Ocean Master

Blink!

Sebastian's eyes flashed open to see the familiar greenish environment of the ocean water. His body ached a bit, he felt like he just slept through lifetimes, and was just waking up.

As soon as his eyes cleared up, then all the memories of what happened came back flooding into his head.

As everything settled down, he immediately looked at the corner beside the entrance of the trench where he was currently hidden. There, he saw a few bones and a cracked snail shell lying around.

Seeing this brought all the memories of his most recent battle back to him. Since his arrival into this magical world, there was no doubt that this was his fiercest battle and the one where he was closest to death.

He still felt some lingering fear when he thought back on the painful sensation of the Giant Barracuda's teeth digging and shredding his flesh apart, it was an experience that he was reluctant to face again.

The first thing that he did after calming down was to carefully analyze his discoveries from this battle, he learned a lot of rules from the battle.

The first rule was to survey the surroundings carefully before engaging in any battle, and it was better for the battles to end fast least an oriole stalking in the darkness pounces out for an easy kill.

The less commotion made in his hunts, the better for him.

His only target was the Tuna, but due to a series of coincidences, he had to fight both a cone snail and a Giant Barracuda.

He shuddered thinking of how close to death he was a few hours ago.

The second rule was that he should forget most of his human characteristics. After battling with the sea creatures here dozens of times, and with the addition of the Barracuda, he came to this conclusion.

Before, though he already embraced his identity as a shark, he still thought like a human. In this world, bite for bite, tooth for tooth was the rule.

He was still moving around with the superiority mentality of a human before, but now, he learned the hard way to forfeit it. Though he was strong with his great white shark bloodline and his unique skill, he was still just level 9 after his recent breakthroughs.

A level 21 Giant Barracuda was that strong already, what if he encountered a same-leveled enemy shark. He shuddered at the thought.

And this brought him to another question, was he the only special sea creature that had a unique skill? What if other sea creatures had unique skills?

This again made him become more prudent about this world, the dangers out there were too much for the current him. He already resolved to be aggressive to fill his gluttonous stomach, but he had to also add a brain like that of Einstein.

This combination was his only way to dominate in his world.

Also, after being stimulated by the bite from the Giant Barracuda fish, he noticed that he entered a state where he was purely driven by his instincts.

He guessed that this was an instinct given to him by his bloodline.

After thinking of all these, he finally relaxed a bit. "In the end, to survive in this world before even starting my ambition of an all-round dissecting, I still need to hunt and raise my level first".

"I wonder how much stronger I will be after the level 10 evolution. I guess, by then, I'll be able to dissect anyway that I want".

He now really felt anticipation for his next evolution, he wanted to get stronger faster. Despite the dangers in the previous battle, he was glad as he gained significantly from it.

After leveling up to his current level, he already noticed that his leveling speed was reducing. To get from his current level 9 to 10, his intuition told him that it would probably take more than he expected.

After organizing his thoughts, he finally started thinking of his skills that leveled up in the previous battle. For the current version of his electroreceptor skill, he could only call it marvelous.

He could now manipulate it by concentrating to see greater distances in a single direction. Due to the encounter of the Giant Barracuda, this was invaluable to him.

He checked his health points and his status. After confirming that everything was back to full and that the cone snail's acid was already purged, he silently marveled at the miraculous effects of eating prey.

Because this was his first time killing a Barracuda fish, the system unveiled its basic profile to him. He didn't go through it as he already knew the features of a Barracuda fish from his previous life.

It was when he encountered Dragons that he would really need the basic profile compiled by the system, he couldn't wait to dissect them apart.

"Now, it's time to hunt more prey".

Shifting his medium-sized body for a great white shark up while gently flicking his tail fin, he hovered from his hiding point under the entrance of the trench.

He wanted to go back out, but he suddenly looked back down after seeing a flash of blue light erupt beneath him. He looked down but couldn't see anything because of the curved pathway of the trench.

He suddenly remembered something. "I saw eels here the other time".

"Perhaps, I can feast here to level up for the time being, if there are enough of them down here. But I have to remember the rule, always remain alert and cautious".

With his interest piqued already, he gently swam down while repeatedly reminding himself to remain cautious. As he swam down, his advanced electroreceptor skill was already blasting off in waves.

Through all these precautions, the overall layout of the trench finally started presenting itself before him. In a moment, he was stunned as this place suddenly seemed like an abyssal plain.

An abyssal plain was just an underwater plain on the deep ocean floor.

Following the gentle slope down, he discovered another thing. The greenish glow of the sea was subsiding a bit, he guessed that this meant a night in Oceania.

Feeling enlightened by this while hoping to encounter slumbering eels, he maneuvered his way down. The walls of the slope slowly turned rocky, eliminating the presence of the few seaweeds originally growing on it.

Going down a few meters, Sebastian suddenly stiffened as he sighted something. He tried to halt all vibrations from his body that affected the surrounding water, his glittering eyes watched the young prey alertly.

It was a glowing blue young eel.
