Treasure hunting in endless ocean Catch Lantern fish
Neil was greedy for this divine crystal. After all, even with his limited knowledge, he could tell absorbing it would remove the shackles on his body. They absolutely needed this power now. However, he knew how much he missed his parents. That he burned all their pictures in a pique has been his greatest regret to this day. He could not take someone else’s father’s remnant that easily. He just could not wish that sort of emotional torture upon any one, not even his enemies. Thus, he asked once again. “ Orion ! This is your father’s last relic. Are you sure you do not want this ? “ Neil asked. Orion nodded his head confidently. “ I am my father’s last relic and most beloved memory. The Drow’s continuous survival is his last legacy. Stones and bones are not what makes an elf ! “ Orion explained in as simple words as possible to Neil. The words came as a shock to Neil. Yes, he was his parents' most beloved memory. Why did he forget that ? or … why was he never able to accept it
Treasure hunting in endless ocean First Homunculus
Despite their initial success at catching a lantern fish, it was clear the group effort was going to be hard. First, the elves are a loose army, after all, just months, they were villagers living in seclusion. They have little to no discipline. For the smallest amount of action in this lantern fish hunt, they need to step out of their hiding spots at the same time, press the button on lantern fish and retreat. On top of that, that pressure can’t be too much, otherwise the lantern fish explode like pressure sensitive bombs. The cocoon does have many places to hide, but first, they have to construct the alcoves to hide the elves and prisms to refract the light. It’s best if they could do something similar to laying a net on ground to catch pigeons. The crux of lantern fish is that one attack by them could break opponents formation, one successful attack by them could demoralize the entire army. Neil, unfortunately, does not have the skills to build something on such a grand scale
Treasure hunting in endless ocean The other Starbeast
Adele watched the history of lantern fish to the end. In the beginning, they were nothing but some luminous bacteria which reacted to mana. Others were sensory bacteria which reacted to the light. Yet others were plain planimals which had the strongest muscle memory. One fine day, a Mercity mermaid, and an avian came to their homes. They robbed them, after wards, put them in DNA of an mantaray. They were a bit hurt, but living in and on mantaray was also good. The fish swam slowly. They got exposed to more light, they had more muscles and they had more information to exchange with each other. Then, the mantaray was cross bred with a strange jelly fish. The true lantern fish was born then. From then on, with robot aided surgeries, and the specially spawned bacterias, lantern fish were developed, till they were as varied as the colors in the universe, and as prevalent as water in the ocean. But, then, the camera technology was found out. The lantern fish have become the hottest

Neil and Adele looked at each other. Just like that, telepathy started once more. “ She’s not lying ! but she’s definitely not telling it all. “ Adele grumbled inside, while her poker face was maintained brilliantly. “ She’s trying to send us on a wild goose chase. Buying time ?! “ Neil suggested. “ Not quite. “ Adele mused. Neil stayed silent. “ She wants to hurt us politically. The Drows are the most isolated and taciturn race in the world. If not for their complete annihilation, I bet they wont even talk to us. Sure, they treat us well, and they do help out with Merlin and Mona, but you must have noticed it too. They just do not have the same enthusiasm for life that we do. “ Adele opined. “ it’s extremely easy to press an opponent to do something, but to make them keep doing it, it’s nigh impossible. “ Neil tossed in another idea. “ Logically speaking, we are without any tools needed to make any sort of investigations on the space starbeast. We have to give up our two spac
Treasure hunting in endless ocean Enlightenment
While Sasha winterchild inspected and tried to absorb the mana of the barrier by herself, Neil opened his eyes and greeted a slightly brighter morning. He remembered the words of Sage from yesterday morning. Yesterday night, he still felt off about those words as he fell asleep. Now, thinking about those words once again, he suddenly had a revelation. He was looking at the world from an entirely wrong perspective. He had always thought Endless Ocean is a mix of real world and a game world, but that was wrong. It had never been anything but a real world. Look at the way things are done. All the events in the so-called game must be physically prepared. All the research and manufacturing must be done by some real beings, called gnomes. If he hadn’t realized that things in his inventory were not organized as he meant, he never would have known about gnomes. There are no auto replenish deals like the game. Even if there were, they were always followed by a physical netwo

Nadia Talhart, grand witch of valhalla, finally found a smith who could forge a wand thats capable of channeling her immense water mana. Caspian Hart, one of the sorcerer smiths escaped land of volcanoes, and arrived at their tower awhile ago. Soon after, they met the child of fate, Xena winterchild. Nadia had never seen a person who does not cower in face of her magical oppression until Xena, the assassin princess, and Caspian, the sorcerer smith. Looking at them, she decided, the time has come, for the repairment of wand of aqua, that could call a tsunami if need be. “ I am a man of little skills, my lady. If ever there is anything I can do with my limited abilities, I would definitely do it for you. “ Caspian assured her. Nadia seemed to be waiting for these words. “ Those words are dangerous, Sir Hart. You are a sorcerer smith, are you not ? “ she asked him, just throwing an arrow into the dark. After all, Caspian bore the mark of apprentice smith, but not the mark of gradua
Treasure hunting in endless ocean Soul Eater
‘ An Oracle ‘ is the only word Adele heard before she felt a trace of anger overwhelm all her emotions. Adele kept her face devoid of any emotions, but inside, she was reeling. From the moment Sage has been separated from her, Adele has been feeling off. First, it was the dreams. She dreamt of a great white dragon, and a girl riding it, manipulating ice like Elsa. Only ,the girl was far more powerful than Elsa. She could raise a castle from the ground. She could level mountains and freeze the very sea. Then, there were knights. Knights like in medieval times, on campaigns of war. The dreams always ended as she tried to walk over to a tree with white bark and red leaves. She saw the slightest hint of a parchment and vellum, then she awoke. Adele is absolutely sure that parchment is significant. Rudy bore some resemblance to the girl in the dream. Does that mean the girl is real ? Adele stood stock still wondering the answer to that question. If that girl was real, then so
Treasure hunting in endless ocean Snuggle
It’s been a while since they slept in the children’s rooms. Mona and Merlin both were being entertained by Drow kids. They played blast the ice ball, stole the princess and god knows what else. Drows rarely have children among them. Even if they were, they could never be as exuberant as Merlin and Mona. The Drows were recovering from an emotional catharsis, their magic is at their lowest. This finally gave them a way to let their emotions run their course. Merlin is more than capable of snuffing their fire balls, Mona is far more sturdy than her deceptively weak princess change skill implies. Instead of children feeling abandoned by their parents, it’s Adele who was feeling the abandonment complex. Moreover, she had too many dreams yesterday night. She wanted a peaceful night tonight. Alas ! it was not to be. The moment she closed her eyes, she was off in her dreamland. At first, she was walking in the dark, on a mirror lake kind of place. Then, she saw two women there, a

Reborn Drows
While Adele and Neil were discussing these details, Orion and his subjects were busy as bees. The flame crystals brought back by Neil had been handed over to the Drow king. At the time, the most vibrant flame crystal was placed in a cradle, in the center of an altar. Five Drows surrounded the altar, looking at the circle pointedly. Orion stood in the head position, the five Drows started chanting. After a time, the Drows stopped chanting and looked at the center, where a flame crystal was placed. Their eyes are full of expectation. Nothing happened. The light of hope in their eyes dimmed at the result. Their gazes turned to Orion, as if asking if they should continue. “ Continue. “ Orion ordered. The king looked on emotionlessly, despite the turmoil going on inside his head. Orion’s newly acquired ‘King’ title is not steady yet. Most of the old leaders did not agree to support Neil, but Orion just pushed it through, by the virtue of providing food and a safe place for Drows.

Sasha woke up quite late. she was lying on the furs in front of fireplace, like a kitten. She hadn't slept this well for a long while. It’s almost like a dream. Perhaps it was, given Adele was standing in the corner, staring straight at Sasha. Sasha wondered why she was able to sleep this well in the middle of a battle field. The answer was surprisingly simple. Because she was surrounded by family, and friends. Valerie fought with her life on line to protect Sasha, despite being a Snorc. Dan … he smelt like home. There are no other words for it. He was her only family, until Rudy arrived here, and probably would be her only light, when the world becomes cold and dark. Dan and Valerie's predictions about Snorc peace treaty being a ruse came true. Even so, the Snorc attack came far too fast. So much so, the defense could not even gather compleetely. Dan’s arm is still holding hers as woke. He held her hand on one side, and the hilt of the sword on the other side. W

The smallest crack
Neil’s heart filled with unspeakable dread when he looked at the invisible shield membrane slowly covering up the temple. Every cell of his body rejected that shield with all of its being. Neil acted involuntarily. “ Retreat ! “ he screamed at the top of his lungs. His desire to take every last one of the elves with him powered his next spell. ‘ Collect ‘ Neil commanded with all of his being. His magic exploded, pulling all the nearby flame crystals, every last one of the flames whooshed out, becoming a red crystal as they rushed towards Neil. Neil, with Merlin on his back, rushed as fast as he could towards the portal that’s becoming unclear by the second. The space has become destabilized, and the time space continuum broke as the shield continued to cover the flame temple. The black flame in front of the priest is still burning, the remaining four Tomoe of the flames are still alit, but all the other flames are gone. It’s only then Neil understood the scale of

Neil retrieved his spear, changed it into a chinese slaughterer broadsword, with about three foot pole and one and half foot blade. He twirled the blade slightly, the necks of three priests were cut off. [ Experience + 5 ] [ Experience + 5 ] [ Experience + 5 ] At the same time, Merlin was not silent. He stabbed a priest, then twirled and beheaded another. [ Experience + 10 ] The message popped up. Like that, Neil and Merlin danced in the courtyard. After their decimation of fifty priests, the priests ran away, and grouped together among them. They went for the necklaces of the fire priests, coalescing the necklaces with their own. “ Merlin ! Collect the red necklaces. “ Neil commanded. The next moment, the mana blade in Merlin’s hands vanished. He stuck to Neil’s back, while Neil cut off the head, Merlin collected the necklace. They worked tirelessly, decimating the priests. However, there was no end to them. “ Blluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrroooo

Event Dungeon begins
While setting up camp meat just retrieving their modular home for Neil and Adele, it meant something far more complex for Drows. All the space mancers came together with their latest catch of space crystals. Then, they set up a hexagonal space barrier around a gigantic field, isolating the space from the time worm. Cosmos gave an unnecessarily long explanation, which could be summarized into ‘ this way, we don’t get sucked into the time worm’s belly accidentally ‘. The memories are cut off when Caspian and Xena enter the temple - however, at this point, Neil has come to a conclusion about one thing. They never entered the time worm’s inside. They only fought in an ephemeral space that reflected the fire temple, they did not go inside the fire temple exactly. However, the things he had in his hands are real. In Particular, land tokens have come up with real land. That means only one thing. That the real land tokens are still out there for him to grab. On top of that, he has s

Xena did not explain her intention. Obviously Caspian spent the entirety of the next hour in confused anticipation, while everyone around him laughed at him knowingly. Xena finished her selection of fabrics. She ordered another set for Caspian himself, this time, in yellow and black, with a symbol of a bull. The next announcement came after an hour. All the participants of the spring fair contest are called to a venue. There are multitudes of fabrics, clay, metal pieces, even silver, gold and gems on various tables. On the other side, there are various tools, for making pottery, for making jewelry and various other items. “ Valkyrie had long been known as the city of the craftsmen.

As long as answers sync, the couple passes. “ What’s your man’s name ? “ they asked. “ Caspian Hart “ Xena answered, so did Caspian. What’s your girl’s name ? “ was the next question. They obviously are doing this to filter off the random game breakers from entering the game. “ Xena winter child “ Both of them answered at the same time. “ Where did

“ Hey! Stop laughing at me, you moron. “ Xena ordered Caspian bossily. “ I am not laughing at you. I am just happy we both lived till today. “ Caspian said, chortling with laughter. The words brought a hard stop to the amusement of Nadia and Tara, while Xena shared his happiness. “ Indeed ! We still have today.” Xena said, sitting down at the edge of Caspian’s bed. To be truthful, it is quite amazing. They were thrown out of the capital city in a time of strife, walked through five battles, and countless skirmishes. They crossed the sea ! Then they went to institutions which require one to be beholden to them until death, yet, they both are sitting here, free!It is nothing short of a miracle. They have dodged death by a hair’s breadth a thousand times. They have overcome insurmountable odds. “ Oh ! Stop laughing, you idiot !

“ Caspian Hart ! You moron ! You stupid imbecilic idiotic jarhead ! “ Xena exclaimed, as she threw her hands on his neck. “ Hey! What’s with the over reaction ! I did not die ! “ Caspian mumbled, a hand rubbing soothingly on Xena’s back. Xena stopped crying after some time. Caspian held her lightly, enjoying the rare instances where Xena actually shows some emotion. “ What day is it ? “ he asked, after Xena pulled back from him. “ You still have the gall to ask for the day ! It's the thirtieth day after the valhallan new year. “ Xena told him. “ it’s .. My god ! Was I asleep for ten days ? “ Caspian asked in shock. “ How many days did you think it was ? “ Xena asked him angrily. “ Just .. Right after the woman in red left. She was so scary. “ Caspian exclaimed. “ Woman in red ? Madea ? “ Xena asked, an ominous feeling rising in her heart. Caspian shook his head. “ The other one. The whining fire spirits wanted her to submit to them. She ate them all ! I hid because I was a
