《Throne of World》Ch 5 | First Mission
Advertisement
At 9 am, Alexander was at the school administration office. He came here today to apply for off-dormitory living, so that he can live outside his dorm room.
While he was exiting the office, he suddenly heard another system prompt notification.
[ Today's Mission: Since your physical body isn't fit and will require some time to adjust for strengthening. Start filling your brain with data so as to defeat everyone and become an overlord. ]
[ Mission Description: Read at least 5 books before 9 am tomorrow on the topic of human medicine. Time allotted 24 hours. ]
Alexander heard the prompt and nodded. This system is quite reasonable, since I can't strengthen my body, let's just strengthen my brain.
But before that, I need to find a place to live… I'll just use the forest cottage for the time being and after I earn some money, I'll just take a flat in the city.
Yeah! That will be ok!
After Alexander thought and made his decision, he first went to his dorm and collected everything that belonged to him.
There wasn't much for him to take along. He only owns a high-end laptop that was a gift from a friend and a couple of t-shirts that he wears during college. He didn't own any book or any other study materials, since he rarely studies.
After packing his luggage, Alexander went towards the forest cottage. This world is relatively still young and green as there are quite a few forests everywhere. Even in a city such as New Delhi that was heavily polluted in my world, but here, there is a forest and that forest covers quite a large area.
Upon reaching the area, Alexander found the registration office and paid the rent, that was quite cheap. He was assigned cottage number 2.

He settled everything in the cottage and then directly rushed to the library to read there and borrow a few books.
The library was still like dormitory and cafeteria but there were a few bookworm students that were still in the library.
Since it was still a holiday, it was quite easy to find a place to sit. Alexander directly chose the corner most seat and went to shelves to collect a few books that he intends to read in these 24 hours.
He directly grabbed some basic medical books like :
Basics of Human Anatomy, Human Nervous System, Simple Drugs and Their Uses, Human Body Functions, etc.
In total, he grabbed about 7 books and went to his desired seat.
When he reached the seat he found that the seat opposite to his was also occupied by someone and that person went to find books too. He didn't think much and sat down to engulf the knowledge in these books.
Hah! Whoever is in the library at this time of the year, it's not like they'll talk to me!
When he opened the book of Human Body Function and medicine, he found that there were a lot of things that he can't understand at all. That's because he does not have any background in biology.
However, his determination and scholar's brain slowly started to assimilate all the information inside the book page by page…
1 page
4 page
9 page
21 page
….
In about 2 hours he completely finished his first books which didn't have many pages.
This body of mine isn't suited to do anything! His did the previous owner live till that day!
Earlier he used to study for continuously 8-9 hours straight without a bit of fatigue, but just after 2 hours, he's feeling sleepy.
He lifted his head and found that the seat in front of him was occupied by a beautiful girl!

Hah! I didn't think that a beautiful girl will be sitting right across me! Let's leave it for now and start reading.
His introvert and cold nature acted yet again and he picked up the book on basic human anatomy to read and dipped his head.
On the other hand, the beautiful girl saw everything and her mouth twitched a bit but in a fraction of a second she returned to her previous state and started reading the basic chemistry book that she has been holding for about 2 hours and still not reached the midpoint of the book.

Short Stories
So these are just a few, very short, stories that I just had to write. They tend to focus on different things, as and when they come to me. They'll most likely be fantasy, and not very long. At all. Honestly, I'm putting them up here so they don't just sit on my hard drive. Kind of sad to think of imagination unshared. Edit: If you could provide some feedback on what you read, I would appreciate it. I do just post these here, and will continue (as and when) to do so.Thank you.
