Side Chapter 1 Sinbad's Journey P1

[3 and a half years ago, When Sinbad had just received his father's scimitar from his Dead Mother's wishes]

[Sinbad's Pov]

A month after, I had finally conquered Baal's Dungeon and managed to obtain all the loot and treasures in the Dungeon, along with being the first in the world ever to conquer a dungeon... In this era, at least according to what Baal had told me.

As well as the day after being sent back to my home village, "Tison Village," right after I conquered Baal's Dungeon by Yunan using his flight magic, which I gotta say was so fast that I almost puked after landing in the village. When I arrived in the village, I suddenly saw some of our neighbors, about concerning my mother, while telling me that it has been two months.

When I heard that, I instinctively rushed back to my house to find Mom and see her condition since the reactions the neighbor gave earlier knew it wasn't any good. And when I finally met my mom again, I saw that she was in a terrible condition; when I saw this, I thought my heart was about to explode in pain and sadness.

My Mom was the only family I had left in this world after my father was taken away from those greedy assholes of the Parthevian Army due to him accidentally a foreign spy; when that happened, I had already sworn to avenge the people who forced the father to go back to the war despite all his injuries.

So after mourning that day due to not helping my mom, despite taking out one of the treasures that could help my Mom, according to Yunan, I had obtained from the dungeon. However, when I tried to give it to her, it was already too late, as when I was about to take it out, my mom told her last words towards me, and due to those words, I wasn't able to move as I remembered my time with her, as I grew up and when Father was still with us.

So after that day, I decided to grow stronger, find a place where I could belong, and become like my father, who told me stories of great men who traveled the world and seven seas. In the mount, before I planned to stow away a ship in Contastia Harbor of Parthevia Empire, using the various treasures that I had obtained in Baal's dungeon, which I honestly had no use for right now, I then sold most of the treasures that I had obtained from the Dungeons. I donated the Rials from those to help the people from the village, which, even though they were one of the causes of Father's death, still helped my mother and me in the years before I met Yunan.

And aside from those, I also gave the people from Constastia Harbor the rials to buy ships and opened the harbor again to help out the people, like my father, who realized fishing as their livelihood; I guess I was just extremely nostalgic at the time. But even though I sold some of my treasures, I still kept all the most valuable treasures from the Dungeon; that was a piece of advice given to me my Baal, which from time to time talks to me telepathically like a magician, using my saber as a so-called contact according to him.

When I first heard Baal's words inside my mind, approximately after a week when I returned to the village, I first thought I became crazy since I didn't know that the Baal from inside the dungeon could talk to me even when I hadn't summoned him yet from my metal vessel, which was a term given by Yunan before he left the village just a few days after Mom had died, due to in quote from him.

[Yunan] "Ah, Sorry Sinbad-kun, but I have somewhere else to go since I have to visit somewhere new, so Byeee." And after saying those exact words, I remember Yunan suddenly flying off on his wand/staff. So due to that, I exactly wasn't able to figure out what to do back then with my Metal Vessel since I was even only able to use Baal back then thanks to Yunan's guidance. After that, I couldn't use Baal even when I continued to pour my magoi into my weapon.

And so after that, thanks to the much better Guidance from Baal compared to the half-ass knowledge Yunan gave me, thanks to his surprisingly tender-hearted personality when not in battle or in training me, despite his constant angry expression with a dumb-looking face. And given his guidance, I was then able to use my metal vessel greatly better, and he even said that I was talented that I could be the perfect king candidate.

When I ask him what he meant at the time, was a king candidate, he told me that magi chose magi to become the next king of the world. When I heard that, I was confused as I didn't think I knew any notable Magi, but with a similar face of surprise, Baal then said.

[Baal] "Didn't you know, kid? The guy in green robes you were with when you first summoned me was a Magi?"

When I heard, I accidentally let out a shout of surprise; I thought Yunan was only a simple traveling magician since he looked quite pitiful when I first met him, completely not something I would think a legendary figure like magi would do something like that. Still, I guess it would honestly explain how he knew all about Dungeons and other stuff that normal travelers should probably know about.

Sp after being surprised by that info from Baal, I temporarily kept that info in my mind. When I reencounter Yunan, I could finally confront him about him not telling me that he was a mage.

So anyway, after that, I continued to learn about the various uses of Metal Vessels from Baal, while also, according to him, learning a special saber technique passed down from the previous master that was specifically designed for him.

Despite my protests to him, I was still forced by Baal to use one of the treasures he told me not to sell, specifically an armband named "Dracon Glover," which according to Baal, would transform my hand partially into someone from his species, which is required to use and learn his saber technique.

And he told me that once I master my metal vessel, I would eventually be able to conduct a transformation with my Metal Vessel, which would be extremely cool if I am suddenly able to transform into a Dragonoid guy. Still, I hope that I won't go Dragonoid fully since if I do, a probably couldn't hang out with the ladies anymore.

When I was in that transformation, I wouldn't need the armband anymore to do his special saver technique that required Dragonoid features even to use.

And in turn, after days of those training and using my metal vessel and learning from Baal, which was low-key training slightly so I wouldn't alert those damn Parthevian Soldiers who are still probably butthurt after I took away all those treasures from the dungeon.

So As I finally decided to leave Parthevia and start my Journey with Baal, through the seven seas of the world, in the harbor, I spot an upstart girl beating up a defenseless civilian.

So due to my instinct, I decided to block the Girl's lethal blow towards the civilian while stopping her.

After taking a closer look, I saw that the girl was charming, very much my type. Still, when I remembered her actions towards the man earlier, I immediately turned off those types of thoughts as I hear, from the sides, that the Girl was the princess of this shitty country which gave me more reasons not to like her.

While she started some arrogant words and was about to attack, thanks to Baal's training, I had become much stronger than before, so, seeing the girl's futile attempt of stabbing me with her blade, I laughed as I taunted her.

[Sinbad] " Hey Princess, I thought you are a bit stronger being called venomous princess."

And as I taunted her further, which enraged her even more, I was suddenly alerted by Baal in my mind that a ton of soldiers were nearing, so not wanting to waste my time on that, I decided to pick up the venomous Princess as I rushed, towards my boat, and declared her my hostage so the soldiers would attack my boat.

After I was far enough from the Shore, I suddenly hear the princess covering herself at the edge of the boat saying.

[ Princess] " What are you going to do to me, you scoundrel? I am a royal princess of the Empire; you will regret your life if you ever dare to kay your filthy commoner hands on me."

As I heard her words, I chuckled at the girl's foolishness for not realizing her situation, but I decided to tell her while looking directly into her face.

[ Sinbad] "Oh princess, sorry to burst your bubbles, but you are not my type, at least not your personality, so Byeee."

And as I said that, I threw her out of the boat while inside a single barrel in my ship, while waving away from her as I sailed further into the sea, while proclaiming I could change the world.

... But after that, I now realized that I am suddenly on the shore somewhere I didn't know about in my boat, which had nothing left in it except my own personal belongings, such as my metal vessels, and the treasures that I kept according to Baal's advice.; as I shouted

"Where the hell Am I now."
