It's been about five days since I started sailing along with these pirates, and I've been holding back so much anger during this entire trip. I feel useless and stuck with these men until I finally reach shore. My sanity has also begun to dwindle in the sea, and I hate it so much.
The worst part of it all is that the sexual harassment from these men keeps getting worse by the day as the Captain grows bolder on me. I have now been given orders to stay dressed in this shameful lingerie dress wherever I go, which means that the entire crew has seen me like this. What a humiliation.
I know I need their help, but I have begun to think about chopping their heads off and trying my luck with my spatial hooks. It is Barbosa who I want to kill the most as he dares to grope me every night; his dirty old guy hands make me feel dirty, and in another way, I feel violated.
I always uphold my words, but in the case of Barbosa, I might simply kill him and his men as soon as we get to shore because I am not marrying anyone's kid, especially not this prick's boy. I am far too young to think about that stuff, and I do not want to do so.
Regarding my tasks on the ship, I have also been reduced to a simple maid-like laborer who has to help with the cleaning of the Captain's office and sleeping cabin as well as the top part of the ship, which is not so bad as I am not a recognized princess by many yet.
The Crown in my head has also been the source of many talks between Barbosa and his men, who seem to think I will ever surrender it to them as some sort of payment like hell I would! The Witch Crown has far too much valuable knowledge about this world's myths and legends to let go.
Based on the Captain's map and the constellations that the Crown recognizes, I have been trying to use that knowledge to figure out how far away from shore I am. As of my latest calculation, I am around Forty thousand Nautical miles away from any beach, which means that most of the world is either sea or the whole thing is fucking massive.
I already figured that this world was bigger than my original one. Still, based on the location of the current boat looking so close to shore, not even at the furthest point yet, it means that this world could be five times or even bigger than Earth, which doesn't make sense since gravity feels and works around the same as in Earth.
There's something weird going on with this world, based on its size and the multiple weird legends I have been reading about inside the Crown. I just can't piece it all together yet. I can't figure out what is wrong with it yet, but I am sure something is off. It feels odd how things work sometimes, as if someone is always watching.
The author's narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.
Could it be that I am in a sort of limbo world? Is reality even real? Am I simply going insane from being at sea for this long? I usually stay on land, but if the oceans are not even considered that big, and they're already more massive than the ones back on Earth, how enormous is this world?
Most importantly, why are there multiple locations with trapped Darkness in them? Who trapped the Darkness underground? How is it contained by the ground if dark power can destroy and corrode everything? Even as my current growth increases, I have been able to do so with just leaks from those tanks, but why are they sealed, and why are they in this world?
Also, by the looks of things, the Original Witch Queen, who shall remain unnamed because her name will cause Ragnarok, seems to be even more potent than the abyss itself. Based on everything I've read about the first Witch Queen, she could do anything and everything she ever desired until someone even greater sealed her, as the Crown never states that she is indeed dead.
I find that part rather peculiar when reading about the first Witch Queen as she is never stated to have died in any written record of the Crown, yet all the history books and even the other witches think that she is dead. Could it be that a being that powerful is still around somewhere?
However, if the first Witch Queen is alive, that makes a big problem. Whoever defeated the Witch Queen will most likely be able to beat me even at my peak if I manage to unseal all the ports of power, so I must be careful not to infuriate or call the attention of any god.
If the legends are to be believed, the first Witch Queen boasted a power far greater than Andromeda, the Witch God. Yet when I think about it, things make sense; if there's a power far greater than the Original Witch Queen, who was greater than the Gods, then that would explain why our supposed god didn't help us when Julius attacked.
The things the Demon has also said make sense now that I think about it. Didn't the Demon say something like, 'She is the real evil of this world?' Yet if the Demon is to be believed, could it be that my Darkness can match or surpass the first Witch Queen? I doubt it, but if a demon says it, it may be.
The other things I have been thinking about are my dark power, how it works, and why it's in this world. According to legends, this power has been here far before any sentient life ever existed, even before the Two Dragons planted the core, but my question still revolves around why.
Unfortunately, I have not concluded why abyssal power exists in this world and why it was sealed here far before life developed. There's nobody around who knows, or perhaps there is; maybe that ancient Demon knows, but I don't trust them even one bit.
Yet, suppose I am to unlock the power from the abyss. In that case, I will have to prepare my mind and soul for it as the prophecy says I will restore order to this world, but it also says that it will only happen if I have the will to do so. If I don't, I will be the sole reason for its destruction, which is incredibly dangerous.
Regarding the humiliation from these pirates, I will eventually have my revenge. However, for now, I am still at their mercy, so I will have to continue letting them take advantage of me and threaten me like a cheap companion or escort, which is dreadful to think of. May god give me the will to hold back my anger.
