Viktor's POV:
As soon as the unknown thing went inside my body, it felt like a thousand, no, millions of books were installed inside my brain forcefully. My whole body was rejecting the process because there was no space left inside my body to store further information. So it began to break down and split apart.
But Adonis gave me my high potions that were supposed to be a trial dose of the undead, but it worked great to hold my body intact.
I remember losing my senses from the pain, but the series of thousands of memories were still playing inside my mind.
Then I saw it.
The origin of the whole universe.
It was a huge tree with 4 main branches with thousands of semi-branches all over its head. But they were vanishing one by one.
I feel like I have a huge job waiting for me in the future. The tree called me for help but I had nothing with me because it was just my memories.
...
I woke up and saw Adonis beside me sleeping.
Then Adonis screamed, hugged me and cried all the snot off from his nose. I never thought he was going to take care of me instead of killing me.
-I guess I became a very important person to him.
Later, I checked the book again but there was nothing. It was just my head full of countless books about the records of the great beings from the guardian realm and the one and only creator.
I had to say that I was speechless when I read all those books, but if that's the truth of this universe, then
This world is going to die very soon.
Now that I think about it, there is no reason for the guardian of the knowledge to transfer me in exchange for nothing.
He said that he will come back after a few centuries.
The crest he gave me is powerful enough to keep me alive until then.
He was thinking hard after sleeping for a whole day. The books inside his head, the weird history of the universe, it was too much for him to handle.
Now, the first thing first. I need to take a bath.
"Master, the bath is ready."
Adonis came inside his room with a towel.
"Oh, you're here. Let's go."
Both of them went inside the bathroom. It was bigger and more luxurious than his bathroom back on earth. It was small, dark and messy. But here, his bathroom is the size of his whole apartment.
At least I can take a warm bath without using any magical spells.
Viktor touched the water and felt warm.
"It's perfect. "
The moment he took off his shirt, Adonis stopped him.
"Master, wait!"
"Hm? Is there something wrong?"
Viktor asked him.
"Maybe you should see this by yourself ."
Adonis removed the curtain from the huge mirror and Viktor saw the huge pattern-like design on his back. It was covered from his neck down to his waist.
He was speechless...
-It's a crest.
"Adonis, do you feel any changes in my body?"
"Yes, it's your mana. Your mana changed its shape and colour. "
-Viktor mentioned something about Adonis's power somewhere in the novel. He can see the mana of a person. The colour, the shape, even he can feel its taste. He could tell who is super loyal to him or has a bad intention behind his innocent face.
So the thing Adonis saw was huge. He saw Viktor's mana as the shape of a book. It was golden and had so many bookmarks. It looked like a record book rather than some random book for only reading.
Adonis was so overwhelmed with the aura and turned his skill off because it was hurting his eyes. Viktor's aura was too bright for him to look at.
But Viktor was looking at his face with a confused expression.
"Is everything alright, Adonis?"
"Oh.. Ah. Yes, master."
-I guess he saw some books inside my body? Because I have countless books inside my memory like a huge library right now -_- .
"Then help me wash my hair."
I have a feeling that I will become so busy in the near future. I won't even have a single minute to rest.
Hah..
He leaned down and put his head under the water. It was blurry when he opened his eyes and saw the blurry orange eyes of Adonis. He was looking at him with a worried expression.
-He's looking like a cartoon from here. I guess I have to stop making him worried about anything.
"Adonis, let's go to the academy. My exam will start at 10."
"Yes, master."
After receiving the crest of the record, I feel like there is something really important to collect inside the academy. It's so important that the crest on my back kept ringing all night ruining my sleep.
Next day at 7 AM.
"Hurry up master, it's going to be so crowded after the ships from the other kingdoms reach the port. "
"Yes, coming"
Viktor took a pen inside his pocket and left the house.
...
A little far away from Viktor's house, A ship from the Greysial kingdom reached the port of Brinein.
A huge crowd had already formed in front of the ship.
Some man came down on the dock and took a deep breath.
"So this is the place where that academy is."
A young nobleman came to the land of Vestrain to participate in the biggest entrance exam on the continent.
"Hahah! This is going to be fun. "
…
In the meantime, Viktor was eating a blue popsicle made from blueberry he bought from an ice cream store and suddenly felt a huge wave of mana from afar. It was so powerful that he looked back quickly and saw a big ship in the port from another kingdom.
-I feel like something just entered this area. My crest of the record is giving me a huge signal.
Viktor looked at Adonis's face and saw him looking in the same direction where his crest was informing him.
"Master, I think something odd just came into this kingdom. "
-So he felt that.
"Yes, I felt that too."
