Ocean Master

After coming to that very important realization, Sebastian suddenly felt a lot more confident about himself and his chances of surviving here.

He guessed that he was kind of lucky being reborn as a great white shark, he's read in novels of people being reborn as a stick. The heck! He just couldn't fathom how awful they felt if it was real.

Probably because his stamina was already drained, he couldn't continue his exploration journey into the deeper paths of the tunnel immediately.

And after his previous battle with the Tuna where he got injured, he slept but it was nowhere enough to substitute for how exhausted he was. He guessed that it was probably better for him to sleep well now.

Besides, it's not like big predators like the Viper could force their way inside here, they were too big. He felt like laughing evilly, he would enjoy his young shark form while it still lasts.

Finding a cluster of blue corals who had the same dark blue color as his skin, he slept on top of them to act as a natural camouflage for himself.

Forget about sleeping with one eye open, Shark's did not have such weird inclinations. From Sebastian's knowledge, when a Shark is in its deep rest period, half its brain is active and both of its eyes are always open.

They didn't have eyelids, so what more could be expected?

It felt weird to him, but he had to get used to it, this was going to be his new lifestyle for a period of time that he did not know.

Perhaps, he would one day wake up and see that everything was a dream, but now he had to follow the rules of Sharks.

With eyes wide open and a brain filled with imaginations, slowly but surely, he gradually slipped into the sweet embrace of sleep.

"I almost forgot how this felt".

…

Blink!

Probably some hours later, but when Sebastian woke up the first thing that he noticed was the dimmer illumination from the blueish-green source lighting up the cave, making it seem darker all of a sudden.

He guessed that this was nighttime in Oceania, it was creepy but beautiful.

He still didn't move to shake himself from the sleep though, apart from the lighting he noticed another thing. Perhaps its disturbance was what even woke him up in the first place.

"That small purple fish with many colors again!"

The fish that led to his battle between the Tuna was here again, and it was swimming lazily above his head while trashing the water about.

Was his camouflage so effective, or was this fish just so dumb? Well, he didn't care. In his new shark body, his number one rule was to never reject any food that presents itself before him.

Crank!

His face went white.

He felt his teeth vibrate, numbing him to his very bones like he just received a voltage of electricity flowing through his body.

He was shocked, looking closer he saw that same protective magic shield that was on the Tuna flare up to protect this small fish too. He suddenly felt inadequate.

"Small Purple fish, even you too?"

"I cannot be outdone, I'm a shark for shit's sake".

Crunch!

He bit again and this time it went through, the poor fish was divided into 2 just from one bite. It couldn't materialize the shield again, perhaps its stamina got exhausted too or whatever powered it's magic.

Without hesitation, he bit and quickly finished the meat left of it.

[You have killed a Blue Tang fish- Level 8.]

[You have gained 2 Adaptation points.]

[You have eaten the meat of a new fish species: You have unlocked basic profile information of the Blue Tang fish.]

[You have gained an additional 1 Adaptation point for eating a new species of fish.]

Ignoring whatever basic information that he didn't care about, he wondered why he didn't get any skill point this time. Perhaps, it was because the fight was too easy.

Well, it was too damn easy so he was guilty this time.

From everything that he observed, he also guessed another fact. From the Primordial snake, after killing it, he only received 1 Adaptation point and the additional point for killing the first of its species.

And then going back to the Tuna and this Blue Tang now, he received 5 and 2 Adaptation points each for killing them.

From what the system revealed to him, he guessed that going from level 5 to level 6 was a huge milestone that would evolve aquatic organisms in Oceania by a large amount as they would have access to magic and a lot of other things then.

So, killing level 6 organisms gave him 2 Adaptation points, level 5 and below organisms only gave him 1 Adaptation point, while level 11 organisms gave him 5 Adaptation points.

For the Skill points, he guessed that he received them after the system calculated the frequency at which he used the skills in any battle before defeating his opponent.

For the Blue Tang, he clearly didn't use much of them so getting no skill point as a reward was justifiable.

And for the reason why a level 8 Blue Tang fish was so much weaker than a level 3 him, he guessed that it was because of the difference in species.

There was no way a Blue Tang had a chance against a great white shark back on Earth, perhaps only in Oceania would such a scene be seen but he's not seen any yet.

He guessed that this was the reason why the tiger shark didn't use a magic ability on him then, it just didn't have access to it yet. It was its starting point after birth that made it so big and strong, but it was probably still below level 6.

Having made all these realizations, Sebastian felt more appreciative of the species that he was reborn as.

Feeling better about himself, he propelled himself up again. He looked left and right to detect if any opponent was nearby, he also did not fail to activate his electroreceptor skill to double-check.

He nodded to himself; the coast was clear.

[You have activated skill: Swim.]

[You have activated skill: Dash.]

He erupted with speed from his starting position, flew like a mini-submarine forward as he quickly disappeared into the depths of the tunnel expanse.

Operation Shark domination officially began.
