Volume 3PrologueFirst Person Point of ViewOwari’s Perspective________________After kidnapping the Empire soldier and interrogating him, I had heard the rumour spreading across the land. I had also found out the exact location where we could find the Lunar Blessing herb and future plans on how to use it.“I-I gave you everything I know, including the name of the next Captain!”‘Captain?’ I thought to himself, and pulled the poor Empire knight by his collar near to my face. “Say what? There’s a new Captain of the ocean… besides Captain Israel and Captain Blackbeard.”The rumour was… Captain Israel died in the hands of Captain Blackbeard. Captain Israel was the one who had technically saved and bought me some time for my wife, Elizabeth, and me to escape. But alas, it failed. Even though Captain Israel showed me some kindness, I still promised myself to kill every single pirate in front of me… until the end of the Kepler.“WHAT HAPPENED?!” I asked.But that was the extent of the Emp

Captain Arata was slightly worse than Captain Israel. But he had a unique ability. He could copy one’s spell… or even two, to his advantage. And if his enemy refused to cast any spells, Arata had already mastered a special technique from his sabre sword.[Congratulations you are now level 72!][Current stats: After becoming the Captain of the Abandoned Barnacle ship!][Character Name]: {Kazuto, Arata} [Title(s)]: {Master of the arts of Thievery} {Captain of the Abandoned Barnacle Ship}[Species]: {Human} [Occupation]: {Pirate} {Captain}[Age]: {19-year-old} [Class]: {Thief} {Pirate}[Level 72] {Next Level-> 0/81,210 Experience}[Stat points]-{0}[STR]- 66 [VIT]- 75 [MEN]- 49[DEX]- 64 [INT]- 58 [LCK]-69[DMG]- 55[M.

Captain Arata and the rest of his team were wandering for minutes… Those minutes turned into hours, and those hours turned into a few days. Thankfully, Captain Arata and his crew had not yet met anyone except for the reapers and other creatures lurking in this island. If those pirates from Captain Blackbeard’s faction arrived and harmed the Abandoned Barnacle, the ship itself would send a direct message to Captain Arata as well as Margarette and the rest of the pirates.The best opponents, for now, they handled were those aforementioned beasts, as well as the horrific environment. Thankfully, Kirameki continued following her big brother’s words and stayed on the sideline. Captain Arata couldn’t help but assign Francoise and the others to focus on saving Kirameki, since she was the only family member she had. Although this was selfish to the rest of the pirates, Francoise and Azure understood that Kirameki also helped the Horizon community, and it was natural for the rest of the pirate

The Black Grim Dragon’s Nest was notorious when it came to monsters. And dragons lurked in the area. Some people believed that these mythical creatures did not exist. Little did they know that these dragons were just slumbering elsewhere, specifically on this island.The Hydra was still a few miles away, so Owari had to walk more than what he had intended to. If the people behind his back created a base just a few kilometres away, Owari couldn’t help but to worry about their safety. He didn’t know what kind of spells awaited him against the dragon. Although Owari was confident enough with his skill, he didn’t want to waste any more time protecting the people behind him.So Owari made sure that the base the soldiers created was a few miles away. And just to be sure, Owari had also cast a protective spell, in case a random spell conjured by the Hydra would hit them.Not to mention, Owari was on a timer. Forty hours or one day was too much… But he knew that if a Hydra showed up, other mo

“Soldiers from the Kingdom… I should’ve known!”As soon as these soldiers noticed Captain Arata, they immediately attacked them with their firearms. Bullets rained above Captain Arata and his team as they had the high ground. Arata hastily commanded his team to run behind a barricade while he tried checking these soldiers from the Kingdom if they had spells they wanted to use against them.Woefully, they didn’t. These bastards of soldiers somehow relied on their guns and not on their mages. “Way to go, fucking Owari!” Arata cursed, and clicked his tongue. He wasn’t amused anymore.However… If Arata had to choose, he was probably pleased to see that these soldiers from the Kingdom were attacking, and not some kind of monstrous entity. If a gigantic creature appeared, for example, an arachnid, things would be pretty different. Monsters were dumb, but they weren’t stupid. Unfortunately, fighting against humans was a different story. And Arata knew he could fight these humans more than th
