Ron turned his head.

He could see the rest of the group laying down on the ground.

Beacrox, Choi Han, and the children averaging nine-years-old looked especially tired.

Only Eruhaben was still by Cale’s side and looking through a book.

It was at that moment.

Someone entered through the library door.

“…It’s almost been a week.”

It was Bud Illis.

One week.

That was how long Cale had been in this area.

Cale had been reading through the books here while saving the smallest amounts of time for necessities.

“How about you take a break?”

Bud could see that Cale was reading even as he was talking. It would be exactly one week in about two or three hours.

Bud had no choice but to be brutally honest.

“You couldn’t find the first in the end.”

The first incarnation.

Everyone started to frown.

Even the ancient Dragon stopped reading the book.

The White Star was said to have reincarnated for about 1,000 years.

That was how he was able to create the Dragon half-blood who had lived for 900 years.

‘That means that the first incarnation should have appeared on the Eastern continent about 1,000 years ago.’

Eruhaben had already heard from Cale that the Dragon Slayer village was supposedly located in the Eastern continent's Castle of Light.

In that case, there was an extremely high chance that the first White Star would have been recorded in the Eastern continent's strong individuals directory.

‘We also looked two hundred years after that, just in case.’

However, there was nobody they suspected of being the first incarnation.

Of course, they looked at records of people who used ancient powers or earned them, but there was nobody in possession of any ancient powers with enough destructive powers like the White Star.

“Cale, think about it.”

Bud approached Cale.

“The White Star must have hidden his powers. He survived for 1,000 years by pretending to be weak. That is how he avoided the Directory.”

That was what Bud had proposed three days after they arrived here.

“Don't you agree? We only just learned about how he is a reincarnator or even his appearance for the first time in 1,000 years. I don't think looking through the Directory would help us learn about his past.”

However, what Bud heard back was not Cale's voice.

Shhhh. Shhh.

All he heard was the sound of pages turning.

The Mercenary King could also see Cale's red face and the sweat on Cale's forehead and back.

“…Crazy bastard.”

He ended up sharing his honest sentiments.

It could not be helped.

The Mercenary King had rubbed his arms that were covered in goosebumps quite often these past few days.

He could see the path that the quiet bastard had walked as he read.

He could see the large number of bookshelves behind Cale.

All of the books on these bookshelves had been read by Cale.

One week.

Cale had read 10,000 books while the others had managed to read two or three at max.

In fact, it looked more like turning the page was the thing taking the most toll on Cale.

‘Is he human?’

This was not a human's level of memory.

Nobody could have expected that Cale Henituse had such an ability.

However, Bud could not understand why Cale was using such an ability for such a useless task.

It was at that moment.

“Human-”

He could see others slowly approaching Cale.

It was On, Hong, and Raon.

“Human, isn’t it tiring? Should I give you an apple pie?”

“He’s sweating so much.”

“He can’t faint again.”

The children averaging nine-years-old roamed around Cale with concerned expressions. However, they could not get right up next to Cale.

They could not easily approach Cale, who was reading even as he sweated so much.

“Huh?! Human!”

However, Raon suddenly charged toward Cale.
