Viktor's guardian fragment has more than 80 guardian fragments. That's why his core fragment changed into a hollow fragment that has access to any beings records without any problem.
But his fragment wasn't perfect. He had one small piece missing and any fragment could cover the gap in his core. But the problem was the earth didn't have many fragments scattered around. There were only 5 to 6 fragments and their whereabouts were unknown.
Viktor had to start looking for them and to do so, he had to read the records of guardians and figure out their names and look for their fragments' location in the red section of his library.
He was already exhausted.
"Ugh!!! Why aren't there any clues? There are about millions of guardian records and I still can't believe they don't even know each other. I mean, you guys lived in the same realm and how can you not know who's under your shadow? There isn't any list of them."
He threw a red record book behind in a pile of red books and took another book out of the shelf.
"Now, let's read this guardian of the moth called Lily."
He flipped the page and saw nothing. "What?"
He again turned the page and saw she lived her whole life sleeping. When she woke up, a heavenly guardian sliced her neck along with her fragment.
"What a disappointment."
He again threw the book on the mountain of books and looked at another one's records.
"How much time has passed? 6 years?"
He looked at the clock and saw the date was 25th December. "I cast a time bonding spell around me after I came here so I guess it's been so long. And the outside world is the same as before."
He looked at the never-ending bookshelf and thought, 'This will take more than a thought. I want to keep looking for more but the time says it's my birthday."
"My 50th birthday."
He put the book back on the shelf and went to the library premises to rest a little. "When I came here for the first time, there was nothing but empty bookshelves. There was nothing but vast infinite space. But now, it has more than billions of books that contain the records of dead gods and the one who's in charge. But I can't still look inside his record because my fragment isn't complete and I need one more to reach the peak."
He looked at the floating white cube in the middle of the premises and said, "That's the record of the one and only god. I don't have the key to open it nor the permission. But I really want to know what's inside. The urge to open the door still rushes through my veins but I still don't know how to do so. I need to find one single fragment and that will be it."
He floated closer to the cube and touched its surface to feel its warmth. "You're still warm."
He again flew inside the green record section and pulled out the record of the water guardian.
"If I want to look for dead people, I need to study those who are still alive from the very beginning."
He flipped the book and saw an infinite amount of information. So he said, "This is going to take a while."
Just like this, Viktor spent 19 years inside his record library just to complete the record of water guardian in acceleration reading. The water guardian is 1.3 billion years old. So reading his record super quickly took Viktor 19 years and when he closed the book, the clock made him shocked.
"What? I'm 69 years old?"
(Actually, Viktor is 701,669 years old.)
"Hah.. who cares. It's not like I'm going to die. The main point of my 19 years of study is that I found only one location. I don't know whether I should be disappointed or happy right now. But at least I can fill the gap in my core. It's been 25 years since I came inside my record and now I need to see some grass."
Viktor closed his eyes after so many years and fell asleep. He was mentally exhausted because of reading for a long time so he decided to sleep instead of waking up.
'I want a nice rest now. I'll think about the world later."
The sun came up and fell on Viktor's face. He forgot to close the curtains so the beam of light fell straight into his eyes. "F*** shit."
He became annoyed right after he woke up and kicked the blanket off his bed. "I can't even have a good nap peacefully after more than two decades!!!"
Suddenly, his eyes met his reflection in the mirror and made him astonished. The colour of his eyes changed and also the colour of his eyebrow, hair and also his eyelashes changed. "Well, f***. I look like Elerous now. Everything is so damn white and silver."
Hah…
He stood and noticed his height also changed. His body muscles, his face and even his look had changed. He was the perfect replica of Elerous.
"People are going to see me as a stranger now."
He took out everyone's record except for Adonis' and rewrote his appearance. "This will be better now. I even changed the record of Neul's family. Or ijin will make things worse."
He put those books back in his library and said, "Adonis. Prepare my bath. It's almost 8 am."
Adonis came inside his room and saw the new face of his master. Then he said, "Master. It's your actual appearance. What happened?"
"It's been a while, Adonis."
"It's been only a night, master."
"Hahah. Yes, it's been a night for you but a long time for me."
Now, I want to eat a bucket full of chicken fries. I'm so damn hungry.
Adonis had to change Viktor's photos from his ID card and also from the college ID photo because Viktor changed into a new person in just a night. He knew he was busy inside his library, but the sudden change in his appearance made him think about how much time he had spent.
After Viktor finished his meal, Rae and Welis dragged him back to lame college life and made him attain all the classes. He became more exhausted.
The classes were finally over.
"Rae, can you head out first? I want to walk around a bit."
Viktor asked for both of them to go home first because it's been a while since he saw the outside world.
"Okay then. Let's go, Welis."
The car left the college entrance leaving Viktor alone. But then, "Viktor, can I talk to you for a second?"
Viktor turned around and saw Ijin and Baek Suk asking for him to have a little chat.
Now what-_-.
"What do you want to talk about? I'm a little busy today."
Baek grabbed Ijin's arm to make him listen so he again said, "Don't worry, it will take only a few minutes."
Viktor suddenly craved for some spicy chicken fry so he invited both of them to the nearest street restaurant.
The fries were ready. "So what do you want to talk about"
Viktor asked Baek.
He hesitated a little at first then he made up his mind and said, "Are you from 'dream clan'?"
"I don't know anything about that clan so I'm sure I'm not from there."
"T..Then how do you know how to cast dream spells?"
Viktor took a glance at his record and saw what kind of clan was the dream. And he found out they are known as dreamers who know how to access people's dreams and minds indirectly. But they don't know how to read one's mind so they just add fuel to the fire.
That's a pretty powerful clan but it's not even near to my mind manipulation spells.
"The one I know isn't a dream spell. I can guarantee you."
"Then..how did you mess up with my mind?"
"Sorry, but it's a family secret and I can't tell anyone how to cast spells. Can I?"
Viktor frowned a little and again said, "Did you ask me to spare some time so that you can interview me?"
Ijin made his talk into a joke and said, "Hhahaha!! What are you saying, man! We're here enjoying some time as friends. Why are you so sensitive, Viktor? Let's order some more!"
I know Baek has so many questions in his mind but sadly, answering them won't fix his problems. He lost his mother because of a dreamer hybrid but my answers aren't going to help him get his revenge.
Moreover, this dreamers clan is a secret clan that only walks around the deep market. They don't come up and most of the time, they work as paid assassins.
So even if he succeeded in capturing the killer of his mother, he won't have anything to say because there was someone on the back who paid him to kill her.
The dream clan is the clan of paid assassins. So it's best for him to stay away from that clan unless he wanted to have a nice clean death and fell asleep inside his never-ending happy dream.
