"HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE!!!" Andrei was looking at the fallen pieces with absolute shock, he never expected to lose.
"Well, that was checkmate, please pay up..." Alex stood up and extended his hands.
"YOU THINK I WILL ABIDE BY THE RULES???!!! YOU MUST HAVE CHEATED!!!" Andrei was about to curse Alex out but voice was heard.
"ANDREI!!! Remember what are you saying right now." Anzhel stood behind Alex and said this.
"Acussing your crewmate is a big taboo, Andrei." Dimas stood up and said this.
"You..." Andrei was about to flare up for his rules, but he noticed, he noticed the atmosphere, how Dimas had his hand on his sword, How Laszlo was sharpening his knife, for a moment he hallucinated and thought he was in a pack of locusts watching his every move waiting for him to slip up even a little bit to gather around and kill him.
"HUMPH!!! Take it, i am going to the Captain's cabin, and Gods forbid what i am going to do to whoever disturbs me." Andrei gave the bottle to Alex, went up a floor in the ship just above the crew's cabin, and said this while looking over.
Alex smiled.
"HOW DID YOU DO THAT ALEX!!!" Laszlo came rushing towards him with an enormous smile.
"Yes, i have never seen a move like this" Miloslav responded.
"Explain to us," Dimas added.
Alex looked over confused and scratched his head "I don't understand... i didn't do anything incredible, just pulled my characters in a way that was very suitable for this situation, then took advantage of Andrei's emotions of looking down on a woman and located my ship in a way i would easly be able to win any time i wanted, thats it, its the easiest move any mildly smart person could do, anyway i am going to rest now, this took a lot of mental energy out of me." Alex smiled brightly and took the bottle like it was bundle of treasure he got gifted.
"Thats..." Crewmates were dumbfounded, it actually made sense.
"Oh and, this game isn't thought out at all, there is hundreds of ways someone can make characters owerpowered enough winning will be easy as it is... so yeah." Alex said this and entered his cabin.
Leaving dumbfounded crew members.

Alex sat on his bed, light coming from the window up at the wall, he had the light hitting his body, it was a comfortable sunlight you would feel in a warm day.
"Alright... lets see if i can activate Neus." Alex took out a wooden cup and poured a little bit of KYKEON.
Under the sunlight, it looked like it was shining.
"Beautiful." Alex took the cup and a deep breath and drunk it instantly.
"Gah... Delicious..." He wiped his mouth, looks like he needed a lot more to actually experience the taste of Kykeon, it tasted like honey flavored liquor.
"Nothing?" Alex waited for a few minutes but... nothing really happened.
"Damn, this is confusing." Alex took another shot.
"Nothing... i don't feel or see anything." Alex looked around, the feeling he got of seeing the bright spots in the air didn't appear at all.
"Was that... one time thing?" Alex sighed and expressed his immense disappointment.
He took another shot.
And still nothing was happening, it was just making him really sleepy.
"Weird... i can drink a lot if i want to, how am i feeling quitszy right now." Alex shook his head and put the Kykeon down, if he wanted to sleep, he would sleep, there was nothing to do in the sea anyway.
He turned around and closed his eyes while sunlight was hitting his head.

In the night.
Boys were out in the deck having fire light up as the ship moved along the waves.
"The boys once went up in flames,
When the pirates came in rays,
Took the sailor's fisting wrath,
When they made their raging raft
Boys sunk the rafting fools
Made their eyes pop and roll
Made the fools drool and patrol
When they took them ashore.
Life flashed between their eyes
They turned side rolled their lives
Became helpers in the sea
Took them long enough as it" Boys were chanting sea shanties while dancing with the fireplace.
But they heard a noise from Captain's cabin. who was putting pillows on his ears to sleep?
"SHUUUTT UPPPP!!!" A roar of extreme wrath came down on them.
(A/N: I had too much fun writing that)
The rules stated that you couldn't make fire in the ship, because doing that was stupid.
But the controlled fire was good.
"Man, the Captain isn't fun at all isn't it." Dimas was eating the meat and smiling.
"I don't like him, is he the person you said he was?" Alex was drinking, and for some reason, he felt an immense amount of energy after sleeping when he drank Kykeon.
"I don't know if i am being honest, i have only heard of his legends, but i have not seen him in action," Laszlo responded as he drank alcohol.
"I wonder when we are going to land." Alex sighed.
"We are just a few days in the sea, calm down and get used to it, this is the life of a seal bearer like us boy." Anzhel fully drunk laughed and punched Alex's shoulders.
"Yes i guess that is true isn't it." Alex smiled and looked out into the sea, The sea smelled fresh and air was clean as well a big moon was up in the sky.
It was a beautiful night, Alex was reminiscing about his friends when he was having fun with his friends on his private boat out in the ocean.
This looked just like that.
And for the first time in forever since he came to this world and explored it some way or another.
He felt like he fit here and wasn't just a third-wheeler amongst everyone who grew up here and knew the world's rules.
He looked over to his laughing friends who were singing drinking dancing and smiling calmly.
He did it... he found good friends.
