Giving permission, Abid began his journey through the ancient texts. He knew the first challenge was understanding the languages. He remembered Elder Nardan's warnings about hallucinations and the errors in the fabric of the story, and that the Mind Stimulation ability would be crucial. He closed his eyes, focused his intellect (23) and his high wisdom (29), and spoke the super-German phrase he had learned to stimulate his powers. He felt a surge of energy, the Mind Stimulation ability unleashed, and a stream of knowledge surged into his mind. He immediately began to feel its side effects: a dull headache throbbing in his temples and a gradual numbness in his jaw. But his determination and resolve were stronger. He pushed himself to continue, for his purpose was loftier than these physical pains. With each volume he picked up, strange symbols and words took on clear meanings in his mind, as if they were his native language. He spent long days, which turned into weeks, immersed in research. He read history, philosophy, and the ancient myths of all the races in Seria. One day, while flipping through an ancient manuscript written in dragonskin, he came across repeated references to an entity called "The Scribe." These weren't mere whispers this time, but more explicit texts describing him as an "architect of reality" and "not a god, but a created entity from the real world." The manuscript explained that the entire world of Seria was "just a figment of his imagination." Abid felt profoundly astonished, for these words confirmed his deepest fears and philosophical questions. This was not just a narrator but a driving force, a being who structured everything they knew. This idea threatened the inhabitants' belief that they were "not tasked by God" and raised questions about morality and the meaning of good in a world that might as well have been written text.

Were his good deeds, his politeness, and his consideration for others merely roles written for him? This was a troubling question that threatened to shake the foundations of his morals and existence.

Abid continued his research, and in another volume, he found intricate ancient drawings. These were not just ordinary drawings but rather the "Star of Beginning" surrounded by incomprehensible symbols. The texts adjacent to these drawings indicated that the Star of Beginning was not just a celestial body, but rather a "focal point of supernatural energy" and "possibly linked to the beginning of existence itself." These drawings whispered that the star was more than just the "Eye of the Scribe" or the "first spark of life," as his clan's mythology held. Threads began to connect in his mind: the Scribe and the Star were inextricably linked in their origins.

As this information accumulated, Abid felt that theoretical knowledge was no longer sufficient. He needed physical evidence. On one of the old maps he found in a thick volume, he discovered clear references to the locations of "Ruined Settlement" and "Ruined Shrine," places that might hold more clues about the Scribe and the Star. These maps, which indicated the ruins of a shrine and ancient settlements, gave him a concrete destination to continue his research.

This was the crucial moment. He could no longer remain in the comfort of the library. It was time to move from theoretical study to field exploration. He looked at Elrius, the librarian, who was following him with a wise gaze. "I have found enough clues, Sage," said Abid. "Now it is time to find evidence in our world."

Elrius nodded. "I wish you well, Seeker. Remember, great questions often lead to greater dangers."
