9. Bizzare Play: Dead Man Ship.
Our sailboat had passed half way of its journey to reach (runway port) Jamaica.
The scroching red flaming wheel was just over the horizon. The white rays hits the eyes waking the admiral up. Sudden night storm had been subsided away. Sulking the life force out of me.
"Robin, get some sleep," vice admiral asked.
Finally, some rest. Drunken frishky mate is still on his hangover over his glass bottle. laying inside the cover of his black thin blanket. How was he able to sleep in that stormy night. "Hmm" now that I take a closer look. This bottles look expensive. Is this rum that much strong. It had a quite a different mark than regular one. I reached out my hands towards it.
" Oh holy mother of..," a snow owl passed in front of my eyes. Was that a warning call. I looked into the sky to follow its wings.
"Hah," foggy mist suddenly started shrouding and my eye sight got 10 to 0 in point blank second not able to see far. My senses were down. I tried to looked straight. Black shadow emerged from fog. Giving off all the greyish shadow ashes. My lower jaw dropped as my mouth just gaped open. I was surprised. Looking at the frilish flag of skull on top of the smokey mast of the large ship. Fog was surrounding the ship.
"Get ready, pirates," vice admiral stood up. he moved the tiller right side. To get out of the large ship's path.
Refer to the image link please.
It was barque a three mast ship with pointed bow(front). Huh our ship stopped.
"We are going updeck." John said as he noticed something was wrong.
"Wait what, we can't. there can be a crew it's pirate ship. I might not want to be an hinderance,"

"Get your weapon prepared. Robin," good now I am just been ignored. We got our boat anchored to the side of the barque. Grey ashes were still surrounding the sea. Nobody can be seen on the deck, which is kinda a suprising. John centrifuged the hook roped and throwed it straight towards the gunwall( cavity in upper deck wall to support big gun). It hooked.
He streghted the chainrope to see it's tensility and asked me to go first. I was like noooooooo, nevermind. I am here for experiment dammit. I have to seriously do something about vice admiral otherwise my vitality will be shorten. I took a deepest breath in my life and probably the last one. Gripped my hands around the rope tightly and started climbing through my remaining time of life as it keep on decreasing. Finally, "huff," I landed on the deck. it is kinda difficult to see as the grey ashclouds were hindering my vision. There was a pretty bad stench of a rotting fish.
My eyes caught something. I moved forward. There was something.....
"Haaaaaaaaa. I lashed backwards thanks to my toes. What was that? "Holy shit," I am dreaming. yes this is all a dream. I hit the chest of John.
"Robin," with a smile John said
"Sorry sir," I moved aside from his path. there shouldn't be much difference in our age but why did it feel like he is more of a bad news than what I just saw. One day I am going to tear that pony tail of his head. He moved towards the ashes as I followed keeping my sword out in front of me.
This was gory, the man's head was pierced right through his tough skull, hanging like a bearded hairy flag with nothing to care about on the deck with the help of the standing sword. It was litteraly like a vertically standing barbeque stick with a human meat and reddish black sauce.

"Is this what made your pants wet, Robin," he removed the sword out of the deck with the skull still hanginly penetrated.
Oh come on this is just a meat on a stick with REDЯUM sauce.
"Who is afrai.....vomiting," oh I am dead.
John throwed the head into the sea but my eyes were burning with the meat in the stick image.Grey smoke were subsiding because of strong winds."Vomiting noise" I would prefer not to increase more stench but dammit it is a corpse ship. "vomiting".
Everyone had become meat. With the line of black vulture fluttering and tearing their feast. I looked in those black round eyes of vulture, they are very nostalgic. May be remind me of my mother. "Hmm, nah she is much better." John moved towards the capstan( a vertical rotating device to used to control anchor of ship manually) near the mainmast. Vulture's were quite curious or may be fed up with their meaty breakfast as their head followed vice admiral greedily. The capstan was slightly in an anchored state. May be they were anchoring at the time of storm. Sails were also down so that they don't flow with the wind.
"What would have happened here." John asked as he moved towards aft(opposite to bow or the stern area of deck).
"A plague maybe,"
"Nah,Yellow Jack is not on the sail," looking throughout the corpse. ( Yellow Jack is a flag to notify there is a disease in ship.)
"A fight between members, ya that's why there was a meat stick," fight between other pirates can't be because there was no damage to the ship so it got to be inmates fight.
"You know there was this one-time I saw the deadliest fight in the navy. One man captain vs 40 of its crew mate. What do you thing who won." He investigated the flesh cuts from the swords as he traches the cuts through his finger.
What the hell is he spouting obviously, 40 men will win isn't it obvious.
"Haha-haha-haHaha he is still alive, I would never forget this fighting style."
He is gone full pinheaded I guess. I moved towards the captain cabin, to know what was going on. That idiot is day dreaming. I opened the wooden carved door. "Huh, clang sound of glass" my leg hit an empty glass bottle. I lift it up it has a weird pattern which kinda a remind me of something..........It suddenly clicked, this bottle, noway drunken frishky.
"Robin," admiral screamed from the deck......

A Demon's Tail
He was born in a dark place, in a world where souls were traded like coins and a person's life wouldn't amount to much. A world where a single misspoken promise could rip you to shreds. On top of everything, his only soul was acting up and mocking him! It couldn't get much worse in his opinion... ——————————————————————————————— Reading Order of the Multiverse-Books ——————————————————————————————— Author's Comment: I was asked about reading my work on other sites. The answer is simple: Currently, I am not active in any other networks than royalroadl.com. Only here, I correct mistakes and errors. If you read it anywhere else and have to pay for it or have to deal with an annoying amount of advertisement, You Are Being Betrayed. You would do good if you make other people in that network aware of it. This is a free project of mine for the purpose of having fun. And if people try to make money with it you shouldn't bother visiting their website. The only one whom I actually allowed to have my work on his website is Armaell who invested the time to compile them into pdf. (http://armaell-library.net/author/andur)

The Errant Otherworlder Watanabe
“In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death, taxes and trucks whom transport men to other worlds.” Meet our titular protagonist Haruto Watanabe, a man who has all the markings of a good protagonist for a generic portal fantasy story. As an overworked office worker, to escape from the grips of crippling capitalist alienation, he had taken up to reading many stories where young men like him were transported to other worlds and enjoyed their lives at a most leisurely pace. Armed with genre-awareness and (what he believes to be) a marketable personality which would make him an easy audience self-insert, he longed for the day the isekai express would take him to his long-awaited adventure to another world. When the fateful day came, where the fair yet harsh mistress that is the fabled truck took Watanabe on one last date to the other side, he was most ready to escape his previous life, ready to embark on an errant so great he’d be most overpowered, his heroics so exceptional and his harem so vast that they would barely fit ten or twenty volumes of an overly long novel made by a desperate author looking for quick cash. Lo and behold however, Watanabe instead found himself in a low fantasy world which lacked severely in the department of any game-like systems, cheat skills or easily charmed damsels in distress. In a setting so antithetical to his established genre savviness or any attempts at power fantasy, how will a man like Watanabe, lacking in strength, wits and courage, manage to survive in a land most foreign to him? This is my first time trying to share to the wider world what I’ve written, and I hope you’ll enjoy reading the errantry of Watanabe as much as I enjoy writing about them. I'll be posting one chapter per week on Sundays, along with extra chapters whenever I get the chance to write more than usual.
