Are you high?
Wiping the remaining sleepiness off of his eyes, Niccoli dragged his half-asleep body out of bed.
“Monami?”
He mumbled under his breath when he noticed that his cat was nowhere to be seen and against his better judgment, he went outside looking for her; still wearing his pajamas.
Searching for any sign of his pet, it did not take that long before Niccoli reached the deck, and a blast of wind with a salty aftertaste was all it takes to wake the young prince completely.
“Good morning pal.”
David greeted him with a friendly smile first thing in the morning. Meanwhile, as soon as the man’s near-perfect side profile registered

REBIRTH: This time I will be a Witch! Hekacy
Alec Romanov was a great sailor until he fell in love with the goddess Hekacy. Surprisingly, the word "heka" in the Egyptian language is also both the word for "magic" and the name of the god of magic and medicine, Heka. Hekacy was the chief goddess presiding over magic and spells. Not only was she the one responsible for bestowing the first men the secret knowledge of using the art of witchcraft, she was also said to be the mother of necromancy. Not only that, but she holds a certain domain in the underworld as well and it was she who would appoint her lover the sacred task of ferrying souls who died at sea to the worlds beyond using the famed, Phantom Ship. Rumor has it that Hekacy made Alec the captain of an exemplary ship that was not only capable of traversing all parts of the water but could also cover distances and cross dimensions with an inexplicable speed like no other; thanks to its ability to glide both in the air and water. To prove his love to her, Alec Romanov agreed t
REBIRTH: This time I will be a Witch! The trial has started
A day goes by pretty quickly and before they could even realize it, another day had already ended. But the next day, something unexpected happened.“Steve, tell me I am not the only one seeing them.”There was excitement at the edge of his voice when Allan prompted his friend to confirm to him that he was not just simply seeing things. The other party, on the other hand, prodded him on the rib and responded,“You saw them right, Allan. I believe it’s the Shamrock!”Steve beamed just equally as excited as the other.“Guys, you got to see this!”Allan beckoned to everyone. Curious, they all followed the direction where his finger was pointing, and when they saw what lies ahead, they were all visibly thrilled.“It definitely got to be Shamrock. There is no doubt about that.”Nike exclaimed while everyone else rejoiced for the first step in their success was just within their reach.Just like how it was described in the book, the Shamrock was comprised of a set of boulders facing each o
REBIRTH: This time I will be a Witch! Capsized
With the combined attack of the strong wind and waves, their ship rocked violently akin to a leaf shaking from its branch, as the torrential rain and wind gang up on it, hitting it teasingly from left and right.Two forces of nature, both held great power at each of their own very rights joined hands and were determined to not give them a rest. That was why everyone was holding for their dear life to whatever they could grab onto, out of fear that a single misstep would cause them to inadvertently end up getting tossed into the raging water below.“Have your wands ready. I don’t think our ship would hold for long..”Stating the obvious, David announced their grim situation to the group as if Audrey and her friends could not make this assessment by the
REBIRTH: This time I will be a Witch! Brush with death
Correspondingly, it was also only at this point that they realized they were still missing two of their companions.“I have not seen David and Nike since our ship capsized!”Allan’s words pulled them all back their senses. Even Niccoli could not believe himself when it dawned on him that Nike was nowhere to be seen too.‘How could I worry about a girl and put her first over my brother’s safety?’His odd behavior left him questioning his priority.Meanwhile, just as when the group was harboring a collective thought and was thinking to themselves, ‘Surely this is not the end of it yet, yes?’; another disaster incarnate caught up with them. It was almost guaranteed that by the end of their quest, Audrey and the squad could sure jot down a hell of a list from this series of unfortunate events.All this while, the group of survivors have not been made aware of the presence awaiting them in the shadows of the deep blue sea.But what else could they expect? Their life could never be allowed
REBIRTH: This time I will be a Witch! Leviathan
“We had a brief encounter with the sea monster and we tried to defeat it as soon as we arrived here.”David wore a grim expression as he described how they ran into the colossal squid.“But it was too powerful to be subdued. Even with our combined strength, we could hardly fend off its attacks.”He further explained.As it turned out, both Nike and David had been at the monster’s lair long before the group arrived and this would explain why Niccoli and the others did not catch sight of either of the gentlemen as soon as the ship keeled over. Nike revealed how they were dragged ahead of them.“It was like we fall into its trap. As soon as we jumped into the water, he took us immediately. He was just waiting for the right moment to snatch us all from our sunken ship.Leviathan was the name given to all kinds of terrors of the deep. In a sense, it was more like the generalization of all the sea monsters you could ever think of. But given that they saw their monster taking the form of ten
REBIRTH: This time I will be a Witch! Help is on the way
David at that time was left with a thought in mind, ‘No one would be able to claim the first spot should he claim that he was the second luckiest man on Earth.’ He believed he just experienced the greatest shock of his life! Not only did he outlive a Leviathan that had been terrorizing the sailors for ages; but he was also there to witness its demise firsthand. If this was not an epic story worthy to be passed down to the daughters of his daughters as well as to those who would come after them too, he did not know what else could. At first, taking part in the raid of the monster’s lair, David was surprised to know that he was not in any way afraid. Nevertheless, he was not exactly hopeful either and he figured that his indifference was probably the result of his acceptance. He already recognized it as a fact that his fate was sealed and death was inevitable. ‘At least, I would not die without fighting.’ Like chanting a mantra, that was what David would repeatedly tell himself for
REBIRTH: This time I will be a Witch! No free ride
“I think that the thing that we should all be worried about next was how can we leave here without a ship?”Niccoli pointed out and everyone froze when this eventually dawned on them. Indeed, this question left the group baffled. How on Earth were they supposed to get back to the surface and continue going to the Isle of De Los if they did not have any ships?It was not like it was humanly possible for them to swim all the way to the surface. Yes, they might not have managed to hold their breath earlier and all the way down there to the underwater cave. However, it was mostly thanks to the monster’s speed of dragging them and a little help from their mana.However, given that they already depleted most of their mana reserve, it was already a big question, if the remaining mana would be enough to sustain them until they reached the surface.They were reluctant to put that theory to the test because if ever they miscalculated, they would pay with their lives.But good for them because j
REBIRTH: This time I will be a Witch! Bundle of David's nerves
David at that time was left with a thought in mind, ‘No one would be able to claim the first spot should he claim that he was the second luckiest man on Earth.’ It was not every day that one could get a chance to come face to face with a Leviathan, let alone say slain it. Some may even go on with their entire life time without ever having an opportunity to see one. So it was only a normal reaction for David, who, unlike Audrey’s group, never had the same bag of incredible experiences in his profile. Thus, he still could not bring himself to believe what just happened. This was probably the greatest shock of his life!Not only did he outlive a Leviathan that had been terrorizing the sailors for ages; an enigma that he only heard from stories before. But he was also there to witness its demise firsthand and what was even more shocking was that he was part of the group who had killed it! If this was not an epic story worthy to be passed down to the daughters of his daughters as well as
