The next day, everyone was still relaxing since it was the second day of the vacation that Anders gave everyone. The only one who had a job to do was Frederick and some of the people and guards assigned to him by Anders. They went out looking for a manor or mansion that they could purchase.
At first, Anders, Nemina, and Lucas talked about purchasing a shop with a warehouse but they decided to do so once they had a home base since it was inconvenient to stay at an inn.
In the meantime, Anton concentrated on leveling up his Druid character inside his room after breakfast. He wanted to increase his level so he could become more powerful and be worthy of the title of archmage. One good thing about staying in his room was the temperature was very comfortable due to the wizard sculpture enchanted to become his air conditioner.
Anton would have wanted to shop for some more spell books but they were incredibly costly and would only do so once income was coming in again due to him repairing things.
He only stopped playing the game when he saw that it was already eleven in the morning. He wanted to join his family for lunch. Before he exited out of the game, he reached level seventeen and was now in the Arcane Sanctuary in Act II. He couldn’t wait to reach a high enough level for his mercenary to equip insight so he didn’t have to keep consuming mana potions.
Anton still only had three skills which were level nine Summon Spirit Wolf, level seven Raven, and level one Oak Sage but it was enough for him to kill all the monsters without any issues. He still spent an hour or two mastering the mana manipulation of the new spells and he was getting good at it. Soon he should be able to summon a large enough raven that he could use for transport. The Oak Sage spell was useful as well since aside from providing bonus life, it could be used as a source of light as well. The weird thing about Oak Sage was once he summoned it outside the game, anyone inside his party would feel like they were full of life. It was also very pretty to look at and Anna said that it was particularly mesmerizing.
Anton knew that he should also keep practicing sharing his visual senses with the Raven so he could use it effectively as a scout but he kept pushing off practicing it because it always made him so dizzy.
During lunch, he was surprised to see Frederick since he thought he was busy finding a manor for them to live.
“I haven’t found anything good so far. I would visit a couple more mansions after lunch,” the mage said.
“You don’t need to, I told you can rest during the afternoons,” Anders told Frederick.
“I know but according to Simon, the assistant the high wizard Lurien assigned to help me, the next couple of places were the best ones and due to their cost, no one had bought them yet so I’m hoping one of them would fit our requirements.”
“We’re also going back to work tomorrow although the rest would still be on vacation. I think I’ve rested enough and I don’t want to stay idle,” Anders told everyone and the others agreed with him and told him that they would start working the next day as well.

“Since you’re all ready to go back to work, I will be staying here concentrating on my meditations but if you need me to do something like repairing or enchanting, just call me,” Anton told his father and Anders just nodded.
After lunch, Anton practiced his lute for a few minutes then noted to himself to look for a guitar then went back to leveling his druid character. He did stop after three hours since he was feeling burnt out so instead he watched a new anime that had just been released. He was so thankful that he still had access to the internet although in hindsight, if he didn’t have access to it, Anton would have been forced to concentrate on more important things like researching the magic system of this world or focusing on enchanting during the times when he didn’t want to play.
Anton didn’t care, an hour or three wasting time watching things on the internet wasn’t too bad but he did feel a little guilty so he spent time creating tablets of air conditioners since it was still the height of summer and it was a good source of income for his family. When he got bored of creating wooden tablets of air conditioners, he decided to create a list of items that he wanted to create.
Once winter arrived, Anton knew that he might be forced to create a heater-enchanted item. He also should try to create items that would have some sort of defensive spells so he could better protect his father and his sister. He also thought about creating a flying carriage or at least a flying skateboard since based on his calculations it might be possible. He knew that Anna would love it.
Anton also thought of trying to check if there were any magical items that could record stuff and it should have sounds so he could record movies and his father, Anna, and his friends could watch them. His family could even sell them at exorbitant prices like some sort of VCR tapes. It was also a good way to learn if there were any other transmigrators from Earth aside from himself.
During dinner, Anton joined his family and saw that Frederic was excitedly telling Anders about the manor that he found.
“It’s huge and it’s beautiful. It’s a bit dilapidated though but we can fix those that need to be fixed and it would cost us a lot of coins but I think it’s worth it.”
“Okay, we’ll visit it tomorrow and if we’re satisfied with it, we’ll purchase it,” Anders said.
“Yes, we need a new home real quick since Lurien told us that the new semester for new students is coming up in two weeks and I want to have a home before I join a magic school. I want a place where I can invite my new classmates to play,” Anna said.
“If you’re planning to join this semester, it would be best if you know more spells so your classmate wouldn’t bully you,” Antion said to Anna.
“No one will bully me especially once everyone knows that my brother is an archmage that was acknowledged by the archmage Voduria,” Anna retorted and Anton was stuck since what she said was simply the truth.
Anton’s expression caused everyone to laugh though.
“By the way father, I changed my mind about joining the army or an organization that will fight the Undead Coalition. I want to check the city first and consolidate my knowledge and strength. I may really need to join a school as well since I’m truly lacking when it comes to knowledge about things in this city or this world for that matter,” Anton said to his father.
Anders was obviously very relieved when he heard what Anton had said.
“Good, good. You should do that since it is safer. You should also try to find a wife so I can have grandchildren,” Anton said.
“Father, I’m only seventeen! How about you find a new wife and give us a new sibling? You look like a young man now and no older than thirty-five.”
For a moment, Anton was a bit horrified when he said that since the statement might hurt his father and sister but Anna laughed and was joined by the others while Anders blushed which made him really look like a young man.
