Emm... Before we begin, can you all take a moment to breathe in and out? Please calm down and relax... Please don't attack this cute lil' author of yours, please! It appears that there is a set time before I can apply for premium for the next month (and I also got lazy with my stockpile that ran out) so it will be set to august. (Therefore I'll just rush this extra chapter vol and begin the main plot right away... My birthday is August 1st, premium will start August 1st, MGS lasts for 4 months. My novel started on 01/01/2019 and therefore it will end 01/01/2021. (thanks for forgiving me hopefully no pitchforks and torches pls) - your cute lil' author

"Well, that should be the half-way mark… Right?" Sylvie asked as she pointed at a deformed statue that was supposed to be a landmark.

"Umm… Yeah… I think I saw that section of it in a book before. Albeit, it looks really strange… Do sea monsters eat stone or something?" Ariana asked.

"Uhh no… It probably just wore down after years of neglect. Well… Maybe one day it will be restored to original. Though, that will take a very long time." Sylvie replied as she looked at the fog and the body of water that surrounded them.

"Yeah, it looked really pretty in the picture that was drawn in the textbooks. It would be really nice if the Lurking Waters of Death was restored. I heard that a lot of people liked to travel using ships here." Maria said as she joined them in their conversation.

"Yeah, maybe if SS-ranked adventurers Lina and Melissa were still alive this could be reversed. I heard the both of them were magicians, however, they still died ultimately in the end after fighting the evil god. It is only thanks to their power along with the 3 others of the hero party were they finally able to defeat that evil god." A female adventurer said softly.

"Just how strong are the SS-ranked adventurers in the end? I mean we're already A-ranked adventurers. Almost the strongest out of them all, almost reaching S-rank. There can't be such a huge gap between S and SS-ranked right?" Ariana muttered, however, they were still able to hear her words with their high level of hearing.

"No, there is a really huge gap. That's why there are only 5 SS-ranked adventurers in this entire world." An adventurer replied to her.

"I've seen the destruction an SS-ranked adventurer has caused. I didn't get to see them in person, however, I was able to see the aftermath. An entire mountain was leveled in an instant. I don't know which of the 3 it was that are still living." The adventurer added as he looked at the rest of the group.

"I see, can you tell us a bit more about this difference? Along with some comparisons?" Chad asked as he was curious.

"Sure, I don't mind. We still have a long way to go after all." The adventurer nodded as it was his turn to tell a story.
