DIE… Pwease~?
Ah, an unfamiliar ceiling...'
Nope, that's water.
*glub*
'Hm, an unfamiliar water...'
*glub*
Yep, I woke up, again annnddd... I'm lost. Not that I knew where I was before buuuuut... Yeah no, I'm straight up lost, I woke up floating underneath the water, and I took a peak up and-
*water for miles noises*
Yeah there's water for miles, I could tell by the sound it made. By the way, it sounded like this...
*Glub*
Nope, can't do it... Shame, guess you'll never know what water for miles sounds like...
Well anyway, I'm in the middle of the water now, either a sea or an ocean but it doesn't really matter.
Well, it probably does but I can't tell you the difference other than size so...
'Hey, big man, is there a difference between the ocean and sea, other than size?'
[OCEANS have a wide range of power when it comes to monsters, while SEAS have a more narrow range for specific levels! OCEANS are considered more dangerous while SEAS vary from place to place.]
'Yeah uh-huh, wait monsters? There are monsters? Of course, there's m-'
[YES there are MONSTERS! MONSTERS in this world inhabit the WATER! There are also things like dungeons and whatnot! THE water is THE most UNKNOWN but also the most ADVENTURED place in this WORLD! I'd recommend being wary of ADVENTURERS!]
'Hah? So little me, got lucky enough to be reborn as a fish, in a world where monsters roam the sea? What's next, are you going to say that I'm a monster?'
[YES!]
'.... So... What level am I? And what's the level of the area I'm in?'
[YOU are level 0 on your FIRST species! The OCEAN that you are in is the OCEAN if BEGINNINGS! This OCEAN ranges from LEVEL 0-100!]
'Ah, this is bad... Tell me more about my levels, or at least something to make this less scary and depressing...'
[LEVELS in this world range from 0-???! There have been recorded sightings of monsters AND people in the level range of the THOUSANDS! For YOUR first 4 evolutions, not including your current form, you will only be able to go up in 5 LEVEL increments! When you reach your 5th evolution you will be level 25! Your 5th evolution will also be when you gain your HUMANOID form!]
'Hm... And how hard will these levels be to obtain these levels?'
[Well, for veteran adventures it took them a year or two to reach this level, as people in this world have significantly longer life spans... But for you, who'll be underwater 24/7, with no safety at all... IT should be RELATIVELY fast!]
'Hngh, my fish brain hurt, so I just kill shit right?'
Before big man can finish, I look around, spotting a fish about the length of a school desk, which easily towers me. I stare at it, before coming up with a plan.
With a slight twist of my body, I jet forward thanks to hydro motion, drifting right in front of the fish, guiding myself by using hydro motion.
As I see the fish up close, I find its appearance somewhat strange. The fish is slimmer towards that back with a rather large front and a round head. On its large head, is a red dot, which when the fish spots me starts to glow.
'Hm... Judging by it's appearance and actions it seems to be a magical fish... Excellent!'
As I near the fish with a fast pace, the water around me starts to feel warmer, and then I notice that the water in front of the fish is boiling. The boiling water is rotating in front of the fish in a vortex-like shape, a small ball forming in the middle.
'Heh, as if...'
Just as it went to fire the boiling ball of water, I do a barrel roll diagonally down and to the left while still moving forward. As I maneuver myself around the fish, I end facing skyward, underneath the large fish.
Already with a hyper beam charging in my mouth, using just enough energy to not knock me out.
I open my mouth, revealing my charging beam, and then fire it before it splits into three separate beams! Each of them heading for one of its weak-looking fins, two towards its medial(?) fins, and one towards its tail fin.
The fish, who seemingly just now noticed my disappearance, not being able to see me through the boiling water vortex!
But before the fish can even react, it's already too late! The beams hit the target, causing three blue and pink explosions to occur on impact.
Now, with bated breath, I wait to if it plan succeeds or... I die? My plan was quiet simple really, my beam attack, my main attack as of now, is rather weak, only being able to make a small dent in some concrete at full blast. But of course I don't need it to blast through concrete, I need it to blast through fish skills, yet I doubt it could do even that effectively enough, so instead I aimed for the significantly weaker fins of the fish, hoping to immobilize it than kill it afterwards.
And of course, believing in myself wholeheartedly-
'Im going to die because of this *sigh* I don't wanna be a fish...'
I witness as the energy slowly fades from the fish body, revealing a mindless loser!
The once before, stupid looking big headed fish, is now missing his tail and side fins, sitting their like an idiot and then.... Everything around it starts to boil...
'Shit what the f-'
So, like the civilized person I am, I try to come up with a solution. My hyper beam is too weak to kill it and I'm nearly out of energy... And I can't get near it to do anything so... Ah... This could've been easier...
With a little spin, I flick my tail out as hard as I can, creating a disturbance on the water which...
*FSSHHHHHH*
The smash disturbance turns into a razor sharp edge, travelling the distance between me and the fish quickly before passing straight through it.
With a flash of light as it passes through the fishs 'neck' nothing seems to happen before...
*Slide*
The head starts to slide off of it's body, it's blood dispersing into the water.
Of course hydro motion, the ability that requires no energy from me, is my most dangerous skill as of now, how genius of me.
[DING, you killed a LVL25 BOILFISH. LVL cap reached]
'Ha? Level 25 your head, there's no way that thing was level 25!'
[Well it was relatively easy for you, but other hyper fish don't have the control, nor the brains to use the strategy you used. As well as the fact that you disabled the boil fish without giving it the chance to use any other attacks, plus hydro motion is a cheat skill.]
'Ah, so that's it...'
And without any more questions, I started swimming down towards the seafloor, hoping to find a relatively safe place to stay for the time being.
And luckily, after searching the seafloor for a while, I eventually found a suitable location to stay at.
It was a rather sizable crack within an inconspicuous rock on the floor, and there were no signs of other inhabitants, pointed out by big man.
Settling in, I prepare myself, before asking big man the million-dollar question.
'Alright big man! Are we all set to evolve?'
[YEAH!
EVOLUTION options!
SMALL HYPERFISH
A smaller version of the hyperfish that exchanges vitality and size for speed and a slight increase over magic
++Speed ++Magic =Vitality =Endurance =Strength
HYPERFISH
Regular hyperfish
++Vitality +Magic +Endurance =Speed =Strength
BABY GIGAFISH
Baby gigafish is a baby version of the gigafish. The gigafish are the sister fish of the Hyperfish, using giga energy. Giga energy is an extremely defensive and stable energy, unlike the Hyper energys destructive unstable ness.
++Vitality ++Strength ++Endurance -Speed -Magic.]
(A/N: just a quick note here. The evolutions are quite simple. + means an increase, = means no change, and - means decrease. Each evolution has 4 increases in a stat. If you take away from one stat then what you take away can be added to another stat, the gigafish would be an example. Anything that doesn't change is set as no change.
All of the evolutions will follow this except the last one, pretty simple to understand but I might've explained it like shit sooooo, goodluck~ :))
Reading them, it's not really much of a hard choice for me. Gigafish is definitely out, definitely not my style to NOT use magic, especially the destructive kind. Hyperfish is good, but I'd prefer the higher speed and magic over the extra vitality and endurance.
So, choosing small hyperfish it is. Selecting my choice was rather simple, as I start to be enveloped as the same energy as before, I hope this happens every time, it's rath..er n....ice...
*...gluuub...*
And, with a fading club, I begin my evolution.
--- --- ---
Ne ne, it's me, the author, ;), and I want to say a few things, again. First of all, oops for the evolution in one kill? I don't plan on making the fish arc TOO short, so don't expect it again... Unph, yep nothing else...
AH, just a little warning, when MC does get a humanoid body, there's a chance I might write some depraved shit, though it really depends on whether I feel like it or not.
Hmhm, that's all, sayonara n-.
