Anton told his father to select one of the magic item recorders so he could see Anton singing whenever he wanted and his father chose the book. The good thing about all of the magic item recorders was that the images emitted faint light so they also could function as some sort of a night light and he had to admit that the glowing book with an image of someone singing beautiful songs was charming to look at.
Another upside was how easy it was to recharge the magic item recorders. With a full mana charge, it would probably last a year if one would use them for like six hours a day.
He then told Anna that she could also select one and she immediately selected the music box. After that, Anton immediately kept the remaining three magic item recorders in his inventory. Some of the other people were disappointed but Anton did not plan to give out the remaining items. He even planned to replace the recording as soon as he collected new song covers.
After dinner, the whole family watched Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and then they all went to rest. Before sleeping, Anton spent a couple of hours practicing his character's skills especially the recent ones like the Barbarian and the Assassin.
After a week had passed, Anton’s Barbarian character leveled up to level fifty-eight. He was now spending a lot more time practicing his characters' skills to make sure that he was thoroughly familiar with them. He spent a couple of hours each day doing so replacing the time he spent creating magic items. However he did create a single enchanted item each day to make sure that his collection of enchanted items kept growing because he knew that his family might need them to increase their wealth.
He was a bit disappointed that the Barbarian high-level skills did not change his body as he expected but remained the same. The only thing that changed was the ferocious aura that he emitted when he cast those Barbarian skills.
Anton was also so satisfied with the information that he was learning in his magic classes that he even thought of adding more time to them by adding more classes but then he felt wary of biting more than he could chew. He decided that he would just stick to his plan of replacing his current classes with new ones once they were over.
He also kept playing with Torun, Blake, Amelia, Soren, and his gang since their shenanigans felt that Anton was maintaining some sort of mental balance that he needed to function as a healthy person. He also thought that his father was glad that he was spending time with his friends.
Even though he also spent time with Antonia, Lucia, Philip, and Walter, their interest was not the same as his and their only common ground was movies and television shows. They still spent a lot of time in the family suite to make sure that they didn’t miss any extra movies or television shows that the family was watching.
The family returned to watching Xena: Warrior Princess, Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, Star Trek: The Next Generation, and Avatar: The Last Airbender since Anton told everyone that it would be best if they completed those shows before they watched something new.

The next film that the cinema would show after Beauty and the Beast was the 2001 film A Knight’s Tale starring Heath Ledger. The interesting thing about this film was his family and his friends had not seen the film yet so they were also excited at the opening day of the film.
Anton’s father and the others kept to the theme of choosing films that were set in a setting that wouldn’t shock the citizens of this world too much. The only ones who would watch the movies that could be considered shocking or bizarre like Star Wars, Star Trek, and Avatar, were his family and friends.
On the day of the opening of the new movie, the audience was shocked when they learned that the owners of the cinema had not seen the new movie as well. The excitement in the air became much more palpable and even Anton joined in the fun by attending the premiere together with Anders and Anna. He hadn’t seen the film as well since when they chose a list of films that they were planning to show in the cinema, one of their requirements was the setting and Anton couldn't have seen all of them, especially when he was on Earth since he didn’t have the time nor the money to do so. Here in this world, he had the funds to watch all the films that he wanted but he didn’t have the time. He was busy leveling up his characters and practicing his spells. He mostly watched films together with his family and sooner or later they would have seen all of the movies that Anton had seen already and would have to watch movies that he had not seen yet just like the current film that they were watching which was also exciting for Anton in a way.
That would be in the future though since he had seen a lot of movies and television shows even with Anton’s limited resources. He also watched some anime during his downtime that he felt that his family would not be interested in watching.
The movie A Knight’s Tale was a fun action film but the best thing about it was the music since some of the songs were from one of the best bands that Earth had ever produced, which was Queen. He had to admit that songs performed by Freddie Mercury like the song We Are The Champions and We Will Rock You could make anyone’s blood boil.
Anton decided that he would cover those songs but knew for a fact that he wouldn’t be able to give it justice so he would only record them to critique them and not to show anybody.
After the movie ended, conversations exploded among the audience and most of those were excited murmurings from girls who fell in love with Heath Ledger who was the main protagonist of the film. He remembered Heath Ledger as one of the best Joker characters and when the man died then he wondered how his family would react to one of those superhero films.
He joined his family for lunch then after that, Anders and the others remained to take care of the cinema while the mages returned to the suite to practice their magic.
When they arrived at the suite Anton headed directly to his room and entered his Diablo II system. The first thing that he did was to create a single enchanted item then he continued leveling up his Barbarian character. He was really excited to find out what would happen once he reached the maximum level of all of the characters in his Diablo II system.
To be honest, if there was no need to make sure that his body was familiar with every spell and skill of every character in Diablo II, he would rush the leveling-up process so he could find what the future was in store for his system but decided to be patient and take his time.
Anton also knew that he should continue his practice by modifying his spells and combining his spells since he got a feeling that that was the way that he could increase his power. He planned to concentrate on doing such things once he maximized all of his characters' levels together with whatever new thing that his Diablo II system would come up with.
