234: Transmigration: I Will Rule This World! Part 2

Transmigration: I Will Rule This World! Part 2

I chuckled to myself after reading the synopsis. I really wondered where this person got the idea for such a stupid novel. But nevertheless, I still began reading it.  1

'I lived a life of hardships of training every day, wanting to better myself and make a name for myself. I wanted to live a life of luxury and have many wives at my side. But the hardships of reality were different from what I expected. No matter how hard I worked, to gain the merit points needed to rise through the ranks was not easy.  I was not even close to becoming a baron just yet.

'But all that changed on that fated day…. I woke up in a dark place with a small window where I could see hooded people. They were screaming something about how it worked. But what shocked me the most was that I seemed to be in some kind of container. A loud mechanical sound was heard as the container I was in suddenly split in half, and the part with the window lifted up. I was in a bit of a daze because I felt no magic coming from the device. 

'As I slowly stepped, the men in cloaks began to tremble under my god like presence….' 

"Pfft! Hahahahahahaha! What is this!?" I couldn't help but burst out laughing. It was so stupid that I couldn't help myself, but at the same time, I still wanted to read more! 

'It was then and there that I realized. If they were trembling from my presence like this, couldn't I easily take this world over!? My eyes shined with this thought. And right then and there, I decided I would become the ruler of this world. To hell with lording over a small plot of land when I can have an entire world! 

' I ignored the men in cloaks and made my way outside. Each person I passed dropped to their knees in reverence…..' 

"Hahahaha! I can't! This book is too much." I wiped the tears from my eyes. This was just…. I could tell the person was male who wrote this. Furthermore, they seemed to have some hidden passion for wanting to rule the world. But since they are weak and without merit, they can only write about it in a fantasy story. But still… this kind of book.

"Ahem…. You looked like you were having fun…." Adel's voice entered my ears as I raised my head and looked at the five girls that were looking back at me with big grins on their faces causing me to blush. Trying to hide my embarrassment, I asked:  "What!? ...."

"Nothing. It is just the first time I saw you act in such a way on something other than magic. It makes my Faith look very cute." Adel replied teasingly. I couldn't help but purse my lips and close the book in my hands. I stood up and walked off while hugging the book. I could hear giggling coming from behind me. "Such bullies!" 

I went back and put the novel back on its shelf. I then grabbed another book. This one was titled: "The beauty and the robot." My brow suddenly wrinkled. What kind of name is that!?  Did this person come from Earth? Sighing, I began reading the synopsis but soon blushed and put the book back on the shelf. "Naughty…." 

I scanned the books and found a few that seemed interesting. I brought them back under the watchful eyes of my companions. I am unsure if they were having more fun watching me or reading the books that looked to still be closed in their hands. In the end, I just ignored them and giggled and laughed as I read these supposed fantasy novels. 

To tell the truth, only one of them was quite good. It was more of a science fiction style novel than anything and portrayed a more advanced civilization from Earth. It was only that book that I really got into and began reading quietly. 

I had no idea how many hours passed, but I slowly closed the book in my hands, feeling refreshed. How long has it been since I read a good book? I don't know, but I do know now that this book was very enjoyable. I hope I can find more of them as time passes. Because I am determined to read everything here, or at least try to read them.

"Done?" Sophie asked. I looked up at her and gave her a satisfied smile as I nodded my head. "Mmm… Let's go." 

We all walked back down the stairs and to the desk where the young woman was still sitting there reading. I did not wish to disturb her, so I reached over and grabbed the ledger from her so that we could all sign out. After signing my name, I waved goodbye to her and turned, and walked out of the library. 

When we reached the academy gates, David was waiting for the other knights. I held out my hands to him, and he put them in cuffs once more. "You were in there longer than I expected," David spoke up as we climbed into the carriage.

"I got caught up in reading a book. I do apologize. I will be sure to let you know these things from now on." I felt bad because he had to stand outside the academy and wait for me.

"It's fine. Grace came out and kept me updated." David replied, causing me to look at Grace. 

"It is my duty to help you without being asked. I would not be able to call myself your servant if I was unable to do such a simple task." Grace explained. Although grateful, I couldn't help but frown slightly at her words. She was so adamant about this servant-master thing.

I sighed and smiled at her as I said: "Thank you. When I read books I lose myself within the story and lose track of time."
