He who sits on the stone throne, waiting for the chosen one to truly free this world from its cycle of fate... to achieve his unfulfilled promise.

The content of the notebook was surprisingly empty.

Ceri's handwriting was a very neat and organized one. From time to time, she wrote what she wanted to say on the information she listed and it was very cute to me.
'I didn't know the the additional attributes inside (+) was something that came from Blossoming'
Looking over the last next page; I understood it mentioned her skills.

I know I said I wanted to know more about Ceri and surely, this information is helpful but this wasn't the type of knowledge I wanted to learn the most.
Without much hope, I flipped to the next pages, expecting nothing as there was no more systematic information to tell.

I grinned like an idiot over happiness.
A girl, interested in me? What is this, heaven?
All I had to do was put my life on a stake in the given situation to try and carry a favor for a girl.
Thank you! As much as I treasure you, I'm ready to throw you out if I can increase my chance of getting married to a girl.
'Happiness.'
'You are a step closer now.' I held the pen with trembling hand before suppressing my excitement.
Regaining my cool, I wrote in the friendliest response I can think of, 'Sure thing!'
On the next 5th page, I copied Ceri and wrote about my stats, skills, and titles.
If a succubus were to appear in front of me and said that she will offer her body to me for some reason, I may hesitate before agreeing to her proposal.
This is much better than before because if it was before, I wouldn't even hesitate before nodding.
Surprisingly, my handwriting were much better compared to when I was still on Earth. Probably the influence of [Dwarf Dexterity]
There weren't any more letters on the next pages so I closed.
From now on, this notebook, next to the hugging pillow, would be the most important object to me.
I stretched my body after spending a short time in the library, both reading the First Hero's storybook and Ceri's cuteness-overloaded notebook
After satisfying myself, I got to the point of why I stopped by the librar. Of course, I'm studying history but I wasn't done with that.
[Alchemist for dummies]
[Mana Controlling for dummies Vol.1]
[Blacksmith for the idiot who wants to learn it without having the necessary strength]
[The guide on how to be the best cook and satisfy your lover's stomach!]
[Ingredients All Over The World, Volume 1]
[Torn clothes? Don't worry! Just sew it back]
[Pickup lines you can use to seduce a woman!]
[Woman's body language to tell whether she's interested in you!]
[500 ways to satisfy your partner in bed]
I picked up every book that caught my clairvoyance eyes.
I had [Dwarf's Dexterity] after all. It would be a waste if I don't optimize it.
The description said I can apply a benefit on any objects I make meaning I can overgear my teammate.
In truth, I just didn't want to be kicked out of the party or make my party member leave because of how incompetent the leader is.
Being an author, I know that the useless person is eventually left out by their outstanding comrade This doesn't only apply to the cultivation novel but also to the isekai novel.
Would a Fenrir follow someone if he was weak? Would a country-toppling beauty come to like the main character if he was weak? The sad truth was yes and no and if they did, they will eventually leave.
'Thankfully, I had(stole) a skill that let me be able to be useful and with the additional support from the long-range, I may be able to stay at this party without feeling guilty.'
'Forgive me my cowardly mindset for not being able to fight at the frontline,' the sight of monsters in front of me still scared me.
Unless I was tired as fuck, I can't even hold my bow tightly without shivering.
The next 10 minutes, I spent it reading a single book.
Unexpectedly, as fast as I read a book, the content of the book actually entered my head although not everything because I don't have a photographic memory.
That was probably another benefits clairvoyance gave you, as seeing everything without focusing on a clear vision gave you better memorization as there were no 'blurs' hindering you from remembering it.
(I give up making excuses on why he can remember books while reading them at lightning speed)
Between an hour and two, I finished reading every book I collected.
Ranking the books based on my interest, number one goes to [Ingredients All Over The World, Volume 1] and the worst one goes to [Pickup lines you can use to seduce a woman!].
Ingredients All Over The World were very interesting to read as it wrote where you can find the written ingredients, what kind of effect it brings, and what foods are best to cook it with.
Some ingredients are even used as alchemy materials.
The problem is Pickup lines, reading that one felt like reading the past fanfic I wrote. Cringe, boring, sleep-inducing.
'I'll keep how the 2nd place went to [500 Ways to Satisfy Your Partner in Bed] in my mind.'
Walking my way back to the rows of bookcases, I noticed.
'Why are there no people here? For once, I'm not distracted by a girl after attaining see-through, and that is because there are no girls around here.'
'Wait, first of all, could have I found this library without clairvoyance? No, before that, how did I get here?'
'Oh no, not to mention a customer, I didn't even see a cashier. Fuck, am I in a horror movie cliche right now?'
Although I don't watch horror movies, I knew that this was the kind of situation where you get dragged into these living nightmares.
'Should I just lay down the books and run away? But isn't it a bad manner? This library is very clean and neatly arranged. As a former Japanese, I'll feel bad if I were just being delusional.'
Hoping my Prothor wouldn't do anything bad, I carried the books and returned them to the bookcases,
*kacha*
Just as I laid the final book, a strange sound clicked, as if a Minecraft redstone connected.
From then on, the bookcases disappeared into a void, god knows nowhere as a path leading downstairs opened up, lighting up the torches alongside the wall, revealing the complex magic essay just below the bookcases.
"Is that you, Othorz? Didn't you get killed by Franer? Are you up there? Please come down here and take this shackle off me, if it's your power, you can do it. Please it's been so long I'm so lonely," sounded in high pitched voice.
It was the kind of voice that sounded beautiful and gave you an illusion that the individual behind this voice was a person with endless charm.
However currently, through minor calculations, I came up with a result that my life was more important than the seductive voice.
Not to mention, there was a woman I'm crazy about right now. To get me distracted, someone must confess to me.
"Othorz please free me from this shackle! I will forget about the revenge. After spending down here for so long... after losing you once, I've noticed this feeling of mine."
"Othorz, I love you, I want anything no more but spending my remaining eternity with you," the woman said while sobbing as if she reunited with her long-lost lover.
"I'm coming down to save you!" I was a man easily persuaded.
