Max had expected all the books under the knowledge section to be profound and containing some mysterious secret of the universe, however, the very first book title he inspected left him red faced.
[ 10 tips on how to make your partner orgasam ]
Max immediately put the book back as he nervously looked around to make sure nobody had seen him.
Although he already knew he was alone within this space, Max couldn't help but scratch his neck as those were not the kind of books he was hoping to see.
He hoped that it would be an isolated incident, but the very next book that he picked was one which was titled
[ The secret to making your python grow longer ]
Max smacked his forehead when he read the title and put the book back, but it was Drax who told him that things were not as they appeared to be.
" Kid, I think there are some hidden messages within these books and I don't actually believe they are erotica.
They are either books titled as erotica to fool a normal individual glancing over them, or an erotica book written with a code that can be decoded and read correctly only by someone who has the key.
I don't think the queen would trap them in here otherwise" Drax said, as he very sharply pointed out that there must be more to the title of the books than what met his eye and since he could not open the books to be sure he could only assume that they must have some profound secrets within and are not actually erotica.
Nonetheless, as Max moved on he found some books with normal titles as well and out of everyone that he read, there were two that really stood out to him.
The first book was titled-
[ The path of the perfect warrior, a guide for mortals by Odin ]
It seemed to be a book about the path of the perfect warrior, a path that Max had walked on for a great length and needed more insights about going forward.
And the second book that caught his eye was titled
[ Book of destiny - A guide to the understanding the most karmic influential individuals and their fate ]
The very title of the book was ominous and it's aura was too and Max had a feeling that if he opened the book he would gain knowledge about the biggest upcoming events of the universe.
It was something he was willing to take a gamble on, as he understood the importance of the object, but since he did not have to decide under the duress of a time limit, he put the book back into its shelf and moved forward thinking he would revisit it at the very end if he did not find something more tempting to pick.
Some honourable mentions that did peak his curiosity were books on ' What are celestials and what is the celestial realm? '
As well as ' The history of vampires '
But somehow Max felt that this was knowledge that though hard to find, could still be found if he tried hard enough and hence he did not take it into his final consideration.
Moving on, he left the knowledge section and entered the spell section where there were countless skill scrolls to choose from.
It was precisely this section that Max had the highest hopes from and he was excited to read the description of all the forbidden techniques that the queen had collected in this space.

( meanwhile Rudra )
Rudra sat inside his small wooden house with a heavy frown on his face.
There was a constant stream of tears going down the eyes of his eldest son Jake who had clutched onto Naomi's dress and was soiling it completely.
Yesterday night he had been interacting with his children and had found out that Jake had been given foundational training in swordsmanship by some instructors that Naomi had hired on Radiance and hence Rudra had decided to personally see what all his kid had learnt the next morning.
He had asked Jake to give a simple demonstration and was immediately bugged by how unbalanced his foot was when he was going to make a strike and how wrong his very foundations were.
Trying to tutor the boy and show him where he was going wrong, Rudra had asked him for his wooden sword as he showed him the proper stance for thrusting and slashing, but somehow, although he had not even leaked his aura even slightly, his very visage with a sword was so horrifying for Jake that the boy was scared out of his brains.
Crying non-stop as if he was faced with the grim reaper, the boy soiled himself leaving Rudra baffled on how to handle the situation, until Naomi came rushing out and picked the kid and began consoling him.
She threw a nasty glare at Rudra who still did not understand where he went wrong and for the first time the God King realised just how difficult parenting really was.
' Man up, Boys aren't supposed to cry 'was something Rudra wanted to tell Jake, but his senses told him that his wife would butcher him if he said those words.
The kids were way too pampered and sheltered from the real world, and Rudra was only realising the extent of their weakness now.
There was no question in his mind that he needed to toughen up the children, but the real question was how?
He couldn't do it overnight, the kids did not have the psyche of a warrior who could adapt to sudden shifts in environment, so he needed to make a plan and do it slowly.
" It's okay Jake, come to papa " he said eventually as he tried to embrace the boy and console him, but Jake would not leave his mother, pissing Rudra off even more.
Amy who was witnessing the scene from distance was more considerate of her father and decided to give him a hug instead of Jake which elevated some of Rudra's anger, but the god king was still cursing his first son silently and vowing to make him into one tough warrior real soon.
