Jacob finally took his first good rest after several months creating a tunnel. It took him several months, and after such a long time , jacob did finally harvested coconut sprouts from the south east and was able to plant dozens of them in his nearby house at the kingdom of atlantis. He also build another field to increase his yard. That way he could increase his planted herbs. For the past months he had successfully added vegetables on it, like squash, potatoes, egg plant and cabbages. Jacobs farm is growing increadibly and as of now, the only thing he could think of is market.
In the place where most of the people are warriors , mages, assasins and hunters, there are only less percentage of people alloting their time in farming. No one acknowledges the importance of plants in daily life in the current world, perhaps it was only jacob who knows the importance of it.
Jacob: With these crops, i could finally market most of them at an affordable prize, however, i wonder if they know the values of these plants in the first place.
So jacob harvested some of them and have commissioned anna if she will be able to sell some of his crops in the market. Seeing his friend being so pitiful, anna agreed to sell his crops for an affordable prize however there will be a commission.
Anna: 10 percent of your income.
Jacob: 10 percent?
Anna: Yes , 10 percent isnt much jacob.
Jacob understand the situation so he agreed to annas condition in the end. However it is already a gain for jacob. He could atleast gain a silver of coins every month with his crops. Not only that, with ana as a merchant and with a new passage to the south east, he could start to market fishes to the atlantean and sell it in a remarkable prize in the market.
Jacob: It isnt a great task for me, but with these, not only will i train my body, i could also earn silver coins. This is the power of agricultural business.
So jacob started his next schedule by watering his crops one by one in the morning, and in the afternoon cleaning his house and yard. Then on the following day, he would travel to the south east through the man made tunnel to build his second house. Then on the next day, he would once again head back to the kingdom of atlantis to water his crops, and clean his house. Then on the next day he will once again head back to south east to continue building his house.
It happens several days and night and right after jacob finishes building his house for weeks, jacob begun creating a wooden fishing boat with paddle on both sides. Another week has passed doing his chores alternately and jacob has finally finished his fishing boat, second house and was able to manage his crops. Jacob third work as of right now after being a farmer, beside as a marketer is being a fisherman.

The following day, early morning, with his fishing boat, he started fishing. He was so excited to figure out how rich are the seas of the past earth, so he travelled several kilometers away from the shore paddling his boat.
Jacob: I am hoping for a great hunt today.
After jacob paddled for hours, he went for a quick rest and get a breather. He looked at the rising sun above him and breeze of the sea coming towards him. The moment he feel ready jacob then went into the water. So jacob dove down the strong sea current of south easts deep sea. When he is about 5 meters away from the surface, he felt a strong killing intent arround him. He then search out for it hoping that it was not a sea monster. He stroked and stroked for a dive under the strong sea and just when he reached 10 meters, there he saw a humungous yellow fin Tuna . It was watching him at the very beginning of his dive. It then attempted to hammer jacob and smacked him under the strong sea current, yet Jacob fight back.
He pulled out his sword and aimed for the tunas upcoming attack. The current jacob is several stronger compared to his past, under the strong current he is able to defend a strong attack from the upcoming wild sea tuna.
Jacob: strong, so am i.
Jacob was pushed back from his position yet he still remained composed. The wild tuna then dashed for the second time towards jacob trying to pin him down. It wage its tail aiming for jacobs head. It was fast, jacob might be in trouble if he cant caught up. Never did the fish know that jacob is prepared. Jacob waited for its attack and as soon as it reaches jacob, he then swiftly dodge it and stuck his sword on its head. Jacob was immediately dragged up by the rampaging tuna. It then jumped up of the sea water surface carrying jacob on its back. Jacob cant help himself but shout for joy, because for him, it was fun.
Jacob: Woooh!! Woooh!!
The tuna then went down under the surface dragging jacob to the deep sea, yet jacob didnt budge and kept on holding his sword, on the other hand, blood loss would kill the tuna any time soon. Yet it keeps on diving deeper and deeper, jacob hold his breath under the sea waiting for the strong fish to hold its last breath. He was then dragged up of the surface and as quick as he could, he gets a breather. It then dragged jacob down once more and dragged him up. It was resisting to its fate, yet it was already to late, the tuna is bleeding to its death. Several minutes later, the fish then stopped moving and remained floating on the sea surface.
Jacob: Wah. my lungs almost exploded. This fish did gived me a hard time.

Finally jacob fished a huge tuna, seein his great harvest jacob felt glad. He then strode it towards his boat and tied it at the back with rope. With his harvest, jacob started paddling his fishing boat.
Jacob: Fisherman aint easy, plus its a good training, and a good source of living. woot woot.
claimed by jacob as he paddled his boat back to the south east shore. It took him several hours until he reached the shore, then he unloaded the massive fish and carried it on his back. He then put it inside his second house. Then he head back to the shore to keep his boat out of the sea. Jacob then went back inside his house to cut off the tunas head.
Jacob: Now, the head will be mine, and the body will belong to the market.
Jacob then keep the head and store it on a cabinet, then he went out for a hike towards the kingdom of atlantis carrying a massive tuna on his back.

Jacob: in the southeast, i carried it here hoping for a great market tonight, hope it will sell.
Guard 1: Oh surely mr.jacob this is kingdom of atlantis. Im sure it will be hit.
Jacob: haha, well then, see you later.
The two guards then welcomed jacob one last time and let him in. On his way, many atlanteans saw jacobs fish, and was dumbstruck on what they saw, on the other hand no one noticed how can a guy like jacob carry such a huge fish on his own. Well, they cant be bothered with it, afterall, this an ancient world. Several minutes later, jacob reached the market where his friend anna is located.
The moment anna saw the fish being carried by jacob, she then immediately gets a blanket and laid it on the ground near to her items. Then she welcomed jacob.
Anna : Friend Jacob, youve got a great catch right there.
Jacob: Anna, im hear to sell this fish, can you help me out.
Anna: Oh surely, ill be able to help you out with that, who am i? im anna.
Jacob: Haha, thanks.
Anna: lets sell this fish for now.
Jacob: Wait ana, let me chop the meat first and sell it that way?
Anna: Huh?
So jacob begun chopping the meat of the fish on several pieces. At that moment, many customers started to gather around them wanting to buy a piece of those meat fish from ana and jacob. Well, its market so, anna gladly welcomed everyone of them. On the other hand, jacob is happy to see the reaction of those customers wanting to buy a piece of his fish.
Jacob: Marketing, this is business marketing. fish meat, fish meat.
Many customers also asked ana and jacob about the fish, and where did they get it. They also asked jacob how did he battle such fish. As a part of the market, jacob tell them the story of how he fought it in the south east sea. It even attracted even more and more customer, that it makes anna become even more overwhelmed. After several hours in the market, the only thing that remains on jacobs fish are bones.
Jacob : Anna, we gained much today, here is 10 silver coins for you.
Anna: Thanks jacob, it was a great day for me, not only did i sell much but i also attracted so many customers, thanks to you.
Jacob: Not a problem.
Anna: Oh about your crops, i sold them all out, like what youve told me they liked the taste of the crops so they asked if i still have some stock left.
Jacob: It will be probably be available next month.
Anna: I see thats, well, no other choice but to wait, and about the fish, are you going to sell it regularly?
Jacob: I'll skip for tommorrow, maybe the next day ill try.
Anna: Thats good, seeing how we attracted lots of customer today, its a hit jacob.
Jacob nodded in agreement to anna. Infact never did jacob thought that he would earn 4 gold coins in just one night. He could already live for a month for a gold of coin, and now he has four on his hands. It was a great day. That night, jacob bid his goodbye to his friend ana and head back to his house.
Its already late at night, on his way, jacob could clearly see the bright stars above the sky of atlantis. Its a beautiful night for jacob.
