Chapter 9 Instead of Becoming an Adventurer I Chose to Fish
I continued to grind Keeper and Scribe levels, but one thing became clear, it was going to take a while if I didn’t get the Inventory skill soon. Because it took me almost to the end of this grind day, which was again 14 hours long, to once again level up, getting both professions to level 11.
Once again, I walked towards the small system obelisk. This time the options were different. 2025-10-28 16:22:30 +0000 UTC View Post
Chapter 8 Instead of Becoming an Adventurer I Chose to Fish
There were a lot of people at this lecture. The reason for that was quite simple, the last half of the lecture the lecturer would allow anyone to ask questions about their own build, and she would give suggestions on how you could achieve what you want.
It was the first time I’d seen an actual person I would call old. That was a weird realization, as I hadn’t noticed before that there...

There seemed to be a lot more information about how the Adventurer Guild operated. The information density was a bit too much, and I also didn’t have my notes with me. So instead of reading everything line by line, I flipped the pages, giving them a cursory look to see if there was anything that jumped out.
One of the first interesting things I found out was that the Adventurer Guild fr...

I rubbed my eyes, trying to get them to focus. Going over the notes I had taken, all of this did not feel real once again. All of it felt too fantastical and too exciting. It didn’t feel right to be this excited about something right after I lost my home and so many died.
I knew that there were other humans out there, which was still weird, but we from Earth were now an endangered speci...

“Master, it’s time. Your brother’s police department is getting close to finding proof that you are the cult leader. If we don't act now, all will be lost.”
It unnerved me to talk so openly about this, but he was right. If we don't act now, my elder brother will have his child, and I would be even further from sitting in the elder...

With a brisk walk, I headed towards the orientation lecture stage. I still didn’t know what to call these buildings, as they didn’t have any roofs. They had a semicircle of seating with a raised platform where the lecturer would be at and a wall all around to give some privacy.
As I stepped in, I saw that there were twelve others here, with five more people on stage. Four of them were...

The first thing that I noticed was that I felt lighter. Blinking my eyes, everything finally came into focus. Looking around, I seemed to be in a courtyard of some sort with the system obelisk being in the middle. There seemed to be people around, most of them wearing leather armour with a few metal reinforcements. They seemed to have crossbows for weapons.
Before I could do anything else...

My mind was clearer than it was yesterday. My grandmother always said that during sleep you process what you experienced during the day, helping you accept what had happened.
She said that to me when her husband, my grandfather, died. She was right then, and she’s right now. Back then it took a few nights, but slowly I started to comprehend that I was never going to see him again.

“I think he’s waking up.” That was the first thing I heard.
“So it was probably just his body’s version of combat enhancers. Probably was flooded with them, and when we finally showed up the pressure eased, causing a crash.”
Finally, I had the strength to open my eyes, seeing that we were now on board the flying ship. The wind whipped my hair and stung my eyes.

A new series I have been slowly working on. It's something I have wanted to write about for a while, and finally, I came up with a world I liked and would fit where the MC is an Angler.
Also sorry for the spam :)

The flame representing Lola was slowly dying down. I think it will go back to normal, but just in case, I continued to observe it.
“Captain, why did we do that?” Sam asked, while Lola was slowly gaining consciousness.
It was hard to try to listen and watch at the same time, so it took me a bit to understand what he was asking.
“Just wait a bit longer.”
Lola was m...

Days turned into weeks as we continuously raided portals and then headed back to base to offload, just to go out once again. It was a good thing that I didn’t tell anyone about what my Sense Aura skill showed me.
With the constant portal raids, I had gotten stronger. My body was already at E rank, along with my mind. My soul aspect was not too far behind. All of that has allowed me to u...

I managed to stay away from doing anything productive for nearly three hours, but my legs started to get restless, bouncing up and down constantly, until it annoyed Lola so much that she finally gave me mercy and allowed me to start at least looking at what we got from all the portals we raided.
While I had been able to loot during the state I was in, it was still less than optimal. It wa...

During the mana break, I managed to figure out how to turn one of the grenade launchers into a good enough net launcher. The net itself was made out of woven metal strands. It weighed quite a lot, but it retained its flexibility.
It should be good enough for an F-rank monster that didn’t have any skills.
“Sam, can you test this for me? I need to go meditate,” I yelled towards ...

It was great to be flying again. My shoulder was still a bit stiff, and when I looked towards Lola, she didn’t meet my eyes. When I finally had all the resistance skills properly absorbed, she, of course, needed to test everything. Some of the tests were more painful than others.
My status screen was now quite crowded. Pulling it up, the skill list was quite long.

“Come on, close.” But no matter how much I pushed, it just wouldn't shut completely. Finally, I hammered it with my hand, hearing it click shut and the inside pressurise.
“Heavy mech operator, report?”
It took a moment for me to get an answer.
“Seal confirmed. Starting diagnostics run.”
I jumped off the step stool I was on and took a few steps...

I am sick once again, damn this is annoying. Worst is I am not even that sick most of the time, but I need to take a break even when my head is a bit foggy, I guess is the best way of saying that, as the story just does not flow. Got no idea what virus I have as this bastard has been trying to take me out since last wednesday and finally yesterday managed to do it. Hopefully I will get better ...

“Flank it, I’ll keep it focused on me.”
Dean’s squad started flanking towards the right while Sam’s towards the left. My own gun was pressed against my shoulder as I continued to fire at this giant beetle’s head.
It had quite a small head compared to the rest of its body, but even that was too armoured. Each time I fired, a pain shot through my shoulder. This was the thi...

We stepped into the portal. Immediately, the connection to the rest of the scout drones already inside popped up, allowing me to see video of their current whereabouts.
Behind me, Dean’s squad entered, all of them managed to get through. We moved out a bit, but already we could see most of the area in this portal as it was quite open.
Sam’s squad was next, all of them also getti...

The side engines started to ramp up. Everyone else was already inside the ship, but I was outside so I could hear and see how these monstrous engines actually sounded and looked like when they were working.
When they started to energise their propellers so they could interact with the fabric of space, the pitch changed a bit. It wasn't unpleasant, but it also wasn't as good as it was befo...
