Accepting the offer, Arthur sent Korin back as a messenger to tell the warriors to be prepared to sail after a week.

After Korin leaves, Arthur opened up a zombie dungeon and grab Relim who surprisingly still alive after getting interrogated by the werewolf tribe and throw him to the dungeon to get eaten by the undead inside of it.

Dealt with all these nuisances, Arthur opened up his store and bought a < Dimensional Storage > spell for 86 thousand coins. Although his inventory that came with his Gamer ability is quite useful, Arthur already filled 85 slots out of 99. Each slot is capable of holding 999 of the same items.

Large portions of these slots filled with skills books Arthur got from the legion zombie that he still couldn't reach the recruitments to use them.

After the skill books, the second-most item he had in his inventory are various sized glass containers he crafted to increase his proficiency in manufacturing skill and then at the third place herbs, fruits that gathered from the forest, and the potions and medicines he made from them filled the rest of the slots.

Arthur was able to craft wooden containers and using a simple enhancement to increase their interior spaces but these containers size can't be bigger than 50cm in width and 50cm in height, the length of these containers has no practical limit to them since the entry point of Arthur's inventory was a two dimensional 50*50 cm^2 portal so if one side of the container could enter the portal, the rest of it could enter too but this method makes putting and taking staff from the inventory into a nightmare.

As for the spell Arthur bought from the store, its entry point could be changed any size that Arthur wish it to be, but the reason this spell so expansive is, in its first use, Arthur must spend a massive amount of mana to create a pocket dimension for himself and after the initial opening of this storage Arthur and his clone's can open and close this dimension without using a single point of mana anytime they want and depending on the size of Arthur's need for storage he can supply mana to this dimension to permanently increase its size and the final specialty of this storage is Arthur could manipulate the weight and the pressure he would fell from this storage.

After a month of training, the speed he gained points in his strength stat's slow down since reaching 50 points and gaining the perk < Enhanced Muscles I >

After buying this spell Arthur starts preparing for its activation while Helen was overseeing the process and supplying the mana stones Arthur crafted during his mana control practices.

The initial size of this dimension after its creation was 20m³, more than enough to put his skill books and other things like fruits and herbs.

He couldn't put skill books like < Wall of flames > and < Levitate > in the same slot but with his new storage, Arthur could safely store thousands of different books without a bother.

After transferring his items to pocket dimensional Arthur used his leftover mana crystal to increase the size of this dimension as much as he can.

When he finished dealing with his storage problem Arthur kept preparing for dangers he might face in the sea and send his clones to gather any type of resources he can't find when he is on the ship.

Dozens of shadow clones scanned the forest thoroughly, They gathered wild berries, fruits, lumber for the ship's repairs if there is a need to arise, and stone boulders for putting in the pocket dimension for weight training.

When the clones start putting boulders in his storage, Helen comes up with a better idea to use those stones instead of keeping them as just as dead weights.

She told Arthur that although in mana cost-wise element earth is cost lowest while manipulating the element around the caster. but when the caster decides to create the element out of his or her mana reserves, earth magic climbs the top of the list.

The cost of these earth spells even suppresses the cost of lightning and darkness type elemental spells.

Although while in the open seas using water magic would be more convenient to use, Arthur decides not to expose any other cards to his temporary crew.

Ordering his clones to focus on gathering stone boulders and he himself focusing on working on the parts he had in his storage.

Using his earth magic, Arthur first divides the large boulders into more manageable sizes, later on with using the earth magic he condenses and reshapes the stones into throwing spears and cannonball shapes.

Every single one of the items crafted weighed around 1 ton and designed to destroy anything unlucky enough to get hit by them, whether its flesh and bones of a living being or something made by wood and iron.

While crafting these stone ammunitions Arthur realized that he gained massive amounts of experience points on < Manufacturing > and < Earth Magic > skills so instead of letting it go he gave a bunch of mana potions to a clone keep crafting these stone ammunitions until he runs out of space in his storage.

Thinking himself how he finished his little self-imposed side quest Arthur remembered he got 2 real missions from his ability on his first day in One Piece world.

Opening the mission section that hasn't be touch for nearly a month, Arthur faced with a pleasant surprise.

Author Note: You guys were saying Arthur's Gamer ability had too much downgrade in stats-wise... so he got a little boost called plot armor to cover that hole.
