Chapter 276
🕑 Added 2024-11-04 02:00:02 +0000 UTCAnton spent the whole morning focused on leveling up his character but he did spend an hour practicing his guitar and exercising his voice. Even though power was the most important thing in his life because it would protect him and his family from danger, he couldn’t let go of the music.
If he was being honest, Anton knew that he was only enamored with music because he discovered that his voice and guitar playing were several times better compared to his life in the previous world. He didn’t know why, but Anton got an inkling that it was because of the additional stats brought on by leveling up his several characters. He couldn’t admit that Anton’s musical talent was better than his previous body on Earth. He thought that the only reason why the musical talent of his new body was better was because it was healthier on top of the additional stats.
Not only that but because of his magical power, his confidence skyrocketed compared to the introverted malnourished grim look that he sported when he was on Earth. Anton imagined that if his system allowed him to upload videos and he uploaded some with him singing, he could probably make a name for himself in some of the video uploading platforms but he knew that he was overestimating himself since when he browsed the short video website, he was unbelieving at the amount of talents that the uploaders had.
Anton wasn’t really wishing for the ability to create videos in the new world using his system and upload them so that people in his previous world could see them since it wouldn’t serve anything but stroke his vanity. It was just a whim that he thought of when they were traveling in Rendindura because of the beautiful scenery that he had seen.
He wasn’t even wishing for a portal back to Earth since Anton felt that it would only create chaos in both worlds. He considered his identity on Earth as truly dead. Maybe it would be different if he had family or friends but since he had none, he had no interest in going back to Earth. It was fun to imagine like some portal story but he wasn’t hoping for it and even if for some reason the ability appeared, Anton probably would not use it.
After practicing his voice and guitar for an hour, he went back to leveling up his necromancer character.
Anton stopped leveling up when he noticed that it was almost lunchtime. His necromancer did reach level 68 and he was amazed at himself at how slow he was at leveling up his character. Even though he was using the on-screen option instead of entering the world of sanctuary personally, which meant that his leveling up should be faster, it was taking him a long time.
He was even using the Player X code and the difficulty of the game was on Players Three. He would have increased it more but he finds it relaxing to mow down a huge number of mobs using his skills easily and if he increased the difficulty, the relaxing ease would turn into something stressful and it could even burn him out.
Anton took a shower again and then exited his room. He was surprised to see that Antonia, Lucia, Phillip, and Walter were there with everyone else and was glad to note that everyone was already back.
“Anton, your friends were asking to watch the three television series after lunch,” Anna said to him and Anton said that he was okay with it.
Everyone else decided to rest that afternoon since they had been exploring non-stop ever since the start of the ship’s journey. They would probably spend the rest of the afternoon watching television shows and Anton didn’t mind. It’s a good time for them to bond over watching the shows.
Soon Harun arrived with some company to deliver the dishes that Anton asked him to find a chef that could cook it and after Anders paid the people who delivered the food, they began decimating all the dishes made from the Kraken tentacle meat.
Anton and his new friends had tasted the Kraken before but he still couldn’t believe how delicious they were and as expected, his family was saying the same thing. The speed at which they devoured the food on the table was somewhat awe-inspiring but it was understandable.
“How much Kraken meat do you have left?” Anders asked while they were eating.
“The tentacle meat I managed to take was huge. As huge as three carriages so there’s a lot left. I imagined that even if we ate it every day, it would last the whole year,” Anton answered his father.
“I want to eat it again later tonight!” Anna said.
“Isn’t it a waste for us not to eat the dinner that the ship prepared for us every night? We did pay a huge amount of coin for the suite,” Anton commented without stopping putting food in his mouth.
“Then we can only eat it during lunchtime then,” Anders said and Anton knew that his family’s behavior was still deeply rooted in saving coins since they were just farmers not long ago and to be honest, their wealth, although could be considered considerable by average folks, wasn’t that much but if one considered their family’s potential to earn coins because of the movies, nobody would deny that they would become filthy rich in the future.
Anton could see that his new friends were confused about why his family didn’t want to waste the dinner that was included in the suite but he let it go and if they were truly curious, they could just ask the others. Their family’s history wasn’t a secret anyway.
Anton suddenly wondered if they could eat the Kraken tentacle sashimi style but even though they could probably do that due to how tender the meat was, he found the idea a bit icky since the meat did come from a gigantic sea monster.
After lunch, Colin prepared the white blanket that they were using as the projector screen. Anton’s initial plan was to enter his Diablo II system after lunch but due to the circumstances, he had to join his family in watching the shows. He was just glad that he had not seen Xena and Hercules before and only showed them because when he did some research on shows that had fantasy medieval settings that wouldn’t shock the denizens of this world, they were included in the results so that meant that he was entertained as well while watching them.
Regarding Star Trek, he had only seen it when he was very young since his father on Earth wanted him to see it since it was his father’s favorite show. Since he had seen Star Trek a long time ago, it was almost as if he was watching the show for the first time as well.
Too bad for his new friends Antonia, Lucia, Walter, and Phillip since they began watching the shows in the middle of season one.
It was around five in the afternoon when they completed watching one episode each of Star Trek, Xena, and Hercules. After that, Devon and Frederick ran off while the ladies stayed and continued talking with his new friends about the three shows’ previous episodes.
Anton knew that it would probably take them some time talking so he went inside his room to continue leveling up.
