[The book of skills! A Skill-maker's bible and with it they can produce new skills with ease! "Who the hell in the world can remember every scene he/she saw since birth?"]

...

"A GOLD-RATED? Two evolve type of rewards... But all were only usable to Skill-making! The book has no use at the moment!" He was astounded as he returned the Book to his inventory bag.

"Guess I'll just strengthen the Pen-Knife as much as I can before we set foot to gods' continent!" He rubbed his chin as he took out the jar of blood. He started feeding and offering blood to the Pen-Knife. He only used one Pen-Knife and stored the rest to his bag.

Hours later he consumed all the blood of Octrocras he looted.

Phew!

"It seems easy, but it was really hard! Doing the same thing over and over again can be exhausting!" He sighed as he looked like he was about to puke. He checked the details of the Pen-Knife as he assumed that it evolved once again.

...

"Now... what to do? Maybe, I should go find Senior Kentaro and kill more Octrocras so I can evolve this Pen once more! Hehehe..." Pedro played his Pen-Knife in his hand as he grabbed his inventory bag and walked out of his room.

When he passes crew members on the hallway, they often gossip to each other while glancing back to the fading figure of Pedro.

"Seems like that duel made me famous! However, that woman may act almighty, why do I feel like using a rock was an overkill?!" He wore a wryly smile as he enters the deck area. "I should visit her later!"

Knock! Knock! Knock!

'Why is he here?' Alivia was surprised as her attention was shifted to the access door of CBCR, Combined Bridge and Control Room of the main ship, to the deck. "Open up!"

"Senior Alivia, Sorry for the inconvenience!" Pedro bowed in respect, they might act like friends when they are not in 'duty', however, It is a different matter when they are on work. And as of now... They are Officer and a Soldier, not a Senior and Junior!

"We don't bow! We salute! Anyway... what do you need?" Alivia exerted a tense aura that made the air in the control as serious as possible. The focus everyone gives was like they were just about to enter a war. "Perhaps, you are here to give me my snacks?"

"Uhm... It's somehow related to that! I had a limited amount of ingredients and was hoping to seek help from Senior Kentaro in securing some... If he's free!" Pedro wore an awkward smile inwardly and felt scared just from the tense air inside the CBCR. Hence, He bluffed and used the 'Snacks' into his advantage to gain Kentaro's assistance and getting a huge amount of Blood 'Loots'.

"There! Take him!" Alivia pointed to the engraved Kentaro in a wall in the CBCR. Kentaro wore a miserable look and one of his shoulders was dislocated.

Boom!

"Ha..." Kentaro sighed dejectedly as he used his Katana to push his self from being engraved on the wall.

"Help him secure the ingredients he needs!" Alivia stare with a threat as Kentaro walked towards Pedro.

Crack! Crack!

"Yes! Yes!" Kentaro replied in a serious tone as he fixed his dislocated shoulder and caused a cracking sound.

"Thank you, Senior Alivia!" Pedro saluted as Kentaro entered the deck.

"Wait! Let me join! I have not stretched out for days already! Besides... More hands, more ingredients, more food you can make!" Madame Soledad smirked as she walked through the main entrance of the CBCR from the ship.

"Oh... Madame!" Pedro's eyes suddenly shined with greed. With Madame Soledad and Kentaro, He could collect tons of "Blood Loot"!

'I need to divert their attention that might lead to the Pen-Knife and the 'blood loot' thing! Madame Soledad might ask for one if she knew! The book has harder conditions to meet, hence... All I can do was to give an extra Empty Book to Madame Soledad! It might even be useful to her!'

"By the way! I have something to give you..." Pedro opened his bag and took out the book. The moment Madame Soledad got a glimpse of the book, one-fourth of it was already exposed outside the bag, her eyes turned black as Alivia noticed it.

"STALL MODE!" Alivia screamed on top of her lungs as Pedro, Kentaro, and Madame Soledad Vanished. The ship stopped in an abrupt manner that alerted everyone in the ship. The doors located in the deck, including the one in the CBCR, were shut close as the ship started to descent underwater.

After a second, Alivia also vanished from the sight as the crew was confused why the ship entered a 'stall mode'.

('Stall Mode' is a protocol in the Karakoa where the ship stays still and goes underwater. All crew members, whether on duty or not, was required to be into battle mode. Madame Soledad, Kentaro, and Alivia were the only ones who were Master-rank and above. Hence, If the ship encounters treat at that rank or level, It would be a downside battle for a moving and halved battle power ship. But with the full force of the crew, they can act as a sphere defense and protect every side of the ship. Although there would be a difference in strength, they can still delay enemies until one of the three return.)

(Why stay still underwater? Simple concept... To disguise as a rock underwater! Even underwater detection magic would be tricked by this!)

...

Whoosh!

"Where are we?!" Pedro was astounded as he holds the extra 'Empty Book' in his hand and a gust blew through the desert. When he glanced to Madame Soledad, her black eyes immediately caught his attention. His astounded expression was immediately replaced with a pale look. He felt the same feeling when the 'God Dragon' (In the AVR game he played before Bearth Online!) stared at them like they were ants.

"So... what's the situation? Why did you send us to your 'dreamland', Soledad?!" Alivia arrived seconds later and asked casually like it was something normal to her.

'Dreamland? What's that? never heard of it even in my past life!' Pedro frowned as he awaits Madame Soledad's explanation.

"Calm down Young man! It's safe here! In fact, this place is safer than the ship... or even the BHO main base! As long as you have food though! Hahaha!" Kentaro chuckled as he placed his hand to Pedro's shoulder.

"That book! It's the same to the book grandmother got as a reward in her younger years, the Book of Skill making!" She pointed to the book Pedro was holding as Alivia and Kentaro glanced at it.
