Secret: I, the hermit, want to make progress too much

Chapter 1 Half-Peeper, Mysterious Palace
"The sage who has insight into knowledge."

"Eyes that peer into the truth."

"The source of deep secrets."

"I pray for your gaze and for your knowledge of the mysteries."

"..."

Roy dug through the memories in his mind and couldn't help but sigh heavily, wishing he could go back to yesterday and start over.

Going back to yesterday, the most I could do was to slow down the one-week burst study of advanced mathematics, automation and other subjects. If I failed the subject, I would have to retake it next year to save my life. But there is no chance of retaking this thing——

The former tried to commit suicide, and together with his classmates arranged a ceremony that came from nowhere and recited an honorable name.

According to the setting of the three honorary names, their rituals should be directed towards the Lord of Mysteries...

Ok?
what do you say that is?

He was stunned, unable to remember the name of the god.

After a while, a sharp pain emerged.

Roy's face turned pale and he quickly shifted his attention.

status quo!

Think about your current situation.

residence--

Tingen.

Also studied at Hoy University.

"That place seems to be..."

Roy was stunned for a moment, then the tingling sensation reappeared, and he quickly changed his attention again.

Tingen, say this about yourself——

what……

What is that thing called?

There is indeed something wrong with my memory!

Some memories are still there, but many memories have disappeared without a trace, and my head hurts when I think about it, which seems to be a warning.

perhaps.

It is precisely because of the lack of memory that he can survive. Otherwise, due to the characteristics of the mysterious world, he may go crazy the moment he lands, or he may be targeted by the existence corresponding to the mysterious ritual and take away his memory.

He calmed down and stopped thinking wildly. He walked to the mirror and studied himself carefully to see if there were any changes other than "memory".

Body black hair brown eyes.

There doesn't seem to be much difference from myself in the previous life, but there are about sixty-seven points of similarity.

My body hasn't changed much.

At least there are no missing arms or legs, or any signs of madness or loss of control.

Roy nodded secretly.

At this moment, a phantom light flashed before his eyes.

what?
He focused.

Then, a phantom appeared and disappeared in the mirror.

If you look closely, it is a palace, floating in and out of sight among the endless torrent of spiritual numbers and information.

The next moment, Roy's eyes flashed——

Everything around him collapsed and turned into a torrent of information.

Immediately afterwards, the torrent of information enveloped him, and in the vortex, his consciousness rose into the phantom.

Open your eyes again.

Roy was in a bright hall, with lights jumping around, and countless information streams flowing on the surrounding walls. The moment he saw them...

He remembered it all!
Hidden Sage, Sealed Artifact 008.

There are also taboo names such as Goddess of the Night and Adam, all of which are clearly engraved in my mind in this room.

The missing memories all returned the moment he entered the palace.

"My memory has been cut off by this palace?"

Roy looked around.

There is a throne at the top of the hall, and a long table in the middle, a bit like a library or reading room.

Bookshelves are displayed on all sides, divided into categories——

Languages, ritual magic, mysteries, forbidden knowledge, and more.

The bookshelf near the corner has labels such as "useless nonsense" and "harmful knowledge".

I looked around the bookshelves and found that there was not a single serious book on the Eight Classics, only a page and a book.

One page is a ritual for communicating with the Hidden Sage.

At the bottom of this page, there are words written by the Hidden Sage——

"I have given you the gift. You will become half a secret peeper, and sooner or later you will be able to gain the power of knowledge."

Half a voyeur?
Roy's eyes widened, but he didn't feel happy or thankful at all.

Knowledge is wealth and a terrible poison.

Especially the Secret Peeper.

He often imparts knowledge to extraordinary people of the same sequence.

and so.

The path of being a spy is very dangerous.

Becoming half a secret peeper means that you can no longer choose other sequences.

Besides, there's that book.

He walked over and opened it, and a reminder came to his mind——

Hermetic!The complete Hermetic language, plus the infusion of half a Secret Peeper's abilities, is simply beyond the reach of ordinary people.

This is probably how the predecessor died.

"My knowledge infusion is blocked by the mysterious palace, so I can only be safe after crossing over. Otherwise, I may not be able to escape death even if I cross over."

Roy couldn't help but feel happy, and then sighed softly.

His classmate Rado Lange...

I'm afraid he has either become completely cold, or he has become a hidden madman.

This is the fate of the vast majority of indoctrinated people.

He has this mysterious house, and he can use bookshelves to sort and collect the knowledge he has been taught to avoid madness, but "his" classmate may not be so lucky.

Even if you are lucky enough to survive the initial babble and become a secret peeper, few will be able to withstand the subsequent "knowledge chase".

in particular.

The other party is not an official Beyonder yet.

Not knowing the motto of "Do whatever you want, but do no harm", the possibility of losing control increases rapidly, and they directly become Secret Seekers through rituals and have a stronger connection with the Hidden Sage.

In addition, once Lado Lange is exposed, he will not be spared.

"This is the world of the Lord of Mysteries. If you don't become an extraordinary person, you can only secretly pray that you can survive when the waves come."

"It's okay if there's no chance."

"Now……"

Roy's eyes sparkled.

With the Mystery Hall, he already had a much higher starting point than the other Secret Peepers.

He is going to get stronger.

even.

Sequence 0, true god!
While he was thinking about it, he felt a sharp pain in his head.

Roy understands——

My spirituality is about to be exhausted and I can no longer stay in this mysterious palace.

After a thought, he withdrew from the mysterious palace.

It may be difficult to go home.

"Starting today, I am Roy Green."

Going back to reality.

There was a strange tinnitus in Roy's ears. He looked up and saw that the books in the room seemed to come alive, and the words inside came out and rushed towards him one by one.

Weird murmurs sounded in my ears.

It should be that his spirituality has declined, which has led to the decline in the ability of the mysterious house, so that he once again heard the indoctrination of the hidden sage.

In addition, he also saw some chaotic auras.

Do not!
Meditation idea.

Roy woke up suddenly. He hadn't even used meditation yet.

He quickly closed his eyes, imagining something that didn't exist in his mind——

A strange ball of light.

After resting for a while, the tinnitus and knowledge activation disappeared.

At this moment, he could feel the changes in himself.

The first is that my memory is stronger. Although I don’t have photographic memory, it is much stronger than in my previous life.

Second.

He could feel that his spirituality had become much stronger.

This also proved his guess——

As the hidden sage's message said, he has become half a secret peeper.

"The Secret Peeper."

"Fortunately, I have a mysterious palace that can filter out the indoctrination of the Hidden Sage, otherwise I might have gone crazy today."

Roy couldn't help but sigh——

In a world like Mystery, after ordinary people have access to extraordinary abilities, it is already very difficult to just survive.

Fortunately, I have my own secret palace.

Although many memories are blocked or intercepted in reality, some basic knowledge has not disappeared, such as the "acting method" and the three laws.

"Hopefully Lado survives."

"Otherwise I'm going to the Nighthawks for tea."

"No, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with going to drink tea."

Nighthawks belong to the Church of the Night, but they were formerly followers of the God of Steam and Machinery, otherwise they would not have applied for the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Hoy University.

however.

If you join the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery, you'd better minimize your contact with that god——

He had a vague feeling that the "Mysterious Palace" was unusual.

that thing.

Maybe it's an existence that even the gods would covet.

Roy's face was serious.

Tomorrow I'll go see if Lado comes to class.

If you don't come to class.

Lado either sent it or became a covert lunatic.

There is no need to report it yourself, the Church of Steam may take action.
