Sighing, I leaned back and opened the completely tattered book again, which I actually already knew by heart. But I wanted to repeat as much as possible today so that I could get off to a good start tomorrow. I ran my finger over the familiar table of contents. Foreword, evolution, instinct, social life, physiology, reproduction, ancestry, stem groups and subspecies. How many times had I made this movement with my finger? I couldn't count it anymore, but it was like a little ritual I had to go through before I could s

𝐏𝐎𝐕 𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐍𝐀 I was reading a book when I realized I hadn’t understood a single line. The book remained open on my lap. My eyes moved across the words, line after line, but nothing made sense. It was as if I was only passing over them… without truly absorbing anything. I let out a soft sigh. I turned the page anyway. Automatic. The room was silent.

Could you please tell me why I cannot read the next page or any other page? [Host has understood 1% of the content of the First Page] [The Second Page will be accessible after the Host gains 100% on the first page] You!! AGGHH! Why aren't you letting me be overpowered! [I've overpowered the host enough. Get to work!] As I thought of destroying the book, I became furious, but I calmed down immediately. Relax, it's nothing to worry about. There is no free meal available. I got a gist of how the book works, the reader moves onto the next page once they have understood 100% of that page.

“For you.” I could hardly believe it. Flipping through the composition book, I could make out pages upon pages filled with neat handwriting, what looked like ten chapters worth of reading, and even… a couple of smutty scenes. My cheeks warmed as I flipped to a random page and read something about the dragon turning into a man, and…

The book on my lap fell to the ground. Alex picked it up and scanned the cover. "Human Biology." He arched a brow in my direction. "You can read?" The edges of my lips tilted at his question. "Yes, my mother taught me. She used to draw words and letters in the sand when I was younger. I had not seen a book until now, though. Mother often said the leaves were delicate and would tear apart in water. There were times when she said books were like life. Sometimes it took on a drop of disaster to tear our lives apart."

I knew I had to keep the conversation going to make us both comfortable and move past the discomfort, but I wasn't sure how to start. After a moment, I decided to use the book as a safe conversation starter. "I couldn't help but notice you were reading that book. It looks really interesting. What's it about?" I asked. "It's a fascinating story about time travel and parallel universes. Would you like to read with me? I can start over," she offered, finally facing me. "Sure," I replied happily. I sat close to her, and we began reading. Soon, we started discussing the book, and we became relaxed and talked freely like before, which made me happy.

Luxiana Sommeris Work had been exhausting, but I felt a quiet satisfaction at the end of the day. A steady stream of students and middle-aged readers had come to the library, eagerly searching for books to immerse themselves in. I’d always assumed that technology would take over even the simple joy of reading. With ebooks and online platforms offering instant access to stories—often for just a handful of coins—it seemed inevitable. Yet, seeing people choose the weight of a book in their hands, cherishing the earthy smell of its pages, and savoring the anticipation of flipping to the next chapter made me undeniably happy.

I shook my head. “Exactly.” Davon pointed at the cell phone Theo gave me. I almost forgot. I bought this for him. I opened it and told him what it was—teaching him how to use it. He was incredibly fascinated by how you can easily talk to anyone, and search anything online and read. But he prepares the physical book—the joy of flipping pages and smelling the dusty old books. The same reason why I love books. It reminds me how important someone or things would be despite their age. My dad loves books. One thing I got from him. He used to read me bedtime stories when I was a kid.

I uttered wondering how someone would be able to read all the books in a room, guessing that the size of the room was small, I understood the possibility of his words. "To everyone I guess but in my eyes. It's so possible that I find myself doing the same thing. Let me show you the book I was reading earlier"He retorted as he stretched his hands to the drawer by the side of his bed, brought out a book and gave it to me. "Becoming a Billionaire's Whore" I read thus as I held the book in my hands. "What's it about?" I inquired, knowing how much I hated reading books, it felt like poison to me but I could make an exception for Elliot since reading was one of his habits.
