🕑 Added 2025-04-07 02:00:02 +0000 UTCAnton and his friends Torun, Blake, Andrea, and Soren spent the morning running around the ship, exploring its every nook and cranny. They behaved like children instead of young adults. The funny thing was no one dared to scold them because Anton was a well-known powerful archmage whose family owned the cinema. Not only that, but Torun and the others admitted that even when they were in Rendindura, he and the gang seldom were able to just roam around since they almost always had chores to do at their home or their families’ business.
He knew that Andrea was a bit embarrassed at their behavior, but the boys, including Anton, were not. They didn’t care at all and were enjoying every minute of their childish adventures. They were not harming anyone and, at most, just annoyed some people. Anyone who became angry with them for just those simple shenanigans they were doing were always warned by somebody else, so nothing like the generic face-slapping from novels happened, which, to be honest, disappointed Anton a little. It was petty of him to wish for something like a face-slapping situation to occur, but since he was a fan of Eastern web novels, it was on his bucket list.
Anton made sure that all their adventures were benign and that they did not destroy anything too valuable. They did break some things, but coins were enough to fix those mistakes. One good example was when they broke some chairs re-enacting some of the scenes from movies they’d watched.
One of the funniest things they did was when Soren and Andrea re-enacted Rose and Jack’s scene from the movie Titanic in one of the ship’s deck and the two actually fell. Anton had to fly down and save them using his Telekinesis spell. Andrea was most angry with everyone because of that, but the guys just found it extremely funny and almost did not stop laughing for several minutes. Soren admitted that he almost peed, terrified that he would lose his life under the ship and his body eaten by fishes.
They only stopped when lunchtime arrived since Anton had to return to the suite. Anna would nag him if he was late and Torun and the others also had to return home to show their faces to their families.
Anton and his friends did eat first in one of the fanciest restaurants inside the Amelia, and he was thankful that Torun, Blake, Andrea, and Soren stopped being timid about joining him for lunch in some of the priciest restaurants on the ship. As a matter of fact, because of them joining him most of the times he invited them, they began developing the confidence in dealing with the people who work in the service industry who mostly dealt with rich nobles or powerful mages.
Torun told Anton one time that they were thankful for Anton for becoming their friends because their behavior when it came to dealing with people improved, and their families noticed it.
Not only that, but Torun, Blake, and Soren admitted that their families began using Anton’s name in their dealings.
“It’s okay as long as the deals that they’re doing using my name is legit but the moment that something gets back to my father, like a complain or something, that’s going to be a problem,” Anton told them.
He then knew that Torun and the others realized the unspoken rule that if their families kept doing something like that and a big problem occurred, it could jeopardize their friendship with him, so Anton was sure that Torun, Blake, and Soren would talk to their families about using his name.
Anton wasn’t really worried about their families using his name a little since there were limited business dealings they could do in the Amelia. It would be a problem if they kept doing it once they reached New Drennor, though, so it would be best for Torun and the others to realize it and stop their families from doing something as flimsy as using his name. It would not really help in the long run if they thought about it. The population in the Amelia, especially the merchants and nobles, was limited, and everyone knew what business everyone else was doing by then, so all the people knew what business Anton’s family was in.
The moment Anton entered the suite, the mages began their practice, and it was almost funny to Anton but he was impressed at everyone’s dedication. He went to his room and began leveling up his Amazon. He wanted to reach the maximum level and have the character’s “Best in Slot” gears before they arrived at the next stop.
Anton still didn’t know the name of the place of their next stop and he kept forgetting to ask. The only thing that he knew was it was some sort of tropical paradise like Hawaii or some of the islands in Southeast Asia on Earth. He couldn’t wait for the ship to get there since he hadn’t experienced going on a tropical vacation yet, even back on Earth.
But before that, Anton wanted to learn what his Diablo II system would do next. His Amazon character leveled to level forty-six and because of that, he was sure that he would reach its max level before the Amelia reached the next stop.
After that, he recorded his next cover song, which was a song that was sung by Norah Jones titled “Come Away With Me”. Most of the songs in his next cover album titled “Café Songs,” which he would never share with anyone since his family wouldn’t understand the reference, were the same as the last song he recorded, mellow, jazzy songs that were easy to listen to. He wanted to create a slow-life vibe through the album, like someone drinking a cappuccino while listening to the rain pitter-pattering on the window.
There were already around eight songs and just a few more, it would be done. He would then purchase more magic recorder items and record the songs to give to his father and his sister, although he still had three magic recorder items left in his inventory. They were filled with the first songs that he recorded though but he could erase them and record the new ones.
Anton then joined his family for dinner and while they were eating, he noticed that everyone was a little excited and he remembered that it was the night when they would start the next television show they would watch, which was Game of Thrones, so he also started feeling excited since he had not seen the show yet.
After dinner was over, Colin and some of the girls rushed through cleaning everything, and after a few minutes, everyone was ready to watch the first episode of Game of Thrones.
When everyone was ready, Anton started playing the first episode of season one of the show. The first episode introduced the setting of the show, and Anton was impressed at the acting prowess of the actors that starred in the show. Everyone was startled, including Anton, when they saw Edward “Ned” Stark since they knew him as Boromir, and he could see that everyone was dying to ask him questions, but they did have a rule that questions could only be asked once the show that they had been watching was done.
After the show ended, everyone kept asking why Boromir was on the show, and Anton explained to them while laughing a bit that they had to remember that the characters in the movies and television shows that they would be watching were just actors and not real-life characters. Anton knew that they knew it, but since the movies and shows were realistic, they probably unconsciously disregarded that fact. It was understandable, given that everyone was new to watching movies and television shows.
