Chapter 4: Primordial Life Body
An explanation about the realm appeared.
From 999 Spiritual Energy to 1000, there was a cumulative transformation in power—and Mateo could feel it clearly.
What he could do with it now... was turn it into fire.
Primordial Fire.
Even his physical body felt significantly stronger.
His Spiritual Energy was still increasing as well—just slightly slower than before. He wasn’t sure why. Perhaps his expectations had decreased.
Eventually, he arrived in front of the Royal Library.
It had a vast open courtyard.
There were quite a lot of people there—men and women, old and young, even children.
One person caught Mateo’s attention.
A boy with chestnut hair, who looked to be around fifteen years old.
His body emitted a green glow, with roots growing around him.
Several injured people were touching those roots, absorbing the green light into their bodies.
Their wounds began to heal rapidly.
Mateo felt like he had seen that boy somewhere before.
After thinking for a moment, he finally realized—
The boy was a movie actor who had recently become extremely popular.
If he wasn’t mistaken, his name was Kevin Baker.
That meant there were indeed many people from Earth here.
Perhaps those being healed were also Earthlings.
DING!

The flood of notifications left Mateo stunned once again.
A body-type talent... free𝑤ebnovel.com
He finally had one.
And it appeared just like that when he had desired it—after seeing the boy healing others.
It’s just that this time, it really drained his soul energy.
’Looks like I can already go on adventures and fight monsters,’ Mateo thought.
After all, he already had a technique.
Even if it wasn’t offensive, he still had Primordial Fire.
Was there any attack better than fire?
But Mateo wasn’t interested in doing that.
Instead, he stepped into the library courtyard to look around.
Aside from the countless books, there were also several open classes where an old teacher was teaching magic.
Mateo didn’t really understand what was being discussed.
Most of it revolved around mastering Codex Magica and Techniques—especially Codex Magica, which were said to be extremely important for those without exceptional innate talent, so they could still develop their own core strength.
People could choose Codex Magica in this library.
There was a large room filled with hundreds of thick books—apparently all Codex Magica.
However, they were all only D-Class Codex Magica.
There were smaller rooms containing C-Class and B-Class Codex Magica, but it seemed only certain individuals could enter them, under strict supervision by royal guards.
Mateo wasn’t sure if he needed any of that.
But after a moment, he shook his head.
He didn’t want to bother.
For now, he felt satisfied with this "game."
So, he decided to log out.
The moment he thought about it, his eyes opened back in the real world.
It felt like he had just taken a short nap.
But the memories of that world were vivid—far too real to be a dream.
"Mateo."
Jack immediately called out to him.
He was eating toasted bread layered with meat.
"How was it? Amazing, right? Which city did you spawn in?" he asked excitedly.
"This has to be a game," Mateo replied.
If it wasn’t a game, then how could there be a System?
And his power had even increased on its own.
"It’s not a game," Jack said. "It’s a game-like world—but it’s a real one."
Mateo didn’t feel like arguing.
He simply nodded.
"I think it was Cloud Valley Town... that’s what I heard."
"Oh... what a shame. We’re not in the same place."
"By the way, I met William—the one from the neighboring dorm."
"Really?"
"Yeah..." Mateo chose not to mention that William seemed to be in debt to Alex Johnson.
That was someone else’s personal matter. It wasn’t right to spread it unless it could help solve the problem.
"What about your talent? You got something amazing, right? Have you trained yet? Is it hard?" Jack fired off question after question.
Mateo wasn’t sure which one to answer first.
"I think... there’s still a lot I don’t understand," he finally said.
"Yeah, take it slow. You’ll figure it out eventually. By the way... are you planning to meet Alice again?"
"Alice..." Mateo didn’t know how to respond.
"Come on, you’re already dating. Even if it’s weird, you’ve got to try something."
"What am I supposed to do?" Mateo shook his head.
Just then, his phone buzzed.
A message.
From Alice.
"Damn!" Jack snatched the phone and opened it.
(Let’s have dinner tonight. I’ll pick you up. Wait in front of your dorm.)
Jack’s eyes widened.
Mateo quickly took the phone back and read it himself.
It was exactly as Jack said.
Mateo scratched his head.
He truly didn’t understand what was going on.
