He looked around the room, he could see everything that was there, down to the smallest speck of dust. Everything that was in the room was within his sight.
He focused on the bed, it was as if he could see through it and see everything that it was made up of. He saw the weak points of the bed, places that a single touch would cause the bed to deconstruct.
His smile got wider. If he had only learned a measly zero point one percent and this was the effect, he wondered what the entire book would be like.
[User is advised not to. User is currently too weak physically and mentally. User is risking near definite death if he reads the rest.]
Raze looked at the message; he frowned. If the system of the library went out of its way to message him outside the library, then it was a serious case.
"Fine, I'll train and get stronger, but for now this is great," he said. He turned off the eyes because it was getting too much for him.
He walked to his bed and immediately crashed. His body was completely exhausted.
[.....]
The next day, Raze was up and ready to go. He moved around, getting ready as fast as he could, and then he left the room.
He had just stepped out when he saw Elaine standing by his room. "I knew you would be in a rush this morning, young master," she said, giving a bow.
"Good morning, Elaine. Thank you for the food yesterday, it really helped," he said and started walking. She followed behind.
"Young master, you should try to come out more. Locking yourself inside for so long isn't good at all," she said.
"Well, we are leaving now, right? We are outside."
"That's because now you have something that you want to do, and I'm guessing it has to do with the road," she said.
"Yes, I have to finalize some things today because the rise has to commence tomorrow," he said.
"That's an awfully fast schedule," Ella spoke. She leaned on the wall just up ahead.
"Good morning, Lady Ella. Let's go," Raze said and walked by. She raised her brow. Him saying 'let's go' was a bit shocking, but she followed.
They left the house and headed into the town.
"Young master, what's the goal today?" Elaine asked.
"We need materials to make roads, and if I know well, there is surely a mountain, and maybe some interesting things to find," he said while smiling.
"You're smiling again," Elaine said.
"I know, because I can already imagine the changes that will come when everything is set in place. With a better road, there will be more people coming, meaning more and more business and more resources for me," he said.
"Sometimes I wonder how you make such beneficial selfish plans," Elaine said.
"It's a talent. I have to make people happy and comfortable to foster my own goal. No dictator has ever had a good rule. They always have the fear that someone is coming to get them.
I'd rather be better than that. Will it save me from all enemies? No, but I'd rather have the smallest I can have than a massive amount," he explained.
They left the town and headed into the forest. "Young master, the forest has wild beasts. We should be careful," Elaine said.
"I'm sure we can handle anything inside here," Ella said, looking at the forest.
"Yup, so let's go," he said and walked in. He whistled a tune as he walked, eyes darting around carefully as they went.
Squeeeelllll!
They had barely walked fifty meters in when a wild boar came rushing their way. It had black skin, over a meter tall, and half-a-foot-long tusks. It was definitely a killing machine.
"What's its problem?" Raze asked as he looked at it.
"I'll deal with it," Ella said. She pointed her palm at it. "Flame Bullet," she muttered.
Bam!
A compressed ball of fire shot out and slammed right into the head of the boar, killing it.
"That's weak," Raze muttered.
"I don't think that's the case, young master. Lady Ella is just skilled," Elaine said.
"Hmmmm, you think that's the case?" Raze asked.
"Well, yes, young master," Elaine said, not meeting his gaze.
"Hmmm, well, impressive either way," he said and kept walking.
"It's not as impressive as you, being able to silent cast," Ella said.
"Is silent casting that impressive?" Raze asked.
"Of course it is. Being able to use magic without spells not only makes you faster, it makes you capable of changing and transforming the spell, giving you a result that's better than the textbook one," she explained.
"Hmm, I see. And you want to learn it?" Raze asked.
"Definitely. That's why I stayed with you," she said.
"Alright, I'll teach you, but you'll have to do something for me first."
"What is that?" she asked eagerly.
"Alright, you and I will have magic spars. I need to get better," he said.
"That's all?" she asked.
"Yes, that's all."
"We have a deal then," she said, a soft smile on her face.
Raze focused back on what they were doing. They finally made it to the mountain. He looked at it with a smile.
"Now to find the perfect weak spot to work with," he muttered.
He used God's Eye. The information came flooding, but this time he started filtering fast. He still suffered some backlash, but he managed to focus before it got too hurtful.
He looked at the mountain. Every bit of information about it started flooding his mind. He saw the weak spots, but that wasn't all, he spotted ores hidden inside.
But all that paled in comparison to the cave he saw inside there. It was filled with different ores and crystals. Going deeper, he could see a being.
He couldn't tell exactly what it was, but there was something inside there. His curiosity immediately kicked in. He wanted to know what was in there, and also gather the ores.
