-Sytah POV-
It's been about 2 days since I came to this world and I'm currently laying in bed, and I must say my previous understanding of the world has been completely shattered, I had at first tried to act like a child to get information out of the adults but had been seen through instantly. There was no need to do so as angels were a closed-off race and everyone considered each other family, so if I wanted information I could just ask.
My caretaker which's name is Elizabeth had told me that my race, angels were born through the reincarnation pool and kept their original personalities and such. According to what she had said angels couldn't die as long as the reincarnation pool exists. When an angel dies they would simply be born again but without their memories.
Since then I've made sure not to mention anything about my memories nor about how I was a human, not that I was planning to do so in the first place.
Unlike what one would have thought angels are a proud race that does not bow their heads to any "god", we are simply another race on this world. Although everyone seems proud of their angel race, I assume there's a good reason for it.
I've also come to realize that I have some unfound love for everyone here, it's quite an odd feeling... After all, being alone for so long tends to dull one's emotions so having a strong new feeling to protect everyone here doesn't sit right with me. I assume this is some kind of spell that's been put on me since I fell asleep or since I was born. How do I know it's a spell? There's angels flying around for god's sake!
I've asked Elizabeth about magic but she simply smiled and said: "when your older, child" Which didn't help at all as some angels were in their 60s and looked like teens, so her definition of older could be anything. Anyway, she mentioned afterwards that I'll soon be attending a class with my 3 brothers and sisters which I met on my first day.
Although I don't want to interact with children, the kid with blonde hair and green eyes seemed smarter than the rest along with this "love spell" I've been given he doesn't seem too bad. The rest of the kids looked ordinary if you don't count the fact that a newborn is emo while the other is lazy as a sloth.
I get out of my bed and head downstairs to see Elizabeth putting our lunch on the dining table, after saying my greetings I sat down and wait for her to finish setting up while thinking about what my plans for the future are.
I've already decided that by all means, I'll learn magic, who wouldn't want to know how to make fireballs appear out of thin air? For now, I've been expanding my knowledge of my surroundings and other information sadly my knowledge is limited to this small utopia called heaven.
I've also been training my body since my first period of alone time. I can't exactly call it training though as I can do 100 pushups without breaking a sweat so unless I can figure out how to train myself efficiently or find some sort of weight I'll be forced to leave it for future me. 'I need more info, there should be a library here'
After Elizabeth finished setting up we started to eat an all-vegetable meal, after finishing my meal I ask her where the library is and she told me to ask a random angel to lead me 'gee shucks thanks for the advice' I grumble to myself while thanking her outwardly and leaving the house.
-10 minutes later, at the library-
'Horrible' this is my only thought as I walk into the library, never had I thought someone could talk for 10 minutes straight while getting barely any response, the nastiest part was that I couldn't tell him to shut up cause this damn spell made me feel guilty.
"Phuuuu" I exhale to get alleviate my stress a bit while making a mental note to learn magic a bit faster and get rid of this spell sooner rather than later.
I walked deeper into the library, but it was different from what I expected. Instead of having large shelves with countless books, there was nothing besides a desk with a man with a 10ft door behind him. The huge churchly exterior of the library was completely different from its interior.
The man had slicked-back brown hair glasses and a strangely sharp face for an angel, reading a book. Assuming he's the librarian I walk up to him and speak "ah excuse me Mr..." I say in the most polite voice a 2-day old can muster, after looking at me for a second he spoke "...Daniel, we angels do not have last names" he then put his book down and said "you are Sytah, correct? Hmm, tell me what do you wish to acquire from the library?" he says while looking me up and down.
"If possible I'd appreciate it if I could get books on angel biology, content on geography and books on history. Daniel." I say while debating whether I should ask for books on magic too.
With a flick of his wrist, 4 different books make a bang sound on the table he picks his book back up and asked in a bored tone "will that be all?"
'Bruh... Fuck it not as I'll get in trouble for asking'
"Actually sir I was wondering if it would be possible to get books on magic too".
Without saying a word or looking at me another book appears and lands on top of the other 4 books.
"You have a month to return those books." he said seemingly tired.
After picking up all 5 books and thanking the librarian I walk out. Surprisingly not all angels are extroverts.
-Daniel POV-
'These newborns are getting weirder and weirder' I thought to myself, I was quite shocked when that blonde kid Zerach came in asking for a variety of books but now a second one???
'I know newborns are born with their previous personalities but is it possible to be born with your wits too?' I questioned myself. "Haaaa, I guess I'll ask Samael about it" I mumbled before going back to my masterpiece of a book Icha Icha paradise.
-POV END-
it's been 5 minutes since I returned home and started reading about magic or as described in the book as Divinity, 'the book depicts divinity as a stronger and more abundant version of magic' I couldn't help but grin at this info if what's said here is true aren't I just a lucky bastard?? The beginning of the book seemed to be bragging about how much better divinity is compared to other forms of energy such as magic and aura.
I continued reading the book for about 30 minutes until I closed it, 'sadly the book doesn't show any methods on how to use it nor how to feel it' I was slightly down but I understood why they wouldn't write down how to use such a versatile power and then throw it in a library.
After finishing up on the magic book I moved on to the history book called angel history part 1, and holy shit was there a lot of words. I skipped to the last page and saw that there were 700 pages and almost cried.
'Shitttt can I really do this? I want to get strong and all but 700 pages of history? AND THIS IS ONLY PART 1?' I thought to myself, 'I probably died in my last life due to my laziness so how could I do the same in a world with angels and magic?' I convinced myself while opening the book's first page and started reading.
-20 minutes later-
"ARGHHHH THIS IS DEFINITELY IMPOSSIBLE" screamed Sytah as he threw his book on the floor, little did he know history books would come to haunt him in his dreams and be the biggest opponent he'll ever have to face.
