Year 34 of the Human Calendar - Oceanic Airspace - Antonov
"AHOOOOOOOOOYYY!!" Cid
I wake up to the screams of the captain.
[Good morning Linjian]
(Good morning Maria)
[Did you sleep fine?]
(I sleep as well as in my bed)
The beds inside the ship are made of steel and are embedded in the wall, outside of that and the slight movement of the boat there really is no difference from sleeping in a house.
[Then lets get ready before your shift starts]
I have breakfast in the dining room, I do some exercises in the gym, I take a shower in the bathroom and I go up to the deck.
[We still have supplies for five months]
(I don't think this amount of food is necessary, but it is better to be careful)
...
I open the hatch.
*Fuuuuuuuiiiiiiiiiuuuuuu*
And the strong wind greets me.
[Hello to you too]
(...)
Right now we are 15 km above the ocean.
[Lets see them! lets see them!]
Maria speaks like a little girl.
(I don't know what do you see on it)
I walk to the railing at the edge of the boat and look down.
[Awesome as ever, flying ships are the best ❤]
The clouds became a white sea for the Antonov.
(I admit this is a good view, but there is no need to do this everyday)
It's been eight days since we got on board and she insists on doing it every morning.
[I like it and that is the end of the conversation]
"Master Hero" ???
A girl with short hair and a red tie-back headband, bows before me.
"Please continue my training with this time before your shift begins" Mai
The granddaughter of Yue and Tang is doing it again.
[She really is hard headed]
"I already told that you don't need to bow before anyone" Linjian
I really don't like that.
"I am not doing it because I need to, I am doing it to show respect to the first hero of humanity" Mai
[Respect is important]
"...Could you at least call me Linjian?"
"...Master Hero sounds better" Mai
[She really is her granddaughter]
(...)
After that I took some earth from the tank on the ship and trained her with an Earth Elemental Monster until my shift.
...
At midday I went to the center of the ship.
"THE FIRST KING IS HEREE!!!"
Atop the ship's main mast, Cid talks to the crew.
"SHIFT CHANGE!!!" Cid
I focus on the full extent of the structure and...
"Earth Manipulation" Linjian
I deny the weight of the ship, a work that usually needs twenty people.
"Uff" Earth manipulator A
"What a relief" Earth manipulator B
The people of the previous shift go inside the ship, leaving Only one Earth manipulator holding up the ship.
"Thanks you Anointed king" Earth manipulator C
"Thanks you first king" Earth manipulator D
[You can tell which generation they are from by the way they address you]
(Lets focus on the work)
Each shift consists of eight hours, there are three teams of the necessary quantity of manipulators that rotate constantly to maintain Antonov in the air.
(I have to do my part)
...
...
Ten days after departing, while I was training Mai...
"LAND IN SIGHT!!" Honoka
"!!!" Cid
"!!!" Linjian
"!!!" Mai
We reached the South Continent.
"This means we are going to land already? I wanted to continue with the training" Mai
She pouts.
"...No" Linjian
"In the southeast!" Honoka
"WIND MANIPULATORS! MAPPING SPEED TO EAST!!" Cid
"?" Mai
"We first need a map and a suitable location for a settlement" Linjian
[Time to stalk a continent]
"That means..." Mai
The Elemental Monster rise again.
"Get ready" Linjian
She smiles.
...
...
Sharpshooter, a skill that allows to shoot any kind of projectile with an improvement to the sight.
It may seem like a great skill, but it has downsides.
1. This ability does not increase the user's aim, even if you can see the target and have enough mana that doesn't mean anything if the arrows don't hit it.
2. The power of the shoot decreases every ten meters, making it useless against same level threats.
3. Each shoot cost MP and has a recoil between them.
4. View enhancement is based on a multiplication of the user's base view capacity, someone with a bad view capacity will never be capable of being a good Sharpshooter.
These are the reason why only a few of the residents of the Holy Land of Xue had this skill, but right now what I need isn't a fighter.
What I need is a scout.
Honoka has great dexterity and impressive eyesight, making her the perfect cartographer.
"This is the map of the South Continent" Honoka
She put a piece of paper on a table in the captain's room.
"Thanks Honoka" Linjian
After a month of the first glance of the land, the first map of the South Continent is complete.
"I am happy to help" Honoka
[Her face really shows that]
"But this isn't only my work, captain thanks for this opportunity" Honoka
"Enough of thanks, we are here to decide the landing zone of The wise giant of the sky" Cid
The new continent is almost three times bigger than the previous one.
"The yellow dots mark visibly smaller cities" Honoka
[Most likely the domain of a gold rank city lord]
(Five of them)
"The Green dots mark visibly larger cities" Honoka
[Most likely the domain of a jade rank city lord]
(Four of them)
"..." Honoka
"Anointed king and first king of the south, please choose our destination" Cid
"..." Linjian
[A few kilometers east of the center there is a good place]
(I was about to say the same thing)
I use my index finger to point to a place on the map.
"This place will be our new home" Linjian
"I would have chosen the same" Honoka
Cid opens the door and scream outside.
"WIND MANIPULATORS! EAST!!!" Cid
[Those are good lungs]
"TO OUR NEW HOME!!!" Cid
