Treasure hunting in endless ocean The Fleet
Neil expected that there would be some sort of conflict when he exited the dungeon. However, he could not have predicted just how awful of a fight would happen when he is known to be clearing the dungeon. As soon as he exited, a gun was pointed straight at his face. “ Give up your spoils , or die ! “ A cowboy screamed at him, pointing a shotgun at him. ‘ Damn it ! Why didn’t we come from an asian country, where there’s strict gun control ! ‘ Neil cursed, as he remembered the lax gun control and the possible hunter population in Florida. After all, these men hunt anakonda’s and alligators, it’s impossible for them not to have one or two rifles. Moreover, he had plenty of confidence that even more sophisticated guns probably came through given how these guys seemed to be having the same kind of tattoos on their arms. Fortunately, he had been prepared. The shop had been selling the fuel for the ice, and fuel for the fish. Especially the shop from Runisia, he couldn’t love it mo
Treasure hunting in endless ocean Barrier - The desperate
The richer snorc tribes with their own elks and aurochs immediately disassembled their tents. They rushed towards the beast tide, fearing the gates might close by the time they reached the beast tower. Education existed among Snorks just like it did among winterland. Similar to winterland denizens, the higher a tribe’s strength, the better educated it’s leaders. They knew Beast tower is the place where the Barrier is thinnest and it’s gate largest. Only, the path under the beast tower has long since been filled with ice. The Barrier’s history is the most well learned story other than their own tribe’s hierarchy. The meaning of the beast tower gates being open is not lost among these people. Namely, two tribes were knowledgeable among the Snorcs. The first is Thors, who’s tribe had leather and bronze armor, bronze weapons and well trained dog sleds. They packed the fastest. More importantly, thor’s are neighbours of giant clans, who needed no packing at all. Thus, they all followe
Treasure hunting in endless ocean Barrier - Negotiations
“ I hope you can negotiate with Snorcs, Dan.” Sasha said, looking at her cousin. “It will not work.” Dan answered before Sasha could even explain her plan. “ I didn't even say what my plan was.” Sasha said, grumbling at him. “ You want to negotiate a surrender from Snorcs and Giants, with their wives as the hostages.” Dan answered for Sasha. “Indeed. Why wouldn’t that work ? “ Sasha asked, for in her mind, they have enough hostages to sway Snorcs. “Because they have nothing left to fight for any more.” Valerie answered. “They have wives and children. In our hands.” Sasha answered. “No. As long as the Snorc children and women are in Wintermen’s hands, they do not come back alive. You are not naive enough to think violence is only on Snorcs side, are you? “ Valerie asked her sarcastically. Indeed it is true. Snorcs haven’t been kind to winter land people, and vice versa. However the circumstances are different now, aren’t they ? They have a vested interest in keeping the wom
Treasure hunting in endless ocean Barrier - Battle begins
Frontier guard captain Edgar was a great fighter, but he wasn’t a great commander. That title fell to Dan. The moment battering began, and Sasha created the enclosure, he ordered the archers to go up the snowy wall surrounding the gate. It will be like shooting down at pigs in a hunting hole. However, he has no hope he could maintain it for long. Reports have come from the top of the barrier. Sharp eyed guards of the frontier reported the warband that attacked them had all the vicious and elite. Till now, they have spotted bone armor, which they knew beyond doubt is bone creeper. There was an owl circling over Castle one, so they know Ghost is here, as well as reaper, for his telltale blue fabric with glow stones is spotted. Then there’s the ever so clear bronze armor of the thors and the seal leather suit of the slimes. The door is being battered. The dragon has returned to hunt in waters of the mountain kingdom, and beyond towards the south. Even if it were to fly back, it
Treasure hunting in endless ocean Barrier - hills of dead
It is the first time Sasha has seen real battle in play. For a girl who lived through two of the bloodiest battles in history, crossed the country right through the middle of one of those battle fields, it’s amazing she hasn’t seen a battle till today. She never imagined how much the blood stank. She did not know the smell of shit is as common as the scent of blood in battle. She has never seen men go so mad, that they keep doing the same thing despite knowing it’s futile. The bulwark that constricted Snorcs to the little five meter square in front of the southside gate collapsed. What opened up in front of them is not the yard of Castle one, but an icy arena created by Sasha. The snorc army rushed through halfway to the middle before they even noticed the strangeness of the terrain. Every entrance to the castle is closed with ice, so much so, not even a hint of the tell tale black wood could be seen. “Knotch” a familiar voice rang, breaking the mystery of empty area. The so
Treasure hunting in endless ocean Barrier - Ice Witch
Few of the guards loyal to Dan followed Dan in jumping onto a mound of corpses and followed him into castle one. They have always known Dan is a fine swordsman. He fought many battles with them, they know of his strength, speed and stamina. Compared to any of them, he is a better warrior by leaps and bounds. Even so, they never thought that his standard was impossible for them to reach. Yet, now, the way he cut through the snorc elites as if he was reaping harvest, made their hearts tremble and their knees to buckle. The scariest being in the world is a good guy who has gone bad, their blacksmith used to say, as he described his battle of Rykor Drakon and Beor Hawthorn. This must be what a truly frightening swordsman is like, they thought as they saw the after images of Dan's sword. They can’t see the sword at all before the enemies are ripped into pieces. It is said sorcerer’s steel has the ability to carry and create sword aura, as long as some of it is present.It’s like a
Treasure hunting in endless ocean Barrier - Kill them all
The Snorcs reached out to their weapons when they heard Dan but it was too late. The guards were all too eager to kill them all. It was a massacre. Dan looked around the hall, confirmed with his own eyes every last snorc was slain. He looked to Edgar, who was by his side. “ Aye! “ Edgar answered, before shouting orders out. “ Clean it up, you little buggers! Every corpse is beheaded, every body is burned. Move it, you great lumps of turd ! “ he shouted, and the guards moved quickly to obey. Today's battle opened their eyes in many ways. While the north is a little too loyal to Winterchilds, the south has far too many mythical stories about them. After all, winter childs are the oldest monarchy in the world. Winterchilds were ruling from strongfort since the time of ten calamities. Some said they could turn into wolves, some said ice followed in their veins instead of blood, yet others say swords of winter childs carry a curse, thus as long as you are marked, you won’t live l
Treasure hunting in endless ocean Barrier - Peace at last
Sasha woke up quite late.Considering she is sleeping in front of the fireplace atop a rush like a maid should have affected the quality of her sleep, but it didn’t. Instead, she felt warm all over, and so well rested, it’s almost like a dream. Usually, she finds it extremely hard to sleep no matter where she is. Yet, here, atop a rough pelt, in a room with no door, she found it all too easy to fall asleep. Sasha found the situation wondrous for just a while, before she figured out why. 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. He and Valerie predicted it correctly. Snorcs would not stand for her tactics. Even so, the attack came far too fast. So much so, in fact, she w

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

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
