Chapter 28 Quest Completed

After about ten seconds, he couldn't restrain himself anymore as he sneezed into the wisp helmet.

He opened his eyes a bit afraid, that someone might have seen him sneezing inside the-wisp helmet when he noticed something floating mid-air in front of him.

His eyes focused on the system panel, as something unbelievable happened.

[Your efforts have been useful the system now permits you to gain more knowledge]

With his mouth agape in shock, Bernard stared at the floating panel in front of him.

He was surprised, not only because of what was written in the panel but also because of next the notification that appeared in front of him.

[Quest completed]

[50 Exp Earned]

[55/100 Exp]

Deep inside his heart, he had the urge to test if reading more books would give him Exp, and just like that the idea wouldn't leave his mind almost as if he had become obsessed.

Turning around he started to obsessively search for the books he had read, as he tried to remember every detail of the last shelve he came across.

Once he arrived at the glass shelve where he saw the book titled "The vampire cat", he could only make further progress by flipping the books on the shelve.

Bernard had no idea how it worked and had found no way through guessing. But he knew if he could find the book, it would definitely help him in finding out how.

He continuously flickers through the books, reading their titles and first pages. His mind ran back and forth as he tried to remember what the book looked like.

After a few seconds of guessing, he finally remembered it had two red eyes as the front cover. With this Bernard had a much better idea of what he was searching for.

'Unless it is all a coincidence, finding that book is the only means to earn more Exp points.

'Hopefully, by the time am done I would see it.'

Eventually, Bernard finished reading the last book on the shelf and had to stop.

At this point, he had already read every book on the shelve like the back of his palm, and there wasn't much to see. Yet, he stared at the shelf with a flustered expression.

He had no idea how the book he had dropped a few minutes ago disappeared, it was a hard thing to believe and it scared him.

Except, it was a crazy coincidence he was sure no one would definitely have come there immediately after he left. He was beginning to have paranoia, thinking about it.

Bernard looked at the shelve seemingly confused, before flipping through the books again just to be sure he wasn't missing a thing.

He stared at the place in deep thoughts, in the end, his final conclusion was someone must have taken the book, otherwise, it would be too crazy for a book to suddenly disappear out of the blue.

After adjusting his mind, Bernard now had two thoughts running through his mind. Among the thoughts in his mind, he felt the system was only rewarding for reading so many books.

However, the second reason which was running through his mind was the kind of thought that never goes away, and was always lurking to instill fear.

What if Mr meow meow was somehow related to a vampire cat? And the reason why it had shown interest in being his symbiote beast was to suck his blood?

Even though Bernard didn't want to believe it, it was something he could not help having such thoughts about, however, he also noticed despite how popular symbiote beasts were, there haven't been any revelation of symbiote beasts that survive through sucking the blood of their user.

The only thing he could relate such a hypothesis with was a mere fantasy, eventually, Bernard decided to stop searching he was inclined to believe the system just rewarded him for browsing through books for the first time.

After all, it didn't seem like he was going to find anything, so he decided to go meet Emelia.

When he arrived, Bernard realized she was nowhere to be found shifting his eyes to the big wall clock at the entrance of the library, it finally dawn on him how much time he had spent holing himself like some caveman.

He had been so engrossed in reading, that even though the time was flying away, it had never occurred to him.

Apparently, the system was just rewarding him for being a good boy, this was his final thought.

Even though it would be said he own a system, he knew even with that he wasn't really the one in control, on the contrary, the system seemed like it was just there monitoring his life and would only give him Exp when he does something extremely good and to its creator liking.

However, this event was meaningful for two reasons the first was Bernard noticing the system wanted him to improve by giving him Exp, he realized this when he discovered each exp point he gets makes him slightly overpowered, and he had only felt this way a few times.

Now it was different, it wasn't just making him feel overpowered but also a sense of accomplishment. The only downside of all of this was, that he felt the system was leading him by the nose.

Beneath, all of his feelings were fear for the future, filled with uncertainty. Needless to say, while he couldn't wait to see what would happen when he finally reached the system milestone.

He didn't believe the system would give him something for free just like that, without wanting something in return.
