Nameless King

"Nameless King...?" Wain muttered while in disbelief.

He supposed that the Dark Silhouette in the memories could be Nameless King or someone related to it, but he couldn't be sure of that without hard evidence. Now the puzzle began to form in his mind.

"Yes. Until recently, I wasn't entirely sure, but after what happened, I have no choice but to accept that you are heir to the Nameless King." Aurora said with a serious look.

Wain only nodded meaningfully. When he saw the first memory, he felt that the Dark Silhouette was more connected to him than anything else, so he finally found the answer to his question.

'Well, well, I am heir to the strongest a human and also the strongest being that was in the universe, but... who are the forms?' Wain inwardly muttered with a thoughtful look, 'I thought they might be the predecessors of my soul or something, but now I know who was before me, so it's impossible. Damn, there are still mysteries, even though I've already made considerable progress.'

"You don't seem particularly surprised." Aurora muttered as she stared at him.

"I had my own hunches, so that was one possibility. However, about this city, as well as Nameless King and Human World, I know next to nothing." Wain sighed.

"Well, in that case, I should tell you about it. What do you want to know first?" Aurora asked.

"What am I to you? The heir of the Nameless King? New hope for humanity or a guy you recently met?" Wain muttered while looking at the serene citizens.

"Heir." Aurora answered instantly, as she had no intention of hiding her attitude, "However, things can change. Being in the Third Chronicle, you were able to defeat an Arkan, a feat even higher than killing a Legend."

"Huh, that was actually pretty hard." Wain grinned as he looked at the statue, "Tell me more about Nameless King. However, I don't want to know about all his accomplishments. I'm more interested in how he died."

p Wain was stunned by the title of Nameless King, but even with all these incredible regalias, the fact that there was this statue in the center of town and that Wain was looking at it meant that even such a strong man died.

"Well..." Aurora muttered as she clenched her teeth, "That day was a real nightmare, but also a salvation for everyone. It's not the right place, follow me."

'She's pretty badly worried. Her loyalty to Nameless King is pretty high, that's good.' Wain muttered inwardly, nodded, and headed after Aurora.

They went down to the castle's lower floor and the main library in the entire kingdom. Only people with the right to do so could enter the castle, but the library was open to all. Thousands of people came here every day who wanted to learn more about magic and get better at it.

"Damn, what a lot of people here. Are you sure this place is better than the balcony with the beautiful view of the city?" Wain asked while looking at the line to enter the library.

"We're not going to stay here. It's a beginner's level, everyone who is in Primary Chronicle or First Chronicle comes here, so that's why it's so crowded."

Aurora entered the library through the main entrance. There were obviously no restrictions for her.

"What?! Why can't I get through?!" Suddenly there was a shout in line.

It was a girl with long blond hair, wearing a white dress and blue eyes. She gave an indignant look at the guard.

"Miss, I've already explained to you the reason. Your grades are not good enough for you to visit the library. Please return to your studies, get better at the basics, and come back. Those are the rules, I can't break them, you know that." The guard said in a calm voice as it was not the first time he had had to do so.

"But... Isn't the library necessary so that I can gain new knowledge!?" The girl wasn't about to back down.

"Hey, stop making a scene here." The guy said in a disgruntled voice that stood behind her, "If you're talentless, don't bother those who have talent."

"Aurora, what circus is this?" Wain asked as he pointed at them.

"Ahh, it's a common situation." Aurora turned around, "There are several academies in the kingdom where young people study. They have to score a certain grade to gain access to the library."

"Are you serious?" Wain stared at her with a confused look, "That sounds like a fucking unfunny joke. Grades? Are you training fighters or scientists?"

"What do you mean?" Aurora frowned, "This system has worked for decades. The best get more opportunities, while the rest of us, seeing that, strive for the same. It's called healthy competition."

"Well, maybe it would work if all you wanted to accomplish was grades, but grades are just a path to power, that's what you need, so it's not a system, it's total shit. I bet neither you nor that Dragon did that shit when you were young. You fought, you spilled blood, and that's why you got so strong. At least that's what I know since I've experienced it myself." Wain said with a calm look as his aura intensified.

Wain spoke quite loudly, so people noticed them. They were surprised since they didn't expect to see Aurora here, but what struck them even more, was the guy that spoke to her without respect.

"Pff, you can only criticize. How about offering something? Are you suggesting that we let everyone into the library without checks? In that case, the weak will get in the way of the strong. That's silly." Aurora waved her hand.

"Hmm..." Wain looked at the girl and smirked, "Since we both agree that strength is the ultimate path, why don't we check it out?"

"What...?" Aurora tilted her head.

"Let them fight."

"Are you sure? That breaks all the rules."

"Huh? Are you really afraid I'm going to be right?" Wain smirked.
