  • Hm. Not the worse of adventures you could go on.

  • Oh, make no mistake. This is definitely dangerous, but not so much as…say… getting trapped in a child’s mind.

  • Oh well, let’s start!

  • First of all, choose your Library wisely.

  • Some hide the secret to the very elixir of everlasting life, some contain visual liquid death, and so much more. I do not care which one you choose; just be sure that whichever one you choose, it is a true Library. Many use the illusion of a Library to cover up traps, and so many would love to capture such a lovely soul like yours.

  • How to ensure that it is are a true Library? Ask for safe passage. If they deny it, it is a true Library and has given you a warning; it’s contains are not for your eyes. Do not feel abashed or upset; Libraries are clever and observant. They know everything.

  • If you are allowed in, do not let down your guard yet. This may still be a trap.

  • They will undeniably ask you to put down your name and purpose down. The purpose doesn’t matter but it is considered good form to write it down. The name, however, is essential.

  • First of all, do not give up your true name.

  • The staff nearby, after reading over your listing, will frown and shake their head. “This not your true name,” they will say. Affirm this. They will not press you for it.

> If the staff had not said the above, cease all conversation and close your eyes. This is not a Library. Ignore any and every plead you hear to open your eyes. They have baited your Head into their embrace and the only way out is through your mind.

> Once everything has gone silent, open your eyes. You will find yourself at home. Where, I cannot say. This depends on you and you alone. All I can say is that you will be safe here.

  • If the staff had said the above, you may relax. This is a true Library, you are safe here.

  • Librarians may approach you; they will be wearing a small crescent badge. Do not worry, although they may seem intimidating. These are the Keepers of the gates of Heaven and Hell and have been cursed with knowledge. Be respectful to them; they have sacrificed themselves for this universe. But they don’t seek to harm you. Why would they? You are small, normal, insignificant-

  • Safe. You are safe in here and are free to pursuit whatever you want. You need only think it and it will come to you.

  • When you are done with your visit, check your mental state. Do you need a poison to allow yourself forget what you’ve already learnt? Speak the truth.

> If you do, inform a Librarian. They will understand and give you their badge vial. Drink the liquid inside. It is for your own good. Do not wonder where they went; they are at peace now.

> I have nothing more to say to you, Librarian. You know everything now, and you know why it cannot fall into the wrong hands. There is no more I can do to help you. But know this: You are loved, still.

  • If you do not need it, thank the Librarians and staff for their service and help, before asking them where’s the exit.

  • They will escort you outside, but do not turn around when you cross the threshold.

> If, at this point, you hear a voice asking if you would be interested in working there, say you will consider the offer. Leave afterwards, do not look back.

> If you make the choice to accept the offer, you will find yourself back in the Library as a member of staff whenever you fall asleep. You will be paid for your service.

  • If you had not accepted the offer/have not yet, you will be able to return to your normal life with the knowledge you have learnt.

  • Sometimes, you may have dreams of faceless figures asking you do you need a poison to allow yourself forget what you’ve already learnt?

  • The Library knows all. If you dream of this and have free will to say yes or no, it means the Library knows you are wavering. This is your choice to make; say yes or no. I wish you luck.

> If you have no free will in the dream and say yes, when you wake up, allow Them to take you. It is for the best. You know too much and will never be at peace, even if you do not know it.
