Francoise, Captain Israel, and I headed back towards the camp. And as soon as we arrived, the ship was slowly forming its original shape compared to the last time I saw it. It was supposed to be torn apart. But right now, thanks to Azure’s and the pirate’s help, the vessel had its walls fixed and the bottom part patched up.I still couldn’t get used to the square-shaped moon paired with triangular stars scattered on the night sky. There were no birds that flew above our heads, since this was an isolated island. But the pirates feasting and celebrating our first night was something we should be proud of. The ocean breeze kissed our skin, and the waves crashing not far from here created a fine musical tune. As we drew close to the campfire, the chilling touch of the gale slowly vanished and turned into a warm gust of air coming from the flames. My tensed muscles finally relaxed. And although my body was nearly at its limit, I forced myself to move and tried finding my sister among the

A couple of days, specifically thirteen days, went by in a breeze, and somehow… my body went into shape. It didn’t just form muscles and made me healthier. I looked like a fucking muscle builder. Okay, that was a bit of an exaggeration, but I was a new man with tanks in both of my arms. And my stamina improved. Before, I could only run that much, and I found myself gasping for air. But not right now. After doing this for a few days, nearly for two weeks, I finally got the hang out if. And all those challenging routines finally kicked in me. I was dubious at first, unsure if the results would betray me. But it didn’t. It turned out, every little bit of training Captain Israel had passed on me was something I should cherish. And since the day was longer in Kepler, it made me use my time more efficiently than on Earth. That wasn’t the only thing that changed. “Think fast, Arata!” Captain Israel shouted, and threw a bunch of gravel from the ground. But instead of running as a fucking ba

After saying those words, the pirates raised their hand-made weapons and performed a battle cry of their lifetime. Nobody rejected Captain Israel’s offer. And everyone claimed we were sailing the same boat, literally and metaphorically. As soon as the chanting ended, Captain Israel told me that I should follow her to some place in the boat that nobody could hear us. I accepted her request and went along with it. Within a couple of moments when we were finally alone, Captain Israel returned my gaze and uttered.“I’m sorry to drag you into this… But I need your help.” Captain Israel then averted her gaze and watched the pirates celebrate as they prepared themselves the battle of their lifetime. She then returned her look to me and continued, “I can’t do this without you. I’m asking you this not because we have a contract or your a slave… guest or anything. I’m asking as someone who cares about these pirates. They are the only ones I have.”I… remembered saying those words to myself… “Ki

[Congratulations! You have now used [Corsair]! You have now access to lightning abilities, coming from the pirate thug!] An alert popped up in front of me. It came from my system.I could not use the lightning power to move as fast as the thunder because I didn’t own the spell. I just stole or copied a portion of it. But if I really had to, maybe I could test my limit and see through my capabilities as a corsair. However, it might prove to be a challenging feat to do. If I could use it to boost my movement speed, there was a chance I could not control my power, and that skill could lead me to my doom. So I chose to use it as a weapon besides as a utility magic. And it served its purpose. At least, that was what I had thought.Once I absorbed and copied the lightning spell, just like before, I had access to all electric abilities that this girl had. But the spells she could not learn were not passed by to me. Although this restricted me from tapping the woman’s potential, I had an ent

I thought that we had them within eighteen minutes. As soon as the monkeys arrived, another three minutes passed by, and now we were down to fifteen minutes. It was not bad. And not a single boss bit us from behind. But I had thought wrong. The battle had just begun. The horde of boss-like monsters finally entered the fray and created tidal waves enough to move the boat in a zigzag manner. These crashed waves created by the beasts even attempted to move us back from where we had come from, away from our destination. Thankfully, Captain Israel got us covered as she steered the boat. I got her back and protected Captain Israel as she put her hands on the steering wheel and navigated her way towards our original path. However, we also had to deal with the raging marine fiends below the water. And they didn’t come friendly. It would take me a few hours or minutes to describe every monster that appeared in the ocean. But I could name a few. The kraken and the megalodon boss also appear
