Summary

The Library of Another World

In the future, there existed a mysterious place known as the "Time Library" somewhere on Earth. This library contained all the knowledge of the past, present, and future. However, only chosen boys and girls could reach it. They were called the "Children of Learning" and had a special mission.

One day, a lonely boy named Takeru stepped into the library as if guided by a mysterious light. There were books lined up that he had never seen before, and spirits of wisdom busily passed through the mist. Overwhelmed by the scene, Takeru felt drawn to a book and picked it up. It was titled "How to Change the Fate of the Future."

When he opened the book, images of the future appeared before Takeru’s eyes. He saw the people around him facing difficulties and suffering. Takeru realized that his ignorance was causing them pain. Thus, he decided to seek help from the spirits of the library and began to study to gain knowledge. Every day, he devoured books from various fields and sometimes engaged in discussions with the spirits, growing through the experience.

As time passed, Takeru grew remarkably and acquired wisdom. He finally found the exit of the library and resolved to return to the real world. When he returned, he was met by people who were seeking help using what he had learned. Takeru moved forward to save them with his own strength, becoming a light that illuminated the future, holding close the teaching, "A boy who does not learn will not know in old age."
