It wasn’t until Leo noticed the weather control in the VIP sector that many things began to fall into place—details he had previously overlooked. Perhaps it was his enhanced brain function, now sharper and more attuned to critical thinking, or maybe he had simply never cared to consider the bigger picture until today. Either way, it now seed obvious to him.
The Arc Ship, though massive in size, never really appeared as enormous as it should have. Theoretically, Washington D.C. didn’t house 250 million people, yet the Arc Ship, which was barely the size of 15 football fields combined, sohow carried them all.
Until now, he hadn’t given much thought to this phenonon. But today, sothing clicked—this vessel was far more advanced and sophisticated than he had ever imagined. It wasn’t just technology; it was magic. The presence of spatial runes lined throughout the ship explained the impossible.
“Hey Elandor, is the entire Arc Ship lined with special spatial runes?” Leo asked, curiosity edging into his voice. Elandor paused, a flicker of acknowledgnt crossing his features before he nodded.
“Indeed, sir. The entire Arc Ship is much larger than it seems. It’s an engineering marvel, compressing space at nurous points. The walkways are lined with spatial runes that shorten distances, while the interiors—hos, structures—are fully realized in size. Without these runes, walking from Sector E to D would feel like a cross-country marathon. In truth, the Arc Ship is as large as the state of Texas.”
Leo blinked, a bit thrown off by Elandor’s knowledge of Earth’s geography. But the more he thought about it, the more it made sense. The level of sophistication on this ship was beyond anything he could comprehend. Technology that bent space like this, combined with magic, was worth hundreds of billions of gold coins, at the very least.
As the implications sunk in, Leo felt a deep sense of awe. They were aboard sothing truly monuntal.
“Let’s continue with our tour, sir. Let show you the manors where you all shall be living,” Elandor said, guiding the trio further along the path.
As they arrived at one of the three manor houses, its grand wooden doors swung open to reveal an interior as luxurious as its exterior.
The ceilings of the manor soared above them, adorned with intricately carved beams, and the floors glead with polished stone that reflected the soft ambient lighting.
Every room was ticulously furnished—plush couches, rich tapestries, and art that seed far too valuable to be housed on a re ship as the entire atmosphere radiated opulence.
Leo stood in the entrance, montarily stunned by the grandeur of it all. This was going to be his new residence and it was beyond anything he could have imagined, a level of luxury reserved for the truly elite.
“I feel like we’ve suddenly beco billionaires. This is way beyond urban elite—this is literal king shit,” Luke muttered, his eyes wide as Leo and Amanda nodded, sharing his awe.
“This is just one of your residences,” Elandor chid in, his voice carrying through the vast hall. “Each house is equipped with unique features, but all are designed for the highest level of comfort and luxury.”
Leo’s gaze drifted to a door on the side, slightly ajar. A soft hum emanated from within, as if the room itself pulsed with energy. “What’s in there?” he asked, stepping closer.
Elandor smiled. “That, Mr. Skyshard, is the ditation and mana room. The concentration of mana in this space is ten tis what you’ve experienced in Sector C. It is perfect for honing your skills or simply for relaxation.”
“Ten tis the mana concentration?” Luke’s eyebrow shot up. “That’s insane.”
Leo stepped into the room, and the mont he crossed the threshold, he felt it. The air was thick with mana, so dense it seed to hum around him. He stood still, allowing the sensation to wash over him, his body instinctively drawing in the energy.
At that point, Leo already understood that this place would be invaluable for his training, especially since he hoped to start training to beco a grandmaster soon.
Nonetheless, he did not linger in the ditation room for too long, as he knew that he would have many chances to do so later anyways and continued with the tour instead.
As the group moved forward, their each step revealed sothing more extravagant than the last.
The kitchens were stocked with unfamiliar, alien appliances that Leo couldn’t even na, the bedrooms boasted bedding that felt softer than any material he’d encountered, and the personal library was filled with rare, ancient texts.
Every corner of the manor blended magic and technology, creating a perfect environnt that catered to both luxury and practicality.
Amanda couldn’t contain her excitent as they explored, a wide smile on her face. “I never thought I’d live in a place like this. It’s incredible.”
Luke, ever the pragmatist, nodded thoughtfully. “The mana room alone makes this worth it. We’ll be able to train harder and faster than ever before.”
Leo remained quieter than his companions, though he shared their awe. This place was beyond even his wildest dreams. More than just a luxurious residence, it held the promise of accelerating his growth in ways he hadn’t foreseen.
For the first ti in a long while, Leo felt a sense of calm—a rare peace that ca with the realization that he was exactly where he needed to be.
His entire life, he had only seen struggle.
At first it was his mom who had to struggle and later, it was he himself who had to work hard to make ends et.
However, now finally it seed like he had made it big in life. That for the first ti, he had gone beyond basic necessities and reached the indulgence phase of his life.
“That’s it for the tour of this manor, the other two manors are also similar in structure and basic materials, however, will be different in interior and resources.
If you wish, we can proceed with the tour of the other two manors, or if you are content, then we can proceed to et Captain Kid, who is waiting with a few welco gifts for you fine passengers in the backyard” Elandor said, as Leo looked towards the others and instead of continuing with the tour, opted for eting the Captain first instead.
