Great Voyage: My Summoned Creatures Can Level Up While Idle

"Well…"

Amidst the swaying and shaking, Roya gradually regained consciousness.

Opening my heavy eyelids, I was greeted by the dimly lit cabin environment.

There was no natural light, only lamplight shining through the cracks, and overhead were low, blackened wooden beams covered with blackened cobwebs.

He could feel himself being tossed about by the waves; it was a ship sailing.

Beneath them were rough, damp wooden planks, and all around were iron fences.

The ground was covered with black, granular rat droppings. Wooden crates were piled up outside the cell, from which rustling sounds and rat cries could be heard from time to time.

With each breath, a salty, rotten smell of seafood hit him, almost making him vomit.

"Where is this place?" Roya asked, looking confused. He remembered that he was on vacation at home and planned to play the newly launched sailing game during the summer vacation.

Just then, a wave of unfamiliar memories washed over him. After a long while, he sighed, "I've actually time-traveled."

The world he traveled to was covered by the sea, with no complete continents, only islands.

Besides humans, there are also other races such as orcs, dwarves, and elves.

Magic potions, wonders, treasures, sea monsters, and magical beasts are no longer just fantasies.

This was a magnificent Age of Exploration, with merchant ships, treasure hunts, and explorers constantly emerging, creating one legend after another.

His previous incarnation was a pirate named Roya. They looked almost identical, except that the former was younger and had tanned skin.

Originally a fisherman, he became a magical beast wielder on the path to transcendence after contracting a magical beast, the Ironfeathered Crow.

He then joined a small pirate crew of over fifty people, the Red Pearl Pirate Crew, becoming the crew's second mate, and was wanted by the human kingdom's navy for three hundred copper coins.

Unfortunately, their good fortune didn't last long. Before the pirate crew could grow stronger, the Red Pearl Pirates were ambushed by the human kingdom's navy during a robbery a few days earlier, and the captain, first mate, and gunner were all captured.

Only he, the master of the monster hiding on the Red Pearl, along with the boatswain who sensed something was wrong and some pirates who escaped back to the ship, managed to escape the calamity.

At that time, there were about 27 or 28 people left on the ship. Since the captain had been lost, it was natural to elect a new captain.

Those qualified to compete for the captaincy were the former second mate and the boatswain.

The original Ironfeathered Raven had barely revealed its ambition to compete for the captainship when it was ambushed and killed by the boatswain.

The contracted magical beast died, and its predecessor suffered a backlash, unable to resist. Then, the pirates, eager to prove themselves as the new captain, grabbed it by the hair and threw it into the ship's bottom cell.

"One-Eyed Johnny..." Just thinking about that bald, muscular man filled Roya with murderous intent.

This was the original owner's obsession; the other party killed Iron Feather Crow, ending the original owner's life, and there was an irreconcilable blood feud between them.

Although he was imprisoned in a cell at the bottom of the ship, he was not without a chance for revenge.

As a time traveler, he naturally possesses cheat codes.

Roya closed his eyes, and instead of darkness, a panel appeared before him.

There are three icons above.

[Summoned Items]

[Instance]

Temporary warehouse

Luo Ya discovered that as long as his thoughts landed on the icon, a new panel would appear.

At that moment, Roya's thoughts drifted to the [Summoned Item] icon.

Two blank grid panels appeared before his eyes.

At that moment, a passage of text came to mind:

[Your contracted monster, the Ironfeathered Raven, has died, but its death has awakened another potential in you. You have been promoted from Monster Apprentice to Summoner Apprentice.]

You have been given one chance to choose a summoned creature. Please select one of the following monsters as your initial companion.

As the text disappeared, three purple cards appeared in Roja's consciousness.

However, when he saw his initial partner clearly, his expression immediately turned blank.

The first card depicts a humanoid skeleton holding a broken bone knife, its body riddled with cracks.

The second card depicts a small, green humanoid creature with a hooked nose, pointed ears, and a lewd smile on its face.

The third card features a round, blue jelly-like body with a pair of adorable big eyes.

Skeletons, Goblins, and Slimes are the three most common beginner monsters in a fantasy world.

With a helpless expression, Roya could only choose the tallest of the three beginner monsters, opting for the skeleton soldier.

After all, the skeleton soldier has a bone knife in its hand, which makes it seem much more useful than the sleazy goblins and cute slimes, and it doesn't need to be fed.

The card glowed and transformed into a skeleton soldier, appearing in the first empty square.

[Skeleton Soldier (Level 1)] [Blank]

Roya established a connection with the skeleton soldier, and he instinctively knew how to summon the skeleton soldier into the real world.

At the same time, the blue, agile flames within the skeleton soldiers' eye sockets fluctuated violently, as if responding to Roya.

After observing the skeleton soldiers for a while without any further prompts, Roya finally exited the [Summoned Items] panel.

The temporary storage is empty; it doesn't contain any tools that would allow him to break out of prison.

Roya's thoughts fell on the [duplicate].

A list panel appears with only one option:

[Small Dungeon: Challenge the Red Pearl Pirate Crew]

Challenge Level: 1-10

[Potential rewards upon completion: Sequence Potions, Rare Items, Mysterious Treasures, Alchemy Items, Enchanted Equipment, Arcane Arts, Combat Techniques, Rare Materials]

[Maximum number of projected summoned creatures: 2]

[Enter the instance?]

Currently, Roya only has one skeleton soldier as a summon, so he chooses to enter the dungeon.

[Instance generated successfully. Summoned creature: Skeleton Soldier (Level 1)]

The darkness and writing gradually faded away.

Suddenly, Roya heard the rustling of the sea breeze through the trees, the chirping of insects, and the cries of seagulls.

He found himself on a deserted island with a jungle.

Looking up, there was blue sky and white clouds, with more than a dozen seagulls flying by.

Looking down, one sees a wasteland overgrown with weeds.

This is a small, deserted island. Looking into the distance, across the beach, you can see a wooden two-masted sailboat moored in the near sea.

The sailboat had furled its sails, and a black flag was hoisted from the highest mast.

That's a pirate flag.

At a glance, Roya recognized the pirate ship as the Red Pearl.

Ships of the Red Pearl Pirates.

"Click-clack".

A harsh, screeching sound rang in my ears.

Luo Ya realized that he hadn't moved, but his perspective had started to shift.

Only then did he realize that it was the skeleton soldiers that were moving, and that his perspective was following the skeleton soldiers, observing his surroundings as if he were a spirit behind them.

The seemingly dull and foolish skeleton soldiers are naturally Roya's summoned creatures.

There are enemies on the deserted island.

They were pirates dressed in medieval attire, wearing linen trousers with worn-out cuffs and stained with various oils, carrying sailor's daggers as they roamed the jungle.

The dungeon world felt to Roya like a game world.

The skeleton soldiers had all moved ten meters in front of the two pirates; anyone who wasn't blind or deaf should be able to spot them.

But the two pirates continued to wander aimlessly, oblivious to their own surroundings.

Roya could see the names, ranks, and red health bars above the heads of the two pirates.

[Curved Blade Pirate, Level 1, 100% Health]

As for the moment the skeleton soldier got within five meters of the pirate, the pirate, who was lost in thought, immediately turned his head to look.

Roya saw a red exclamation mark appear above their heads, then grinned maliciously and launched an attack on the skeleton soldiers.
