117 Welcome To The Atlantic Rim Captain Seven

The moment I logged back into the game, the first thing I noticed was the fact that we weren't moving. I was a little bothered by it, but there was no feeling of intense danger, neither was there any sort of fight going on. Whatever it was, I'm sue I'll get to it later, but for now, I had some system alerts that I had to pay attention to.

{SYSTEM ALERT: MASTERIES: Your archery mastery has reached level 4, your sword mastery has reached level 5. 10% to all sword skills and +15% to sword damage. Mastery effect: DEXTEROUS generated.}

{SYSTEM ALERT: WEAPON: You have faced off against another legendary weapon and won. By virtue of the rules that defines the existence of your sword, you are now the owner of the SPEAR OF OCEANIA. Since your sword and the spear share a similar origin, they will now be merged into one weapon, begin merge?} {Y/N}

Obviously I will agree to combine both weapons, that was the reason for the entire fight wasn't it. The moment I agreed the sword and the spear came out from my inventory and flew into the air above me. They both released a resplendent blue and green glow that bathed my entire cabin room in an intense light that almost blinded me. Both sword and spear floated around each other before finally combining into one form.

The final look was that of a sword, however the hilt was longer, and the previous scale like blade now seemed to have a line running across it's center, almost as if with just a word I would be able to split it in two. The sword shot into my hands and immediately it did so I could feel the seas rumbling beneath me, there was the loud crackle of thunder and flashes of lightning as it seemed as if a storm was about to visit the sea with all fury and anger of the god of the seas.

Skill (4): Sea Slash: Part The Sea in rage and power in a linear direction of 5 kilometers, causing flat damage equivalent to the total sum of your wisdom and intelligence multiplied by ×5(cost 500MP) (cool down 25 hours)]

There wasn't much of a change between it damage now and it's damage before, but the new skills were insane, especially the last one. it has more attack lower than the call of the sea and a shorter cool down time, though if you ask me 25 hours was still too much time to wait for this skill to come out of cool down. And the range for the skill was huge, I could kill someone from a distance as long as I'm on the sea. Or rather anywhere else since it never said that I could only use this skill on water. There was just one final piece left before this weapon can be well and fully whole, and when that happens, I really have no idea how much more powerful it would be than now.

Everything seemed alright I think, there hasn't been an increase in my skills, except for my masteries, which if I should be honest is really hard to raise. But then again it's not easy to raise the skills or even levels either, it was almost as if the game is trying to make strength really hard to obtain, and keep the players on a somewhat equal footing. Only those really lucky would have other cards to play, or special encounters that would make them stronger.

Right now, true strength came from equipment and weapons, and the titles people receive and sometimes extra stat and skill points. That's what's helping the players progress, but to get all this things, you really have to move from place to place and go through really tough challenges. But thankfully all this was done and dusted, and bow I had a legendary weapon that was stronger than normal, but something weird is going on.

Given all the light show with seas rolling and thunder and lightning dancing in the sky, my crew should have all rushed over here by now. But there was no one in sight, and now that I think about it, this ship was eerily silent, much to silent. I made my way out of my cabin and made my way towards the cafeteria/common area, the fact that my ship has such a place would make others think it was a luxury line, but thinking that would be the first mistake you make before I blow you sky high.

Dinah had rigged it so that the table in the middle was connected to the ship's hub, but when I tried to bring up it's holographic display, there was nothing, not even a hint or a single reaction. It was as if the ship was dead or out of power, but that can't be, right? I've seen vehicles in similar states before, usually this only happens when some sort of electromagnetic pulse is used, but the Acheron is powered by magic nor tech, why would it be out of commission, and even more so where the heck were her passengers.

And speaking of passengers, where the heck was Sky, I know she hangs around after I've logged out unlike the rest of my equipment that disappears with me. But now she was gone, however I could feel her, she was close but a few hundred meters up in the air. I made my way towards the Acheron's deck, however the moment I moved close enough I noticed that there were quite a few people moving about, people I didn't recognize.

I slipped into stealth and moved towards them, the moment I was on deck I couldn't help but gulp at the colossus casting a shadow over my ship. There was a freaking island parked (somewhat) besides my ship, and it had shot chains through Acheron's deck, chains that were glowing an eerie purple. If I didn't know better, I would say this bloody island ship thing was siphoning power from my ship, and given that there are no dead bodies on deck, it stands to remove n that my crew was now being held captives by these guys.

But seriously though of all the themes these game had to use against me, why for the love of God did it have to be WATERWORLD. Shit I doubt dystopic sea pirates with an island for a ship would be easy to deal with, hah! Welcome to the Atlantic Rim Captain Seven. What could possibly go wrong.
