Vast
The Adventurers' Guild library was far more vast than I had anticipated. High ceilings stretched overhead, and countless bookshelves spread out like a maze, housing a wide variety of documents—from ancient parchments to the latest adventure logs. The Guildmaster guided me, leading me to the section containing materials on Atlantis.
“...Here it is...” The Guildmaster stopped before one bookshelf. A sinister label reading “Forbidden Books” was affixed to it.
“...This shelf holds several documents concerning Atlantis... However, some may contain dangerous information... They must be handled with extreme caution...” He unlocked the shelf as he spoke.
Inside, ancient scrolls, stone tablets inscribed with enigmatic symbols, and metal plates engraved with strange diagrams were carefully stored.
I carefully examined each document. While many texts denied Atlantis' existence, some described its advanced science and technology, or its magical civilization. Particularly intriguing was a description suggesting the Atlantean civilization possessed some form of “spacetime transfer” technology.
“...Spacetime transfer... No way...” I gasped in surprise. I recalled that the information revealed by the sphere of light contained descriptions of distortions in time and space.
Seeing my reaction, the Guildmaster nodded. “...It seems so... Several texts record that the Atlantean civilization possessed technology to open doors to other dimensions... However, that technology was extremely dangerous and reportedly claimed many victims...”
“...Dangerous technology... But a message from the creator of this universe... And the symbol of Atlantis... These are all connected... Unraveling that technology might be the key to solving this mystery...” I murmured.
“...Mitam... Are you truly intent on this...?” The Guildmaster stared intently at my face. His eyes held a complex mix of emotions.
“...Yes... I want to unravel this mystery... The message from the creator of the universe... The secrets of Atlantis... And my power of immortality... Everything connects to this mystery... I will never give up until I reveal it all...” I declared with unwavering resolve.
After a moment of silence, the Guildmaster slowly nodded. “...Understood... I will support you... But be prepared for the dangers that come with it...”
His words filled me with gratitude and renewed determination. The journey to unravel the mysteries of Atlantis civilization and the secrets of the universe's creation... It has only just begun.
