The group watched as the other ship fell into the endless sky, still burning from James' previous antics. Corin looked over to see Janica's eyes swell up, and leaned as far as possible over the railing to try and spot James, but to no avail.

  "Don't tell me he's still on there!" Janica said, tears filling up her eyes as she struggled to spot James anywhere from a distance.

  Soon the other groups on the ship came out and looked at the burning ship falling below theirs, not knowing about James burning it down.

  "WE HAVE TO GO AFTER IT!" Janica screamed at the captain.

  "Sorry miss, we can't go after your brother, the ship is falling faster than ours can reach it. Your brother is most likely dead alongside the ship."

  Janica stared in silence at the captain, before rushing off into her group's area and burst into tears in a corner, with Corin chasing after her.

  As James fell into the black circle, he felt that weird teleporting sensation again before throwing up in a dank cave. The cave had a weird chicken flavor in the air, and there was a torch leaning from one of the walls.

  "Where the fuck am I?" As James said that, a man walked through straight through one of the walls like the wall was never there.

  "Mate," The man said. "You can't just commit arson on another ship to take it down, you could've just killed the captain and then dispatch the members!"

  The man was a muscular man with dark brown skin, and had a well trimmed beard and short haircut. The man wore a T-shirt labeled, "I got this T-shirt made in another world, how fun right?"

  "Who are you?" James asked, holding back laughter after looking at his shirt.

  "I'm Derek, I'm a universe-hopper too. I'm a part of the adventurers guild, but they don't know I'm from Earth like you. I'm not sure how they don't know since I wear this shirt a lot, which would probably be solid proof I'm from Earth, but oh well. I found out about you and your sister from an assignment from the guild, so I accepted it and boarded the ship, not realizing that you would attempt to burn the damn thing down. Welp, I finally got to meet the other universe-hopper, time to get you back to your sister safely. I'll keep an eye out for you just to be safe, and I'll try to make sure the adventurers guild doesn't find you as easily."

  "Wow that was a lot of yapping," James said. "Anyway now that I know you're a good guy, WHERE THE FUCK ARE WE???"

  "Oh yea, we're inside my house ability. When the god transported me into this world, he gave me the ability to transport me and five other people in a magical house that exists somewhere, and he also gave me the ability to transport people where they want to go after they're inside my house. What an odd ability right? Think of the Sky Guild for a second, and I'll transport you there. Any questions?"

  "Yea, why is your house a dank ass ca-" James was cut off by his sudden teleport to the pier of the Sky Guild, where he threw up into a bucket in front of him.

  "You'll get used to teleporting someday." The man who greeted them from before said. "How the hell are you here though, I thought all sections were on adventures today?"

  The ship sailed back to the Sky Guild pier, where all groups got off and rushed back to their sections. Janica was still teary eyed walking back, when she spotted James looking queasy nearby. She rushed towards him and gave him a tight hug, making his face paler as she embraced him.

  "I THOUGHT YOU DIED!" Janica yelled, a smile forming on her face. She let go of him, making him have a sigh of relief. "How are you not dead? The ship you were on fell while being on fire!"

  "Yea some guy named Derek saved me." James said. "I was in a dank ass cave, then the pier, and then bam you're here, how neat."

  "Don't go jumping into danger like that, everyone thought you died!"

  "Yea that's what Derek said, man are you Derek in disguise?"

  "Who's Derek?"

  When the group got back to their section, they looked over James, making sure he had no injuries, if he was a fake, if he was okay, etc.

  "Everyone was worried about you, you know." Corin said to James after everyone had gone back to their bunks. "I was comforting Janica on the way back here, she really cares about you."

  "Wait you mean everyone was worried?" James asked. "Even Jasper? He seems like a dick who wouldn't care if his pug got kicked in the face."

  "I don't know what a pug is, but yes, he was worried too. He might not show it, but he cares about everyone here."

  "Huh, I would've never had guessed. Anyway I looted so much shit from the members that were on that ship, like look at this!"

  James opened his inventory and slammed a bag full of gold coins on the table.

  "Tomorrow I'm showing Janica this, and then we'll go on another shopping spree, good idea right?"

  The next morning, the group was eating breakfast in the cafeteria.

  "Man, today's a day off?" James complained. "That stinks, I want to shoot things!"

  "You nearly died yesterday and you want to go on another adventure?" Zewei asked.

  "No duh, I got a huge load from yesterday!" James plopped the bag of coins on the middle of the table for the group to see.

  "HOLY SHIT JAMES WHAT THE HELL?"

  "James, you know you're like really rich now right?" Wade said, looking up from his bread with seeds on it.

  "Hell yea I do!" James said enthusiastically. "Any of you guys wanna go shopping later?"
