Corresponding information was floating besides the heads of the crew, but Roland had more pressing concerns.

'Why am I wet and naked? Are these people homosexual?' Roland suddenly remembered an article he read in his previous life titled, 'Confined at sea with no one but a crewmate, what really went on.' His heart jumped around in fear.

"Hey are you okay?" A deep voice sounded, Roland was brought back to reality. 

He looked at the person and the corresponding information appeared.

[Sepcies: Human]

Assasment Comprehensive strength: E

Danger: Extremely dangerous

It was actually the 'First Commander', his stronger then everyoneons else it seams, by the way I don't know his name so I'll call him First commander.

Roland was taken aback. He answered without thinking "Yeah I'm fine."

First commander frowned, "What happened to you just now?"

Roland thought of the system, My body wasnt transfered away to some other place? Must have been just my mind, so my body must have been lying unconciously!

This answered a few quesions but it also posed other questions. Is the place in my conciousness real? what about the temple and statues

Obviously he'd deal with these problems in the futur.

Seeing him thinking, First Commander asked, "What about the disgusting black stuff?"

Disgusting black stuff? Roland was taken aback, "I'm sorry sir but I dont know what happened , nor do I remember anything."

Roland didn't plan to tell anybody about the super system, nor the fact that he crossed over from another world. It was his biggest secret and he nerver understood why, other Main Characters would.

First Commander grunted, "Tell him what happened!"

An enthusiastic Crew mate immidiatetly moved forward and explained.

It was time to wake up, when all of a sudden Roland started sceaming. The were startled and came to investigate. They found Roland's body convulsing as if he was possesed by an evil spirit or was in excruiciation pain.

Just when he stopped for a while, black stuff suddenly appeared on the top of his skin, wrapping him like a cacoon. The black stuff was very sticky, and had a repulsive smell.

Worried, the crew removed the Substance on his body, along with his clothes. Because of the smell, his clothes were thrown away. Only after repeated washes, were they able to remove the gunk from his skin. Which left his skin as smooth as a woman's skin.

Hearing the last part about his skin, Roland frowned. He looked at the enthusiastic crewmate and a chill ran down his spine. The crewmate's friendly smile seemed to be accompanied by glowing devil eyes, in Roland's perception. His body trembled as he instictiely covered himself up.

'But judging by the events, it must have been, when I was in that pond of Styx! So the black substance was probably, what the system calls impurities.' Roland's sighed in relief. 'At least nothing bad happened.'

"So any idea?" First commander's imposing voice despelled Roland's thoughts.

Roland, slowly shook his head without thinking. He couldn't tell the truth as he'd have to expose the system. 

First Commander's gaze suddenly became sharp. Roland felt a little uncomfortable. Just then...

*Growl*

Roland's stomach interrupted the staredown, he felt a wave of hunger assaulting him.

First Commanders's gaze relaxed, he grinned and said, "It's good that your hungry, get your mop and dress up. Cause the deck needs servicing."

Roland felt like the was something wrong with those words and the order they came in; 'Why get the mop first? Shouldn't. I get dressed first?'

"First Commander bad news!"

Just as Roland was looking at the captain suspiciously, a shout sounded in the room.

The crew quickly made way and the man arrived in front of the captain, "Captain we've encountered a school of flying fish?" 

As soon as his words fell, everyone's expression quickly turned solemn. The previous atmosphere became stiff.

"Everyone grab your weapons and head above board!" Without hesitation, First commander issued his order and everyone become serious and moved quickly without hesitation.

Roland noticed the shift in emotions, First Commander must really be a capable person. This made Roland admire him, and admire the soldiers loyalty even more.

Seeing them all leave, Roland quickly changed his clothes and grabbed his mop, before he left the room. The ship swayed from left to right as Roland made his way above deck.

'Flying fish? Like the bear?' Just as Roland was wondering how a beverage could harm someone, he saw something whizzing just before him.

'!!! Was that a fish?' Roland broke out in cold sweat. 'If i was a step to fast that could have been my head'

Roland looked at the situations.

The rain fell, high speeding objects moved left and right in the darkness of the clouds. The crew mates swung their swords trying to cut the fishs that were flying fast. Everything was in chaos.

The were pieces of the ship on the ground, it seemed like the fight started some time ago.

*Bam*

Just then, First Commander jumped from the top deck and landed heavily on deck, "Everyone gather around the main mast. Close all the other sails besides the big one!" 

As son as, First Commanders voice sounded, everyone regained their fighting spirit and followed his orders. The commander swung his sword, and a fish was cut in half and landed on the ground. 

The speed of his swing was above the other sailors, he was also more precise then them. 

The crew imitated him, while others were lucky, others weren't able to cut anything. The fish were the size of a person's arm, they were green and had blue patterns on their heads. They also had sharp teeth that protruded outside their skulls. 

Due to the new formation, the crew didn't have to worry about sneak attacks from behind them.

A fish was cut in half and landed in front of Roland, his mind moved and he activated the passive ability, {Keen intuition}.

Assasment Comprehensive strength: F

Information about the Flying Fish, flashed in Roland's eyes as the fishes whizzed by.

'These things are scary!' Roland couldn't help breaking out into cold sweat, he could barely keep up with the flying fish's movement. 

He took a step back and hid inside the staircase. He poked his head to look at the situation.

Time slowly passed, the deck was littered with pieces of the ship, blood of the crew mate, and corpses of the fish. There were casualties on both sides but the crew suffered less, due to the formation, they didn't have to worry about any sneak attacks coming from their blind spots.

Pretty soon, the ship made it out of the cloudy area, and the attacks stopped. The ship had taken a considerable amount of punishment. The big sail was torn apart and the ship was missing a few important parts.

The crew was still standing, albeit exhausted and barely standing, but they were standing nonetheless. 

Just as Roland was admiring the crew, he suddenly felt heavy breathing dangerously close, coming from behind him.

He finally gets some skills
