The One Who Collects

After five years, they all changed.

Adam is now 15. He looks young boy with short brown hair, a high forehead, thin eyebrows, and brownish-orange eyes. He is 5'3" and weighs 106 pounds (161.544 cm and weighs 48 kg). He was quite short for his age. He has on layered robes that reach his ankles. The under-robes were designed with a yellow collar, while the flowing over-robes were brown. The armlets were loose and opened wide at the wrist, which he found in the library. His tooth, which was crooked before, has straightened up.

Aaron is now 17 years old, and he is a built man standing 6'5" weighing 300 pounds, most of it from his muscles (198.12cm and weighing 136 kg). His neck is extremely thick. His dark brown spikey hair, growing from the middle of his head, grew forward and covered his left eye. He has thin black eyebrows and red eyes. He has an overly muscular and extremely thick muscle with eight packs and an athletic frame. He has a brown kimono-like tunics with no sleeve showing off his muscular arm. He is more of a dark caramel skin tone for being in the desert for a long time, and he also has an intimidating gaze.

Aerin is also now 17 years standing 5'7" and weighing 230 pounds (173.736 cm and weighing 104 kg). Unlike his brother, he has a lean muscular bulky athletic build. He can be considered handsome, unlike his brother who will be thought to be a monster. He has a piercing gaze and with his spike hair growing backward, only from the middle from his head, reaching his neck. and rather large eyebrows. He has on a light green kimono-like tunics.

Adan has also changed. He is now 48 years. Adan is a very tall, muscular man with brownish skin, who possesses a set of well-developed abdominal muscles with a small vertical scar running over his left eye. Spiky scarlet red hair, and has dark-colored eyes with thin black eyebrows. He stands 7'2" and weighs 155 pounds (219.456 cm and weighing 70 kg). Despite his age, he still looks like he is in his mid-twenties. After eating the fire seed, his hair began to turn scarlet red. He now wears a red and black ornate robe.

Agate, now 16 years, has a very feminine face and as such, can be mistaken for a girl. Agate has yellow eyes and light brown smooth hair that reaches past his neck. He also now wears a pair of glasses with light frames, which he found on a bookcase. He is 5'9" and weighs 131 pounds (179.832 cm and weighing 59kg). He wears a blue kimono-like tunics that extend to his knee, with split in the middle for leg movement. Under blue kimono-like tunics, he wears black pants.

During these five years, everyone's personality changed. Adan became arrogant because he got the most destructive element and he also became more of a leader type. Aaron became too obsessed with his muscles and fighting, showing off his muscles any time he can. Aerin became proud of his beauty, saying any girl will throw themselves at him. Agate, as the smart one, became obsessed with knowledge in the library and become extremely vicious when some called him a girl. Adam became fierce, independent, more sarcastic, and pugnacious.

"We are really lucky. This Library has a cloth for us like it is welcoming us." Adan said checking out his robe.

"Yeah. Agate, you are looking more like a girl the more you grow up. Interesting. See this body? This is the body of a true man." Aaron said flexing in different positions.

"Maybe as he grows older he turns into a girl," Adam said while walking around, getting used to his new robe.

"Shut up Adam! That is why you have the smallest d*ck here." Agate said agitatedly. "Even if I look like a girl, at last, I have a big d*ck"

"What? You were looking at my d*ck? You wanna fight? I will beat you, cut off your d*ck and shove it up your a.s.s. Come to me." Adam said fiercely while jumping up and down. "I'm ready my lady. Come to me."

"Woah, calm down. We were dressing in the same room so... Everyone noticed it. I mean compare to that monster over there that may kill any female with only his d*ck, yours is small. Yours is at most 7 inches when fully erect while he is 12 inches when fully erect." Adan said pointing at Aaron. "At least you are the strongest one here."

Adam started walking out of the room.

"Where are you going? We should all explore the library together." Aerin said holding Adam's right wrist.

"I want to try my luck and find something beauty boy, and if any of you ever say that... I will make your d*ck smaller than mine." Adam said snatching his wrist away from Aerin's hand and walking out the room.

"Damn Agate, why did you have to say that?" Aaron said, "He is going to be grumpy for a week now."

"You think I care. He called me a girl." Agate said walking out the room

"We should just go together," Aaron said to Adan and Aerin.

"Yeah," Adan said as they walked out of the room.

Adam was walking through a dark aisle of bookshelves looking for something. The book on the bookshelves was dusty and most of them are falling apart. This part of the library was where the old book was. The whole library had the smell of books, but this part had a hint of a rotten smell. He looked down the aisle. If he goes further down, he won't be able to see because no light reaches down there, so he just picked a random book out of a shelve and blow the dust off the cover of the book.

*Cough**Cough*"Shit, I almost died of cough."

The title of the book was: Water-bending Southern style.

"Oh, a water bending style. So this is where the bending books are kept. I was looking for it for about 3 hours now." He said pulling out the book next to the book he just picked.

*Cough**Cough*"This dust is going to kill someone. We need to clean it"

The title of the book was: Water-bending Northern style.

"Huh? Southern and Northern style? What is the difference? " He said taking two books out of the shelve. This time he didn't blow the dust but hit them against each other.

One title was: Water-bending Foggy Swamp style.

The other was: Fire-bending

"Three types of water bending. I need to know the difference, but that is for later. Now I should get all the bending books and martial arts books I can find back to the room to show the guys." He said while taking all the books that are related to bending and martial art. Then he remembered something "Oh, I forgot my reward for completing the mission. Z can you give me my reward."

[I thought you won't remember and I was sure as hell wasn't going to remind you. Next time, if you don't collect your reward within 24 hours, I won't reward you. Your reward are:

50 points into physical.

5,000 points.

And a body trait called selective memories.]

[Let me explain what selective memories is. Selective memories give you the ability to form a library like structure in your brain and thing you never want to forget will be stored in the library, in the form of a book. You won't be able to update a book that already formed in the library. You have to make a new book to put the new things inside. You can also merge books but the ages and the pages will also merge. So if you merge books and it exceeds the years or pages, it will destroy. A book is limited to a million pages long.]

[The book can only last for 250 years. You can't renew a book, but you can make a book with the content of an old book. Your brain library can store a limited amount of memories, but you can increase the number. This can happen when going into deep meditation to free your mind. Basically going into a half-dead state. This is extremely risky because you can die if you are distracted or lose concentration when you are not supposed to.]

[The library can also collapse on itself when your mind is unstable. During this process, you can stop it, but you have to go into a half-dead state for a long time to restore the library to its old size. The length of the time spent meditating, depends on how much space is lost. But all the memories lost can never be retrieved. The loss of memories goes from the oldest to youngest, so if the library collapse on itself, you will lose your memories from the oldest memories in the library to the youngest.]

[Now, do you want to collect the reward? I advise not to collect it now because your mind needs to be calm for me to install this trait, and that can only happen when you are sleeping. So before you sleep, you can collect it.]

"The body trait is good but it has a lot of limitations. At least I have a way to remember things that I want to. I will collect it later. can you show my statue."

"I gained hallucination resistance from those damn cactus juice. And all my bending is in trainee now? That is good, we also spent five years in the desert? Wow, it didn't feel that long. Can you tell me the levels?"

[The levels are, Normal(no bending) -0-0, Novice 1-30, Student 31-50, Trainee 51-???, Pro(Teacher), Master, Grandmaster, Greatmaster, King, and Saint. The rest you have to find yourself.]

"If you keep telling me my Physical and Galdura power in numerical value, how am I supposed to know how strong I am? Can you explain it in a way I can understand?" 

[Physical is simple. Just multiply your Physical power by 2 and put pounds in the end so that means you can lift 200 pounds. Almost twice as your body weight. As for your punching force, just multiple your physical by 1.5, which is 150 pounds.]

[As for Galdura, Normal is no bending. Novice is like a child learning how to crawl, this means you are just getting connected to your element. The student rank is like a baby already crawling and learning how to walk, this means you are now connected to your element and learning how to control it but only to the b.a.r.e minimum like shoot little fire from your hand. Trainee, you get more into control and learn how to move fire, make a ball out of air and make water solid, turning it into ice. Pro is like a child already walking and learning how to jump and run, this means you are now able to do more things with your element. It will also require fewer body movements to control the element.]

[For the rest, you will know the difference when you get to that level.]

"Wow, you sure are lazy. You can't even explain a simple thing to me. Haa∼ Now time to get back to those guys." Adam said using air to pick up the books.

When he entered the room, he noticed everyone sleeping. He decided to look at their stats as he wanted to know the difference between all of them.

[Wow, that Aerin flirt with himself. What a sad life. The Adan guy has a talent for fire-bending. His almost at master.]

Adam just ignored Z comments, "At least, their PL is not higher than mine, I am still the strongest. From what I have seen, the levels are Normal(no bending) 0-0, Novice 1-30, Student 31-50, Trainee 51-99, Pro 100-150, Master 151- ???. See Z? Without you, I can fill it up myself."

Adam then lets all the book drop on the floor. 

*BAM*

"Holy Mary, what the f.u.c.k is that?" Adan said sitting up. 

"Are we getting attacked? Finally a good fight." Aaron said standing up and flexing.

"I can't fight, there is no water here," Agate said getting behind Adan.

"It's me, you idiot. These are the book that tells us about bending. Agate, there are three types of water bending so you have to find the difference in the three and maybe combine them. It will be hard on you, but you have to MAN up and do it. There are also some books for martial art. We should all practice martial art so we can fight without only relying on our bending." Adam said pointing to the books.

"You always had luck. We searched many parts of the library for books about bending, but we didn't find it so we decided to stop and continue searching for it tomorrow." Aaron said walking up to the pile of books "We also found some books about martial arts, so we have to find the one best for us."

"Ha, telling me to do something so easy? I have a very good memory. I can still remember when I was 2 years old with details. Maybe you don't want to do it so you want me to do it. Right, little d*ck nick?" Agate said smirking.

"You... You are DEAD." Adam said shooting multiple fireballs at Agate.

"Woah, calm down. We are in a library. Do you want to burn this place down?" Adan said waving his hand and extinguishing the fireballs.

"We should go hunt before we go to sleep, so we will have something to eat after we wake up tomorrow," Aaron said while holding Adam who is screaming at Agate and struggling, trying to get free.

"Yeah, we should go," Adan said standing up, putting on his cloak, and leaving the room. They followed him.

[Three hours later]

"Why can't we find any sand shark? When we want them, they don't come, but when we don't want them, they come in waves." Aerin said.

"Yeah. We can't even find a Cactus." Agate said sounding mad.

"What do you need a Cactus juice for? Oh, I forgot, You need it for you beauty makeup." Adam said while practicing his air-bending. Aaron is holding on to his shoulder so he won't attack Agate.

"Oh, ho ho. Little d*ck nick finally decided to talk. I need more Cactus juice for training" Agate said while smirking under his hood.

"Adam, Agate, stop arguing. You are disturbing my training." Adan said while playing with fire.

"That is good, this way, we can work on our concentration," Aerin said while moving the sand around him.

[Hay Adam,]

"What?"

[You know, you could have bought food and water from the store all this time?]

"Wait... I could have?" Adam said shocked, losing control of the air he was controlling, thus pushing everyone back. Even Aaron that was holding on to him, flew back.

[Yeah. I told you everything I can make is in the store. I can create food, so it is in my store.]

"I suffered for my stupidity. I almost died," Adam whispered to himself angrily "For my stupidity, I almost died multiple times. HAHA... HAHAHAHA... AHHHHHHHHHH..." He roared, fire coming out from his mouth. The air around him roared violently and the sand made a mini sand storm around him. The air became sharp and mistakenly cut Aerin chick.

Aerin touched his chick and found blood on his hand "You cut my face?" Aerin asked Adam, who wasn't listening, hysterical "YOU CUT MY HANDSOME FACE? I WILL KILL YOU!!!" Aerin shouted running into the mini sand storm, controlling the sand and started fighting Adam.

Adan tried to stop the fight, but he later joined it. Aaron saw this as a good fight, so he also joined. Agate saw this as a way to practice his water-bending, with the little Cactus juice he had, so he joined the fight. Thus it became a free for all.
