In the Sea of Calm, sailing wasn't much different from navigating a tranquil lake. Even on the rare occasions when storms arose, the winds and waves were never particularly severe.
In such conditions, Ethan had been able to prioritize agility and speed over stability. Back then, if his sailing skills had been lacking, he could have simply chosen a more extreme sail configuration to maximize performance.
But if a ship like that were to enter these waters now, destruction would be...

A month passed in the blink of an eye. Ethan's custom-built Goddess of Dawn had completed its final testing and now rested at the dock, ready for its maiden voyage. All that remained was the official handover and updating his information at the guild. Once that was done, he could set sail and embark on his next journey.
A crowd of adventurers had gathered at the pier. Many of them had been lingering th...

Back on State Island, Ethan's first stop was the guild, where he arranged for a series of value assessments, including an appraisal of the Death Magic Stone he had brought back.
As expected, the stone's value was incredibly high. The guild placed great importance on it and was eager to purchase it directly from Ethan.
"I'm willing to sell the magic stone," Ethan told them, "but in exchange, I want a brand-new ship, built to my exact specifications."
The request didn't com...

Arya had no idea that she had inadvertently become the greatest benefactor of the Night's Watch enterprise. Thanks to the girl's timely revelation, worth its weight in gold, quite literally, Aegor had managed to survive the most significant financial crisis since arriving in the world of ice and fire.
This entire operation had relied heavily on luck. There was no shame in admitting that. But as the saying goes, luck is a part of one's strength as well. Through the combined forces of fo...

"This guy...!"
With Goetia's arrival, an overwhelming pressure crashed down upon the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. Every Servant present felt it, a suffocating force that turned the entire battlefield deathly silent.
"So this is his true power..."
Shakespeare's face turned deathly pale.
Back in the story world, Goetia had been nothing more than a fragment of consciousness. He had still been terrifying, but the level of danger had remained within the realm of reason.<...

Midoriya stared in shock at their homeroom teacher, Aizawa, who now had his right hand cuffed and his uniform burned through at the abdomen. He muttered to himself, his expression shifting from disbelief to growing excitement.
To be honest, he felt like he was on an amusement park roller coaster, his emotions rising and falling so dramatically that it was as if he had been launched from the depths of a valley straight into the sky.

Midoriya struggled desperately, his thoughts racing. His hands, though weak, grasped at the wrist that was choking him, his face turning red from lack of air.
He was furious—furious at his own powerlessness, at his inability to fight back, and most of all, at the fact that Bakugo was ...

As the two locked eyes, Aizawa's mind was already at work.
On the surface, the situation seemed straightforward, he could subdue Bakugo instantly and catch up to Midoriya before he got too far.
But that wasn't the real issue.
Bakugo had finally attempted teamwork with Midoriya. If he failed this exam, would it make him believe that cooperation was useless?

In the New World, a rather unique sailing ship drifted through a particular stretch of sea, flying the flag of a pirate crew.
What made this ship so unusual was that it wasn't sailing on the water—it was flying through the sky.
However, this wasn't the work of Golden Lion Shiki. The flag on this ship bore no resemblance to the emblem of the Flying Pirates. Instead, it displayed a skull with lightning bolts flanking either side.
