The Immortal Player

Chapter 25: Naga Kingdom?

"We're almost there! Keep up the pace!" Madame Soledad and Pedro were standing on a cliff as the sun sets beautifully in the distant sea.

"Yes!" Pedro was full of glee, besides the view of the beautiful sunset by the sea, the night rising, emphasizes the blue and violet glowing crystals that were embedded in Naga Kingdom's walls.

"Such a beautiful view!" Pedro can't help but exclaim while walking down the mountain.

"beautiful but deadly! Hahaha!" Madame Soledad destroyed his happiness with a sentence. The world of Bearth was truly beautiful and mesmerizing that people forgot the dangers that are present in the wilderness, hence, many became victims to it.

During the official launch in Pedro's past life, casual players that spawn near areas with beautiful views were immediately captivated. They spent their time roaming around, fascinated by the views until it became dark.

As night comes, nocturnal monsters came out. They often roam around isolated areas and hunt on anything that is alone or are less in number. Hence, many players died, It was the same to NPC who travels for the first time.

Those NPCs who survives the first night of their journey learns the cruelty of the world and either return to where they came from or became a "wanderer". A wanderer was a rank given by the Kingdoms into which an NPC can become a messenger, hunter or any job that involves one to go to the wilderness for more than one day. It was the riskiest and deadly job over being soldiers.

...

Just as the sun was completely gone, Pedro and Madame Soledad reached a small abandoned port just miles away from the Naga Kingdom.

"Are we talking a boat to the Kingdom?" He curiously asked as he was unable to grasp what was Madame Soledad's plans.

"When did I ever said we are going to a kingdom?" Madame Soledad boarded a wooden, old looking boat that can cater only two people.

"Hop in! we must reach the ship before the "Bof" is completely gone!" Having various experiences in his past life, Pedro was able to ride the boat smoothly and was even able to row the boat with Madame Soledad. With this, their speed was faster compared to when only Madame Soledad was rowing the boat.

"We're not going to the Kingdom?" Pedro asked with a depressed look. He had hoped to claim some of the Treasures he know in the Naga Kingdom and to even challenge the King by using Madame Soledad's reputation and him being a skill-maker.

"Kingdom? We're going somewhere better! So shut your mouth and just follow! And by the way! We will travel in the waters for four days! So don't worry about your sickness... You can rest immediately when we arrive... Also... If you had free time in the last two days, I can teach you the basics of skill-making!" Pieces of information bombarded Pedro, Although he was depressed that they were not going to the Kingdom, His morale was lifted a bit when Madame Soledad said that she would finally teach Pedro the basics of Skill-Making.

"Madame is really considerate! Knowing that my heart was broken knowing that we would not go to the Kingdom, you tried to lift my morale by showing your concerns and finally deciding to teach me the basics of skill-making!" Pedro responded that made the feeling a bit awkward.

"You're my apprentice! It's of natural for me to care for your condition! If it worsens and made you useless, It would also reflect my name as a Master! So remember that! And! NEVER SLACK OFF!" Madame Soledad scolded then she had a slight grin on her face.

...

Minutes after they sail, the sun was already gone and the moon rises.

"Look! That's the ship!" Madame Soledad suddenly became happy.

"A ship? more like a Yacht!" Madame Soledad keep mentioning about a ship but what Pedro saw was a Yacht, So he mocked the confident Madame Soledad.

"Hehe... Let's see how long you'd have that smug in your face!" She replied with confidence to Pedro.

As soon as they reached the "ship" a man of the same age as Pedro was waiting aboard. He wore a formal attire looking like a mansion butler. He bowed slightly as a sign of respect to Madame Soledad.

"Thank for waiting, Carlos!" She said as she took an overcoat that was placed on a seat. It was white with an orange lining on it and has three golden stars in both of her shoulders. On her back, there was something written largely.

"Vicealmirante"

When Madame Soledad wore the overcoat, she looked awesome but for some reason, Pedro was about to burst into laughter.

'HAHAHAHA! a vicealmirante of a yacht? She could have just told me that she owned this Yacht!' Pedro taught inwardly

"Why are smiling? was there a stain in my overcoat? Carlos!" Madame Soledad called Carlos as he noticed Pedro who was about to burst into laughter.

"Oh... there is no stain! my apologies! I just remembered something that I had experienced. Whenever I went to a beach, a bird always poops on my shirt whenever I wear white colored shirts. Hence, I decided to never wear white colored shirts ever!" Pedro bluffed his way out, he doesn't want Madame Soledad to know what he really thought.

"Well... you gotta bear with it! It's some sort of uniform here!" Madame Soledad tossed an overcoat of the same color and lining but it has a black triangle in both of his shoulders. In his back, there was also something written, where the first word looked altered.

"Apprentice Class" Pedro had a grim look. 'was there even an apprentice class? the United Continent Army has a ranking system and based on my past life, the lowest was "private class"... seeing this altered... this was definitely a private class overcoat! da@@!!! Madame really underestimates my capabilities! Just wait and see!'

...

"Vicealmirante"

"Apprentice Class"

After wearing the overcoat, Madame Soledad went down on a stair that might be heading to the rooms so Pedro followed.

"It has been a long time since the Madame took in an apprentice... Something big might happen!" Carlos uttered as he watched an awesome scene of Madame Soledad and Pedro going down the stairs with their overcoat on.

"Elder brother! I have placed Madame's boat safe and secure!" a big man with a big voice uttered.

"Then, let's get in the Karakoa! We are about to depart!" Carlos went down the stairs with the big man who had a similar outfit with him.

...

In the bridge of the "ship"...

"Comandante! Comodoro de Armada! the Vicealmirante is on board! Carlos contacted us and was done on the departure preparation!"

"Then, Let's go!" a bearded man that looked like a Japanese middle-aged man claimed as he looks to a woman near the captain's seat! He was wearing circular glasses, a white long sleeves tacked in slacks partnered with shiny black shoes and his overcoat on top. His overcoat has two "Sun" looking symbol with eight rays on it that made it look similar to an asterisk, in each of his shoulders and something written on the back of his overcoat.

"Comandante"

...

"SET SAIL!" A Filipina looking woman in her thirties commanded in response as she stands near the center seat, captain of the ship's seat, in the bridge of the ship. She wore a white long-sleeved polo tacked in her black skirt paired with a fancy looking running shoes and an overcoat. Her overcoat has one star in each of her shoulders and something written on the back of her overcoat.

"Comodoro de Armada"

...

Somewhere in the main castle of the Naga Kingdom...

"Grandpa! Let's go! Let's go!" A child, well dressed, pulled an old man that looked like a royalty or noble.

"Alright! Alright!" The elder responded.

"I wanna see Aunt Soledad's ship!" The child rushed to the balcony, overlooking the vast sea!

"I wanna see the famed Karakoa!"
