《Gargoile found the library tower》Chapter 8. Trade

"Kraken!"
"Leave the ship!"
---
I don´t know how I came to this island. I remember our ship being attacked. I see myself in a island. I don´t know this island. In other words I don´t know way back home. There is food in the island but I have family who is waiting for me. I must come back home as soon as possible.
But how?
Even if I build a boat I could be eaten. Boat could fall apart and finally direction could be wrong. No sun can be seen here.
Reason for it is kraken´s awakening. All sailors know kraken lives in these waters. That thing sleeps centuries and awakes to eat a lot.
Kraken´s spells block all light from the sky and no light spells can be used here. Basically no one can enter or exit this place without knowing their way. That spell is told to make everyone go circles. Thanks to this he can eat as long as he wants. Normally all live will be lost but there is great defence in my home island. It was made because of threat against enemies beyond the sea.
At least that is what I used to think. Everyone thought kraken was just a myth. Even if one existed it size must have been over exaggerated. It was even bigger than what was told.
It was told kraken was big enough to grap into mast and keep a hold until ship is turned around.
It was big enough to bind itself around the trade ship multiple times over. I wouldn´t be suprised it could throw a ship into the air in shallow waters. I would have died for sure if we had been in shallow waters.
As I scouted around the island I saw abandoned boats. They must have been leaved alone for a long time. This isn´t enough to return. I don´t think his abilities were exaggerated.

While I was looking place to sleep I saw great tower. I must have missed it because everything was dark. Why haven´t I seen or hear anything about this place? I choosed to enter after knocking.
"Come in." (Gargoile)
"Sorry for disturbing you. Could I spent a night here?" (Sailor)
"Sure. No problem. Stay as long as you want to." (Gargoile)
I saw gargoyle monster in front of me but I have no other choices.
He left me alone. I was grateful for it. I could spent night crying for my sailor friends, family and friends. Afterwards I felt better. I was convinced what I should do next.
Next morning.
"Can you help me to get back to my home?" (Sailor)
"At first. Could you explain your situation?" (Gargoile)
---
"I see. You surely understand I can hardly do anything for you." (Gargoile)
"I read this place rulers. I know this place could connect to my home island. Why aren´t you doing so?" (Sailor)
"I´m going to meet someone again today. It was arranged ahead of time. I can´t change my plans." (Gargoile)
"Do people lifes matter so little to you? Of course. You are monster. Nothing is going to be free to you. Should I pay with my soul? That is just natural to you." (Sailor)
"You sure can keep people around you happy. I´m sure you have never made anyone angry before." (Gargoile)
"I don´t need smart mouthing." (Sailor)
"What did you expect!? No one is forcing me to help you. Sure. There is change I could connect to your home but change is too low. I can only connect to places where I have been before and your home isn´t such place." (Gargoile)
"What should I do then?" (Sailor)
"All I can do for you is teach how to make compass. I understand you made me angry on purpose to gain my help. I understand you were in hopeless situation but next time things won´t go so easily. I hope we can meet again in better time. I can only give you a change. There is still one thing which I want from you in return." (Gargoile)
"And what is that?" (Sailor)
"I need knowledge from your world. Can you help me? Oh, compass is tool for navigation." (Gargoile)

8 571God of Shinobi - A Naruto SI
Finding myself in the body of Naruto Uzumaki was pretty unsettling. But I can't complain too much because Kami knows there are plenty of other characters that get way less plot armor. Enough talk, there are enemies to kill and plans to be disrupted. Wouldn't have signed up for this, but since I'm here, might as well get the job done.

8 94The Due
Every sailor knows the tale of Davy Jones' Locker. That place drowned sailors are sent to, ever resting on sea's bed. Some tales recount of a ghostly ship, the Flying Dutchman. Many a story has spawned from these two tales. Countless retellings mixing in their own fictions. But all stories spawn with a kernel of truth to them, and the story of Davy Jones is no exception. Those who've met the legendary seaman and his ghostly ship might call him a ferryman, escorting the drowned to their respective afterlives. Others might call him a devil, meting punishment on those deserving. The true story is always slightly different. Davy Jones is a ferryman, but not one for the afterlife, as Walter finds out. No, Davy Jones manages those who die at sea while in debt, and Walter died with a lot of debt. Unable to pay, Davy puts Walter to work. The specter has just the job for the dead college graduate. Another god, Sod, needs an afterlife for his new world. Davy tasks Walter with the job. Suddenly, Walter finds himself having to run a fledgling underworld with little instruction from Sod. To top it off, the denizens of Sod's world have their own ambitions to achieve godhood, and they won't take kindly to Sod's newest employee shaking up the status quo. [Traumatizing Content tag is up just to let everyone know this will be a story that deals with different themes of death. Some of them won't be nice and so better to be safe than sorry.]
