Far away from the Uncommon Region, a black ship was floating on the calm surface of the water under the bright light of the sun.
Surrounding this black ship was a vast body of blue ocean, and as far as eyes could see, there was nothing but water.
Suddenly, ripples started to appear on the calm water's surface, as if something was coming out.
'Splash…'
A silhouette shoots out from the water before it landed on the black ship deck.
This person was wearing a tight black diving suit and was 6.5 feet tall. His face was exposed as he was extremely handsome with pale white skin, sharp amber eyes, and a chiseled jawline.
He had a masculine build like an athlete, and the most eye-catching thing about him was his long silver hair and sword-like silver eyebrows. Who could it be but Jacob?
Jacob threw three feet long fish with a long black horn on its head, onto the deck as it was already killed by him.
"I might go sick eating this Horn Fish regularly. Just where the fuck is that despair mist? I should've reached there a month ago but here I am still wandering in this place. I wonder if this map is even accurate or not." Jacob mumbled with a sharp look on his face.
It had been over 10 months since he started his voyage toward the Rare Plains, but after he entered the star ocean and left the common plains, he just kept moving forward without knowing where he was.
He just had a virtual map to navigate, and he had more than one, so it was impossible for all of them to be wrong, but for some reason, the famous despair mist didn't appear according to the map.
So, Jacob became restless after an entire month passed, but he didn't dare to change the route on the black ship because this would reset the coordinates, afraid he might lost in this ocean.
Not only he didn't encounter any vicious aquatic beasts on his journey, but he even had to hunt for food.
However, according to the map and route he was on, he had already entered the Eastern Star Ocean of the rare plains, and in a week, he would reach the shore of the rare plains.
Even after searching the star network, he got the same result, and the map was completely accurate so, he guessed that the famous mist was just a hoax or all those maps were.
Either way, he knew going back wasn't an option, and he decided to wait for two weeks to see if he reached the shore or not.
While on the common plains, he had already experienced and tested the accuracy of the black ship's autopilot and the map again and again, so he knew they were not with any issues.
It had something to do with the star ocean, probably.
If he really reached the rare plains without encountering the famous despair mist, then he would consider himself lucky and move on.
But if he was lost or there was something wrong with the navigation function, then all he could do was get ready for the worse.
Anyhow, in these past months, Jacob wasn't just idle. He continued to increase his knowledge about the rare plains and anything that could interest him in the star network.
Furthermore, he had more refined control over his strength as well.
He could even hunt this Horn Fish, which was a Common-Tier-12 species now, and inside the water at that.
Jacob discovered that for some reason, he could move in the water like an agile fish and as he stayed in the water, his speed would increase.
He mused that it might have something to do with water meditation, which he hadn't practiced since he left the tyrant mansion, and he won't even think of trying it in this deep ocean unless he wanted to commit suicide.
When Jacob was about to gut the Horn Fish, he suddenly turned around, and his eyes widen slightly because he saw a silhouette, a few miles away from the black ship, moving in his direction.
'There shouldn't be any ship in this barren part of star ocean which leads toward the common plains, or they're going in the common plains. Well, they could be from the common plains for all I know.
'I have no confirmation except that map that I'm on the rare plains. Let's see if they're coming my way and friendly.' Jacob thought before he headed back to gear up.
He won't take chances within the star sea; this black ship was even more precious, so the moment he senses hostility from them and they were not as strong as him, he'll act with no hesitation.
Soon, the silhouette become clearer as it was coming in the black ship's direction
Jacob stood on top of the cabin's roof, dressed in black armor and a long jacket covering his equipment. He also wore his black mask and cover his silver hair with a hood.
He squinted his eyes when he saw the ship headed his way; it was a medium size battle sail ship colored navy blue, and the sails were painted gray.
When his eyes fell on the top where a black flag was swaying with two crossed golden swords' emblem, a glint of astonishment shone in his eyes.
Because he had seen that emblem in the books related to the rare plains.
Unlike the Common Plains, which were separated by regions and many powers ruled different territories, the Rare Plains were completely different.
The Rare Plains weren't completely conquered and explored.
The explored area was known as Rare Freedom Plains. Just this explored area alone was ten times bigger than the entire common plains combined!
The Rare Freedom Plains were occupied and divided between four powers.
The Golden Sword Country, the Light Nation, the Iron Sierras, and the Ice Nation.
Also, unlike the common plains, the racial factor in Rare Freedom Plains was almost non-exist, and the only factor that mattered was power and potential!
The information on the evolution system of species was deep, and as long as one showed a considerable amount of potential, they could join the ranks of these four powers and gain access to unimaginable resources to which the public had no access.
The three hegemonies' influence was also not to be underestimated in rare freedom plains because they all still stand above these four local powers but stay out of any local conflicts.
As long as no one provoked them, they won't interfere in other business.
On the contrary, the role of the three hegemonies was even more essential for the four powers of Rare Freedom Plains because they all rely on them to nurture experts and gain knowledge, and conquered more lands.
One could say the three hegemonies were like experts making factories for these four powers.
The Golden Sword Contrary was closest to the Eastern Star Ocean of the Rare Freedom Plains.
So, seeing the flag of Golden Sword Country naturally startled Jacob as well, giving him the confirmation he needed that he was indeed in the eastern star ocean.
But this also raises the same question: why doesn't he encounter the famous despair mist? Where did it go?
He would never believe that he was lucky or someone cleared it for him just so he could pass safely.
Nevertheless, since he was already on the rare plains, he no longer cared and focused on the matter at hand.
He has to remain cautious about how he deals with Golden Sword Contrary. He didn't want to fall out with local power before he could even reach the destination.
This place was far more advanced than the common plains, almost at the level of modern civilization, and experts of peak rare rank ruled this place.
Even with Jacob's current strength, he was far from invincible in the rare plains like the common plains, so he didn't want any trouble for himself.
Then there was still the Killer Skull Society, which might be searching for him like mad dogs.
When the ship of Golden Sword Country was only tens of meters away from Jacob's black ship, a deep voice rang.
"Stranger, show your Identity Poof, permit of this Ship, and Sailing License. If you have none, then surrender peacefully and accept the detention according to the laws of Golden Sword Country!"
Thereafter, the ship cannons were instantly locked on Jacob's black ship. If Jacob resisted they would really shoot him down.
Just with these words and movements, Jacob knew this wouldn't end peacefully. He didn't have any of those things they demanded.
He wondered if he had taken a route that was under surveillance by following the other map instead of the society's map. It was very possible!
Jacob also saw a man in a navy blue uniform walking at the edge of the deck and looked at Jacob coldly.
This man was three-meter tall with a burly build and long blond hair. There were strange black symbols tattooed carved on his entire bronze skin face.
'A Bigot Barbarian!'
