Anton was still a bit astonished that his father chose the Lord of the Rings trilogy for the next films after Titanic. He thought that they would choose to show that film at least in the middle of the year for something that would boost the people’s interest in movies but thinking about it again, it was impossible for the passengers to get tired of films.
The amount of high-quality films that their family could show would amaze everyone who would learn about it and that meant that he was sure that the passengers wouldn’t truly lose interest in the cinema. Also, there was limited entertainment inside the Amelia, and the films were a breath of fresh air for everyone.
The passengers were also delighted that the cinema tokens which were the form of ticket for the theater were very affordable. That meant that everyone should be able to see all the films that they would show on the ship at least once. It would only be costly if the viewers would try to watch the films more than once and Anton was sure that most passengers would probably do that.
At first, Anton’s father and Nemina decided to only show the films three times a week but as soon as they trained enough people to work in the cinema, there was a chance that they would increase the showing time to the whole day, seven days a week, possibly even twenty-four hours a day as long as there were enough people that were doing the work in shifts. At least, they would be able to recoup the coins that their family spent in renting the ship’s suite.
Anton returned to the suite after breakfast and entered his Diablo II system to concentrate on reaching the maximum level of his necromancer so he could start a paladin character. He only stopped leveling an hour before noon. He was happy about the time he spent leveling up since his necromancer reached level eighty-nine. Ten more levels then he was done with the necromancer.
To be honest about it, the spells of the necromancers were truly powerful but he wouldn’t be able to use them outside his Diablo II system due to the stigma and hatred that necromancers and undead in general were receiving which was deserved since the undead conquered a lot of cities in the Rendindura continent and they cruel while doing it. They killed a lot of people and tore up a large number of families.
Most of the passengers in the Amelia were families who were trying to escape the undead including theirs.
An hour before noon, Anton switched to viewing his browser in his system so he could follow the music course that he purchased so he could train his voice and guitar playing. At first, he was skeptical about the lesson but after a few of those, he admitted that learning the proper voice technique was truly helping him sing so much better than before and his guitar playing was the same. He truly believed that if for some reason he lost his wizardly powers, he could still survive in this world as a bard or at least a minstrel. He wondered briefly if he should learn some local songs but knew that it was just a momentary whimsy since he had little time and wanted to use it to increase his power.
Anton also wondered what would happen to his system once he reached the maximum level on all of the Diablo II characters.

When he exited his system, he heard that there were people outside his room and since he really wanted to focus on his system that day, he didn’t exit his room and ate some of the stored food in his inventory. Anton was just glad that there was a bathroom and toilet inside his room.
After he was done eating, Anton entered his system again and this time he spent an hour practicing his spells. When he was done with it, he spent a couple of hours tinkering with his latest enchanting project which was an accessory that would allow the user to be enveloped with Frozen Armor as long as the item had mana.
Anton was having so much difficulty with the Frozen Armor enchanted item that he decided to use a wooden tablet first to complete the enchanted system and once he was successful, he would try to transfer it to an accessory.
There was no progress after two hours of tinkering with the wooden board that contained the mana structure of the Frozen Armor so he stopped. When he checked the time, it was around three in the afternoon but Anton felt that he spent a good enough time in his Diablo II system that day so he decided to spend the rest of the day outside his room.
When Anton went outside, Lunelle, Ramona, Belinda, and the two female bodyguards were the only ones in the suite together with Antonia, Lucia, Walter, and Phillip.
“Where are the others? Anton asked Lunelle.
“Anna and Frederick are still in their magic studies. I don’t know where Devon is, probably in some disgusting place on the ship. Mother and your father are still training people who will handle the theater for us. In a few minutes, Anna should return and we’re planning to go to the Patron’s Bar to listen to some musicians.”
“What about you guys? Why are you here?” Anton asked his four new friends.
“Why? Don’t you want us to be here?” Walter joked then he laughed.
“We thought that we could continue watching shows today with you but it looked like everyone would be busy doing something else,” Antonia replied.
“I planned to unwind as well so I don’t want to stare at a screen for now. I’m planning to go to the deck to watch the ocean,” Anton said and he immediately followed that statement and prepared to leave the room.
The others said that they would stay to wait for Anna then they would to the Patron’s Bar together.
Harun was nowhere to be seen but it was all right with Anton since he wanted to walk by himself and he was sure that he should reach one of the decks without any problem. After a few minutes of walking and with the help of some of the sailors and passengers, he reached the deck reserved for their suite.
The ocean was calm and beautiful to look at but one of the viewers told him that it was because they were still far from the ocean’s center. The ships were not that fast in Anton’s opinion and that meant that if leave the ship for some reason, he should have no problem catching up to it by flying using his Telekinesis spell.
The glittering of the ocean’s surface from the glare of the afternoon sun made the ocean look like it was full of jewels. It was breathtaking but suddenly the calm was interrupted by a pod of gigantic whales in the distance. The whales were near enough that Anton could clearly see the huge creatures of the sea without any problem. He didn’t know how many whales were there but their number was enough that one could determine that there were hardly any creatures that could threaten the pod but again Anton knew that he should not assume.
One surprising thing that Anton noticed was that there was also a pod of dolphins following the pod of whales. A quick search on the internet in his system browser said that the only whales that would attack a dolphin were orcas and from what he could see, the giant whales were not those but again, he should not assume and the species of whales and dolphins that he was looking at could be very different from what one could see on Earth.
