Chapter 88: Game Master


The royal library is actually open to the public, provided that its visitors have an exclusive pass given after a long and complicated registration process. However, fortunately for Ava who is now transformed into a royal princess, she has free access in and out of the four-story building whose splendor is visible from the glass garden. He was even allowed to enter a special room containing rare and old books.


From there, Ava found a stack of books that would be very useful to understand more about this fantasy dimension, especially regarding the topic of [System], specifically Game Master and Developer.


[Systems] that have emerged since the time of the creation of the earth help humanity to develop and improve its standard of living through the benefits that are brought with it. The content of [System] itself is governed by [Game master] in accordance with the requirements and approvals as well as under the supervision of [Developer].


In other words, a system similar to the game in its original world, is now a source of religion and religiosity in this place. Because in his reading, Game master is considered a god.


Skill has two paths to go in order to obtain it, first from oneself, one must have an outward talent to manifest their abilities in the status window, then individuals can also do learning and routine exercises until they master a skill that can be used. The second path is an outside factor. If one was lucky, they could obtain skill scrolls from the rewards they had obtained in the subjugation gate. In addition, skills can be provided by the game master who has the power to organize the content of the [System], the, in other words, the more individuals favored by the game master, the greater their chance to be awarded a skill. Because of this, many churches were established to worship the game masters whom they considered to be gods. For example, Selena, the church she followed, embraced the teachings of the Goddess of Holy Light, Theia, so that the sacred power of the woman can be applied in her miraculous healing skills.


Ava basically studied fantasy theology.


And the books about the gods and their myths can be found in the royal library, because outside the place it will be very difficult to find them unless Ava visits their respective churches, it is still not necessarily he can touch the book that has been considered as the book.


However, even in the royal library that has almost all the books in the world, Ava did not find more explanation about the developer. Isn't this Developer the same as a Great God if the Game Master is already considered a god? But the literacy of their existence is almost non-existent, only a brief snippet in the narrative of the book he finds. So their existence is still unclear.


The girl stretched after hours just sitting and reading a book, her back and butt ached, fortunately she also refused to use the corset this morning.


But had not been able to clear his table from the book he was going to borrow, a familiar figure approached Ava. His sturdy and gallant body even shaded the tiny body of the girl from behind, along with declaring the book.


"Daughter Eve, I-I asked for your time to speak privately."


Eve's fiancee.


Ava turned around, face to face with a face she could not forget from her old friend. He automatically snarls. "Duke Frost," Ava's been avoiding the man for weeks, but upset that he's the reason Ava's here right now, the girl refuses to waver because of the shadow of her past, Alex.


But as a princess, Ava must immediately resolve Eve's issue with Ellijah. He could no longer ignore a Duke just because of his feelings.
