Player Initiated 16 - Close Call
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

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

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
Player Initiated 19 - Message from otherworld
[ 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 lit

Before he could get even more surprised and entangle himself into a knot, a message came from the younger Eric again. { However, acquiring ownership does not mean activating. } { It seems they also have to activate the server by acquiring a server shard, no matter how small it is. } ( ??? ) He just touched earth and water , activated his abilities ? … Could he be that lucky ? ( I just activated without any shards ? ) Younger Eric went on a pause again. { It seems some broken worlds have server shards flying around in the air ! } { More weird a world is, more the distribution of these invisible server shards. } Eric was shocked to hear this. It seems today, his world view is about to shift… Shift more than on the day he met Ursula, a mermaid. ( How do you define weird ? ) Eric paused. { Does it look like most people have super powers ? } { Mysterious events happen all the time ? } { Legendary creatures are reality of the day ? } …...( Do mermaids count as legendary c

“ I found a dragon god temple, does that count ? “ Eric asked her. “ There’s a temple ? When did you find it ? “ The filming team asked in surprise. “ Today. It’s very hard to reach … only one person can go in at one time. “ Eric said, casting a glance at the documentary team. Surprisingly, there is no reaction to his words from the documentary team. ‘ Did they already know about it ? ‘ he mused looking at them. Before he could ponder further, Stevia spoke. “ Master Eric, can you guide me to the dragon temple ? I will pay generously for your guidance. “ Stevia said. Eric agreed distractedly. He is puzzled over the documentary team’s behavior. Why are they not interested ? Aren’t discoveries like this worth the highlight in the documentary ? They helped his grandfather buy the boat back, while taking initiative themselves. That means they wanted to help out his grandfather, right ? The best help they could provide now is to include a segment about this ancient dragon temple t

[ Ella ] : Why do you think the server owner is a male ? [ Ella ] : It could be female too. [ Stevia ] : The location is obscure and hard to reach. There are no females who fit the physical profile needed to reach the place. [ Ella ] : how can you look down on women as a woman yourself ? … …...Everyone ignored Ella’s spiel, and sent direct messages to Stevia, including the server lord Richie. Not that Eric knew any of this. He is more concerned about the filming team and their ulterior motives. He was the first to bring up evacuation when the initial news report about the hurricane was broadcast on the radio. The filming team tried to hum and haw, without directly saying they want the family to remain on the island. Eric ignored all their hints and pushed for evacuation. Finally, the director broke down. The director stated that he wanted the family to stay on the island in no unclear terms. Eric proposed signing one more addendum, with mandatory payment for any physical, medi

Their ATV skipped atop the water than it drove. That was the feeling. The vehicle kept jumping up with every bump, and the bumps were not small. If not for his increased dexterity, Eric would have both the vehicle and the people would have fallen by the roadside long since. They encountered a particularly large bump as they came up to the bamboo house. The ATV jumped as high as three meters, landing on the parking lot. ‘ plop ‘ ‘ klink ‘ There were two sounds from the vehicle. The tires burst, the wheel frame was broken. Eric did not care about that at all but pulled his grandfather out of the vehicle, then put the entire thing in the inventory. His grandfather looked like he had many questions, Eric ignored them all. “ We must hurry ! “ Eric pulled him by the hand. “ Mom, pick up Mimi. We need to go up the mountain ! “ Eric shouted as soon as he entered the home. His mother and grandmother had just taken a hot bath, changed their clothes to pajamas. He did not even give them ti
