Chapter 135: Growing pains

As soon as Rising Reef Town is announced by SKY Ocean Hunter the frenzy will begin he has tasked all the people they keep to facilitate the move from the south to the western side of the island. SKY Ocean Hunter had to send Tyr personally south to meet with an agent of the Adventure Association. He can’t go himself since they are extremely species because they are mostly from the Kingdom of  Asrugo. These low-level adventure association agents tend to backwards provincial attitudes. Since he doesn’t have to deal with it directly he sends their most prominent human-looking player. SKY Ocean Hunter is coordinating with others to get his people to their new homes. What made SKY Ocean hunter happy is how his chapter has come together for him. While he expected people like Ori and Calypso to avail themself. His entire upper command of the chapter has cancelled what they were doing and are carrying out his orders. 

Ori the human tamer, especially with his Booner, wanted to be the one to go to deal with the concerns of the Adventure Assiocatoin however SKY Ocean Hunter believes he is still a little too inexperienced and excitable he might end up making things worse than what Lux did. So in the end Ori is leading his cluster of twenty-five rafts to the western side of the Island. Calypso is of course with Him as there is no way she would allow Ori of all to meet up with SKY Ocean Hunter. Since forming her squad she has gotten even more confident and is growing into a beautiful Siren. Her skin has become a lot darker after leading her squad called the Ocean fangs. She has built a squad of all-female Gorgon subspecies, who also happen to be mad fans of SKY Ocean Hunter. Then there is everyone’s favourite enigmatic tag along and peacekeeper Alistair the Dark Magician. The others like Gobowaki the half demonic Nightblade, Apolita the Spiritcaller, Echo the sexy tough paladin, OH My Xin A Warzard that is obsessed with loot, A Shadow Blade called Biif-cakes and the two friends who everyone suspects of being really old men Elgun and Duncan. over the next several will be in charge of making sure everything goes smoothly for them. This is of particular importance since hidden amongst all the rafts is the lifestyle class players. They are needed to start the various businesses in Rising Reef town. 

Tyr touches the soft sand of the southern side of Red Iron island, it is really a tropical paradise even the sea which he knows is exactly the same as the one on the west just looks that little bit brighter. Couples are walking around enjoying some of the few sights untouched by the demonic invasion. Even thorough all the chaos going on none-participating-player-characters-(NPPC), still visit and some have made applications for simulation slots. As members of Sunken Reef Odyessy will allow to run and operate mines, farms, miscellaneous businesses, and other entertainment businesses. This is also where they got their first small corporate sponsor who will be running an online store from Rising Reef town. Tyr should be meeting on the edge of the beach however for some reason they have pulled back their rovers combining them to make a small offshore platform. 

Tyr takes one of Alexi newer four-person speed boats. One of the smaller teams had handed a common blueprint for some cash reward. The system implemented is funded in large part by sales from Lifestyle players. Cantos had introduced a special method from the twentieth century called NFT’s to secure things like recipes, this means that lifestyles each have their own unique vision of recipes or pay a small fee to use a player-created one. This is why bread in the eastern empire taste slightly littler than bread in Asrugo. This is also how many lifestyle players in the entertainment industry can protect themselves from copyright issues. The speed is painted a dark grey, Alexi is not the most artistic of craftspersons but he does build a damn good boat.

He chops into the ocean at a blistering speed his magic power determines speed which is means he is faster than most. The ocean as far as the eye can see is filled with rafts, canoes, and, other small crafts. The offshore platform built by the adventure association is a three-story floating structure about one hundred square meters wide with four outstretched logs acting as docks. Tyr chooses the one with the least amount of raft attached to it. For a small platform, it seems quite busy with members from other guilds and smaller adventure parties. When Tyr steps onboard all the players’ are whispering about him. Some even point at his Sunken Reef, Infinite SKY Chapter symbol on his chest. A player falls into the water as they are pushed aside by NPC guards from the adventure association. 

A rough and tough-looking vanguard dressed in offensive Orcana skin. He scratches his scruffy red beard and says, ” You! Their, filth surrender or die!” He lifts his harpoon supported by two of his org mates who look also dressed in Narlark Bark Plate and Lamia Leather. Tyr should bring some of his guild members here they would destroy this platform. A human organisation this brazen is one that will find the universe is a large unforgiving place. he doesn’t know why he is surprised SKY Ocean Hunter had warned him they are mostly low-level associate branches not truly members of the Adventure Association. Tyr has to take several deep breathes and with one finger moves the harpoon aside from his throat. 

Tyr says, ” As you can see, I’m unarmed and invited…blood sack!” Tyr has just used a deep cut insult as if he was a blood elf. They refer to prey as blood sacks, in a really roundabout way Tyr has just called the man a dead cow. He smiles at the guardsman’s frown who is still trying to figure out what the hell tell means. The one wearing the lamia leather is a female and speak is a shrill and piercing provincial accent. To his ear, she sounds like a caricature of a northerner around Newcastle like on classic holovid shows. She steps up to Tyr pointing a crooked unwashed finger at him hugged by that stomach-turning Lamia leather. 

Unzilla says, “aye we know what you mean and you are not clever at all. No, we are in charge here laddy. We could get you and throw your body in the ocean. Now do as he said and retract your intent filth.” Then it clicks for Tyr, firstly these are some horribly mannered guards who probably abuse people because they feel inferior about themselves these giant bullies are beneath him. They are right about one thing and he should have realised earlier he is an internal magic-user. It would explain a lot about why his magic spells are so weak. The reason he never got it tested is that in most of his memories from the future he was an external magic-user.  While to most people the difference is nominal in players who need every ounce of power it can be a fatal mistake to not know. If ones’ magic aspect is internal or external. 

Tyr remembers the trick he has seen enough times already Aria was so good at retracting her intent some people would believe she isn’t even a magic-user. The isn’t actually to retract one’s magic but rather to make benign. Most high-level players would explode if they had to retract their large magic reverses so making it akin to natural magic power. It becomes benign people have automatically filtered for it because natural magic power is always around them. After another breath and wrinkling of his nose just like Aria use to do his magic power becomes benign. The change finally settles down the rude guards. 

Tyr says, “There are you satisfied chum?” He smiles even wider as the insult flies right over her head. She eyes him with lazy eyes her then huffs and nods her head in the direction of the building on the small platform which is presumably the operating office of the Adventure Association.  The guards follow him closely as he could attack at any time which is true but they don’t have to be so close. The players who saw this take videos and try to enter the second floor of the impressive building together. Tyr remembers how wealthy the Adventure Association actually is even an affiliate branch as low ranking as this receives a considerable amount of support. 

The lavishness makes it clear that these guys don’t understand the true purpose of the Adventure Association and also confirms why they have such a low status in the Adventure association eyes. Tyr is greeted by the fastest man he has ever seen pale and riddled with varicose veins. He wobbles out of his chair struggling to stay on his as the whole sways from side to side…
