Ship Ride

"Ashly, I-I don't think anyone said anything about leaving," Luke said putting his hands up like he was about to get a punch.

"Are you sure Luke," Ashly said tilting her head as she held the knife up. She looked like something out of a scary movie.

"Ashly put the knife down. I'm not going anywhere." Luke was shaking scared.

Ashly's eyes shot across the room at The king.

"Are you the one who's trying to take Luke from me?" She gazed intensely into the King's eyes.

"No, you crazy weirdo, stop acting like this. Because at this point I'm just expecting you to start speaking in tongues." The king wasn't fazed at all.

"Then who are you." Ashly raised the knife at him.

"Well crazy tramp, my name is Tom. As for why I'm in this room... I am a relationship concealer, here to help you and Luke... With your relationship." The king was always good at making up stuff on the spot, whether it's believable or not is a hit or a miss.

"There is no way she is going to believe that." Musabi thought to herself.

"Wait...really?" Ashly snapped out of crazy mode.

"She bought it!" Musabi Thought to herself as her jaw dropped.

"Yes, and now that I have seen you like that, I can understand why he wants to work on your Relationship. Sit down on the bed next to Luke." The King said sitting in the chair as they sat on the bed together. Musabi and Stagnum sat on the other bed.

"So Ashly do you see any reason why Luke would want to leave you?" The king had no clue what he was doing.

"Well no, I couldn't imagine why," Ashly said fully engaged.

"Well, Luke what do you think of that?" The king's acting was at least good.

"Well... I think that Ashly has good judgment bu-but she is a little clingy." Luke seemed like he got stiffer when he said that.

"Ashly, do you think you are being clingy?" The king said, putting his hands together.

"Well I never thought I was clingy, but maybe I am, just a little..."

Musabi was wondering how this was working.

"Well let me just read what Luke wrote down on this paper saying how he feels." The king picked up a random paper on the desk. And started making up stuff.

"This is what Luke said," The king cleared his throat as if he was actually about to read. "I really like Ashly, but she is crazy and always tries to stab me with a Knife. Even though she is really attractive, she is always crazy and I'm afraid she might try to chop off my penis if she thinks I cheated on her, Even though my penis is only 3 inches on hard I still want to keep it. It's my mini sword." The king said holding up the paper in front of his face to hide his smile.

"You bastard!" Luke yelled in his head embarrassed, his face was turning red.

Musabi and Stagnum were hiding their laughter.

"So basically give Luke more freedom because. He will leave you if you don't." The king said, regaining his composer.

"Well, honey why didn't you just say so, for now on I won't cling to you. And I won't chop off your penis if I think you cheated, I'll just beat you with a shoehorn." Ashly said with puppy eyes clinging to Luke's arm.

"Well, I would say that's progress, good job I got to go." The king said walking out the room. Before anyone could say anything he closed the door and was out of the room.

"Well, that was interesting, to say the least. I'm going to go get some sleep on the deck." The king said.

The next day.

The King woke up and saw the sun rising, making a pink and red color across the sky. And the water was still calm. He stood up and stretched, then pulled a fishing pole out of his backpack and started to fish.

"I haven't been this relaxed in so long." The king sat on the wall of the boat hanging his feet over.

"You catch anything?" A man said from behind The king. The man looked to be in his 60's.

"No, I just started fishing. You must be the captain of this ship, you just walked out of Captain's quarters."

"Yes I am, my name is Tomy I am the captain of this ship. You're the guy Stagnum kept spitting out his thoughts at for some hours." Tomy said as he stood beside The king.

"Well my name is Tom, I guess we have pretty similar names."

"Yeah, I guess...you are taking Stagnum, Luke, and Musabi, right? When we get to shore."

"Yeah, it seems that way." The king said.

"Well, you seem trustworthy and extremely powerful, invisible King." Tomy glanced over at The king.

"I can say the same to you, God of the sea." The King glanced back at him.

They both chuckled.

"So did you find Kami's son, the one who transcends all logic and dimensions?" Tomy said looking at the sunrise.

"I did find him...he's dead. He was killed." The king said.

"W-what how was somebody of the 1-A tier Killed, Kami's son at that!?" Tomy went pale and took some deep breaths to calm down.

"He was killed by a god by the name of -0. His name is that because he was able to transcend the 1-A tier of power and the 0 tier of power. He's a threat to all gods. Even Kami himself because even he is only 0 tier." The king said, reeling back his pole.

"So I guess that's why you're out here because you got a plan," Tomy said, closing his eyes letting the breeze wash over him.

"Yeah, I do but there is no need for me to explain it right now." The king said recasting the fishing pole.

"Well maybe this will help you in the future, there is a backpack that transforms into whatever you prefer it to look like that has an infinite amount of space in it. It's located at the tomb of heaven." Tomy said as he turned to walk away.

"The tomb of heaven, I've heard of that but never got a chance to go. Guess that's my first stop." Just as the king said that Stagnum walked up behind him.

"So you've met the captain," Stagnum said as he stretches his arms.

"Yeah, but what are you doing up so early?"

"I couldn't sleep last night, I'm too hyped about exploring." Stagnum gave a light grin and jumped around a little.

"I'm actually really excited about it too. Because there is a place we're going before we go to the lost forest, we are going to a place called The tomb of Heaven and I've never been there before. Oh, I got a bite!" The king started reeling in the pole.

"Oh, the fish got some shoulders on it!" Stagnum said watching.

"Hell yeah," The king said as he yanked the fish out of the water.

The fish flopped around as the king reeled it out of the water.

"This is pretty big, about 29in," Stagnum said, looking at the fish as the king held it by the string.

"I've caught bigger...way bigger." The king said setting it down.

"really? what's the biggest thing you've caught?"

"Well, it was a 6-B tier and it was at most 5000 feet long, I focused my Iracuj into a spear with a rope attached and a few more spears and took it down."

Stagnum jumped in surprise. "Wait, you're an Iracuj user! all I can do with Iracuj is make my punches a little harder. But I thought stuff at that level can only be used by nobles and high tier adventures, well I guess that makes you pretty powerful."

"No, not at all anybody can learn, you know what, get Musabi and Luke we're about to have a lesson." The king said, crossing his arms.

1hr later...

They were in the galley and everyone was getting their food and sitting at the table. Musabi, Luke,Stagnum, and the king were sitting.

"So you said you were going to teach us something about iracuj." Luke said, holding a notebook up and pencil looking eager.

"Yeah, so I guess I'll start with how it works. The basics of Iracuj are water, fire, earth, and wind. And of course, it allows you to break the boundary of human limits when it comes to upgrading your physical strength. Some people use Iracuj without knowing when it comes to physical strength upgrading. Anyway, those elements make up the baseline of how it can be used, like make a sword on fire to make it stronger. This is called Iracuj transfer. When you get stronger and learn how to use, let's say the fire element, your fire gets hotter and hotter until you get plasma. There are tons of stuff you can do with Iracuj, this is just the baseline. A little bit later... You will be able to destroy stuff though. This is what we call AP which is attack potency. Then the amount of stuff you can destroy is called DC or Destructive Capacity. which leads into how the tiers work, are any of you familiar with them." The king said, taking a bite of his food.

"Yeah, the tiers are pretty common knowledge to adventurers. Tier 9-C to 9-A is below average. 8-C to 8-A is average. 7-C to 7-A is Demon's class. 6-C to 6-A is a Super Demon class. those are all them." Luke explained.

"Well, I can say the rest because the ones I'm going to say aren't common knowledge like the other ones. 5-C to 5-A is an angle class. 4-C to 4-A is a Super angle tier. 3-C to 3-A is Demigod.

2-C to 2-A would be god level. 1-C to 1-A is a legendary god. and 0 Is an SLG or Super legendary god. and after that is -0, -0 is... a glitch." The king looked a little serious on that last one.

"Wait, hold on a minute, there are levels above 6-A, at that so many!?" Luke said standing up smacking the table.

"yes, but I would have to go into how the tier system works a little more if explain them completely. I'll tell you some other time." The king said.

See you, next time-space cowboy.
