Chapter 39: System Evolution
Azkar was trying to pass these ten minutes, so he could leave this crazy library. He decided to pick a random book, and he did. Then, he opened the book.
"Seven Domains of Death. Is this real? Does this planet truly have a forbidden place? Let's see what these places are," he scanned the book using his eyes only because even without using his abilities, he still read books very quickly.
After reading the complete book, he understood what the book was saying. It's about seven forbidden places that no one can go, or even if they can go there, they will never return alive. Upon reading this, he decided to visit these places in the future. There is not much information about their location, so they remain unknown. Even if someone wants to go to one of the seven domains of death, they can't because it can only be accessed by some kind of jewel-like crystal. There is no information about this crystal in the book either.
[Large amount of information absorbed into the system database]
[You have obtained an uncountable amount of information]
[Evolution of the Infinite Code system has now begun]
[It will take 24 hours to evolve. During this period, the system will be offline]
[Physical materialization of the Infinite Code system will begin after the evolution process is complete]
"..."
Seeing the system prompt, he was excited because everything was going according to his plan. Now, he just had to wait for the evolution process to complete, and then he would begin his next plan.
Now that he had nothing to do here, he decided to exit the library. He had hardly spent 15 minutes in this place, and it's hard to believe that he was leaving with everything this place had to offer. Not only had he consumed a large amount of normal information, but he had also absorbed confidential information and lots of research data. Everything this empire had to offer, he gained in this short amount of time.
Now that everything here comes to an end and this empire has nothing that can interest him, it's time to leave. He decided to go to the Vampire Empire because he already has his baits, and using them, he can literally go to that place. Also, he has to upgrade the quality of his vampire bloodline.
{{Mr. Astrophel, are you sure you want to leave this library? Once you leave this place, you cannot visit it for at least 1 year.}}
Hearing this notification, he doubted his ears, but after thinking, it also made sense because once someone came to this place, they at least needed some time before they could return if the royal family allowed them. But this had nothing to do with him, and there was nothing in this library that could make him come back here again.
"Yes, I'm sure. Please teleport me outside," Azkar said. With particles of blue light, his body turned into particles, and he disappeared from the royal library, finding himself outside.
Now, this felt good to see because, no matter what, he was also getting tired of the library. It's not like it affected him much, but seeing everything normal and things not being bizarre like inside the library made him feel good.
Now, the only thing left was to say goodbye to King Rudas. For some reason, he wanted to meet Alena before leaving, but he dismissed the thought instantly because if he met this crazy princess again, it wouldn't be good for him.
=========
In the royal courtyard, amidst the garden, a teenage girl, the same age as Azkar, gazed at the moon in the sky, admiring its beauty. She wore a long dark blue dress, and her white hair cascaded down, reaching her ankles and flowing in smooth waves as she moved. Her face was stunning, with flawless white skin and a pair of jewel-like blue eyes, presenting an absolutely perfect beauty.
"My lady, Mr. Astrophel came out from the library," the maid servant said.
"What? He left the library?" Upon hearing this, Princess Alena thought, "Is he that weak, that he couldn't handle the soul pressure in the library? I'm sure my dad gave him 5 hours to use the library, but he came out so soon."
"Where is he right now, Maria?" she asked her shadow guardian.
"My lady, he is currently meeting with His Highness in the throne room. It must be that he's going to leave this empire soon because he requested something from the maids before deciding to meet His Highness," Maria explained the situation from Princess Alena's shadow.
"He's going to leave?" Upon hearing this, her heart skipped a beat, and she didn't know what she was feeling right now, but she would know in the future.
"Let's meet him before he goes. Tell me when he leaves the throne room. I have to apologize to him for my behavior. As a noble lady, I cannot behave like this," Princess Alena said while heading towards the royal palace gate.
Hearing Princess Alena's remark about the situation left Maria speechless because she never even dreamed that the princess could say something like this.
==========
"King Rudas was really a good person. Though he did ask me to go to the library again if I had some problems this time, because of this, he wanted to give me second-time access. It really took me a good amount of time to make him believe that I don't need to go for second-time. Only a crazy person will go there a second time," Azkar thought about it.
While he remembered telling the maid about taking care of his house because he was going outside of the empire. He is sure that Head Maid Ruby will take care of it. Also, this house is the only place in this world I consider my home, even if it was for a couple of days I stayed there.
"Mr. Astrophel, Princess Alena wants to meet you," Maid A said.
Hearing this, Azkar thought he must be hearing things, but before he could ignore the voice, he heard it again.
"Please, Mr. Astrophel, Princess Alena wants to meet you," Maid A repeated.
"Now, what does she want now?" he thought. But then he considered that he also wanted to meet her. So, he decided to meet her one last time before he left the empire. Also, she is not a bad person. Though there is a misunderstanding between him and her, there's nothing to hate each other for. After giving himself some counseling before meeting her, he decided to go.
"Okay," he said and agreed to meet her.
"Please, this way, Mr. Astrophel," Maid A said.
A while later, he came to the garden of the royal palace and saw Alena pretending to be calm, gazing at the moons as if she admired them. Seeing her behavior, Azkar got a bad feeling about this. Her imagination truly left him speechless many times.
"Hey, puffer fish, stop pretending," Azkar teased her playfully.
"I... I just—" Hearing Azkar, she stopped looking at the moons, and she wanted to say something, but she snapped out of it and processed what Azkar said to her.
"What did you say? You... you... I... I..." She was becoming red with anger.
"My lady, no, no, control yourself," Maria came out from her shadow to help her control her emotions.
Seeing her like this, Azkar thought, "Looks like I made a mistake. I did more than just teasing her. Is she going to be angry with me?"
"I'm sorry about earlier. I was just... I didn't want to hurt your feelings," Azkar told her the truth because he was really a dense person when it comes to talking to a girl and understanding their feelings. Upon awakening his innate abilities, this became even harder for him to understand.
"Maria, please leave us alone for a minute," Princess Alena said, understanding what Azkar said, and she decided to apologize too.
"I also apologize for my behavior. It was a misunderstanding I had before. Now, I understand everything you did for this empire. I'm really grateful to you for this," Alena tried not to show too much emotion.
King Rudas loved Alena unconditionally because her mother passed away a very long time ago, and she was a person King Rudas loved so much. That's why King Rudas spoiled Alena to the point that everyone considered her crazy. Even so, she tried not to show any of her emotions in front of others because her mother was a royal maid. That's also why her stepbrothers and sisters didn't like her very much. Additionally, Alena's mother and Head Maid Ruby Snow were blood-related sisters, and that's why only Ruby understood her, and she helped Alena like her real mother.
"Don't worry about it; His Highness repaid the favor, so there's nothing to be grateful for. Also, as you already know, I'm not from this empire, and I'll leave this city in the morning," he decided to tell her.
"You're not going to come again?" she wanted to ask many things, but she understood that she had no right to ask anything from him because she had hardly met him days ago, and in this short time, this guy had left a big impact on her life.
"Of course, I'll come. What a silly thing to say; I bought a house just a couple of days ago," Azkar said while looking at her. She truly was beautiful, and the moonlight made her more attractive. Also, he wanted to ask why her hair was so long – it was so long that it reached her ankles – but he couldn't deny that it looked good on her.
Hearing this, her heart skipped a beat, and she wanted to say something but decided not to. She didn't know what to say next, so she didn't reply to him.
Azkar also didn't know what to say in this awkward moment, and as he saw her face turning red as a tomato, he thought she must be feeling cold. So, he broke the silence by saying, "You should go inside; it's not good to stay here. You'll catch a cold," Azkar said.
Hearing this, Princess Alena was left speechless because in this world, everyone has immunity towards this kind of problems. Also, she is an awakened person, so there is no way it's possible. But hearing his concerned voice, she decided not to say anything.
Maria, seeing everything from some distance, upon hearing Azkar's last sentence, also felt speechless and thought, "I'm just imagining things."
After talking for a couple of minutes, both of them left. Before Azkar decided to leave, he left a nano marking on her neck. It cannot be seen by anyone and will activate if she is in danger. It will kill the threat if it is Domain rank or lower. He didn't know why he did this, but he decided to do it without any specific reason.
Yes, Azkar has the ability to kill Domain rank experts easily, like chickens, because his Reality Negation Authority can now work on Domain rank experts due to his 1% water law comprehension.
