Chapter 474: The Library


    As I left the mediocre mansion, the darkness of the night covered my eyes and I couldn''t clearly see anything without the help of the shining light of the small moon tonight.


    And that just gave me another mission for these guys.


    "Try to find out a way to illuminate my city," I turned to Jack who presumably was listening to my words, "I don''t want to walk like that in my future city."


    "Sure, mydy has a point," he said and I didn''t know if he was convinced or not and I didn''t care.


    I was the sole ruler of this city, and soon to be the sole ruler of the entire world. My wishes were orders and I wouldn''t ept anything less than I imagined.


    As they led me towards the library building, I noticed that many old buildings I didn''t like were already gone.


    And that made me feel more content about it. I didn''t see my vige to be the one confined by the absurd rules of the system and the world as he loved to say, but to what I could reach and build upon.


    And frankly the entire valley and the river going in the middle was fit to be the city of mine.


    Not such a meager vige like this one.


    "What does mydy think?"


    As I reached the building they took five days toplete, I couldn''t say I was impressed. The building was big, I admit that, looking very spacious and grand. However itcked many things.


    For example it was made entirely out of wood with some ores used to hold such buildings as foundations. I didn''t like that. My library should be grander, more eye catchy, and of course more impressive.


    After all, it contained what I paid a hefty price to get Rare books and priceless knowledge.


    It alsocked having any levels more than two. Having such a building that was shrouded under the darkness of the night made me realize it would eventually be absorbed by that darkness.


    And another grander and majestic building would be built instead of course in the near future yet toe.


    "It''s not bad," I didn''t want to say something bad about something they did so much work for. Yet from their eerie silence and exchanged looks I realized they were disappointed.


    And they should be, as I was also disappointed.


    "Let''s go," I said to put an end to such an era where everything was looking so primitive and dull to me, "we have a lot of hard work to do."


    "This way, mydy," Jack cleared his throat and opened the wooden door to the inside of the library.


    And there I found some pleasant things like pale decorations and shining ores that managed to keep the entire building filled with lights.


    Yet it was a strange mix of different colors. My eyes picked literally every single color I could know.


    "These are shining ores we found at the back mines," Jack noticed my gaze and seemed to read part of my mind, "as we don''t have enough, I came up with the idea to put them in each section of the library to illuminate these sections."


    I nodded in understanding while my mind just picked an interesting idea. "In the future this will be renovated," I said, "but we still need something to remind us all the time of our humble beginnings. So I want to call the sections of the library by the colors they are being lit through right now."


    Jack''s eyes shone while his face slightly rxed as if he was pleased with my eptance of their work and not of my suggestion. "Excellent suggestion mydy, I''ll immediately apply it," he said and I doubted his enthusiasm to be rted to what I really said.


    "Alright, let''s get started," I didn''t dy and took out many books from my inventory, "here are the books I got from the city," I pointed to hundreds of books I just took out, "I have tens of thousands of books right now. You should start arranging them and putting them inside their sections."


    "This" the three exchanged nces before Jack added, "we might need extra help then."


    "You should be," I yawned, "I don''t have the entire night to stay with you guys. So I''ll leave the books in big stacks and you will have to go through it by yourselves."


    "That''s fine mydy," he said while I noticed his helplessness.


    However I didn''t care, after all I risked my neck to get those things and he had to show some appreciation for that.


    And so I moved around, scattered the books everywhere in the library before taking my leave after saying goodnight.


    "Ding Dong! Giving something precious to dull people won''t make them more intelligent or powerful."


    All of sudden and just as I was heading towards my mansion, my system finally decided to show his distasteful voice.


    "Wow, I thought you were dead."


    "Ding Dong! How can I be killed?"


    "Out of depression and frustration of course," Iughed as I enjoyed ying with this system. At the same time I tried to know more about his secretive disappearance.


    From the short experience I had with him, he never was silent except if he was doing something big something bad, and it seemed he just finished preparing for it.


    "Ding Dong! I was just busy, that''s all."


    "Tell me about it."


    "Ding Dong! You''ll know when time is right."


    I didn''t expect him to tell me anything, but from his answer I realized whatever he was nning to do wasn''t ready yet.


    And that was just good news for me. Like that I had more time to prepare and be ready for whatever he would throw at my face.


    "Good, I''ll go to sleep then," I yawned, "I have a big day tomorrow."


    "Ding Dong! I strongly advise you to reconsider."


    "What?"


    "Ding Dong! You shouldn''t let peasants have the knowledge of kings and queens!"


    "F*ck off! This is my city and my empire, and you are the only thing I woulde to destroy one day before ascending my throne!"


    "Ding Dong! But you need to be alive till that day."


    "I will, I promise you that."


    I wasn''t mad, in fact I wasughing and not caring about any of his mean words andments, or even dirty plots and schemes.


    To be honest during thest days of his silence, I felt like I lost a friend a very annoying one, but at least someone who reminded me of the life I once lived of my own home.


    "Good night dirty system, may your power cut you off one day."


    "Ding Dong! Ding Dong!"


    "Hahaha, how much I missed that!"
