Chapter 17 - Creating a Tunnel

That night, jacob springer finally acknowledge the danger of travelling the south east. Not only it has rough weather condition, it is also filled with powerful monsters. He is afraid that even if he has a golden body, his strength is not enough to defeat even one of it. Thanks to his eagles eyes and his luck, he is able to hike such dangerous path.

However, jacob figured out that south east is at least a good place to live with, and a good place to be civilized. It is near to the coastal area and has a sea nearby. They even have coconuts on it.

Jacob: A small town could even lead kingdom of atlantis to even more prosperity if a connection is established.

Jacob pondered about it for awhile.

Jacob: However the path is too dangerous. Even convoys wont survive such terrible path. Such a shame, it would be a great recreational place if recreated.

Jacob then went for a sleep.

That night a terrible dream welcomed jacob, it was the monsters of the snowy mountain and the thick forest of the north, they attacked the kingdom of atlantis with bunch of ferocious monsters. He fought back together with the atlantean warriors, it was a hard fought battle yet was destroyed by the horde of beasts. Jacob then saw the goddess of water being engulfed in a black hole. Seeing the goddess befallen, jacob run for his life. Eventually he stumbled and fall, and then he woke up.

That day, right after doing his daily chores in the morning, jacob hurriedly went around the kingdom of atlantis to hear any local news. As usual, theyre still looking for jacob springer, the champion of the tower of doom. Then jacob went straight to his friend merchant ana to ask for any information.

Ana greeted him as soon as she saw him at the market.

Ana: Jacob what are you doing here? want to buy something?

Jacob: Yes, i need a pike.

Ana: Pike? good i have one.

Ana cant help herself wonderin why jacob kept on changing his weapon. Finally, she asked jacob where he is going to use the pike for.

Ana: jacob, i would like to ask, where are you going to use this pike?

Jacob: Oh that, i was thinking on creating a diversion road on that snowy mountain.

Ana:?? what for jacob?

Jacob: Just an escape route incase of danger.

Claimed by jacob trying to hide the truth to his little friend. Yet it seems ana could see through his little trick so jacob has no other choice but to tell him the truth.

Jacob then explained how difficult it will be if the monsters from both the snowy mountain and the vast forest of the north suddenly attack the kingdom of atlantis. There will be no other escape route but to go to the south east.

However , hearing jacobs words, ana on the other hand reasured jacob of the power of the goddess of the sea.

Jacob: Perhaps you are right ana. However i'll still buy that pike. I'll be needing that one to my farm too.

Ana: Thanks for buying jacob.

Jacob then bids his good bye to his local friend and went back straight to his house.

Jacob: That dream is like a message. I cant waste my time doing nothing here.

Thus jacob started his new mission. To create a diversion tunnel at the side of snowy mountain. That way, antlanteans will be able to have an escape route towards the south east incase of beast invasion.

With a pike in his hands, jacob estimated that he would be able to create a tunnel pass in a couple of months. It would not only help the atlanteans out, he could also feel that it will also be a great training for his body. So jacob began hammering his pike on the side of the snowy mountain day and night returning for a short time to his residence for meal. It is going to be a hard quest, but he has to do it, his dreams are very alarming. Thus little by little, jacob worked it out and was able to form a cave in his first try. However it seems like he has miscalculated things, and his first pike was destroyed.

Months passed by. On the tower of doom finally 5 warriors went out of the tower, these warriors are carlos the beast, julia the mage, and three other warriors from assasins guild. Theyve reached the 8th floor and was about to head to the 9th floor, yet was defeated miserably. All of them have successfully reached level 8. Not only that, most of the atlantean have also increased their level by bits. The king himself went up to level 15, the two generals were already at level 10. While mera on the other hand is at level 11.

In a month also, mera has been getting her chances to meet jacob, but failed to do so. She wasnt able to met him evence once. Unable to thank him personally, in the end she gived up.

In that month Jacobs physique eventually were enhanced. Day and night, he is hammering his pike with out rest, and because of it, he is now a hundred times stronger than any other atlanteans warriors around. It was a great harvest, not only to his training. Thinking of harvest, he also had his first harvest on his garden. He then used them as a seedlings and store them on his backyard. That time too, jacob went to his friend ana to buy another set of pikes.

Jacob: I thought i could create a tunnel with in in a month, never did i thought that the snowy mountains base would be very tough and hard.

So jacob bought another pike, this time, jacob bought bundles of them. Grown accustomed with his new life style, jacob went straight to the cave that he had made and started hammering his pike.

3 months have passed on, 4 months have passed on and finally jacob saw a thread of light. Finallly after such a long time of hammering, he was able to create a long tunnel in the side of snowy mountain which leads to the south east portion of the land of atlantis.

Jacob: Success.

claimed by jacob as he fall to the ground..he fainted and was sent to sleep soundly.

Jacob is now a totally different person compared before. He has a very long hair, yet he still look adorable in the eyes of everyone, he looks strong, probably stronger compared before. Well who wouldnt be, he single handedly created a diversion at the hard body of the snowy mountain. A task, no single man could do in his time.

That time the goddess of time gaia was delighted of jacobs accomplishment.

gaia: little by little you are heading on your way my son. Im glad, of your accomplishment.

in the other hand another goddess was quite jealous of her. It was none other than the goddess of death thanatos.

Thanatos: Well , he is still a level two warrior. I acknowledge his tenacity though, but as long as he is your son, i will never blessed him.

Aquiarius: I acknowledge him too, so not a problem.

Claimed by another goddess beside her. It was the goddess of the sea, Aquarius. Filled with anger to the goddess of the sea, thanatos chased her once more.
