Magic
Before I sat down, a thought struck me.
I didn't know the language which these books got written, in fact I didn't know what language I was speaking.
The sage spoke in my head.
(you don't have to worry about that, you can understand and speak every language in this world)
(How can I do that?)
(Well, that's an inbuilt skill for some reincarnations like you?)
That's exceptional… I wish I had some crazy powers too ….well now, to get into my business.
I took the books and read the titles.
<
Well, by now I got used to these system noises..... I mean voice and notifications in my head.
I often forget there is someone in my head is listening to these thoughts.
.....
The three books were about World Geography, Myths and Legends, and What is magic?.
This is the reason my dad didn't read these books. It was on stuff he wouldn't care about. He was an ex-military on my timeline, and after he retired he did farming, and he was the reason my brother changed into a military man and a muscle head.
In this world, too, he is still the same muscle head ; it seems.
First, I read the book on World Geography, which was written by Marco Polo, this guy who wrote this book was one of the first and greatest explorer in my world.
With magic, I am sure this guy found out a lot of things and recorded it in this book. I wonder how my grandpa got this?
The name of the book may sound boring but if you understand this and find a place to mine some important mineral or anything useful, BOOM!, you have struck gold.
I mean not 'gold' gold, may be that too, but we can find the other minerals which have immense value using that and also info on other lands, creatures, etc.
The book was comprehensive, so I read everything like I usually do. I read every crook and crannies; I memorized every map, creatures, beasts, kingdoms, and words, but this focused on only one continent and the continent was named trulyn.
It took me about an hour to understand them, read and memorize them all up.
Suddenly a notification popped up
<<5 exp gained>>

< What is happening?
Stat window, what's that?
It would be awesome if it is like game interface from my world.
(Yeah, it is like a game interface. You can view your information using that, just open it. Just think about opening it, it will come before you.)

Awesome ! It's just like game interface from my world.
I stared at the intelligence stat a bit.

Intelligence
Details:
It denotes the amount of intelligence present in the individual or acquired by the individual.
It is indirectly linked to the mana of an individual.
User:
5 intelligence (attained) + 1000 intelligence (acquired from prodigy title)
S***
Why did this title stick to me? I hated being called a prodigy, I never got to live as a normal person on the other world because of that.
Even though I liked learning and creating stuff, I never liked the attention I got from people. I wished to be a normal person living a normal life.
I must find a way to do that, to live a normal life, whatever it takes.
Let's get to the things at hand.
....
I analyzed everything and this part of the system was awesome, than the other part.
The title prodigy granted me +1000 intelligence, but the title of the second prince granted me nothing except for the rights to the kingdom.
The ability therianthropy was a myth grade ability with shape shifting powers, but I don't know what it truly does.
I left the part for another time and read the books, as I wanted a way to save my kingdom and its people.
Time passed away, so I started to read the other books.
The last two books were without any author names.
The second book was really awesome, actually it was a story book, it was the book on myths and legends.
Every story we have heard about abominable yeti, heroes, orcs, gnomes, dragons, big foot, Loch Ness, gargoyles, werewolves and other legends were written here.
At the end of the book, at the very last page a note was given,
I SEARCHED FOR ANSWERS FAR AND WIDE AND THESE STORIES ARE TRUE, I MET THEM .....
Once I started concentrating on something, I forgot everything around me, it was like time stood still for me.
I was so mesmerized by the note that I didn't notice the page was torn.
I am a man who always found ways to find answers to every question I had in my world.
And I started learning everything I could get my hands and answer every question in my head and if I ran out of questions I made some questions to find answers, it may sound stupid, but it was the thing which made me into a genius in my world.
After coming to this world, I was left with a gazillion unanswered questions and this sparked something in me, a fire which was dimming in my heart got brighter.
To find answers to my questions about this world, I must learn more.
When I found the note torn, anxiety and curiosity filled me up, I wanted to know what was written in it.
I was waiting to see whether the system was going to help me.
But no one answered, so I have to wait until I found an answer to this like the other questions, huh.
I read the book completely, but I still didn't get any exp like when I completed reading the first book.
I think it is probably because of the last torn page.
It had taken me 2 hours to read the book on myths and legends, as the stories were too good.
As I had nothing left to read on it, I left it and went for the next book.
It took about 3 hours to read the next book, as the book about magic was a little too complicated.
Once I completed reading the book, a notification popped up.
<<20 exp gained>>
< < < < < I felt power swelling up inside me.
I didn't know what to do.
(System what is going on?)
There was no answer.
I opened the stat window to understand what was going on.
(Open stats!)
It opened.
