Pirate Kingship

Although a Third Order [Adventurer] of the Wilderness Sequence, he’s been plagued by bad luck all his life.

If anyone dares to be his boss, there’s no need for backstabbing; they’ll mysteriously die on their own.

Many times, it wasn’t just the boss; teammates would die batch by batch, ship by ship, while he remained untouched.

Before coming of age, he was just an ordinary fisherman, and his first boss was a fish tyrant managing the market.

All the misfortune started when the fish tyrant said to him, "Raymond, I want to eat fish."

Raymond eagerly offered the Spotted Que Fish he had painstakingly caught, but that night the boss choked on a fishbone and died.

Yet Raymond himself survived through merchant ships, pirate ships, to warships, from the York Party, to the Royalist Party, up to the Lancaster Party, always thriving.

His current task record shows 100% personal survival rate; 10% survival rate for bosses and teammates.

He went through so many "adventures" without dying, naturally rising quickly in rank, becoming a Third Order [Adventurer] at a young age.

His core ability [Adaptive Evolution]: as long as he survives disaster, fortune will follow, enabling them to evolve through trials, ultimately becoming both physically and mentally non-human.

It’s one of the few professions that allows humans to break through racial limits, tracing back to their ancestors due to their bloodline.

Gaining eagle’s eyes, leopard’s speed, bear’s strength...

Looking at him now, he’s clearly no longer a mere human.

Indeed, this is the case.

Unlike many who play themselves to death with [Nemesis of Sin], the [Unlucky Ghost] easily affects others, even making Byron shiver.

He likes to be others’ "Heartfelt Trouble," but doesn’t want to have one himself.

Talents are rare, so kicking him out isn’t easy.

So, the Legendary Prophet [Boneless One] Vayna and Mother-in-law Vanessa were invited to "consult."

The conclusion was that his nickname ability’s effect limit was: "Direct superiors and related organizations of the same species, the stronger the commonality the greater the damage, the higher the Order the smaller the impact."

With this limitation, things are much simpler.

Byron, the [Father of Monsters], immediately kicked him out of humanity.

Using his authority [Bloodline River], genetics, and related knowledge like "Blood Source Pilgrimage," he custom-crafted a new species for him—a Shape-shifter.

He also taught him the Bloodthirsty Cult’s Black Sorcery to aid his side gig, allowing him to perfectly transform into any other species with a single drop of their blood.

Letting this disaster fully wreak havoc on others.

Just like the guest role of [Tree of Life] now.

Additionally, Raymond had been advised by Vanessa, the Calamity Witch, to condense his misfortune into a spell: "Old bro, please take care."

Alternatively translated as: "Big boss, show me the way."

It can be used once a day, and its effect is more domineering than "Fellow Daoist, please stay."

Whoever at the same or lower Order dares to be his "old bro" will face instant bad luck: struck by lightning during rain, choked while drinking, gun misfiring... impossible not to happen.

Even one Order higher, bad luck is only a matter of time.

Having him clean up those "seeds" was a perfect fit.

"Raymond, when Noah’s Ark caused trouble but was blocked by Your Majesty, the ’seeds’ drifting to our place from the North Sea weren’t many.

Once this task is completed, have you thought about which department to join?"

On the ship, besides the [Legendary Victim] Raymond, was Byron’s cousin, [Sea Magician] Saranthe, executing the tasks with him.

After advancing to a Fourth Order Mythical Creature, he had the ability to suppress any newly sprouted [Tree of Life], ensuring absolute success.

Raymond gave a simple smile:

"Hehe, Great Mage, I consulted the King’s Right Hand [Blood Red Whiskey] Lord Alfred and learned a trick from him.

He said the Extraordinary World isn’t just fights, but the human touch. Do as he says, and you’ll definitely go to whichever department you wish."

This unlucky ghost seemed simple but had already learned and applied well.

The fact that he could call Saranthe, who only mastered the "Flash Technique," a Great Mage without blushing, clearly shows he grasped the subtleties.

Saranthe, indeed, was pleased but suddenly recalled something, scanning him strangely:

"You wouldn’t be a guinea pig for his dish testing, would you?"

After Alfred advanced to Fourth Order, he gained new ability [Master Chef].

With materials from various Demon Monsters and even contaminated Kin, he could create unique effect dishes, which could be eaten by himself or others, granting temporary or permanent benefits to the diners.

He could also create exclusive recipes and cuisines, gaining Legendary points; the wider the spread, the quicker the power grows.

Recently, the "Ke Family Dishes" series he "created" has become famous within the Empire.

Some were successful, others failed, and the failed "Ke Family Dishes" often had side effects, growing fur or tentacles was mild.

Some ended up with extra kidneys, turning into human-shaped Teddy bears, and some had their right hand become "[Five Misses]"—unspeakably odd...

Alfred doubles as the head chef of [The Golden Deer]; new dishes can’t just be given to the captain, and fellow colleagues became the dish-testing guinea pigs.
