Chapter 363

  Their discussion about the concept of Hollywood and Amusement Center, specifically, Disneyland lasted for hours and soon the sun was up. Everyone else who was sleeping was surprised to learn that the others didn’t sleep and just kept talking the whole night, but it didn’t matter. One night without sleep did not affect any of them and it did divert the attention from the dangers of the hidden attackers to the business opportunities they could start once they reached the Gale Continent.

  At least the concept of Disneyland wasn’t too alien to anyone in his family or to his friends, since they had seen some Disney films. When he showed video clips of little children or even toddlers hugging the Disney mascots while visiting Disney, Anton was amused to see that there were tears in Antonia and Lucia’s eyes.

  “I really like that tagline. “Where dreams come true” and these little children who had seen the animated films saw their beloved characters come to life! It’s so heartwarming!” Lucia exclaimed and Antonia nodded.

  After that they all went to the dining hall to eat breakfast. Anton overheard Lunelle asking her mother what they talked about all night.

  While they were eating breakfast, someone came and went directly to Antonia, Lucia, Walter, and Phillip. The man reported to the four while they were eating and they seemed to not care if Anton and his family overheard the report. There was nothing important in what the man was saying since the man just said that everything was peaceful last night.

  “What do you think those attackers' next steps are?” Anton asked Antonia and the other three.

  “Based on what happened and the information the mages received from the ones you captured, they would like low but will not stop searching for that supposedly powerful artifact,” Phillip said.

  “Do you know what the ship’s mages' next moves are concerning those attackers? It’s too dangerous to leave them be,” Anders asked.

  “Once they have decided on what to do, we will learn of it soon,” Lucia said confidently.

  “I’m thinking that they’re still researching how to use magic to identify the assassin group’s members,” Walter said.

  “The major problem in our current situation is, that those in the know will continue to worry until those assassins were captured, including us,” Lucia added.

  “We just have to be extra careful,” Anton’s father commented.

  “I just hate it. Instead of us fully concentrating on our upcoming cosplay event, we have to worry about those scums who sold themselves to the undead. I think I’ll talk to mages later and urge them to solve this problem as soon as possible or I’ll say to my uncle that I’ve lost my confidence in them once we arrive in New Drennor,” Antonia complained.

  If Anton had to be honest, he also felt the same frustration that Antonia was feeling. He wanted to focus on developing his power by leveling up his character and creating his enchanted items but instead, his attention was divided by worry about those stupid ninja wannabes attacking his family and friends.

  For a moment, Anton hoped he was one of those witty, intelligent, anime protagonists that had godly deductive and investigative capabilities so he could deduce where the enemies were and root them out so they could return to their regular day-to-day business on the ship but alas he was not one of those.

  Anton suddenly apologized to his system thinking that he wasn’t complaining about his system since it did make him powerful quickly, allowing him and his family to survive until then. He didn’t want his system to suddenly disappear or anything like that and he suddenly worried that that may happen. He wondered if he should start memorizing regular spells so that at least he would have a modicum of power if for some reason his Diablo II system abandoned him.

  When they returned to the suite after breakfast, Anton checked his grimoire which contained the spells that he had access to within the regular magic system of this world, and saw several spells. For cantrip spells, he had Sleep, Mage Light, Mage Armor, Charm Person, and Clean Item. For level one spells he had Comprehend Language, Disguise Self, Detect Magic, and Clean Small Area. For second-level spells, he had Gust of Wind and Clean Large Area and for level three spells he had Stinking Cloud, Invisibility, Mass Hold Person, Wall of Stone, Disguise Self, and Floating Disk.

  His problem was, that the only spells that he had memorized and were always ready to cast were just the cleaning spells. Thinking about it, of all the regular spells that he had written on his personal grimoire he had actually cast some of them one time and then he abandoned them. If his rank was based on memorizing standard spells, he would have probably been stuck at the cantrip level of power but for some reason, his wizard ranking for the standard magic system of this world was also based on his Diablo II system so based on the result of the magic device that tested the power of mages, he had reached the archmage rank which should allow him to cast level six or seven spells.

  Although some of the spells that he had listed on his grimoire were useful, his go-to spell casting was to use the spells from the Diablo II world since his body and soul were familiar with those spells. He also didn’t have to cast spells using verbal, somatic, or material components which made the spell casting easier for him and even though he had been using his spells without those components, it wasn’t questioned by any of the mages since there was a lot of professions that could use their powers without those components as well.

  Anton had a feeling deep inside of him that his Diablo II system was a part of his very existence so it wouldn’t disappear on him but he thought that it would be a good idea to have more standard spells in his grimoire but then he thought of the funds require to grow his library. It would take a massive amount of wealth based on what he had seen of what spells, especially the higher-level ones, cost. He knew that once their cinema business was established in New Drennor, gold was not going to be a problem for him and Anna.

  He decided then that he would inscribe a single spell to his grimoire and memorize a spell once a week. Even though Anton thought that he might not use them, it would still be a good idea for them to be there when he needed them. It was just he found that memorizing spells was a bother even though it would only take him several minutes for each spell. With his system spells, they’re just there, ready to be used anytime he wanted.

  Anton thought that if anyone knew, they might ask why not memorize more spells since it would only take him a few minutes but had too many things on his plate already. He needed to concentrate on leveling up his characters and then hunting for the “Best in Slot” gears. Then he needed to practice each of his characters' spells so he could master them. By mastering his spells, his system would allow him to modify or combine the mana structure of his spells and that would take a tremendous amount of time. Even the ice spells from the Sorcerer character, which he had the most practice in, would only be considered as just a step above the novice mastery.
