Chapter 3: History lessons are just info dumps
Chapter 3: History lessons are just info dumps 2 weeks passed by in the blink of an eye.
I have finally sorted out most of the things.
After looking through Noah's smartphone and laptop I found out he has 2 billion in his account.
..This guy is loaded as hell. Why is he even living in a shabby apartment?
I changed Noah's password. How? Forget the password, duh.
It took my retina scan and friggin mana signature or something. I don't even understand the damn mechanics but eh, it works.
Futuristic world for sure.
Regardless, I used 20 million to find information, information about myself. It would be weird to ask someone to dig up information about myself so I told the guy I wanted to check his validity first.
Who was this guy, you ask? Well, a character from the novel. His information-digging skills are top-notch.
Am I going to form a connection with him? Hell no.
I wanted to confirm if this is really the world of the novel. Eliminating any and all other possibilities that might have existed.
I also needed information, so I asked the best guy I could. I have no intentions of being buddy-buddy with anyone. I plan on going back home, the f*ck will I be buddy-buddy with anyone for?
Back to the point, I asked him for information. He provided the information.
What did I find?
Nothing.
Seriously? That guy is supposed to be top-notch?
Apparently, he couldn't find anything about me before the age of 14. It seems like I just popped out of nowhere at the age of 14. Started living in this apartment and since then has been living here. I also got admitted into a top academy.
You know, heroes nurturing school.
That's all.
Motherfu*cker laughed it off and said 'Seems like I failed your test'
Useless piece of meat! My 20 million got wasted!
Not really...
Regardless, I don't know about Noah's parents, I don't know Noah's past, and I don't know a damn thing about the guy I am in possession of.
Noah is suspicious. The only thing I know about Noah is that he is an extra in the novel. There was no mention of him in the novel.
But from my perspective, it was a jackpot. Being an extra is a jackpot, unlike the main cast or the side characters and villains of the story, my fate wasn't decided by anyone. In other words, my life wasn't in control of someone else or my thoughts being something that someone wanted them to be. I am an extra who isn't influenced by any other being.
I can become a main character, an antagonist, or an ordinary person. I could be whatever I want to be. I am kind of an unknown variable in this world. Well, there might be someone else too like me.
Of course, being an extra, the perks of being the main cast such as plot armor weren't by my side but I was okay with it. Plot armor is a bitch, it abandoned the protagonist during the most crucial moment.
I looked at the pamphlet.
Heroes Nurturing Highschool
The academy provides free education as well as dormitories for students to live in. To begin with, that academy is like a cage. No outside contact is allowed until graduation unless some serious family issue arises, kinda like someone dying and stuff or special circumstances/reasons.
This cringe-named academy is the top military academy humans have to provide.
What military academy I am talking about?
Oh, come on, heroes? Villains? let's be honest, these so-called hero academies are nothing but military training academies that teach us how to deal with criminals so that we can protect humanity.
Just because a soldier has supernatural power doesn't make them a hero. A soldier is just that, a soldier, a criminal is just that, a criminal.
That's what I think.
Well, it's not just a military academy but also a place for re
Everyone immediately decided to cease the war. They thanked vampires for bringing such information to light.
...The vampire who actually solved the mystery started to cuss at every species saying It was Me who did it? Not those fuckers! Dumbasses! Why are you thanking them!?
As I said, vampires are individual types. Achievement belongs to a person and a person alone not to its species, that's their ideology.
Back on topic.
Finally, everyone found out about demons and also their land.
These guys who were once fighting each other decided to join the alliance and launch an attack on demons.
..Poor guys, it ended badly for them.
Apparently, demons are stronger, way stronger than anyone thought.
You see, someone's strength is determined by rank.
Apparently, demons are all either S-ranked or above S-ranked.
It would take hundreds of A+ rankers to do any damage on S-rankers... added to the fact that 100 people can't really group up on a single person.
So yeah, it's a lost cause.
Many died once again.
Now it was Humans, Elves, Dwarves, and Beastfolk vs Demons.
Vampires were as always, chilling in the chilly weather.
The futile fight continued.
Finally, the Demon king came forward for the peace talk.
Everyone was like 'After all this, you want to have a peace talk!?'
Another bombshell was dropped over everyone.
What happened?
It seems like demons need the flesh of other species in order to live, if they go on without any after some time they lose their sanity and attack their own allies and foes.
Sad lives.
After learning this, no one was able to be as angry at them as they once were but it didn't change the fact their species were clearly a danger to others.
War was ceased, and everyone worked hard and found an alternative for demons. Demon king thanked them and also promised that they would isolate themselves as a punishment.
What? How did the protagonist's mom die at the hands of demons?
Well, it's simple. You can't control everyone. There exist humans who kill humans.
We call those people bad people. Same with demons, even if most of them live in their lands some still cause trouble.
Anyways, the war finally came to a proper end after 20 damn years.
Since then the world has been at peace and progressing
For now...
That's the history of this world, anyway and it matches with the details of novel. In other words, I really am in the novel.
The current population?
700 million Humans.
250 million Elves.
300 million Dwarves.
400 million Beast folk.
20,000 Vampires.
No, I am not joking. That's the population of vampires.
50 million Demons.
Of course, these aren't the exact numbers but you get the thing.
Never thought I would see a day when my bank balance would be more than the world's population.
..Well, there's one more species but there's no information about them. They weren't involved in the novel either. I can't do anything about it for now.
Back on the topic. The thing is Noah got into Humanity's top academy.
The academy is also where the novel's story begins. The protagonist attends this academy and from there we read his life.
The academy will start from next month. So, I have 2 more weeks. I used these last 2 weeks since coming here to read all the books that his guy had and lots of the book available on the internet.
Surfing through online websites.
I spent nights without any sleep, but it was worth it. I am sure my intelligence stat has something to do with how I have caught up with a lot of things in simply 2 weeks. My memorization seems to have improved. It's almost photographic at this point.
It was necessary for me to do all the study. I mean this world has different subjects than I used to have. Not to mention the advanced technology that exists in this world.
The virtual reality games that I thought I would never be able to properly experience exists and with damn cheap prices too!
I used the first two weeks of the month to gather enough knowledge through books and the Internet about this world.
It was time to use the last 2 weeks of this month to gain experience before finally going to the academy starting next month.
As much as I hated it, I had to go outside of my room now.
No matter what happens, I am gonna go back to my world and find the answer to the cliffhanger that I have been left on!
Just you wait..!
