tomes."
     
     
"That tome enhances the user's ability to maneuver and fight on top of a mount. There were different variations of this ability that would enable the other jobs to get a mount. Like the Pathfinder's 'Beast Tamer(Mount)', the Warrior's 'Mounted Warrior' and the Druid's 'Animal Whisper'. Nevertheless, it is the Knight's 'Mount Mastery' that is the easiest to acquire. In mounted form, a person would need a longer weapon to increase his range. Hence, making most Knights take up the spear or the glaive. Go ahead and acquire the ability."

Madam Dawny eyebrows met as she saw Smoke consume a Knight only ability tome. Although, this ability was readily available from the time that a player gets the job of a Knight hence making it a junk ability tome.
     
     
"Thank you so much! I'll use this properly when the time comes. Alright, I'll head out to the central district's library now."
     
     
Smoke equipped with his hooded cloak, 'Wings of Cologus', and a basic Swordsman's attire proceeded to the teleportation circle in the southern district.

Sometimes merchants and other vendors would recognize him as Ilad their southern district representative. He would wave and smile at them cordially.
     
     
NPCs would go near him and shake his hands, all except for the stalls near the female Gnome called Kort. The NPCs there would avert their eyes when they saw Smoke coming their way.
     
     
Smoke failed to notice this and continued onward to the central library. He stepped onto the teleportation circle targeting the central district.
     
     
It wasn't only the NPCs that crowded around Smoke, there were players as well that would ask him to add them to their friend list but Smoke would refuse all of them politely. If he did that, they would discover his real name.
     
     
He finally came upon the special casting circle. This was his first time using a teleportation circle and he felt weird. He thought that it would be a seamless experience but it felt like his brain was jiggled up a bit. Like an elevator making an abrupt stop.
     
     
Before, he thought that the southern district was already crowded but it could not compete with the population of the central district. Players and NPCs numbered in the thousands.
     
     
There were shops that were catered to specific players like the 'MaguStore' and the 'SnipeRus'. Of course the Knight specific stores still dominated the market place.
     
     
He was excited to check each store, but his preparations for the finals superseded anything else. He went directly to the central library.
     
     
Smoke had never seen this many books in his entire life, the real world included. Inside the central district's library there were thirty floors, all of which were filled with books.
     
     
The central library was the tallest building in Coatl city, but he didn't think that all of its floors were filled up with books.
     
     
He was salivating when he imagined just how much acquired knowledge and Intelligence stats he would receive if he were to read all of these books.
     
     
A tall male HighElf with golden hair was standing at the front desk. Smoke went to him and asked to see the head librarian, Madry.
     
     
"I'm here to see the head librarian. Madam Dawny sent me."
     
     
The HighElf looked at him curiously. He was not used to see a Swordsman inside the library. He would occasionally see some Alchemists, Mages and Wizards, maybe even a Priest but never a Swordsman.
     
     
"Hmm, Madam Dawny, huh? Let me check if
