Versatile: Alternate World

Chapter 555 The Emergence Of The Kingdom Of The Deep Sea (II)

The next day went by very quickly, I still can't imagine how Rika and I managed to properly explain how Renatta and the pixie appeared and started living with us. After I logged out from the game, I immediately checked Rika and Renatta but I found out that Janus and the siblings are now in discussion about Renatta. As much as this is mind-boggling and something that cannot be easily believed in, everyone at home immediately accepted things that are weird. In fact, they already expected things like this. I still remember the reasoning that Janus said why they were so accepting of the existence of an elf.

"If Magic exists and we can use them without problem, then that also means elves and other races that are not human also exists. Honestly, I expected them to appear sooner or later."

Thankfully, they have accepted it without much problem and that solves every single thing that I am worried about for now. That saves me too much explanation.

Day ended real quick. It's the same typical day for us so nothing interesting happening to tell. Once the weekend comes, I will go back to the workshop and continue making some stuff out of those scales.

I eat dinner early the moment I returned home before logging back to the game. There are only a few hours left before the Kingdom of the Deep Sea surfaces and I still wanted to explore the Insect Kingdom and see whether some of the secrets I remember are still there. Not only that but I should also stock up on some materials that are only native to Aquagius.

What I am more curious about is why I am being invited to the Emergence of the Kingdom of the Deep Sea. I might have done something before but that was pretty minor and there are only three NPC witnesses that have seen my exploits at that time so I don't know the main reason this invitation is being sent out to me.

[Welcome Back, Bladeheart]

The system welcomes me again as I opened my eyes and stretch my body currently lying on the bed. Being in the forest with natural air conditioning is quite a good feeling. It's like I did go on a vacation to a tropical island surrounded by nature. And although the location of the house is far from the beach, I can still smell the salty water in the air, making it more nostalgic. I kinda wanted to swim here soon once the beach in Aquagius opens. Since it isn't summertime just yet, beaches will only have limited fun at the moment.

Taking out the Versatile Weapon in my inventory, the assimilation progress is only 10% in one day. I don't know how long it will finish the assimilation. If tomorrow has assimilation of this rises to 20%, that means it has assimilation progress of 10% per day which means I needed to wait 10 days starting today to fully use the Versatile Weapon once again.

Since that is the case, that also means I also have extra time to use another class like before. This time around, let's focus on Berserker this time around. I don't think I have any skills related to the Berserker class and even though I already have the [Berserk] skill, that was on the Swordsman skill tree, the [Berserk] skill on the Berserker class is still available for purchase. The only difference between the two is that they are in different classes but function just the same so in short, getting it is just wasting my SP.

I don't have enough SP for this class so let's earn some by killing some mobs. Will be right back in a few minutes.

(Killing mobs noises because having a word-for-word battle against mobs is boring and I don't want to add ridiculous moves and cool execution movements while killing normal mobs, better save it during bosses and important enemies)

...

...

2 hours of killing mobs and monsters help gain quite a lot of workout. Not only that but swinging the heavy axe seems a lot harder. I can alternatively use the hammer version but they are just the same weight and sometimes, much heavier than battle axes. I am used to the no-weight feel of the axe version of the Versatile Weapon as they don't weigh as heavy as normal axes do so when fighting using it, I tend to have trouble immediately reacting to my enemies, especially with how slow I swing the axe against enemies. This only shows that I am overly reliant on Versatile Weapon and I needed to change for that.

Sure, they do significant damage but doing big damage against being able to dish out small but consistent damage, the clear winner is obviously the latter and the bigger damage might even get overtaken by smaller but consistent damage.

I have earned quite a lot of SP for the Berserker class but I should save that up for now. At the moment, I don't need to spend them just yet. I have to worry and practice more on how to effectively swing the axes without getting any difficulties. What's the point of having a good skill if you suck at swinging the weapon you wield? Even greatswords are much easier for me to use compared to this.

Looking at the current time in this world, I think it is time for me to head out to the harbor of Insect Kingdom. Going there much earlier will save me the time to secure a spot for watching the emergence of the Kingdom of the Deep Sea.

[Welcome to the Insect Kingdom]

A big banner is hung above the archway of the port where NPCs and players will see once they pass and enter the Insect Kingdom. The Insect Kingdom is literally taking advantage of the situation as the Insect Kingdom and the Kingdom of the Deep Sea will be adjacent to each other and the players and NPCs can travel to and fro in both kingdoms. Not only the Insect Kingdom can benefit from this, but also the Kingdom of the Deep Sea.

As I walked around, I can see that the players who have arrived had definitely decided to take advantage that they were beside a beach. Looking at the beach, even though the summer stalls are not open, I can see a lot of the players wearing swimsuits and enjoying the feeling of the Virtual Beach.

And I can say that the NPCs are also pretty smart as the moment players are taking interest in visiting the beach, some started selling swimsuits for both boys and girls and some vendors of street foods have also shifted their attention to the food that is suitable and perfect while enjoying the beach. Sure enough, I can see that it definitely works.

I can also see the reason for the player surge in Aquagius is due to the recent destruction in the Capital in Resurgia which is the main point of all business of the continent which if you compare are not that massive and as influential and rich as the main capital.

The players are clearly very excited about the Kingdom of the Deep Sea. All of the topics of the players are about the Kingdom of the Deep Sea, Mermaids, Merman, and many more. I think I was also like this before in the past timeline but I don't know if I already have been over with it already as I don't feel the same excitement as before. Perhaps that is also the downside of being able to restart anew, you go through things over again which kinda gets stale if done repeatedly.

As I started to look around the stores, I heard a horn being sounded not too far from my location. In my experience, that is the sign that the process of the Kingdom rising up above the surface is about to happen soon. I saw the insect people soldiers ready on the bridge platform, ready for deployment anytime.

Players are also getting ready to move to the waterside, waiting for the current event to eventually happen. I can hear them whispering to other players and some are looking pretty excited. Some of the players who are casual and do not share the same excitement as most players do like me are staying not too far from the harbor yet are able to properly see things quite fine.

A few more minutes of calmness in the water before everything started shaking. Some are panicking but most of the guards stationed tried their best to calm down the players and NPCs looking to make sure chaos does not occur. With this amount of shaking, I can tell that the Kingdom of the Deep Sea is about to resurface after so many years.

Soon, the water starts to sift away and buildings slowly surface above the water, revealing the majestic buildings that the Kingdom of the Deep Sea takes pride in especially their Castle.
