Chapter 441. Maiden in Distress
You’re probably reading this while lying on your side in bed, your device plugged in or charging. Maybe your pillow’s slightly warm on one side, and the screen’s casting a soft glow in the dark.
"Wow... How did he know?" Tyler muttered to himself.
He was indeed lying in bed, one hand behind his head and using the Ship’s Holographic tech to read the posts and Updates in NN. His room gently swayed with the rhythm of the ocean, a constant reminder that he wasn’t on solid land but drifting somewhere deep in the vast sea. The glow from the 3D hologram display illuminated his hair and the faint smirk tugging at the corner of his lips.
Though he is not using it now. He is charging his communication device. Charging the device wasn’t a problem — not when it was designed to absorb Aura naturally from the user. Some models ran on Prana instead, depending on the energy they are cultivating, but Tyler preferred the Hybrid version. Because he is a Dual (Aura and Prana) Immortal Practitioner.
"NN’s pretty annoying to connect in the sea," Tyler muttered again.
NN — short for Neural Nexus — was the go-to Northern Network for digital communication, news updates, and gossip spreading network of the North.
Usually Internet worked flawlessly across the Ixalaria Continent, where towers and floating relays dotted the sky, providing strong, consistent signal.
But out here?
In the middle of the untamed sea?
Forget it.
Signal came and went like whispers in the wind. Sometimes you were lucky, sometimes you weren’t. No one knew where or how the signal appeared — it was like a ghost ship drifting through the fog. Tyler was fairly confident that his luck stat helped a bit, especially after peeking into his own past during the particular Dream.
