Rise Online: Return of the Legendary Player

The search for the right information continued as normal for the others, who were engrossed in the bookshelves, leafing through books and whispering to each other about possible clues.

Meanwhile, Jayaa, his heart still pounding and his breathing ragged, tried to recover from his frightening encounter with the mysterious book. He moved away from the shelf where the book was kept, keeping a wary eye on that corner of the room. The feeling that something sinister inhabited that book didn't leave him.

Every fiber of his being seemed to warn him of the imminent danger, but he forced himself to concentrate on the task at hand: finding information about the Aesir gods.

Watching his friends go about their business, Jayaa realized that he couldn't allow himself to be shaken by the disturbing experience. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his nerves, and turned his attention to the shelves full of knowledge accumulated over the millennia.

As his fingers traced the titles of the books, he tried not to think about his encounter with the living book. However, the image of the sharp jaws and glowing eyes crept into his mind every time he picked up a new book from the shelf, like a persistent shadow that refused to go away.

At the same time, Alina, Vorian and Kaizen were examining the other books in the place. The search for the secrets of the gods required focus and determination, because there were so many books in this place that there seemed to be no end.

And Vorian wasn't wrong when he mentioned that this was a section for gods, regardless of their mythology, because, although at first it seemed that it would be easy to find information about Týr, because Rise Online was very much based on Norse mythology, in that room there was information about gods from different mythologies and religions, some of whom Kaizen had never heard of.

The silence in the library echoed like a whisper suspended in the air, interspersed only with their murmurs as they concentrated on their research. Alina, Vorian and Kaizen were immersed in their own investigations.

Kaizen, with his dark eyes and serious expression, found a book that seemed to pique his curiosity. It was a volume bound in aged leather, with Egyptian hieroglyphics adorning the cover. His sturdy fingers traced the lines of symbols as he muttered to himself, deciphering the ancient words engraved there, thanks to his title Master of Languages.

"This is a book about Ra, the Egyptian god of the sun..." said Kaizen, raising his bright eyes to his companions. "It seems that the wisdom of the gods crosses mythological boundaries."

Alina, with her dark hair and keen eyes, found a tome with cuneiform writing on the yellowed pages. It was a record of the Sumerian gods, and she was fascinated by the complexity of their intertwined stories. "It's not just the Aesir and Vanir gods who have their stories preserved here.

This place is like a repository of mythologies even older than Yggdrasil itself, evidence of a universe before our own."

Kaizen closed his eyes and then took a deep breath. He had finally understood how there were scriptures about ancient gods in a world based on Norse mythology. There was a belief that a world preceded the present one.

Vorian, the most pragmatic of the group, focused on a set of scrolls sealed with a mysterious signet. Carefully, he broke the seal and began to read about the gods of Chinese mythology. "It's all here: Fu Xi, Nuwa, the Eight Immortals... How is knowing this supposed to be useful?"

While everyone explored the nooks and crannies of the room, Jayaa continued to explore the shelves on the other side of the room. As he stood further away, his every step echoed in the vast chamber, and the faint light emanating from ancient lamps revealed countless volumes stretching as far as the eye could see. Jayaa began to notice that some titles stood out, catching her eye in a peculiar way.

Books that contained not only information about the gods of this world, but also details about divine entities from mythologies as diverse as Egyptian, Greek, Hindu and even some that he, with his limited knowledge, didn't even recognize.

Curious, Jayaa pulled out a dusty book entitled "The Gods Beyond the Seas" and began to leaf through it. The pages showed depictions of exotic deities: Isis with her ibis wings, Hades with his cypress crown, Vishnu riding Garuda. Each story pulsed with divine energy, revealing secrets long forgotten in this world.

Alina was amazed. In her library there were sporadic mentions of gods who didn't belong to the Aesir or the Vanir, and he found an ancient scroll detailing the complex relationship between Zeus, Jupiter and other gods who shaped a place called Olympus. His eyes lit up as he discovered connections between these ancient narratives and the events of this world and how it all ended with the end of time.

Vorian came across clay tablets meticulously described in a book, revealing stories of Enlil, Enki and other gods who ruled over the Mesopotamian pantheon. The descriptions of these deities were intertwined in a way that defied comprehension.

Despite his search for information about Týr, Kaizen immersed himself in the Eastern scrolls that narrated the adventures of the Hindu, Buddhist and Taoist gods. Brahma, Shiva, Buddha and other divine beings paraded before their eyes. As they delved deeper into their research, the room seemed to take on a life of its own. The murmur of the books seemed to take on a more intense cadence.

Suddenly, a mysterious glow enveloped Kaizen as he turned his attention to a book that had previously seemed insignificant. The cover, worn by time, now displayed arcane symbols that shimmered with an ancient light. Hesitation enveloped Kaizen, but his curiosity pushed him to open it.

Flipping through the first few pages, Kaizen found himself immersed in an epic narrative, like a medieval fantasy book, and the name of the book's second chapter was "God of Death and Time".
