VRMMO: Am I The Strongest Yet?

After a few minutes, Elio and Alex went back inside the game. They had little time so the moment they reappeared in the kingdom castle, they picked their things and the others that were going to come with them, and then they all used the royal teleportation Gate to go to their destination.

It didn't take them long to pass through the spiraling gate and reach the other side, so they moved to the island first…

"Wow."

"Miu!"

"Muuuuu!"

As they stood together on the sun-kissed shoreline of the island, each person experienced the scene before them in a little different manner from the other.

The young ones blinked in awe, feeling as if they had stepped into a vibrant painting, their senses overwhelmed by the intoxicating mix of forest trees, saltwater and blooming flowers in the air.

For Az who could only sense the things around it, this wave of new Mana coming fresh from the sea was something that it had never experienced before.

Similarly for Miu, this whole land beneath it was radiating a unique kind of energy that the little gecko loved a little too much.

The warm sand beneath them was so likable for the crystal creature that it started rolling on the sand, attracting attention from some of the individuals present around the area.

"Haha."

The rest of them marveled at the palm trees swaying gently in the breeze and the endless expanse of deep blue ocean glistening like scattered jewels under the sun.

"This sure is a unique place…" Elio clicked various screenshots for different things as soon as they appeared here. This was different from anything that they had experienced until now.

"How's it?"

Alex was a seasoned visitor of this not just this island, but of many similar places, so she smiled knowingly, recalling how this paradise had been a home to her at some point in the past,

For her, the warm sand beneath their feet was a reminder of countless cherished days spent basking in the sun or exploring hidden coves.

"Pretty." Elio liked this place. It was unique.

They watched the waves roll in with their predictable rhythm, feeling a sense of comfort in the warm presence of the sunlit shore, and the cool breeze coming from behind them.

"Misha?"

The little girl stood wide-eyed and breathless, taking in the vastness of the ocean for the first time.

She had traveled with her mom but most of the time, they had only traveled through the roads.

They had experienced flight on occasions, but that was very rare and Misha cherished those experiences.

For her, the vastness of Blue was something very special. She knew little about things that she had not experienced herself, but the ocean was something she had always wanted to see.

Until just recently, she was simply a normal girl living in a normal town doing normal things, dealing with normal people.

She had never experienced she would meet people like Elio and Alex, much less how she would gain the kind of powers that she had right now.

Traveling around the world with these people was a dream come true for her… they were like the heroes spoken in the tales for her.

They were cool, they were caring, and they were always helping her and her mom. Elio had saved hundreds of people without caring about himself, and Alex had saved them from that evil mage.

Miu and Az were her friends that played with her unlike anyone that she had been with until now.

They were the only ones that understood her as much as her mom, she simply loved them.

They were special for her, and so were Alex and Elio. And it was, again, only thanks to them that she was witnessing a scene as cool as this one…

"Pretty…"

The roar of crashing waves sent chills down their spine as they breathed in the salty air, feeling both small and awestruck before nature's blue grandeur.

The horizon blurred where the sea met the sky, creating an illusion of infinity that made this moment feel monumental not just to the little girl but to even the mother that had never experienced something like this.

"Thanks, Alex, Elio."

She couldn't help feeling gratitude towards these people. They were amazing individuals and it was thanks to them… that she was seeing something she had longed for ever since she was a child.

"Mom…?"

Misha didn't know about it, so the rest obviously did not either. But, Rin always wanted to see the vast blue ocean ever since she was as young as Misha.

She wanted to be an Adventurer and go to all kinds of places, see the vast green plains, see the dense rainforests, see the vast blue oceans, and experience the endless sand covered deserts.

She wanted to see the ocean especially because of a certain story she had heard from her own mother as a child… a story that she could not remember anymore, but something that she still carried lingering feelings of.

"Don't be emotional now, this is still nothing compared to many other places around the ocean. You'll love to see the sunset from a boat in the middle of the ocean, or a pink sunset."

Alex had experienced a lot of things in her time in this world.

She had traveled in the sea for three years, went to various islands and found many treasures that linked to the Truths.

She met many strong people in her time in the ocean and islands like this one, and, even though this one had a good port city, the remote places that she had been to were sometimes much more dangerous than this peaceful place.

There were people around the coast, there was a vast city on the other side of the island, and when they reach that place, they were going to be pretty shocked by the boats that they see as well.

Alex knew all these people had never really seen actual fantastical boats before. She knew they were going to be amazed to see the big boats. Especially one that had a certain insignia on it.

"So…"

They did not really have much time. Elio and Alex would land soon and then they would have to log out, so before that happens, they were planning to move to the city and check into an inn.

"Shall we go to the other side? There's much left to be surprised about."

Alex had missed this place actually.

This island wasn't anything special, but of the many islands in this ocean, this was a particular one that was run solely by the pirates.

It was a neutral area that was open to anyone, but the only ones that had any kind of authority in this place were the ones who contributed to the well being of the people, as well as the families that lived in this city.

The pirates had their own values, rules, and honor. They were respectful of the elders and those who had spent their days at the sea doing what countless other people could never even imagine.

And since there was no certain authority here, they valued strength.

"Can we… can we stay here a little longer?"

"Yes… can we?"

Both Misha and Rin wanted to watch the vast blue for a little longer, and they would have been fine with it if they weren't in a hurry.

"How about I show you two around the island later tomorrow. We don't really have too much time right now… we can come back here tomorrow as well. You can have 5 minutes if you want though. That much is fine."

They were having fun so she didn't want to ruin their first time on a shore. She would have loved to play with them in the water if they had a little more time, but she knew going to the city and checking into an inn would be a little difficult with the pirates there.

There might be some fighting as well, so taking that into consideration, they won't be able to play right now.

But after the two of them settle down in Elio's house, they will come back and play with them.

But then again, they will have to leave for the underwater kingdom soon.

They won't really have that much time to play so…

"Oh, it's fine if you two are busy."

"We can come back later~. Let's go for now, big sister."

She wanted to show them all that she can in the short time they will have. Your adventure continues at My Virtual Library Empire

She will send Elio to the person that will take them to their destination, and they will depart in a few days.

There is still a month left and they will need to travel for about a week on the boat to reach their destination, so she will try to get as much as she can from this trip.

Levels will be important so, now that they are doing this anyway, they should have a better power level and achieve their second awakening in the little time they have.

"Will that be alright? We should wait a little longer, you know?"

"It's fine, I don't mind~."

"Haha, me neither."

This trip to the underwater kingdom will not be short, but with all that was going on around them, she knew it would seem quite short.

Still, she will make sure to make this trip worthwhile for the rest of them.

This was the first time they were going out into the vast ocean, she wanted them to have a good first impression of this world of water…
