Anton had been doing the same thing for the next seven days. After breakfast, every morning he would enter his Diablo II system. He would focus the first three hours farming the best-in-slot gears for the necromancer character. After the gear farming, he would then focus on reaching the maximum level for the character.

He really wanted to start the paladin character since the skill set of that character would be very useful in keeping himself, his family, and his friends safe.

At around eleven in the morning, he would stop farming gears and then switch to practicing the mana structure and researching the mana pathway and mana manipulation of his spells for both the druid and necromancer characters since he felt that he wasn’t proficient yet on the spells for those characters. He would have liked to still practice the spells of his sorceress since the sorceress’s powers were still his bread and butter in the real world when it came to swiftly dealing with his enemies but his time was limited. He did sneak in a little time to practice the spells of the sorceress though.

Anton did find that the Telekinesis spell, which was hardly useful in the game when he was back on Earth, was highly handy when it came to this world. The fact that he could use it to fly made the spell the number one spell in the sorcerer's skill tree that he practiced a lot.

The Telekinesis spell was even useful in battle since he could use it to hold enemies in place or push or pull them away. Anton could even use it to save his family by picking them up and flying away. He had tested it while they were traveling from Zalnothel to the city of Whaling.

Because of the high serviceability of Telekinesis, Anton had to increase its level to the maximum but now he was focused on practicing both the druid and necromancer spells.

At noon, he would stop for lunch and to save the food stored in his inventory since he knew that he should keep it for emergencies, he went outside the suite to eat. Anton did discover with the help of Antonia, Lucia, Walter, and Phillip the best place where he could eat lunch and that time usually would take an hour.

After lunch, he would practice his guitar and train his voice by following the courses that he applied to over the internet and was thankful again that he could use the gold coins in his Diablo II system to pay the fees he incurred on the internet like subscription fees for the streaming websites and courses that he enrolled into.

After the music practice, Anton would enter his Diablo II system again to either continue farming gear or leveling up, practice spells or think about the next magical item project that he would like to make and the best thing that he could think of for now was to create an accessory that would allow the wearer to have a Frozen Armor spell surrounding him or her when the item was activated. He thought that it was one of the best spells that could provide a modicum of defense to his family and friends.

He tried creating what he called the accessory of Frozen Armor but the mana structure and pathway of the spell was incredibly complex and the fact that Anton intended to use a small item like a brooch or an amulet made the project extremely difficult. He wanted to make it smaller so the girls could wear it without a problem but based on his tests, it would be a while before he completed that Frozen Armor accessory project.

During those seven days, Anton paused his system activities to record the movie Titanic to the other two recording magic items that their family had since his father was really worried about not having a backup.

Anton still used the rest of the afternoon until evening to explore the ship, either by himself or together with his friends. He wanted to memorize the areas in the ship so he could function within the Amelia if something chaotic occurred and he had to run around either to fight or to flee. His imagination painted several instances of what could happen like attacks from enemies that managed to board the ship. Since he had consumed a vast amount of anime and online novels, his imagination was rich in what could attack them. For example, an army of sahuagin or undead sea creatures, things like that.

Anders, Nemina, Lucas, and Colin were busy handling the cinema theater and making connections with the rich folks from New Drennor. Anders kept complaining about how busy and how tiring the work was but Anton, and everyone else for that matter, could see that his father, Nemina, and Lucas were enjoying the work. Anton overheard Lucas admit to his wife that what he enjoyed the most was seeing Nemina happy and their family safe.

Devon was busy with something else, what it was, no one knows but he was forced to share his business with his parents and Anton even though he was already in his mid-twenties after he incurred a sexually transmitted disease from one of the ladies of the night working in the ship which meant that he spent most of his time in the red light district and the gambling dens. Anton easily cured the disease but for a few days, Nemina looked at her son with contempt and the girls looked at him with disgust. Anton and the other men in the group just laughed with him.

Because of the presence of wizards and priests who had spells that could cure any disease, most mercenaries tend to take sexually transmitted diseases without any care in the world. Frederick did confess to him that he incurred the same thing but used his coins to hire one of the priests on the ship to heal him to avoid sharing the information with the family and the mage knew that Anton would be tight-lipped if he shared something like that with him.

Anton thought of going to the red light district on the ship to heal all of the ladies there to avoid further spreading the disease but Phillip stopped him.

“Why would you stop me from doing something like that?”

“It’s one way the priests earn coins and it doesn’t cost that much,” Phillip told him.

Due to the rampant spread of sexually transmitted diseases, any little desire that Anton had of exploring the gathering place of whores and gamblers dwindled into nothing.

Anna and Frederick hired some advanced wizards on the ship to teach them magic. The cost was considerable but the lessons they learned, which was the foundation of what a true wizard was would benefit them highly, according to Frederick, so Anders didn’t hesitate to pay for Anna’s tuition. Frederick had coins so he didn’t hesitate as well since he had a share of the treasure that they had received from the gang who attacked them when they were in Zalnothel.

While Anna was being tutored by the ship’s wizards, Lunelle, Ramona, and Belinda kept roaming around and they discovered the library and theater that shows live plays. They spent their time there followed by the newly hired female bodyguards. Anna didn’t have any bodyguards with her since the place where the wizards gathered was probably the most secure in the Amelia.

Antonia and Lucia also introduced the Patron’s bar to the ladies which was possibly a mistake since now, the three girls were smitten with the handsome musicians performing there although Anton was glad that Antonia and Lucia were looking after the girls and kept reminding them the first love of any performers in the Patron’s bar was the fame and fortune that the entertainers would receive as highly acclaimed bards.
