Joy filling her little, non-physical heart, Liza merrily buried her body in the back of the bookcase, behind the small collection of books she'd created. After that, she opened the door and peeked outside, checking on her progress with moving the room.

  Though perhaps it was to be expected, Liza couldn't hide her dissapointment when she saw the room had barely moved a few meters from its original position.

  'Pahhh...'

  It was a wonder to her why using her stamina to such a degree didn't cause her to level up, even just the stamina bar. But such was the way of things, she figured, though she couldn't exactly say it sat right with her. Still, there was nothing she could do about it, so she pushed on. After a while, like, a while, she stopped yet again and peeked outside, only to be met with a dirt wall, as if the entire room had been encased in dirt.

  It was then she realized her mind form could pass through the dirt unobstructed! She should perhaps have tried this before, but who could blame her? She wasn't exactly used to not having a... having a .... Having a what?

  Liza shuddered, and put the throught aside. She closed the door again and kept pushing.

  After a while, Liza wasn't sure how much time had passed - It wasn't like she had a clock to tell the time, whatever that was. By her own estimates, it had been perhaps a week.

  In the end, the monotone gringing made her snap and she stopped in her tracks, leaving the room and going through a few cycles of researching random things around her, distilling the knowledge and suffusing it into some Books of Knowledge until she leveled up twice more.

  In the level up screen, she'd put ten points all together into Movement, five point into Intelligence and five points into Power, bringing them up to fifteen, eight and 25 respectively.

  Something she noticed now that she'd leveled up twice more that she hadn't noticed the first time around, likely because the change was the farthest from astronomical, was that with her increase in level, the Library itself had gotten bigger.

  She checked on her book body, and saw that it, too, had become bigger, though it wasn't clear to her if this was because of the level-ups or her ever-increasing book collection.

  Stolen novel; please report.

  The room now had space for a third table and chair, as well as another small bookcase, and the blue book had become thicker, and perhaps a single centimeter taller and broader.

  She also noticed, to her great pleasure, that even the items in the room, as in the tables, chairs, door and even candles - that she'd also copy-pasted - had become just a bit more... How to put it? Firm? Yeah. Firm. It was like something had changed within them, in their very essence, that had made them seem firmer, somehow. What pleased Liza, was that this change was visible on the outside. The wooden things were a bit more shapely, the shapes and lines more refined, their color slightly darker. The chamberstick was had become a little closer to golden in color, though this change was the least noticable of all of them. Even the candle itself had become a bit taller, its flame just that little more lively, flickering this way and that in the windless woom.

  While these changes were barely visible, Liza didn't care. It was her Library, and it was her greatest joy to see it shape up, little by little.

  Stepping outside, she decided to do a thorough test to see exactly what her Power attribute did, and Intelligence, for that matter. Well, she was already quite sure of what Intelligence did, as when she'd increased it, her Magica had gone up to 125. It didn't take a genius to see the correlation.

  But then, she didn't know what the limits of her magica stat was either.

  Her Power stat was a bit more tricky, as she wasn't sure it even had a connection to either of the base stats, Vitality, Stamina and Magica. Yet, she had felt a change. It wasn't in any way a grand shift, but she felt more... more. That was to say, it wasn't that Liza suddenly could feel more, or see more - that was under the authority of the Perseption attribute, after all. She simply felt like she was more, like her mind suddenly had more weight to it, if that was even possible. So she wanted to know.

  What did it mean for a mind to have more weight?

  So out she flew, into the ever-darkening dirt tunnel.

  It had dawned on her some time ago that she was moving downwards, one slight increment at a time. As such, the mix of energies, the mix of magica, in the tunnels was now gradually containing less Earth Magica and mroe Death Magica - and she really didn't know how to feel about that.

  Actually, she did. It creeper her out.

  What made her continue, then, was the single thing that pushed her into any kind of action in the first place - the quest for knowledge! For expantion!!!

  If she was going to be the greatest, biggest, and most extensive Library in the entire Universe, she had to go everywhere and learn everything!! There was no going back!

  So out she went, blissfully unaware of the monster that was looking at her from the end of the tunnel.
