[ 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
The decision to direct the tip into the bay proved to be both right and wrong. The wave, which would have hit the coiling dragon island, then wrecked the coast line was broken out of its path. However, the arrow has become a cyclone of water, rising the already gigantic height of the thousand meter high sea into a single whirlpool taller than the dragon horns. They would be submerged, and pulled in to the sea with more than thousands of kilograms of force. If that water touches them, they will be minced meat ! His grandfather, grandmother, mother and little sister were standing atop the hill, looking at the swirling pool of water around them in utter shock. The cyclone is two meters taller than the place by two meters. Only the lighting rod is taller than the whirling water pool. He levitated all of his family up without hesitation. The water is closing in on him. He pushed a small bubble up and around him using water manipulation, but his mana is low ! Water is too strong ! Fo
Eric lifted his arm, aimed at the fish. He only had one chance at this. The plate sank once more. However, this time, the fish had more than enough mana to pull the water up. It lined up with Eric, a spectral water shark roared in the water behind it. Just as the beast was about to swallow him, Eric fired a single shot, straight into the beast’s mouth with his gun. The next moment, it’s as if the time had stood still. The blue fish, swimming through the ocean like the king of the sea, vanished in bubbles piece by piece. The gigantic swirling pool around the island kept it’s shape despite the death of calamity beast, rising in height with each growing minute. Air around their family stood static, as they looked up the rising water wall with dread. As the water pressure built, the basin plate sank lower and lower in the ground, conversely, the height of the dragon horn mountain rose. Eric and family felt like they were on a gigantic bull rider machine with how badly the mountai
It was still raining heavily. Eric set up a tent one more time. A bigger and sturdier one - whose only disadvantage is being ugly. It’s not even fugly like a pug, it’s plain ugly like a plastic boat. Yet, it’s rain resistance is top notch, it came with a dry flooring of about a palm tall. Eric set up a water collector on one side, collecting the rainwater. At this height, they can drink it directly. His mother started cooking right away. Eric fiddled in the corner with setting up a diesel generator. His grandfather has gotten through to the old man on the island town, and informed them that they won’t need a rescue. All the same, the government is sending a medical team to check up on them. They still wore the oxygen nebulizers, but removed their life jackets. Mimi has long since came out of her child bag, and she is fast asleep in her own little bed. They all changed their clothes, had a bath, then, drank warming medicine brewed by his grandmother. The generator was up and runn
