been printed and survive the event are as the new era of today uses online copy of things instead of having them in reality.

Martial Arts, Skills and other things that the government reward to people could also be seen at the upper level but contains a price for you to read it.

Just by entering the library he could see the brilliance it has once. He could imagine how the last era of people spend their time writing and copying their works in order to pass it to the next generation and yet he could also feel how magnificent the place was as it full of energetic young man and woman searching for their fated martial arts and the only individual there who peek his attention is an old man who sits by the desk lazily yet you could not help but feel respectful as he have this demeanor around him.

Walking to the desk he knock on it to get his attention.

Knock! knock! knock

"Hello sir, I would like to " before he could finish what he was saying he was interrupted as the old man suddenly looks at him with a strange glint in his eyes before suddenly laughing.

"Great! great! It seems the time has already come young man it seems you want to learn some things aren't you?" he asked

"Yes, elder i would like to ask if there are books about the Mayan civilization here and their language if possible" Alexander asked with a puzzled expression.

"Oh it seems you are curious about some things, let me look it up for you." the old man replied.

Alexander just stood there looking at the old man flipping a couple of pages on what looks like a record before dismissing the old man's earlier reaction as it seems he just want someone to talk to. Although he could search it by himself why don't he ask others help to make it easier and not waste too much time.

After waiting for a couple of minutes the old man finally found the record and directly search the book for him. It took them a few minutes of searching as the area where the book resided is quite big.

"Here it is, just scan the code and you could get an online-copy of the said book and if you want to read it physically you can freely to read it here. Also there is a fee of 100 federation coins if you want an access to read all the books here except those that required fee like the martial arts, skills, abilities, medicine, AI and other things and 200 federation coins if you want an online copy of it but remember that you cant share the one you bought." the old man said

Alexander wasn't surprised as everything in this world almost has a fee and it cost quite cheap especially he could read almost all this knowledge the old era left behind to their future generation. Since he also like the smell of books especially feeling the texture when turning the page he decided to read it.

Opening the book he was quite surprised for what he read especially their contributions to mathematics especially from discovering the number zero, predicting solar eclipses, using astrological cycles to aid in planting and harvesting and developed two calendars that are as precise as those we use today, astronomy, art, medicine, agriculture and they are also gifted architects. This achievements made him wonder why did they perished but in the end it was said to be caused by the environmental change and warfare. Reading page by page Alexander didn't even notice that a few hours passed by. Immersing himself at reading the books he notice it only when his stomach rumble so much it took of his concentration.

Deciding to rest for today he scan the rest of the books to get an online-copy so that he could study it at home although it would certainly take a toll on his seemingly low budget.

Discharging those lingering thoughts he walk out of the building and decided to go home as it already past 1 in the afternoon and his stomach still rumbles in protest due to his negligence.

Walking down to the area where poor people like him resided he thought that it would be better to move out at soon as possible to provide himself comfort as his room is only as small as a dormitory room of a student.

Opening his room he hurriedly walks to the kitchen and cook himself an egg and some instant noodles. Although these are unhealthy if you eat this everyday he was still poor so he could only endure.

Eating a couple more breads, Alexander can now think things other than food. He opens the box and put the map on his desk intending to study it's purpose or what it says.

He also decided to call his old professor in history and geography specializing in ancient civilizations about the words meaning.

He decided to send him a couple of pictures of the text and a fraction of the map as he didn't know if what he has could attract some unwanted attention. Searching for the old professors contact he thinks of a few reason and decided to call immediately.

"Hello Professor Ishigami it's me your student Alexander can you still remember me" he asked

"ow! Young man Alex! it seems this old man could still be of help." he replied

"of course how could I forget the best professor in history, geography and most of all the civilization." Alexander replied while his lips unconsciously curl upwards.

"Hoho, it seems you're still a great flatterer ey!, so what do you need my help for? he asked

"Here it is professor I encounter this text and it intrigued me so I would like to hear your opinion as I don't have enough knowledge of these things." Alexander replied

"I see just sent me a couple of pictures and I'll tell you after I finished deducing it" professor Ishigami replied.

"Then thanks for the effort professor I'll shall not bother you anymore, Goodbye" he replied

After knowing that his professor seen his last message he performed a few series of actions that may look bizarre.

It was after all the universal beast martial arts cultivation technique the most basic and important key in order to have a stronger and successful future.
