The next day, instead of joining the others in exploring the ship Amelia, Anton told everyone that he would need to stay in his room to meditate since it would best for him to have more power in case they encountered something dangerous while they were traveling in the middle of the ocean.

At first, Anna teased Anton that he wasn’t really meditating but watching movies and shows, and of course, everyone just ignored her. Since Anton himself did reveal that there were times during those supposed meditations when he was indeed watching something using his magic system, it was still obvious that Anton’s meditation was still the process that allowed him to increase his power.

Anton reviewed the four hoverboards that he created, and to be honest, he was really unsatisfied with how they looked since they were just rectangular boards with a joystick and switches on one side for control. He still decided to leave them be since he wanted to focus on leveling up his character even though he wanted to explore the ship just like the others.

The good thing about the ship was they didn’t even need to use any of the enchanted items that Anton had made since the amenities were fully capable of doing the work of the enchanted items.

As per Harun’s advice to Anders, Anton didn’t even clean their rooms and their suite anymore since the cleaning ladies attached to their hallway would lose some coins if they didn’t clean their suite.

The only thing that Anton needed to do was to provide mana water for everyone since the ladies, in particular Anna, would cry if they didn’t receive the magical water that made them beautiful.

That day, Anton didn’t do anything but just focused on leveling up his necromancer character. He didn’t even join his family for meals since he knew that they would only talk about the facilities they had visited and that would tempt Anton and more than likely his resolve to focus on leveling up would crumble and then he would start exploring the ship.

He only stopped leveling up during meals and for two hours to practice his spells outside the Rogue Encampment. That day of leveling up allowed him to increase his necromancer level to forty five and he completed Act II of the nightmare difficulty.

Anton joined his family in the dining hall during the formal dinner and as expected, everyone excitedly told each other what they did during the day. Anna and the other girls checked out the stores in the shopping hall and she said that everything there was truly gorgeous. The clothes, purses, shoes, hats, perfumes, pieces of jewelry, and other accessories were top-notch. They also purchased novels, notebooks, and pens.

In the afternoon, Anna and Frederick teamed up to explore the magic community on the ship and were happily surprised by the diversity. Anna couldn’t wait to enroll in some of the classes which Frederick already did.

Unfortunately, Anna spent all her coins on clothes and other things and as punishment, Anders would give her the coins to enroll in some of the magic classes at the start of the next month, which was in three days.

Lunelle, Ramone, and Belinda were the same. They spent all their coins purchasing clothes and other accessories favored by women so all the girls were silent during dinner after they received their punishment.

Devon and Colin didn’t tell them where they went during the day even when Nemina asked them. Lucas just smiled at the men while Anders and Nemina glared but for different reasons. Anders told Devon, Colin, and Frederick that they didn’t care what they did as long as they didn’t invite Anton to those shenanigans, and when Anton tried to protest and tell his father that he was old enough, that he was an archmage for divine’s sake, he received such a glare that Anton didn’t have a choice but to remain silent regarding that situation.

Besides, Anton wasn’t really tempted. He just wanted to protest since he was mature enough to handle those types of things but based on Anders’s reaction, his father didn’t care.

Lucas and Nemina went to enjoy the dancing hall for adults and Anders enjoyed a massage after swimming in the swimming pool and trying out the sauna.

Anton just shook his head at the extravagance that the ship Amelia offered to her passengers. Devon shared some interesting information. Apparently, Captain Robertson didn’t actually believe that Anton was an archmage due to how young he looked and that was the main reason why the captain didn’t accept their request for a discount for adding a powerful wizard to their passenger list.

They had to stop talking since a band of minstrels started performing on the stage. After their performance, Anton told everyone that he would still need to meditate since he was on the verge of a breakthrough and this time, even Anna didn’t ease him anymore since it was obvious that Anton wasn’t really confining himself to watching movies and shows in his room but trying to increase his power.

The ship was full of entertainment that no one minded so they stopped watching the television shows for now. Honestly, no one expected that the ship would provide extensive entertainment services. Anton could see that everyone expected that their journey would be the same as what he imagined, being confined in a small boring ship for a whole year.

After dinner, instead of everyone going back to their suite, they wanted to explore again except for the ladies who followed Anton back to the rooms.

“Why are you following me?’ Anton asked the girls but they didn’t answer, not until they reached the suite.

“Anton, we have no more money. Can you lend us some coins?” Anna wheedled when they reached the suite.

Anton just shrugged and gave the ladies twenty gold coins each and then they all ran outside. He wondered where they would spend those coins.

One good thing about the ship was that there were sailors acting as guards roaming the ship so the girls were fairly safe. Even if something dangerous occurred, each one of them was guarded by a tiny raven and a tiny spirit wolf. The raven was in their shoulders hiding beneath their hair while the tiny spirit wolves were inside their purses.

Even though the summoned animals were minute, the ravens could fly fast enough to summon help and the spirit wolves were powerful enough to defend their mistresses. Each one of them was also carrying more than one wand. One of them was the wand that Anton created which was the Ice Bolt wand and they did purchase some wands from the cities they pass through.

Once Anton reached his room, he entered the world of Sanctuary and leveled up his necromancer character again. He planned to do the same thing the next day until he was tired of it then he would explore the ship. He still had around three thousand gold coins since even though he spent a lot, he also earned a lot by doing the business of buying broken things, repairing them, and selling them while they were in major cities.

Anton then put the ship’s entertainment facilities where he would spend his gold coins at the back of his mind since he didn’t want to be tempted and start exploring. He really wanted to level up his necromancer more.
