The Unnamed God. I'm really Not a God You Guys!

[How did you two even enter?]

*Shrug*

*Acting innocent*

"How?!"

[Are the guards still alive at least?]

*Nod*

"These are official guards there is no way they could get killed so easily!"

I mean yes, but at the same time the unicorn has unlocked the title of Destroyer of Skeletons for sure. Guards do have bones. It wouldn't surprise me seeing them get fucked up easily. I just hope this won't come back to bite me in the ass.

I just hope I don't get jailed for this.

[Refrain from doing this in the future, please. I don't want them to come for my head.]

And now the unicorn is posing heroically. Something about this demeanor tells me whoever comes after me will be the ones to suffer. This is bad.

[No random violence, alright?]

*Nod*

Alright, that should do the trick for now.

[Alright, I'm following you.]

And thus our party makes its way inside. Surprisingly this place seems relatively empty. The occasional librarian stares wide-eyed as a donkey and a wolf proceed to walk inside.

This must make for a strange picture for sure haha.

Oh well, it can't be helped. These guys are awesome, but a bit too clingy. It is almost as if they were afraid I would run away from them. Then again I do tend to get lost easily so I can somewhat understand them. Like right now If I was asked the way back to the Moon Keep, I wouldn't know it.

"Here we are."

He sits behind a counter. It seems to be a special desk for book copying. I am saying this because of the ink and various pieces of paper all over the place. That and the half-finished manuscripts.

"This is where I used to work most of the time. Copying the books we have for the wealthy and powerful to get a personal copy. Most of them do not really care about it and just want to brag about owning something rare."

[Makes sense.]

"Let me see this book. *picks it up* Oh wow it seems to be the basic edition of the beast compendium. Except it contains personal notes from Eternal Ice himself it seems. You could totally sell this! Well, he might kill you if you do it haha."

[Are the notes that valuable?]

"From browsing it quickly I'd say the notes themselves are nothing special. It is more the fact that it is a personal possession of a tamer that might just become extremely strong in the future. He already has many fans you know."

[I take it you are not one of them?]

"Indeed. I respect the guy, but I can't bring myself to idolize him. At some point, I might just become as strong as him. He is but a man. Ah sorry, I don't mean to badmouth your teacher at all."

[Don't worry I understand. Idols are nothing but people at the end of the day.]

"Alright, glad you understand. Let's read this and…"

Just as he's about to start a hoof stops him in his tracks. The unicorn moves the book towards herself.

"This beast compendium is made to be as accurate as possible; discrepancies are however possible as species are constantly evolving. Do refer to this edition as reference material but please do use your own judgment."

"Y-your donkey can talk!"

SEE!

I'm not the only one! I knew that is the expected reaction! I am not crazy haha!

[And read apparently.]

"And read?! How?! How did you manage that?! Did you use some kind of treasure on it? Is it some secret taming technique?! Just how?!"

What should I tell him? I am truly not sure …

"Shut up human I am trying to read here. Do not disturb or I will have to get rid of you!"

"…"

[…]

And thus continues the live reading of the beast compendium. My companion completely flabbergasted and me listening attentively.

The more this goes on the more I realize that this thing just lists all creatures that exist. It is trying to be as exhaustive as possible, with the habits and food preferences included.

There is no way I will remember all of that. It is kinda similar to when you browse a wiki for info about something random. Sure it's interesting and all but you will likely forget most of it over time.

I guess this thing would work well as a reference material before a big mission or something. Boss fight incoming? What is that monster weak to? Prepare accordingly.

There is only one issue with that is that the monsters with the longest entries are the rank 2 ones. I mean even Wolfie can get rid of those somehow.

What is the point in taming such a weak one? Labor? I am just traveling at the moment. For fun? I already have Wolfie following me around and that is enough for me. Becoming a more knowledgeable beast tamer? This is not my goal; I just want the certificate.

The more she reads the more I feel like this is kind of a waste of time. But then I need to finish this before I can learn some more stuff.

I wonder If there are multiple ways to become one. In this one story I knew there was the conventional way to pass exams for professions and the extremely troublesome one. It just turned out that for the MC the second option was actually easier because of his circumstances.

Maybe I would be in a similar boat. After all divine energy is hard to use but also kinda OP not gonna lie. So far, I can use it mostly to scout and defend myself with a tiny bit of offensive power. Only this has allowed me to even fight rank 3 creatures. Well, there was also that one time with the bone dragon, but I only succeeded with support from the mage.

Right, how strong was that thing anyway? Was it a rank4? Perhaps it was a rank 3.5 since it was already dead?

[Can you look up bone dragon in there? I want to know the rank of that thing we killed.]

*Sounds of a librarian choking on his own saliva*

Will I finally know it or will it remain a mystery?
