?


    "So that was it..." Ryan said, with a smile on his face.


    *


    When the group returned to Ryan''s new home, everything had changed. During the nearly three hours he had spent walking through the market, all of the girls from his harem had done a drastic cleaning and change in his apartment. Some of the old furniture had remained, but most of the apartment was decorated with new items that the girls had purchased from Lyza.


    "You guys set all this up?" Ryan said surprised, as he looked from one side of the apartment to the other.


    Loggo at the entrance of the house, there was a small potted nt made by Ellen. Near the window that lit up the living room was arger pot also made by her. In the main room was a kitchenplete with a new refrigerator and appliances, the set was ck, as were the couch and the living room tables.


    Ryan''s old television was reced with a new one. In the other room, boxes of his personal items were stored in the room that he nned to turn into an office. In the master bedroom, the girls prepared a bed that wasrger than Lyza''s, ideal for what was to happen in the future.


    "Sylvana prepared several quick transport scrolls, the ones that disappear when you use them once" Lyza said as she sat on the bed.


    "So you guys organized to buy furniture and send them here...who organized that?" Ryan said.


    "The idea came from Alice, but I bankrolled the whole thing. Consider it a gift for the level up I got" Lyza said, cing one of her hands on Ryan''s leg.


    The two moved closer together, until they began to kiss intensely. Then they debuted that bed with a party.


    * * *


    A week in the future.


    The trantion of the dwarf tool manual was flowing sessfully. Ryan was slowly getting a much more consoling sense of how those magic tools work.


    "Nyx, can you hand me the configuration crystal from box five?" He said aloud. Now in any free moment, when he wasn''t training with his servants, he was studying those interesting machines.


    The subus then held out a golden box with a crystal on top "Here" she said.


    Ryan was soldering part of the boxes, using some fire magic and tin. On his forehead was a round dark goggle, an old piece of dwarven equipment that he had bought for an extremely affordable price.


    "I think I will soon finish the ritual process" Ryan said, as he looked at the subus sitting next to him. Nyx was reading the book, helping in the process of tranting the manual as he fixed the boxes.


    *Knock * Knock *


    "Ryan? Can Ie in?" it was Olivia''s voice from the other side of the door.


    When she opened it, the book fell on the table, Nyx had disappeared in seconds. In a blink of an eye she was gone. "Are you busy?" The elf said, as she moved closer to give him a kiss.


    "Not really, I''ve almostpleted the ritual to capture Sylvanna''s curse" He replied, getting up from the chair he was in.


    "How is everything going? Were you able to use those boxes?" Olivia questioned, as she ran her eye around the room.


    There were several shelves in that workshop, most were filled with dwarven books and boxes. Aside from the tools that those people of short stature had developed in past centuries, the room was neat, but there was a veritable glut of magical dwarven boxes.


    As he stretched, he said "After the battles event, I will open a store." The elf took a step back in surprise, "Are you sure? Those boxes aren''t worth much" she replied. Ryan turned to the elf and picked up one of his projects, it was another simple dwarf box, made of iron and with a top of gold material. In the center of the box was a crystal that ran from the bottom to the top.


    Next to it was a crystal rectangle, Ryan''s main modification. "Put some mana on your finger and draw something on this part here" he said, pointing to the box. The elf looked up, thoughtfully, and then drew on the box. Her finger began to glow as she wrote.


    When she finished, the elf stood up. "Now, put some mana on the bottom of the box" Ryan said, extending the cube to her. The energy from Olivia''s palms began to slowly flow into the box, the amount was so small as to be insignificant. Then the crystal on top of the box began to emit an intense light, until a projection of what she had written began to float a little above the cube.


    Swirling in the air like a 3D hologram was Livia''s message.


    "I lov u"


    Ryan gave a smile and moved closer to the elf, cing a kiss on her mouth. "I love you too" he said,ughing. "This was just one of the projects I did, these boxes are way more useful than they look" he said. Then Olivia put the box on the table and turned to Ryan "I need your help" she said.


    "My sses are over for the day. Did something happen?" just by watching Olivia''s look it was already possible to see the seriousness of the situation. "I found some very strange books in the library."


    Ryan and Olivia left the elite dormitory and went to the library on one of the academy''smuter tforms. Along the way, several possibilities were running through Ryan''s head.


    ''Is there any chance it could be a book like yours?''


    <I imagine almost nil, sealing a demon in a book is something practically impossible><novelsnext></novelsnext>


    ''But it happened to you.


    <Well, there is a small chance>


    When the two arrived at the library, the building was not very busy. There were not that dozen or so books that normally flew back and forth entering the shelves. Not even wisps guiding students, "It''s a slow time, so we can talk. Follow me" She said.


    Ryan and Olivia went down the giant hole that was in the center of the library, the path was close to the area where Ryan and Nyx met. But before reaching the deepest floor, Olivia made a turn, following one of the shelves that were arranged on that staircase.


    When she reached the end of that corridor, the elf continued walking, passing through a path that went around the shelves that formed the circle of that floor. With each step, the magicalmps in the library lit up. After walking some more, they arrived at their destination.


    "This is the ancientnguage studies shelf. These are written in the northernnguage, they were only supposed to be books to support trantion. They are deadnguages, we keep them here in case someone needs to study these dialects" She said. The moment Olivia touched the book, the text on the cover changed, glowing with a red light. "But when I touch these books, the content of the text changespletely" she said.


    As she opened the pages and flipped through, it was as if the contents inside that book were slowly being rewritten. There were runes and text in anguage that was far removed from thenguages of the north. ''Do you know what''s going on?'' Ryan asked Nyx.


    At the same instant, the subus appeared in front of the two of them, confused. That girl''s red eyes were glowing as she approached the book in Olivia''s hand.


    <This is written in a demonguage, to be exact, in thenguage of the second floor of hell>


    Ryan ran his hand through each of those books, causing their cover to change with the actual contents.


    <This is writen in the paymonnguage, this one in Egyn and the other in the amaymon dialect. I-I can''t understand most of it>


    "R-Ryan" Livia said, confused, "The books are also changing because of you... W-What does it mean? What''s happening here?" Livia''s eyes were filled with doubt and fear.


    Then he stepped closer and gave the elf a hug. "Don''t worry, I''ll soon exin what''s going on. If you know of another session with books of simr content, let me know, okay?" the words of Ryan were full of certainty, which eased a little the heart full of doubts that the elf possessed.


    "Alright, I''ll have some tea" She said, as she walked back. Olivia''s steps were slow, she was carrying a weight too great for her back.


    ''The books understood that she was one of us''


    <Exactly>


    ''Can you read any of these texts?''


    <Maybe this one here> Nyx pointed to a book with a white leather cover.


    ''What is written?''


    <This is written in the dialect of the northern region of the first demon world, in the realm of Astaroth. I wandered for some time there>


    ''And what is written on the cover?''


    <Secr stories from the year four thousand seven hundred...That book is new...>


    ''New?''


    <How long has it been here? This book tells stories of over two thousand years since I was sealed.>


    ''Let''s talk to Olivia. I''ll take this book and you trante it for me.''
