45 The Second Trial IV : All Hands On Deck (1/2)
Spending a Saturday with Ron was quite illuminating, he was rather spirited for some reason, and I had to run after him half the time to make sure he didn't hurt himself or anything. The only problem with that, has to stem from the fact that I was the one who ended up getting hurt. Which is why when he started sleeping, I welcomed the respite. But at the very least, I could officially begin my voyage in lost descendants, so I logged back in.
When I opened my eyes, I wasn't in my spacious bedroom in the villa, rather I was in a smaller room, a little bit futuristic with it's all metal interior, the display screens, work table, and sliding glass door that led to a balcony on the back of the ship. I was on the Acheron's Grace. But with how steady the ship was, it's obvious we've not started moving yet.
I got up, and went towards the balcony, the glass doors sliding open as I got close to them, they seem to work on motion sensors. I looked out towards the island behind us, watching closely as jagged rocks rose around it's entire perimeter, thick storm clouds hung over it's head, and the huge body of the demon Sortovat, rustling the tree line, as he moved to and fro.
To be honest I wasn't exactly sure how me and Sky had survived being noticed by the demon, but I'm glad he didn't. We would have been having a very different conversation right now if I should be honest, and such conversations only means that I'm screwed.
I closed my eyes, and spread my wings. I loved the feeling in them as they caught the wind and sweet scent of the sea's breeze assailed by nose. Was this really a virtual world? Technology was awesome, but to simulate something this grand, this wonderful...…I feel like we're a century to early for that.But I could be wrong and this was just a really good game, besides the idea of this being a real world...…..forget it! I think I might have read a little too many webnovels.
I turned around and went back into what I now think should be the captain's quarters. I was wearing simple clothes, and my armor was hung on a mannequin at the edge of the room. There was a walk in closet that had a few clothes and shoes in it, but it was almost bare, and it made me feel sort of ashamed. I needed to get more clothes, but that's trouble for another day.
There was a bathroom, and while I didn't feel the need to shower, I guess it wouldn't hurt to give it a try. And I did. The bathroom wasn't really that big, I mean after all this was a ship, but I had to say it was nice. Though I was beginning to hate the silvery black coating of everything on this ship, even the furniture's had the same coating.
I got out of the bathroom, and equipped my armor, then I hung both the elven sword and Thalasio Spathi on my back. It wasn't really necessary for me to use two swords, but it was badass, so why the hell not. But before I went out, I went to the display screen on the wall, it was placed over a desk, so in s manner of speaking it was more like the monitor of a computer.
After fiddling around with for a bit, I realized that it was actually a port to the ships computer systems. And while I couldn't do anything like browse the internet, since the ship was piggy backing of the satellites of very powerful nations. I could at least check the current status of the ship.
Connection to an open network like the internet within lost descendants online was looking for trouble. But a local computer like that of the ship won't b raising any flags, since it's not required to connect to any network for it to be utilized. It was as simple as that.

There's not nearly enough skills, for me to be satisfied with what I was seeing, but at the very least this was enough. Though not everything the ship was capable of was actuallymentioned. But the skills it had at the moment was good enough for me, besides with the engine and the pulse cannon, this wasn't just a ship that was fast and could take a hit, but it could also dish out a serious amount of damage when you take things into consideration.
