Chapter 24: Isolde
Golden sunlight poured through the glass, creating long, warm shadows — a beautiful, fleeting scene that no human could ever hope to capture on canvas.
"Huh! Sunset?" Rex blinked, stunned. When he had started reading, it was just around 12 PM.
And now, it was already golden hour, just before dusk. That meant he had been reading for 5 to 6 hours straight.
(⊙_⊙)?
"This also explains why my body feels so sore," he muttered, stretching his stiff limbs.
Honestly, it was the first time he had read for so long in either of his lifetimes.
He was amazed by his focus and reading speed, having finished a whole book in just a few hours — especially considering its intimidating thickness.
A book that size would have usually taken him days, if not weeks, to read.
And to be clear, read not understand. But now, not only had he read the book so quickly, but he also fully understood its content — even the deeper meanings hidden between the lines, something that would normally take months to grasp.
And the reason for this incredible feat? Of course, it was all thanks to the 'Aeon Glasses', the reward from the system.
Even though he expected the glasses to be somewhat magical, he didn't think they'd be this overpowered.
