Nameless King

When Wain made sure there were no more monsters around, he closed his eyes and concentrated on finding the spatial rift. When Wain felt the energy fluctuations, he headed in their direction.

Suddenly, however, the book monster attacked him again. Wain did not expect this attack, as it jumped from the ceiling, which nothing illuminated.

Wain did not immediately notice his enemy, but that did not stop him from slicing the monster in a few moves and turning it into icy wreckage.

The blue soul flew into Wain's body.

[Soul of Book Eater (Whole)

Chronicle: Primary

Ration: Rare]

To his surprise, it was a Whole Soul. Wain immediately crushed it and saw several messages in front of him.

[You have acquired the Soul Essence of Book Eater level 13. Agility+2, Vitality+2, Energy+1]

Even though the message said that Agility Wain's had been increased by 2 points, due to the limitations, it wasn't. But, in addition to the increase in stats, Wain saw another message.

[You have received a Rare Rating Skill Book]

Wain smiled contentedly. He didn't expect that he would get a Skill Book from the last monster he killed in this room. Any skill could have made him stronger, and it would increase his abilities. At the moment, however, Wain wanted a passive skill more than an active one.

Of course, Wain had one more slot free for an active skill. He was happy with his current set of active skills and soul skills. But Wain didn't think he could get a skill powerful enough to put it in his Soul Altar now.

Wain could not waste his energy on skills that were not very useful or not very powerful. It was stupid and impractical. So, at the moment, he was more interested in having as many passive skills.

Wain put his palm on the book, and hundreds of symbols headed for his glabella in the next moment. Within seconds he had all the knowledge he needed to possess the skill.

However, when Wain read the skill description, he was puzzled and even disappointed.

[Speed Reading (Primary Chronicle Passive Skill, Rare Rating)

Books hold a great deal of information and useful data. Many creatures learn by reading various books and learning new and unusual things.

However, it takes quite a long time to read a book. But, now you do not have such a problem. Your reading speed is increased to one thousand words per minute. Also, it won't negatively affect your receptivity to information in any way]

'Damn, I could have gotten some kind of amplification, armored skin, incredible vision or hearing, but instead, I got the ability to read fast?! This is garbage...' Thought Wain and shook his head grudgingly.

The average adult's reading speed was two hundred words per minute. But, some people could far exceed that figure, up to five hundred or even six hundred words per minute. Such people possessed speed reading, and it was quite a rarity.

At this point, Wain's reading speed was five times the average, and it was incredible. But that wasn't at all what Wain wanted.

"Okay, that's a lot better than nothing. I might need some information in the future for sure, so this skill could save me some time. What's more, maybe when I improve it, this skill will become much more useful." Mumbled Wain and continued searching for the spatial rift.

A few steps later, he was standing in front of a massive closet with nothing but a wall behind it. However, when Wain reached forward, the closet and the wall behind him turned to ink.

Wain smiled and stepped confidently inside. It was not the first time he had seen ink. To him, it was no longer a sign of something dangerous.

On the contrary, the ink and the spatial rift were the most interesting and surprising places he could get into.

Like the last time, after Wain entered the ink, he found himself amid a vast dark space. In front of Wain was a door of ink with many large eyes on it.

Wain waited for a while. He expected the bone hands and the massive ancient gate to appear now. But, even after ten minutes, nothing happened.

Wain was puzzled. He thought that this time he would also have to head into the Purgatory zone to retrieve the necessary souls.

'Strange, but that doesn't change my plan. I can feel the energy vibrations coming from that door. Perhaps this time I will get into the Void?' Thought Wain and stepped forward. However, he wasn't heading for the ink door but for a wooden door not far from it.

He wanted to talk to Sven and also to find out what he could buy with all the souls he had. The last time Sven offered Wain just one thing, a special bomb, which could be more powerful with enough souls inserted in the cell than a nuclear bomb.

So Wain expected Sven to offer him something exciting and unusual. Likewise, Wain wanted to learn more from him about the Purgatory zones. Wain wasn't sure if Sven knew about these places, but he had to ask at least.

At this point, the Purgatory Zone was the most mysterious place he had ever been.

Click.

Wain opened the wooden door and found himself in a long passage that would take him some time to traverse.

'Good thing Sven gave me his amulet then. I wonder if he gives this amulet to every person lucky enough to get into his bar, or does he choose by some criteria?' Thought Wain and walked to the second door at the end of the aisle.

Click.

Wain pulled the door handle and found himself inside the bar. Everything there was exactly the same as before. A majestic and luxurious aura emanated from the place.

The interior was not pretentious but showed the status of the place. But the most valuable thing in the bar was the bartender, who stood behind the bar and rubbed a crystal glass, just like the last time.
