Well, ain't that charming. I got me a bloody system.
Would do wonders for a lad stranded in the ocean puking his guts out.
Don't you love it when you are in a raft in the middle of the ocean in the scorching sun with sea sickness. An experience of a lifetime. But I am gonna double it and pass the experience to another person.
Bloody hell! Where does my body even get the stuff to vomit out? I been at it for so long, I don't even know how long.
At the very least right now, I am good enough to read the notifications. The words are silver and nice to look at. But damn this nausea is making it hard to appreciate it.
Bleghh!
I am all out of the vomiting stuff. I hope. Don't wanna continue vomiting like that. My chest tightens more than I like it to. I might die faster vomiting than the lack of supplies and sun can kill me.
Aghh! Nausea time. I guess I got some time to read the silvery notification before I vomit my guts out.
So novice mission choose a faction. Seems easy. I just need to know what faction there are and choose what suits me best. I don't see the time limit so this should be easy.
Summary in pirate slang. Nice! system.
Even the first line feels ominous. Treacherous water! Betrayal! Kraken lurking!!!!
Damn! don't tell me, I am in Pirates of Caribbean. And I am in a ocean floating in a raft. And I am not white. I am brown. Fuck the slavers would sell me for a dollar and spend it on drinking and whores. Guess I will be dying before I meet a decent person. Press F to pay respect to a fallen soldier who couldn't even finish reading the system notification before he passed away from the treacherous karken, from a average nobody pirate, from corrupt marines, slavers or just the waters.
Any and every options in this water could ,no, will kill me. Marines could help me but if it's the 16th century it's highly likely they would kill me just based on the fact that I am not white and what logical thing would a uneducated marine would think seeing a brown man on the open sea. A pirate. A scavenger. A monkey.
Yeah, I am getting blown to bits by cannon balls before I even get to see a officer face to face.
Even if they let me board their ship. Unlikely but if they do I would at most meet a bored captain of the ship interested in my misfortune. I could charm him with stories of some myths and legend enough for some coins or currency.
But yea, the captain would be charmed by stories spoken by man suffering from sea sickness while in the waters. Yea a big fat zero.
Dignity. Self Respect. Honor. A Bottom Line. Looks like I need to turn a blind eye to them if I wanna survive, thrive in this man eat man world.
And do I wanna survive that way? Throwing away my dignity, my pride, crossing the bottom line I kept my whole life just to live a couple more days.
And if my facts are right, people fucked even goats or whatever that has holes in this century. I am clean by this era standard even if I am unsuited to it. Chances are high that commoners, pirates heck even marines would rape me. And seeing that women bring bad luck in the ocean, It is a fact that pirates, merchants, marines all had a taste of their comrades. I won't be left alone especially since I don't match the aesthetic of the majority. I might be literally or figuratively fucked.
Do I want that?
Fuck no! If I am gonna die, I am gonna die with my pride intact, my bottom line uncrossed, my honor, self respect and dignity held as straight as the flag that destroys the fucking rainbow. You can disrespect it, trample it, but you cannot deny it.
What is living worth if you are already dead on the inside?
I am bringing my own morale down. Ahoy mates! Onward to the second line. Waves bring life and death, understandable. Reminder for the breathing, they be harbinger of doom basically the same. Waves can kill and also give life.
Choices offered by the sea to the bold. I like that.
Seek 'Freedom in death' or endure shackles of life. Freedom in death. Freedom in death. I don't know why but I like that. Freedom in death. Endure shackles of life isn't that basically society.
I don't know why but Freedom in death struck a cord and its ringing at full volume. Time will tell if the cord that was struck was good or A-minoorrrr.
Haha! Joke aside. First paragraph says choices would be offered by the sea and I just gotta be bold enough to take it even if it means to fight the waves that might bring life or death all at the mercy of the ocean. The waters are treacherous and so will be the one who sail in it. Betrayal is a common theme. And from the choices of the sea that was offered I can seek freedom in death or endure the shackles of life. Choose between living in a society or dying a death I won't regret.
A little ominous but all the sea asks is boldness with the willpower to do what you want, get what you seek. And what does a person want in these treacherous water.
Adventure.
Adventure of a lifetime. Adventure fit to be story lore.
Freedom.
Freedom to make his own choice. Freedom to control his destiny and write it himself.
Riches.
Riches enough to satiate their avarice. Riches enough to fill the coffers of the never ending vault.
I love it.
I can even feel my adrenaline pump, my heart beat. Even my nausea and vomiting seemed to slow down.
Freedom. Adventure. Riches. Choice.
The words only applicable to the rich while I was in society working and studying to get by as an average mid- middle class economy. Working so hard to stay in the economy class I was born into. Freedom. Adventure. Choice. Everything was given. Yes, but all that was given was a illusion. A illusion to make what the people at the top needed not what I wanted to be.
An illusion of choice, a reason for all the people to pretend to be happy in the end and to get crushed by reality in the end. Inflation. Corruption. Status Que.
Sigh. I guess I won't fit well with most of the Naruto world. Or would I? I don't really know myself. A happy but fake life or a harsh, unforgiving but a real life? Maybe I already have the answer to this riddle.
Hah! I am pretty good at overthinking. Now on to the subject.
Choose wisely, Self-Explanatory. Traveler, basically me if I continue down the path I take. Can't be a traveler if you won't travel down your destination, can you? Uncharted Extremes be a place where no compass points true to yer fate. Uncharted Extremes feels like a cool place to adventure to. But why would the place make compasses invalid? What kind of compass points to someone's fate. Jack Sparrow Compass! Now, Now, What kind of places are those that make even the Calypso blessed Compass invalid.
Or could it mean something different? Uncharted Extremes as my future and the compass my performance, deeds, actions, feats. So, My future be a place where no feats of mine points true to mine fate.
Interesting. My future is an unwritten story on the empty pages of my empty books. And my actions, feats, performance mayn't point to my future. My future may change based on them but the change in future will not fully depend on them.
Then, what are the other factor that may change the ever-changing future of mine. Society, The people I interact with, The people whose fate I influence or something extreme.
The adventure has begun even before it truly began. And I am in the 2nd paragraph. Call me McDonald's cause I am loving it.
Slow down heart. I gotta survive first. Let's finish the summary first.
Third paragraph. Fickleness of these waters like a siren's song—calm one moment, a fearsome tempest the next. I don't know where but the system is going places. It compared the ocean to a women in her period. It takes guts when even the creator doesn't know what women think.
Haha. Let's see what if its Pirates of the Caribbean, then Does it refer to Miss Swan, Sparrow's past fling or the goddess Calypso. Definitely Calypso being a goddess who played Davy Jones like a dog and left him in the streets. She is the ocean herself, fickle and all powerful. She could control the ocean with a wave of her hand and can maybe read anyone's memory or influence their action if they are in her domain.
Read memories. Shit!
Ahem, Calypso if you are alive and listening, I didn't mean you so please spare the mortal me from your wrath. I don't wish for a more violent weather to kill me before I die reading the notification. I will sacrifice few pirate lord head if I get the chance to kill them. So spare me a mortal from your wrath.
I waited to see change in the weather. No changes. Does it mean Calypso is still bound in her human form? Or is the system protecting me? Or the promise of the sacrifice of few pirate lord satisfied her? Shit! Did I sign some devil contract with her just by thinking of her? Or is she asleep? I hope she is asleep.
Shit! Shit! Me and my thoughts. I am gonna die cause of it.
The ship has sailed and I jumped from it when it was sailing.
Btw, Do sirens exist here? I would love to see one in the flesh. They do say a siren lures sailor on the sea with their singing. Their singing I wanna hear it. Would it be a seductive or a luring song. Will they lure me in with temptation and captivate me with their seductive alluring song. So curious.
Onward to notification. Fourth paragraph. Remember, Trust be as rare as a clear sky on a stormy night. Trust none but yer own cunning. Simple. Trust is rare even in the society and its bound to be rarer in these scum filled waters. I can trust none other than my own cunning. So, there is only me who can trusts me. While there is a chance I might find someone to trust chances are low. Wrong place Right person type scenario.
Fifth and the finale paragraph. For in these waters, there be no compass that guides better than yer own gut. And yer gut, it be usually spot on. So in these water trust is rare and gut or rather the instinct is better to be followed as it is usually right.
Usually. Interesting choice of word. Usually. So even instincts are 80-90% correct. And if we go by the 4th paragraph trust is rare in these water. So, could it be that even the instincts can be influenced to believe that right is wrong? Or is the system contradicting itself? Or is the trust issues only from the inhabitants of the world? Or is even the results of the system untrue?
Or is this a test? A try? A try to influence my uncharted extremes to their liking, to their desire, to the will of this world, to the system desire?
Is this the choice the waters have given me? A fickle choice indeed. The waters really want to see me under her skirt down on my knees. Yikes! but I don't like Yanderes.
And if the waters are truly fickle, Can they be influenced? Can they be controlled? Are they a slave of their emotions?
Questions. And no answers in sight.
Yet.
