Treasure hunting in endless ocean Clear Air
Most messages could be acted upon after sometime. Thus, Neil paid more attention to the meal than the task list. Morgana slowly stopped crying, then she ate her food, checking upon Neil and Adele time after time. Adele only looked sympathetic, while Neil held his expressionless face. After they were done with the meal, he brought out the desserts. This is a peace offering, but looking at Morgana’s smartly glinting eyes, he thought he probably shouldn’t give it out so easily. Thus, he hardened his heart, and did something he vowed to never do ~ educate children like his parents educated him. “ Merlin, Morgana ! Do you understand why Morgana is punished today ? “ he asked the children. Fortunately, both the children are precocious. Even if they could not understand the complete situation like adults, they at least understand most of the language. “ Because daddy is not my daddy ? “ Morgana answered, her eyes absolutely sure. Adele, who was sitting beside Neil, shook her head.
Treasure hunting in endless ocean Confession
Neil smiled at her. It’s visible that the smile and the light hearted banter is a bit forced. Adele is trying to stall this conversation. Neil is all too used to such a thing, for he has done it more than once or twice after his parent’s death. He deflected the help from his friends, he deflected care from his uncle… he deflected concern from his teachers. But .. suddenly a light bulb went off in Neil’s head. ‘ This kind of dialogue … aren’t they specialties of teen romances ? doesn’t this mean Adele likes him too ? ‘ for a moment, his mind went blank with strange anticipation. His mouth moved before his brain could kick start and stop him. “ Adele ! Do you like me ? “ he asked, in the exact same tone as Adele. Adele’s expression froze at his words. She became solemn. ...…The silence stretched for so long, Neil’s all senses have become overactive. He could even hear the slight sloshing of the waves brush by the raft’s sides. Neil was about to open his mouth to say ‘ Just
Treasure hunting in endless ocean Sweet Kiss
Adele looked surprised at Neil’s confession. After a moment of thought, she realized why he never went for her directly. He was probably grieving too badly. Just like her right after the surgery, he probably did not want to have people around. However, she still remembered the day after very clearly. She arrived at the school. Neil was already in the classroom. The light from the window fell right on his face, lighting up his chestnut hair, pale skin and the red lips. He looked a bit ethereal, like a dark angel. In that moment, her heart felt like it’s being squeezed, for a moment, Adele was frozen dumb. She did not realize how long she stayed standing there, like a dumb little girl. She was too embarrassed to face him after such a display, so she deliberately kept her distance. God knows, Neil belonged to the type of introverted guys that take forever to take initiative. Even if she did not want to, her eyes are always drawn to him. So much so, Chad Warden, who was conside

While Neil is trying to distract himself with this and that adventure, Adele was exploding in confusion over their decision to start dating. One says date, but what is a date ? Back on earth, Date had a clear definition. They meet at a specified time on the day, they do some activity that’s a bit fun, then, they go back to their respective homes. Here … don’t they always stay together all the time? If they both go out to have fun, who watches the children ? When she’s wondering this ever so ‘auntie & uncle ‘ age question Neil was standing in front of the abyss, wondering whether he should go in or not. If there’s one thing Neil had learned through all of their escapades in the endless ocean, it is that going from ‘hundred percent safe’ to ‘Dead as a rock ‘ takes only one centimeter distance. That was the feeling he got right now. Yet, there are two messages persistently hung in front of him, flashing in the corner. One is Jack’s mess
Treasure hunting in endless ocean First contact
Adele activated symbiosis as soon as Neil jumped into the water. It has become a habit by now. If she’s not specifically doing any complex magical maneuver, then she activates symbiosis to act as mana battery for Neil. She also saw the messages of the MerCity shopping point activate. It’s a good thing, for this is on the channel. She opened the shopping point as soon as it got activated. There’s some gibberish on there that she did not understand. Just as she was thinking to call Merlin and Morgana back, she felt like her heart was being squeezed while slowly freezing over. Adele opened her console while gasping, trying to move her shaking fingers to go towards summoning your husband back ! But black ice started spreading around her on the deck. On the other side of the ocean, the vent towards outer space is opened. The green liquid in the vault is ejected outside forming large and small green globules. Neil has lost his consciousness as soon as he stored the last brain fis
Treasure hunting in endless ocean the girl on side line
“ Yes. “ Neil answered reflexively. He knows this girl. She goes to the Spanish school next door, and hangs out with the emo kids. She’s the only Mexican girl he has seen in gothic makeup. Now though, she looked like a veritable hawaiian. The girl is dressed in a patched up sarong, over a yellow bikini. She probably did not have many other clothes either. Neil never realized how big the shortage of clothes was. Most of the people who got swept away only brought one or two sets of clothes, unlike Adele, who packed her entire wardrobe. They do have clothes in their market, but they were sold out long ago. “ Who are you ? “ Adele asked the girl. “ I am PinkPrincess. You are ? “ The girl asked curiously. “ Evilwitchqueen “ Adele answered calmly. The girl was taken aback. “ Oh! “ She exclaimed in surprise. Then, the realization dawned on her, as she scanned the single gigantic raft with a duplex home atop it. “ OH ! Oh! Oh ! “ She exclaimed continuously as the situation dawne
Treasure hunting in endless ocean Raft Totem
Sarah insisted that she could not remember the correct coordinates for the dungeon. She must sail there in person to guide them, while Neil and company protected her. Adele was not convinced. At the same time, she could tell Sarah is telling the truth. If nothing else, Adele is sure their fighting prowess is along the lines of top brass in this transfer. All schemes were useless in front of sheer brute power. Since they have that sort of punch power, she is not afraid, yet … she could not wash away this apprehensive feeling. Adele did not agree for the girl to come over to their raft. Since Adele was so apprehensive about allowing her on to their raft, Neil followed suit. Sarah anchored a little ways off from them on the other side of the atoll. Neil consulted his console, and realized the planter squares are done. So were the planting stations. He is going to plant tomatoes, peas and cucumbers. Yet, above all, there is one task he must complete as soon as possible. “ Adele
Treasure hunting in endless ocean Bad Customer
The man’s face looked like he had eaten a lemon. ‘There is something fishy here ‘ Neil thought, as he looked at all the people mooring around his raft. Why are they so intent on keeping watch on his raft ? It’s like a school of orca following a blue whale. Sure, they can’t kill it alone, but with big enough numbers, they could any time.The boy in front of him looked at his father’s sour face, and Neil’s apprehensive one and realized he put his foot in his mouth. “ Where do you get one ? “ Neil asked. The boy looked at him strangely, as did the man. “ You always have it. What are you ? an NPC ? “ The boy snarked at Neil’s ignorance. Always have it ? But … he arrived on his paddle board. As for Adele … well her raft was eaten by the kraken. Children arrived at the islands. …...Why is he the only one missing this damn totem ? Neil explained to the father and child how to associate their inventory boxes to the shop. The father and son also bought a blueprint, just because

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.

Barrier - Peace
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.

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
