[ FOUND YOU ] The message flashed in blood red color. Eric closed the console out of reflex. His grandfather knocked on the cabin door, telling him they are starting their return journey. He settled in the seat, lowering his posture, peeking through the sun tinted windows. ‘ There’s no bloody way he really found me. ‘ He opened the console once more. The message flashed in blood red. He did not touch the message, but the flashing green ‘ Tip ‘ icon. [ This is a broadcast type message. The message vanishes when host touches it. ] Eric calmed down. This message seemed to be sent by the level ten player Peter. So, it’s a scare tactic.If he were still on the Island, he would have jumped up in fright, giving himself away. He already escaped, so the message is of no great concern. If only he knew … ◆◇◆In the Island town … An hour later … Peter stumbled on to the pier with frayed pants and bites all over his body. He had no idea that a druid’s fighter plants are so tough. The li
Unless he can use the levitation skill on objects. No matter what, being able to hang an object at a height would be a useful life skill. At worst, he would use it to bait monsters. Eric observed the map. This time, he expanded the area of observation. Soon, Peter was visible, but not as the perfect three dimensional shape before, but as a red dot over a rough terrain. Currently, Map is at level four. Within fifty to thirty meter distance, the picture quality is mind blowing. With-in an hundred meter round eye, he could move this thirty meter pupil to observe in more detail. Outside the pupil, inside the hundred meters sphere of influence, the objects are displayed toned down, with rough three dimensional maps, identifying shape, with blurry features. Then there is the satellite view, where distance is not relative, only direction and enmity could be detected. Now, Peter is in the eye, but not within the pupil. He is pacing on the tallest building, seemingly doing nothing, but Eri
As the hoodie guy’s body dissipated in the air, a small skill ball dropped from the body. Eric swam as fast as he could, ignoring the sharks all over the place, grabbing the ball, then heading straight for the small crack inside the sea wall. His pathfinder ability shone in this short swim, allowing him to avoid sharks, as well as nab the skill ball. He breathed silently, with his nose barely a millimeter above water level. In front of his eyes, a concise map of eight inches is formed, showing the scene above. Around Peter Ho, a red circle is drawn, showing his area of influence. At the same time, a vertical red circle was drawn with him as center, then, it started spinning. The vertical red circle will cut through me, Eric realized as the circle started spinning slowly. He just had this feeling he would be dead meat the moment the red circle touches him. So, he slid sideways, attached himself to the crack as flexibly as he could while holding his breath. It felt like even his breat
Eric promptly woke up at three in the morning. The high tide will begin in half an hour, and they are going to set out. The opening of the bay on their island is like an elongated oval. As such, getting in/out is easier as the tide rises. Today, he and his grandfather were going to the island town to pick up the materials for construction. Once they joined the sea channel, they killed the engine and raised the sails. The morning breeze takes them all the way near Island town in exactly two and half hours. This breeze is almost as punctual as clockwork. His grandfather took a nap inside the cabinet. Eric opened the laptop. Their boat was equipped with a satellite receiver, so he has wifi and signals even on the boat. ‘ Map ‘ He called out. All around him, a hologram of blue sea lit up, extending up to ten meters. Eric flapped his hands, trying to zoom out. Every time he widened his arms then brought them together, the map region increased in size, showing all the areas covered in t
Stevia Mangrove looked at the quest icon that popped up at 2 am in the night, pissed as a cat whose tail was stepped on. If it were normal times, she would have clicked yes, no matter how angry she was, for the quest does not allow you to take any action within the player system without accepting or rejecting the quest. She has a player system with research talent. She thought her ability was trash, but fortunately, she was able to meet Peter Ho. Together, they cleared the quest that allowed her to change her job to druid. She was very thankful to him. In due course, she joined his server. However, from the time she did, his behavior was one eighty. It’s as if he was some sort of noble, and she was a peasant. Stevia would not have it, so she broke up with him. Peter is stingy, petty, worse yet, timid. He is like a little mosquito that just would not get out, but will not get near enough to get killed. So, she decidedly moved away to this small island. O
After he has cursed to his heart’s content, Trevor spoke normally, his face full of cold unbridled fury. “ Every last person in this universe has the right to accuse me of betrayal, Chieftain, but you do not. If not for your lazy incompetent spoiled arse failing to find the awakening altar, our tribe shouldn’t have to go to Tuna tribe at all. If you failed once, you should have gone twice, if you failed twice, you should have gone thrice. You should have gone on the altar finding mission every year, until you found it. However, look at you. You went once, you came back crying like a toddler at the slightest hint of trouble. As soon as the Tuna tribe showed up, you rolled down to lick their feet. What right do you have to accuse me ? “ Trevor hissed at him. Then, he slowly composed himself. “ If you want to keep being a chieftain, I suggest you keep licking the Tuna tribe’s tails properly. After all, though adopted, I am still a member of the Tuna tribe. A lowly goby like you should
Eric returned to his lounge chair completely unaware someone was setting sail with the sole intention of crushing him to pieces. He retrieved the three dimensional map of the ocean, kept casting ‘digitize’ at all the fishes he was seeing. When he got bored, he switched to the Disassembly game. He started disassembling all the trash appliances he received for spare parts. Then, shifted them all to inventory. He listed them for sale on the retail platform. Most of these appliances are out of date.Just like that, noon arrived. The noon sun is very hot. Fortunately, the island breeze is cool. The entire family laid down to rest inside the tent, including his grandfather. Eric fell into a deep sleep, the fatigue of the day catching up with him. ◇◆◇Fish swam peacefully in blue waters. Water gently lapped at his skin. There is only a slight opening in front of him to see, covered by corals and anemones. “ Ursula ! Ursula ! Where are you ?! Come out this instant, you little turtle ! You
“ I could do that ? Then … Okay. “ Ursula chirped happily. Eric nodded and put all the rest of the meat out, including the pythons and half of the dragon meat. The moment the octopus ate the dragon meat, it lit up, then shrunk into a small tennis ball sized creature. It leveled up countless times as it finished the rest of its meal. Ursula’s fish scale shirt gleamed with more and more luster as the little octopus ate more and more. “ You can stay here, and finish eating. Place marks of terra all over the seven oceans. That is my price. “ Eric told her, seeing as the feeding time is going to be long. Ursula bent ninety degrees to bow. “ Thank you, Apostle. Our tribe can live in peace now, thanks to your help. I will complete the task you gave me as soon as I finish feeding. “ she told him. “ There’s no urgency. Do it while combining it with life. I see you came here to be the savior of your tribe. Save your tribe first, then, you can finish the task little by little, as the circ
She rushed to the dragon horn the moment he said those words. Ursula extended her hand. Next moment a water piller the height of a hundred meters or so rose from the water. She moved the pillar around the ocean. On the shore, the filming team, who were slowly sailing in for the day, had the shock of their life when they saw the gigantic pillar. “ Film it ! Shoot ! Camera ! Camera ! Where are you ? “ The director scrambled, while the boat man started reversing the direction. “ Hey ! Hey ! We are not going back ! We can’t go back at this time ! “ the director screamed at the captain, but it was of no use. However, it was of no use in the end. The water pillar chased the boat all the way off the island, sending them back to the nearest Island town. Once they were out of the island’s periphery, the water pillar fizzed away in front of them. The Director wanted to return to the coiling dragon island. The captain of the boat refused no matter what, returning them to the island town.
