The World Library is a place established in the ancient times that consists of enormous archives containing records of all world knowledge.
The group meets the guardian of the library, a young girl with the ability to see the past and future who permits them to enter the library but warns that their deeds will be recorded and their actions will have consequences. Once inside, they learn that the Book of Origins, which explains the history of the world and the origins of the Shadow Wielders, is missing from the archives.
Our heroes decide to split up in search of the book and start to look individually through the archives. While Shu and the others search through the books, the young girl, Bouquet, assists them in their search. The group faces many challenges along the way, such as avoiding the giant monsters that guard the bookshelves.
After a few hours of searching, the group finds a book that reveals the origin of the Shadow Wielders. The book explains that long ago, there was a great war between humans and dragons. The dragons won the war against the humans, and they were forced to flee to another land, where they created Azure Dragon. In retaliation, humans created Shadow which they gave the power to control the shadows of living creatures.

Once they finally reach the top, they discover that a group of Shadow Wielders is already there.

The heroes, put up a fight against the Shadow Wielders, but they ended up cornered by their opponents. They come up with a plan to escape from the tower and regroup. Our heroes finally come up with a way to defeat the Shadow King, Nene. They have to split up and gather the remaining Dragons, or it will be too late.
In the end, the group successfully defeats the Shadow Wielders and retrieves the Book of Origins. As they leave the World Library, the young girl, Bouquet, tells them that although their actions would have consequences, they should not fear for their courage and determination. They leave the library and look forward to their next mission, which is to defeat Nene once and for all.
