The Idle System (A LitRPG series Book 7): Family, Pegaz [learn to read books txt] 📗

arrived at the Adventurers’ Guild, he was in luck as he found Alan looking through the posters on the board.

He waited a few minutes before he found what mission they had taken when they first met him.

They needed to collect bat faeces for further studies on beasts.

No wonder they didn’t mention what mission they were on when we met. But since I know what’ll happen in the future, these further studies into beasts must be to make that machine to lure them.

With his curiosity satiated, John flew back to the cliff.

When he got there, he saw his past self lying down on the large boulder he had just climbed on, wearing leather boots and short shorts.

What!? Where did they come from?

In his deep state of shock, he accidently leaked out a little Chaos Power.

A few seconds later, a large amount of noise came from the cave before the bats fled, and the last one out attacked his past self.

Oh, no wonder those bats came out during daytime when I was there. My future self scared them.

After the bat died, John then watched his past self squatting on the slope of the mountain, inside the tree branches, waiting for the two bats to finish drinking the blood of the jumbo rabbit.

That was when he remembered the part of Alan, Peter, and Cyril again. He flew towards Newbie Town, but noticed the party was walking towards the cliff his past self had woken up on.

This isn’t right, but what’s missing?

It took a few seconds before he figured it out. He flew around the forest for a little while before finding a Continuous Bear. He made some threads to wrap around the bear’s legs, mouth, and eyes before flying towards the party again.

When he got behind the party, he placed the bear’s head pointing towards them and released the threads from its eyes, causing the bear to notice the humans.

He then released the bear completely before watching the bear roar and chase them towards his past self’s location.

Flying to where his past self was again, he watched as his past self walked towards the corpse of the jumbo rabbit. John remembered his feelings around this time.

I remember something about me complaining it was darker down there, which meant it was colder. My new body was still adapting to the surroundings and the system made my brain slow, which meant the body couldn’t sense much of anything for a while.

John smirked as he created threads which travelled to his past self, touched the short shorts, and then he quickly turned on his Absorb option to make them disappear before turning the option back off.

I don’t know why I did that to myself. Maybe because when I transcended, it happened again and meeting Transcendents naked is a lot worse than meeting mortals naked? I did think back to this time when I transcended, which prevented that scenario from happening.

Not long after his past self reached the rabbit, the party being chased by the Continuous Bear reached the location. He watched everything play out, including his past self killing the bear.

I always thought this was a bit too coincidental. I was complaining about not having a skill to keep my Idlers inside a skill when the bear showed up for the system to create the skill. Now I know it was my future self making it happen.

He followed his past self to the library inside Newbie Town where his past self would spend a month there, free of charge, to learn all the laws of this world.

When he arrived inside the Essential Education section of the library, John quickly turned on his Scan, went through all the information inside this library, and found something was missing.

Don’t tell me my future self also created this bit of information for some reason, and now I’ve got to repeat it?

Sighing, John teleported into the sky and using some blank leather parchments he got out of his Storage Space, John wrote some false history about dinosaurs on this planet.

Is this to teach me to never believe what I’ve read? Always check facts? I remember I never talked to anyone about the history of this planet with its residents, maybe that’s the lesson? If you want to know something, ask the people whose lives are affected by it?

After finishing the book, he placed it in the library after his past self went to the inn to sleep.

John knew that his past self would only be reading for a while, so he used the time element to skip to the part where his past self went back to the Loose Forest.

He saw his past self being chased by another Continuous Bear. When his past self managed to kill the bear, John created some threads and pushed the bear forward which landed on his past self.

Now I know this lesson. Learn martial arts! It was this point in time when I realised my old fighting style wouldn’t work in this new universe and needed to properly learn.

I also realised that I needed to grind on the lower ranked monsters so the higher ranked monsters wouldn’t kill me so easily. That’s why I spent two years hunting all these bears down.

John then watched his past self get on with his training in martial arts and book a survival course the guild was running.

After he saw himself walk away with the S-ranked adventurer, Gavin Duns, for the survival course, he followed the guild master, Tom Yale, out of curiosity.

Inside Tom’s office, he heard what Tom and the old blacksmith, Brad, talked about, stunning him a little.

With what I know now, Tom’s two pieces of information is what O’Malley spread on purpose.

Siders being invincible until some universal quest was completed. I think that information actually saved my life. Without it, Tom or Brad might’ve just killed me like Brad said.

The other piece of information they talked about was Siders having to choose between being a Demon or a Saint.

I played right into O’Malley’s hand after learning
