Asgard was stuck in the voidless mass of the server reboot again, almost anxious for the servers to go back online. In these moments, in between the uploads, he felt free, like there was no one there to kill him, harass him, annoy him, defy him. At those moments, he felt like he was his own ruler, like he controlled everything.

With a flash of white light, the placement of data began. The ground from underneath the Fist Fighter's feet began to form, grain by grain. The sky was its synthetic blue instead of the non descript white. Buildings began to pop up here, there and everywhere. Non Player Characters' data slowly formed, from bottom to top, ready to take on the requests and complaints of player characters.

It was truly a spectacle to behold, watching a man-made universe being sculpted and formed before one's eyes. Asgard felt godlike for a moment, like he was a ruler of the game for mere milliseconds.

Then, as quick as it began, it was over.

Now, eager players were logging on through their ALTIMIT browsers. The Chaos Rings of the Chaos Portal were vibrant and never idle, transporting characters to their destinations.

Asgard turned around to see the building behind him, pristine and almost out of place with the rest of the Root Town. It was by far a monstrous area, almost as if it were a giant's residence, its runic inscribed marble shining in the sunlight. War banners laced with glowing golden cloth surrounded the building, giving off another dullened layer of shine to the newly made building.

Over time, things like this building would age, but the game would prevent that. For Asgard, that seemed like a reward in itself. He pulled a small sign out from his inventory, and hung it on a small lying pillar, almost like it was designed to go there. Not saying a word, the Fist Fighter placed the sign on the pillar and walked in.

Upon the note, it read:

<<Welcome all players, to the newly repaired Maneki Library. If you desire a break from slaying on the fields of battle, drop in for a story or two in the Rune Citadel. Also, the Valley of Legends, a place honoring players who have helped far beyond their limitations, is also open for the viewing public.

Enjoy.>>

(OOC: The Library currently has a new function! As a Library, it will now hold quests that have been completed that are too recent to be part of the Old Subplots, and are not part of the Main Plot string. In the future, such quests might be posted here and graded here, but for now, they will only be moved here.)
