"We're almost there! Keep up the pace!" Mada Soledad and Pedro were standing on a cliff as the sun sets beautifully in the distant sea.
"Yes!" Pedro was full of glee, besides the view of the beautiful sunset by the sea, the night rising, emphasizes the blue and violet glowing crystals that were embedded in Naga Kingdom's walls.
"Such a beautiful view!" Pedro can't help but exclaim while walking down the mountain.
"beautiful but deadly! Hahaha!" Mada Soledad destroyed his happiness with a sentence. The world of Bearth was truly beautiful and srizing that people forgot the dangers that are present in the wilderness, hence, many beca victims to it.
During the official launch in Pedro's past life, casual players that spawn near areas with beautiful views were imdiately captivated. They spent their ti roaming around, fascinated by the views until it beca dark.
As night cos, nocturnal monsters ca out. They often roam around isolated areas and hunt on anything that is alone or are less in number. Hence, many players died, It was the sa to NPC who travels for the first ti.
Those NPCs who survives the first night of their journey learns the cruelty of the world and either return to where they ca from or beca a "wanderer". A wanderer was a rank given by the Kingdoms into which an NPC can beco a ssenger, hunter or any job that involves one to go to the wilderness for more than one day. It was the riskiest and deadly job over being soldiers.
...
Just as the sun was completely gone, Pedro and Mada Soledad reached a small abandoned port just miles away from the Naga Kingdom.
"Are we talking a boat to the Kingdom?" He curiously asked as he was unable to grasp what was Mada Soledad's plans.
"When did I ever said we are going to a kingdom?" Mada Soledad boarded a wooden, old looking boat that can cater only two people.
"Hop in! we must reach the ship before the "Bof" is completely gone!" Having various experiences in his past life, Pedro was able to ride the boat smoothly and was even able to row the boat with Mada Soledad. With this, their speed was faster compared to when only Mada Soledad was rowing the boat.
"We're not going to the Kingdom?" Pedro asked with a depressed look. He had hoped to claim so of the Treasures he know in the Naga Kingdom and to even challenge the King by using Mada Soledad's reputation and him being a skill-maker.
"Kingdom? We're going sowhere better! So shut your mouth and just follow! And by the way! We will travel in the waters for four days! So don't worry about your sickness... You can rest imdiately when we arrive... Also... If you had free ti in the last two days, I can teach you the basics of skill-making!" Pieces of information bombarded Pedro, Although he was depressed that they were not going to the Kingdom, His morale was lifted a bit when Mada Soledad said that she would finally teach Pedro the basics of Skill-Making.
"Mada is really considerate! Knowing that my heart was broken knowing that we would not go to the Kingdom, you tried to lift my morale by showing your concerns and finally deciding to teach the basics of skill-making!" Pedro responded that made the feeling a bit awkward.
"You're my apprentice! It's of natural for to care for your condition! If it worsens and made you useless, It would also reflect my na as a Master! So rember that! And! NEVER SLACK OFF!" Mada Soledad scolded then she had a slight grin on her face.
...
Minutes after they sail, the sun was already gone and the moon rises.
"Look! That's the ship!" Mada Soledad suddenly beca happy.
"A ship? more like a Yacht!" Mada Soledad keep ntioning about a ship but what Pedro saw was a Yacht, So he mocked the confident Mada Soledad.
"Hehe... Let's see how long you'd have that smug in your face!" She replied with confidence to Pedro.
As soon as they reached the "ship" a man of the sa age as Pedro was waiting aboard. He wore a formal attire looking like a mansion butler. He bowed slightly as a sign of respect to Mada Soledad.
"Thank for waiting, Carlos!" She said as she took an overcoat that was placed on a seat. It was white with an orange lining on it and has three golden stars in both of her shoulders. On her back, there was sothing written largely.
"Vicealmirante"
When Mada Soledad wore the overcoat, she looked aweso but for so reason, Pedro was about to burst into laughter.
'HAHAHAHA! a vicealmirante of a yacht? She could have just told that she owned this Yacht!' Pedro taught inwardly
"Why are smiling? was there a stain in my overcoat? Carlos!" Mada Soledad called Carlos as he noticed Pedro who was about to burst into laughter.
"Oh... there is no stain! my apologies! I just rembered sothing that I had experienced. Whenever I went to a beach, a bird always poops on my shirt whenever I wear white colored shirts. Hence, I decided to never wear white colored shirts ever!" Pedro bluffed his way out, he doesn't want Mada Soledad to know what he really thought.
"Well... you gotta bear with it! It's so sort of uniform here!" Mada Soledad tossed an overcoat of the sa color and lining but it has a black triangle in both of his shoulders. In his back, there was also sothing written, where the first word looked altered.
"Apprentice Class" Pedro had a grim look. 'was there even an apprentice class? the United Continent Army has a ranking system and based on my past life, the lowest was "private class"... seeing this altered... this was definitely a private class overcoat! da@@!!! Mada really underestimates my capabilities! Just wait and see!'
...
"Vicealmirante"
"Apprentice Class"
After wearing the overcoat, Mada Soledad went down on a stair that might be heading to the rooms so Pedro followed.
"It has been a long ti since the Mada took in an apprentice... Sothing big might happen!" Carlos uttered as he watched an aweso scene of Mada Soledad and Pedro going down the stairs with their overcoat on.
"Elder brother! I have placed Mada's boat safe and secure!" a big man with a big voice uttered.
"Then, let's get in the Karakoa! We are about to depart!" Carlos went down the stairs with the big man who had a similar outfit with him.
...
In the bridge of the "ship"...
"Comandante! Comodoro de Armada! the Vicealmirante is on board! Carlos contacted us and was done on the departure preparation!"
"Then, Let's go!" a bearded man that looked like a Japanese middle-aged man claid as he looks to a woman near the captain's seat! He was wearing circular glasses, a white long sleeves tacked in slacks partnered with shiny black shoes and his overcoat on top. His overcoat has two "Sun" looking symbol with eight rays on it that made it look similar to an asterisk, in each of his shoulders and sothing written on the back of his overcoat.
"Comandante"
...
"SET SAIL!" A Filipina looking woman in her thirties commanded in response as she stands near the center seat, captain of the ship's seat, in the bridge of the ship. She wore a white long-sleeved polo tacked in her black skirt paired with a fancy looking running shoes and an overcoat. Her overcoat has one star in each of her shoulders and sothing written on the back of her overcoat.
"Comodoro de Armada"
...
Sowhere in the main castle of the Naga Kingdom...
"Grandpa! Let's go! Let's go!" A child, well dressed, pulled an old man that looked like a royalty or noble.
"Alright! Alright!" The elder responded.
"I wanna see Aunt Soledad's ship!" The child rushed to the balcony, overlooking the vast sea!
"I wanna see the fad Karakoa!"
