Chapter 42

The nightclub of Athegas. Arthur was going there for some fun, and perhaps finally level up. It had been some crazy days that didn’t let him do what he wanted.

Inside of this nightclub, there were a lot of women dancing without their clothes on. All of them were gorgeous, and Arthur got a drink to enjoy the view.

After which, he went to a more private room with a few girls. Difficult times required some fucking from time to time.

“Ahhhh!”

“Ahhh!”

The girls moaned as Arthur did things they never thought it was possible. It seemed people in that world weren’t that good at sex. Anyway, Arthur fucked them until he finally leveled up.

“I’ll use these free points later. It’s only one level, after all.”

As he was thinking if he should fuck more, someone showed up out of a sudden, and was talking with him.

“Excuse me? Aren’t you a pirate?”

Arthur looked up at the person, scanning him. It looked like an ordinary youth with black-hair just like most people around that area.

“Yes, I am. Why do you ask?”

“My family is in danger. Could you help me? Please?”

When the youth said that, Arthur knew exactly what it was, a scam. The youth would probably try to steal him or ask for money. Not wanting to lose time, Arthur tossed a few silver coins to the youth.

.

“Take it. If you try to steal me in the future, don’t expect me to be this merciful.”

It shocked the youth to see his plan failing this easily.

“How did you know? You look a little older than me. You shouldn’t be that smart.”

“Maybe I’m a thousand year dragon in disguise. Who knows?”

“Ha, nice one. I’m sorry. These are not simple times for some of us.”

“It’s okay. Be careful out there.”

With that, the youth left. Arthur felt the encounter was rather strange, but maybe it was a normal occurrence for those who live in Athegas.

The days passed, and it was time for the test to enter Arthur’s crew. The pirates’ guild did an amazing job of spreading the word around the city.

Arthur walked in inside the pirates’ guild, and whispering started the moment he did so.

“Isn’t that Captain Arthur? He’s so young.”

“Don’t let his age fool you. Anyone with a decent strength can tell just by looking that Captain Arthur is not simple.”

“I know, I know. I wish I could enter the test for his crew. Ahh, these new crews have such adventures.”

“Yeah, I know the feeling.”

“Sir, please.” The woman behind the counter asked Arthur to follow her to the room where the test would be.

Arthur walked for a few moments until he arrived at an enormous room with a ring in the middle, presumably for the fights. There were benches for everyone to sit, and a throne in the middle, facing the ring, for Arthur.

Many people were waiting for Arthur. These were all the people who wished to take part in the test to enter the crew.

Young people, old people, man, woman. All kinds of people were there, eagerly waiting for Arthur to show up.

“I don’t get it. Why do so many people want to join my crew?” Arthur gazed at the woman who led him to that room, hoping for an answer.

“It is normal. A new crew is rare these days, and most people don’t have the chance to enter the most famous ones. So, you can say this is a gold opportunity for most people.” The woman said with a bright smile, and Arthur understood everything.

“They are thinking just because it is a new crew, they will have an easier time getting in. Haha, dream on.” thought Arthur, as he smiled wickedly.

With steady steps, Arthur made his way to the throne that was near the ring. He sat and gazed at all the people who wished to join the crew. Most weren’t that high level, but it was a good start.

“Everyone is here today for the test. I’ll not make you lose time. I’ll call two of you randomly each time, and you’ll fight. The winner goes to the winners block, where I’ll be doing the test myself. Understood?”

They moved their heads in response. Everyone already expected the test to be about fighting. No one could turn into a pirate without strength, and Arthur couldn’t conquer the ocean with weak people.

“All right. You, and you!”

Arthur pointed to two random people. Most were of similar level, so there wasn’t a problem of it being unfair. The two chosen stepped inside the ring and prepared themselves to fight.

Before the fight started, someone walked in out of a sudden. It was Kai who slept too much and was late for the test.

“Sorry, boss!”

Kai was the vice-leader of the ship, so he needed to watch everything and give his thoughts to Arthur. Anyway, now that he arrived and sat nea
