Those who have just come to this place will have the same reaction as Adis. And they went through that when they first arrived at the edge of the Lafias Continent.

A few moments later, they arrived at a fairly dilapidated house. The exterior floor had holes in it, the skirting boards creaked, and the worn front door made Adis uncomfortable.

"Do not be afraid. Even though it's like this, the person inside is someone who might answer your doubts. So don't hesitate."

 Randolf pushed Adis inside first. “I'll wait outside. Good luck"

“H-h-hey! Randolf!—”

However, before Adis wanted to go back out, his leg seemed to be pulled by something invisible. Even though no one pulled his leg at all except for a voice with a clear tone.

“Hmm? New lost traveler? Is there anything I can help you with, sir?”

“So—eh?!”

The origin of the sound was not human, as Randolf once said. In contrast, the figure in front of Adis resembles a human with the same physique, except for the head, which resembles a raccoon with grayish brown-black fur.

His ears are pointed, his snout is quite long, and there are three whiskers on the left and right sides of his face.

【Congrats! You have just encountered another key to the knowledge of the Astal World. Getting a small piece of Astal World information】

【Kraun, the Linguistic Master】A former great librarian in the fallen Royal Capital of Lavinus. His curiosity about knowledge never subsided. Apart from being a worshiper of the Goddess of Fertility and the God of Wisdom, he is a neat trader who trades in knowledge about astral phenomena, the magic of rulers, and the latest information related to the development of the Astal World.

【Thanks to your blessing as Friend of the Starless Child, Kraun was interested in you】

【Thanks to your blessing as Friend of the Starless Child, Kraun's affection towards you increased “Slightly”】

【The item selection option is opening. Fragments of the Astal World enter your subconscious library. The distribution status regarding astral phenomena and matters related to miracles through blessings has been stored and flows around your heart. Added knowledge status to your status】

A notification panel appeared with an exclamation mark in front of Adis. After that, the panel opens itself and displays the status of the fresh addition.

【Status】
Strength: 6
Agility: 4
Endurance:4
Intelligence: 1
【Distribution Points: 2】

On the other hand, Kraun, who was watching Adis, was a little surprised because he saw something unique around the young man. Then the former librarian put the book he was reading on the table.

“It seems like I have quite a special guest today. Before I introduce myself, I am Kraun, the owner of a knowledge shop at the end of this continent. Those who come to this place always call me the Bookworm. However, you can just call me Kraun.”

The librarian gave Adis a warm smile. The young man, who had still not recovered from his shock at the notification panel that suddenly appeared, immediately woke up when he heard Kraun's voice echoing in his ears.

“A-ahh... sorry. I was daydreaming. Y-you…”

“It seems this is your first experience seeing The Manas’ child, yes?”

“The Manas? You mean one ruler too, right?”

Kraun chuckled slightly at Adis's innocent answer.

"Correct. Maybe this is a little impolite, but may I ask you something? Of course not for free. In return you can ask me something too.”

Adis nodded slowly. "Of course"

“Bravo! Thank you, lost traveler, even though it may be impolite. Seeing you here has never failed to ignite a sense of knowledge in my head. So let's get straight to the question....”

Adis could only drink his own saliva.

"Calm. It's not difficult.”

Even though it was like that, Adis was still a little nervous because a mysterious question that emerged from a creature with the head of a raccoon immediately confronted him. Even though his appearance was neat like a nobleman, the raccoon's head still made Adis unable to calm down.

Kraun cleared his throat slowly to clear his throat. “Have you ever met the Bringer of Good News and Destruction, The Child?”

Adis nodded slowly. “Less…more, yeah”

“Hmm. Interesting. I already understand the rest. Thank you for your kindness in allowing me to ask clearly. Do you want to ask something?”

"How do you know?"

"Ha ha ha ha. If that's the person who suggested you come here, it's definitely not just sitting back and enjoying reading a book, right?”

"So?"

"Okay. Just say it, don't hesitate."

"In that case, okay ...."

Adis began to tell Kraun everything, but not everything that happened to him, but only revolved around the blessings he received from Pandora.

“Hooo~ amazing, this makes me excited! It's been a long time since I received information like this. Wait a moment, I'll be right back”

“Eh?”

Not long after, Kraun came from behind the counter curtain and placed two books on the table in front of Adis.

"The first is the history of the blessings of the rulers and the second is the application, how to use, and mastery and the side effects of the blessings."

"What is this for?"

“Of course, to tell you all about the blessings and how to make use of them.”

Kraun then nuzzled the first book towards Adis.

“I recommend that you read the first book first. I will lend it to you for one day. After that, please return the book. If you are interested and want to study it more deeply, this second book can be a guide. You can get it just by paying five void souls," said Kraun kindly with a business smile.

【Void soul is the term for an ordinary soul in the Astal World. However, void souls are also commonly known as Voils. The ratio of White Soul and Voils is one to two. That means if you intend to exchange White Soul for Voil, then you will get two Voils】

Once again, the panel appeared suddenly, but thanks to the appearance of the panel, Adis also gained new knowledge about the Astal World. And one of them is an exchange comparison between White Soul and Voil.

"Because discussing it will take a long time and maybe my memory is lacking, this book can be an absolute medium for that knowledge. Please read carefully so that you don't fall into soul slavery and become despicable creatures like the children of The Plague and Abbysmal.”

This time Kraun's expression was not like someone who had met for the first time. However, the look on his face showed deep concern for Adis's safety.

To prevent undesirable things from happening, he offered Adis a book of knowledge about blessings.

"Okay"

"Yes. I hope the next opportunity will be an even more amazing meeting. Nice to meet you... sorry?”

"Adis," he answered briefly, with a slight smile.

“Ahaha. It was so deep, I forgot to ask your name. "Then see you again another time, Mr. Adis"

"Yes."

Adis took the first book and then left Kraun's place.
