After Zain sorted all the books to one side, he began trying to build a house.
It turned out he wasn't very good at it—every time he thought he'd built it correctly, it would crumble.
He tried for days, but no matter what he did, the house always fell apart.
Eventually, he gave up on building a house and made a hammock under a large tree to sleep in.
The forest had every fruit and vegetable found on Earth.
After a month, Zain decided to read some of the books.
His days followed a routine: wake up, eat, try to build a house, watch it crumble, sleep, and repeat.
After hours of reading, he finished a book.
The book was titled [The Structure of the World.]
Apparently, all races in this world existed.
Dragons, Elves, Dwarves, Druids—but there weren't many left; they were almost extinct. Fairies (Fae) were the same. Demons, Beastfolk, Angels (servants of the gods, few in number), and humans, of course.
Other races existed, but one group was collectively referred to as "Monsters": Undead, Lizardfolk, Merfolk, Orcs, Goblins, Trolls, and Ogres.
Unsurprisingly, the demons were at war with humans.
This world had 13 months, each ending on the 30th day. There were no weeks or days of the week.
Since Zain arrived when the sun was at its peak, it meant it was the 15th day of Sunstand. 33 days had passed since he'd arrived, so today was the 18th of Highflame.
Zain paused, frowning at the book.
"Wait… why are there missing pages?" he muttered.
According to the book, there were currently four continents, twelve kingdoms, and one empire. One continent belonged to the demons, another to the dragons.
"That means this isn't all of them… there are torn pages. Did he do this on purpose and leave a clue? But why?" Zain wondered.
Afterwards Zain read a lot of books and after 18 months, he has read everybook. Which means it's been 19 months he's been in this month. 1 year 6 months.
Apparently, the hero was hailed and ended up becoming the emperor.
"Huh, who could imagine the emporer defeated the 7 demon lords and the Demon Overlord." Zain said in shock.
Zain read every book.
[The wizard who was a mage]
[The Hero of Humans]
[The Emporer Saved The Human Race]
[The Missing Princess]
[The Runaway King]
[The Mercenary King]
[Basic of Magic]
[How to be an instructor without any qualifications]
[How to make a woman chase you]
And so on.
He read every book—both the boring ones and the good ones.
After that, he began talking to himself.
To avoid feeling alone, he created imaginary friends in his mind.
After a long time, he summoned his sword from his forearm and began training. He performed 7,500 slashes a day:
2,500 horizontal slashes, 2,500 vertical slashes, and 2,500 diagonal slashes.
He kept up this training for 15 days, then rested for three days before increasing the count to 15,000 slashes a day:
5,000 horizontal, 5,000 vertical, and 5,000 diagonal slashes.
He maintained this routine for 35 days, followed by seven days of rest, before stopping entirely for 20 days. By then, two months had passed since he began the slashes, followed by 20 days of complete inactivity.
After those 20 days, he resumed training and continued for 11 months, taking a break every five days to rest for one full day.
By then, he had completed 13 months of basic slash training, a full year. That meant he had been on the island for 32 months and 20 days.
Two years, six months, and twenty days.
For the next year, Zain trained in shadow boxing. He tried to do things he saw on TV in his past life because he wasn't a fighter at all.
He practice every techniques he read in the book. He trained every techniques and after 2 years of perfecting every techniques he read. So the first year he practice basic fighting and the next year he tried to practice every techniques that was return on the book but luckily it looks like every techniques that belong to any family or noble families were torn pages.
So he didn't steal any techniques that belong to any families but scraps that nobody wanted to learn. So it's been 4 years and 7 months since he's been in this island.
For the next year, Zain tried to create his own marital art and swordsmanship which he failed in that year.
The following year, Zain focused on creating his own martial art and he succeeded. He called it Dawnbreaker Martial Art.
After mastering his own arts, he focused on creating his own swords styles or swordsmanship.
He took also a year to perfect his own style which he then called it Dawnbreaker Sword Styles or Sun Styles. So it's been 7 years and 9 months since he's been in this island.
The next month, Zain had a mental break even though he can't have a mental break down because of his racial trait. He's mind crumble and since he was alone on the island, no one could help him.
[A/N: it's sad. No one is there to help you in a moment of need 😥]
Zain's trait tried to help him but kept failing. Eventually, the sword summon itself and flew straight to the heart of Zain.
Zain died after the sword stabbed him.

[1st POV of ?????]
Where am I? Who am I?
"Oh, what a cool blade and it's a Katana at that."
Who said that?
Am I even alive? What's Life?
What's happening to me?
"Oh, there's an engravings on the blade."
Who keeps talking?
"[Peak-Edge Blade - Akrathgöfði] I can understand what's written because of the trait."
What did he say? Akrathgöfði
I guess that's me.
"Man, you're so dark black. What's that colour's name? Yeah I know... Ventablack, the colour that absorbs light."
So my name is Akrathgöfði and I'm a blade.
"Ahh man I can't call you Akrathgöfði. That's too long and tiring. How about I call you Rath? Yeah Rath."
Yeah Rath I like that.
"Nice to meet you Rath, I'm Lucian Zain von Dawnbreaker"
Yeah Nice to meet you Z
[3rd POV- Rath]
Afterwards Z did nothing except read books after books like he's on a rush.
Now he's practice sword slashes and trying to improve. He keeps practicing and practicing.
He just increased his training and still does the same thing. Over and over.
Now he's trying to create he's own styles but it looks like he doesn't know what he's doing.
Did his hair colour change? Now he's trying to focus on a single style with multiple arts and he has perfected it.
He moved on to the next, trying to focus on the other style with multiple forms and he has perfected it too.
It looks like the surroundings has been destroyed but this island is weird or is Z weird.
He's hair change colour again and the surrounding got destroy. It looks like it's affecting the natural healing of nature. Almost about 50 km radius was destroyed.
His mind is a mess. He's crumbling.
He's in a lot a pain.
He's suffering.
'I gotta help'
'I don't want to see him like this'
'he's my friend, my partner'
'I can't watch it anymore'
Raph summoned itself and flew straight to the heart of Zain.
Zain died after the sword stabbed him.
Raph had killed Zain.
