Chapter 252

Anton and the group of young men ate until they were full and when he saw that every one of them was satisfied, the interview began.

The young men shared a lot of information with him that the youths had gathered since they were young living in the port city of Whaling.

The first continent they talked about was the one farther east which was six months by ship away from the continent of Rendindura. Supposedly, that continent was called Huoxi.

The first kingdom that one ...

Chapter 251

Anton learned a lot about the Kingdom of the Okan from the now-drunk merchants. The continent where the Okan was located consisted of several large countries and kingdoms as well much like Rendindura so it was a viable location for them to travel to. He did note that according to Nunda, even though their continent was two months travel by ship, it was considered one of the nearest continents here which made him hesitate.

He didn’t want to travel somewhere nearby. Although there was a ...

Chapter 250

It was lunchtime when they finished talking about what they planned to do next while they were in Whaling so they went to the common room to eat but when they arrived there he saw that some of the merchants from the caravan that they joined to travel to Whaling was there. They were all surprised since they knew that the people from that caravan were citizens of Whaling, meaning they had their own business establishments and homes in the city.

Anna squealed and ran towards her two new gi...

Chapter 249

The smell of the ocean was the first thing that informed Anton that they were nearing the coastal city of Whaling. The smell brought forth some almost forgotten memories of when he was a child and his parents on Earth brought him to the beach for a family vacation. Those were the happiest days of his life back then so the smell lifted his mood abundantly.

“Why are you so happy?” Anna asked when he noticed Anders smiling joyfully.

“I just smelled the ocean and it smelled...

Chapter 248

Anton was thankful that his family pointed out Frederick as the archmage in their group. That meant that the merchants didn’t bother him and went to bother the mage instead. This allowed him to concentrate on leveling up and studying the magical hoverboard item project that was based on the Telekinesis spell.

He actually had a prototype of the enchanted item already and the only thing that he was doing was perfecting the item like making the mana storage more efficient so that a full ...

Chapter 247

During their travel to the coastal city of Whaling, Anton realized that everyone was suffering due to the Undead Coalition’s attack. Even the villages and towns they passed through were feeling the results of the hostile attacks done by the undead. Because of the refugees that managed to escape the conquered cities, the refugees were now going to the villages and towns but since they couldn’t accept a huge amount of people, most of the refugees were turned away.

However, the refugee...

Chapter 246

When Lucas told Anton that it would only take three more weeks before they reached the coastal city of Whaling, he got excited. Whaling City represented the gateway for him to reach the other continents and he could not almost wait to find out what magical adventures he would encounter there together with his family and friends.

Listening to the others talking, specifically Anna, Ramona, and Belinda, they too were extremely excited to begin their adventure on the other side of the plane...

Chapter 245

One good thing about his Diablo II system, Anton could work on repairing the items they received from the bandits while they were traveling. He just needed to enter the world of Sanctuary and have any of the blacksmiths repair the items that he stored in his inventory and voila, it was done.

After that Anton would just retrieve the items from his inventory and allow his father and the others to sort them out and then Anders could store them in his spatial item. He was a bit thankful tha...

Chapter 244

After the television show Xena: Warrior Princess ended, the merchants and their family approached their camp again. Several of them were young men and women and they approached Anton. There were six of them and they introduced themselves to Anton, Anna, Ramona, Belinda, and Lunelle who were gathered together. Three were from one of the caravans heading to Homura and the other three were from the caravan heading to Whaling.

“We saw that you’re the one controlling the spell that showe...

Chapter 243

Anton and his group left the town of Berluna early the next day. Anna made a comment that she was glad that they were on the road again since that would allow them to watch the television shows and she missed watching Xena: The Warrior Princess.

“Xena?! You meant that you missed watching Wesley Crusher,” Ramona teased.

“I do not!” Anna shouted.

“Yes, you do! You got a crush on Wesley Crusher!” Belinda joined her twin in teasing Anton’s sister.

Anton laugh...

Chapter 242

The next day, they still planned to stay in town to rest for a whole day and would leave to continue their journey early the day after.  Anton woke up later than usual since when he checked the time, it was already nine in the morning. He was a bit grateful that no one disturbed him and when he went downstairs to eat, he was surprised to see that he wasn’t the only one who woke up late.

Anton saw Devon, Colin, and Frederick having breakfast so he joined them.

“What did yo...

Chapter 241

Anton remained in the town park resting and relaxing for a bit. He wanted to look at the trees and flowers there since they were amongst the most beautiful that he had seen and since they had been traveling for a while, he had seen a lot.

Suddenly, two children dressed in worn-out old but clean clothes approached him.

“Excuse me, sir. We heard from Edna that you’re a wizard. Can you help us? Our mother is sick. We’ll pay you,” The older child said who was a girl who looked...

Chapter 240

In the villages along the way, they only stop for a few hours but in the town of Berluna, Anders announced that they would stop for a day and night and would leave early the next day. They did arrive early, around 10 in the morning so that meant they had several hours and a whole night to rest in town. They rented rooms in the best inn in town, which wasn’t saying much since there were only two inns in the town of Berluna but the town was still large enough that they could entertain themsel...

Chapter 239

When the pilot episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation ended, everyone was still contemplating the show they had seen. Anton was surprised to see Anna and the Twins had tears in their eyes.

“The huge powerful beings were so full of joy and gratefulness that even though their power is like that of a god, they communicated to that beautiful woman who can read feelings, of their joy and gratefulness,” Anna had said while sighing.

“Are those two beings so large that they are l...

Chapter 238

Anton and their group left the city of Homura early the next day. The only thing that Anton could say was at least everyone was used to traveling and because of magic, their travel was comfortable enough. Their carriages were nice, their tents at night were comfortable, they had delicious food to eat, their entertainment was top-notch, and they could drink magic water that kept them young and beautiful.

The problem was the roads were not a home. It would still be infinitely better if th...

Chapter 237

Anton enjoyed the lunch that he ate from the high-end restaurant but held off his urge to order a lot of food that he could store in his private stash since when the last time he checked, there was still a huge amount of food remaining there. After lunch, he asked the waiter which store had the biggest collection of spells that he could purchase and because of the generous tip that he gave, the waiter was more than happy to name the store and to give him directions.

After a few minutes,...

Chapter 236

Anton searched for the biggest store in the market that he stumbled into. He was led to it by one of the pedestrians in the street. The moment he entered the huge store, he searched for a salesperson who could assist him. The store looked like a bigger version of the store that they had made in Zalnothel. Some sort of mall-like store that sold everything. They also even had a magic item section.

One of the salesmen approached him wearing some sort of uniform since he wasn’t the only o...

Chapter 235

During the last seven days of travel before reaching the city of Homura, Anton reached level 80 on his druid character. His leveling up was faster since he was using the on-screen option which was just like playing his character in front of a computer. One major difference was he didn’t need a mouse and a keyboard since he could control his character with his mind.

Anton still preferred to play personally by entering the world of Sanctuary since his body would get used to the flow of ...

Chapter 234

The town of Vumar was twice as large as Norad Town that it almost seemed like a city. They arrived in the town at around eight in the morning and after spending a huge amount of time with the town guards reassuring them that the Dire Wolves were summoned animals that wouldn’t hurt anyone on command, they managed to find and rent rooms at an inn at around eleven in the morning.

After they secured their rooms, they all stayed in the common room to eat lunch but after that, they all went...

Chapter 233

The next day, Anton and his group left the campground early. The minstrels were still resting and they didn’t want to disturb the traveling musician’s rest so they left quietly. Anton felt that it was too bad since he had managed to establish a good relationship with the traveling musician group.

If the situation was different, he wouldn’t mind living his life as a traveling musician but Anton still preferred to become a powerful wizard instead of a bard or a minstrel since he kne...

Chapter 232

Everyone was busy in the campground. The women continued their cooking while Anna joined them and kept complaining bout their father taking the Grizzly Bear.

Since he kept being interrupted, Anton decided not to enter his Diablo II game system and joined in on the fun. He first arranged the white blanket that would serve as their screen so he didn’t have to set it up later. He then tried to ask the women if they needed help but they just subtly drove him away. He decided to water the ...

Chapter 231

Anton stared at the bandit warrior and mage who were kneeling confronted by the three huge Dire Wolves.

“Lord Archmage, please have mercy. We didn’t know that you were with the carriage.”

“You tried to kill my people and I consider them my family. What would you do if someone tried to kill your family?”

Anton could see that the two men realized that they would not be forgiven for what they had done. The warrior stood up and ran towards him while holding a short swo...

Chapter 230

That night, they continued watching the TV show Hercules: The Legendary Journeys while they ate dinner and were glad that everyone was still enjoying the show. He could hear the men in the group mocking the fight scenes and questioning the choices that the choreographer made when planning the action sequence. They learned the terms from Anton when they asked about the details of the scenes to which Anton just informed them that he didn’t know why those choices were selected since he was not...

Chapter 229

Anton knew that crossing the ocean was just his desire to explore the world and not just to escape the Undead Coalition. He knew that there was a chance that they would encounter an equal or even greater danger in the lands across the ocean and if he was alone, he wouldn’t hesitate to go ahead and continue without stopping.

Anton’s plans were all tentative anyway so he didn’t focus on them too much. The cities that they would arrive in would inform them of what their final decisio...

Chapter 228

The next day after breakfast, Anton cast his cleaning spells several times to make sure that everyone's things were clean. Nemina admitted that Anton’s cleaning spell was highly convenient since they didn’t have to worry about their laundry. Even the carriages and all of their horses were clean.

Anton was also glad that he took the time to learn the cleaning spell from spellbooks since they discovered that not only it could clean their things, but it could also clean the dirt from t...

Chapter 227

Anton and the whole group watched the first two episodes of the television series Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. His opinion about the show was that it was cheesy and it was understandable that the special effects were not great, at least, compared to movies. According to reviews, it was one of the definitive fantasy TV shows of the 90s like Xena: Warrior Princess.

Everyone looked like they very much enjoyed the show though and Anton remembered that they were not like him who had gro...

Chapter 226

Anton complained a bit about the fact that his father forced him to show movies every night while they camped.

“Is it going to be very difficult for you to do that,” Ander asked concernedly.

“No, I was just being a jerk,” Anton then laughed.

Of course, he would follow his father’s command since based on everyone’s reaction, all the group members were in favor of it and as a matter of fact, Anna was truly excited and kept pestering Anton about what movies he would...

Chapter 225

Anton checked the time in his browser and saw that it was only five in the afternoon so he decided to earn more coins. He went into another bazaar and talked to the merchants about the items that would have sold for a lot more money if they weren’t damaged or if they were new. He unhesitatingly purchased them then once he asked Charsi to repair them, sold them back to other merchants.

After a couple of hours, he earned another four hundred gold coins which he stored in his inventory. ...

Chapter 224

After a week of travel, Anton and his family and friends arrived in the city of Greton. The city was smaller than Zalnothel but it still boasted huge walls. Although Greton’s walls were impressive they were nowhere near as impressive as the walls of Zalnothel and Anton could see that everyone realized that the city, when attacked by the Undead Coalition, wouldn’t fare any better than the previous cities before Zalnothel.

During the week that they were traveling, Anton spent a huge a...

Chapter 223

Anton and his family and friends continued their journey the next day. Devon was particularly active in roaming around since he enjoyed riding the Dire Wolf due to how fast it was. Devon said that it felt like he was flying when he moved about with the wolf and Anton could see that Lucas’s son was becoming truly besotted with the dire wolf.

Anton thought that maybe he should warn the man that the wolf was still his summon and tied to him but he just left Devon be. He wondered if he co...
