"I have permission to not attend classes," Malaya said. "However, I didn't expect the matters I needed to attend will be finished before my one-month leave is over. That is why for the rest of my remaining days of leave of absence, I just plan to stay in the library," she explained.

"Will that be alright, Senior?" Malaya asked nonchalantly.

'Marina?' Seeing her last name made Elred's elegant brows furrowed even more. 'As far as I know, after those Marinas, there was now only one Marina studying in the academy and she had quite the notorious reputation.

He observed the girl in front of her, she was indeed belonging to that family with that striking hair and eyes of hers. But she looked like nothing of that rumors either with that calm demeanor of hers.

In his intense stare, Malaya couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. "Ehem!" she coughed to distract the attention of the gorgeous elf in front of her. "Can I enter the library now, Senior?"

"Ah, yes," Elred said as he gave back the card of Malaya, not the very least flustered that he was staring at her. He then sidestepped for Malaya to walked inside. 

"Thank you, Senior," Malaya received her card. She courtesied and entered the library without looking back at Elred.

As soon as Malaya entered, her eyes sparkled. No matter how many times she went here too, it was really a haven for any book nerds. Towering shelves containing thousands of books were displayed. And it was up to a tenth floor, making it the largest library on the continent. There were a few people around but none of them paid attention to her and focused on their worlds. She started to walk now to her agenda for today.

Seeing Iris the other day and confirming that she was indeed the author of the world, there was something she wanted to see here. A flying book with small white wings and glowing with faint gold light came to her and open its pages towards her.

On the blank pages, words started to appear. 

{What book are you looking for?}

"World History," With that said from Malaya, the words from the book started to morphed again. 

{Third floor, left-wing, section XIV'}

A light suddenly started to engulfed Malaya that came from the book, and the next thing she knew, she was now on the third floor, more particularly she was now sitting on a chair and table. The flying book from before was now bringing her books containing the World History.

This magic was truly one of her favorites here in the library. Very convenient and less time-consuming to go on looking for these thousands of books. Malaya began skimming now to the books that the flying book put on her table until she finally stop on an old huge and thick book. 

'History of Illahayah's Creation,'

"This is the book, I'm looking for," Malaya exclaimed and with that, the flying book started to stop putting books and instead do the vice versa, returning the other books back to their previous shelves.

Malaya began flipping through the pages of the book. It's been a long time now since she had read this, so for now she wanted to confirm something to see if her memory was right. The history that this book contains was more like a tale of a legend with really no concrete shreds of evidence. Since no one got really past the red current and explore the world.

The Ancient God created a world in which all species could coexist. It was a world similar to a paradise where no one suffered. Nevertheless, since life was so easy for all living creatures, greed and idealism began to engulf them. They took for granted the excellent life they had and even wished to be gods themselves and thus,

Endless chaos and conflict began to develop, shrouding the entire world into complete pandemonium.

The Ancient God was greatly wallowed by pain and sorrow seeing her beloved children destroying each other and the world he created for them.

Thus, came the decision. He destroyed the world to recreate a new one. 

His heart was torn into pieces as he destroyed everything he created and mold for a thousand years. He was shrouded with pain and regret that if only he became more of a proper god to everyone, this would not end like this.

To the world he recreated, he used his whole body parts to make the landmasses. His blood became the streams and ocean and his two eyes, the right one that has a golden color became the sun and the second one with a silver color became the moon and his beautiful strands of dark hair that was glittering became the night skies. And with his last breath, new gods and goddesses were born to govern the new world he created.

With this, the new world was recreated and the old one became known as the Ancient World.

Malaya's eyes narrowed. 'As expected, this one is completely different to the world history that was told in the classes and also to the Fate of the Stars.'

She then put the book down on the table and stretched both of her arms. 'Iris, as a very curious reader of your book, I had a lot of questions for you. And I have a hunch we'll see each other again soon.'

---⚓⚓⚓---

Back at her new room, after spending a lot more reading in the library, Malaya just stare blankly at the white ceiling of her room while already lying on her bed.

'Tomorrow will be my Condemnation Event, the day where both will become the end and beginning for me," Malaya started to closed her eyes to sleep. 'Somehow, it was sinking to me now that it was already more than four years since I came here.' 

Her heart was somehow beating fast.. Whether this was a feeling of dread or excitement for one of the main events that would occur in her life tomorrow, she couldn't really point it out, until her consciousness finally drifted to the dreamland.
