Epic of Summoner: Supreme Summoner System in the Apocalypse

-----

It was another boring day for Xijun, she moved to the beach to fish some dinner and then go back to her little hut to sleep.

She had a simple life despite the world where she lived. But even in such a simple life, there were a lot of dangers…

After all, she lived in a dangerous dog eat dog world, where the strongest devoured the weak mercilessly, and where those that ruled were those with the strongest might.

She had been living near the beach since she had memory of herself, since her grandfather taught her how to fish, how to forage around the beach shore, and how to hide herself from those that came from the mainland.

She usually hid in her hut inside a cave after having her stomach filled. Her grandfather always told her and taught her to be thankful of what the world offers to her, and to always be thankful to every little life she takes, even the life of mere fishes.

She once more went to fish to the shore, her chocolate-skinned body shone with glossy light as the sunbathed her with its light. The sky was blue and beautiful, and there wasn't a single cloud in the sky.

The silver-haired girl looked into the sea, as her golden eyes were bored. She wore a simple white dress and recalled her grandfather's words back then…

"Life in this world is filled with wonders, but there are limits that we mortals have. We cannot go beyond the horizon, or we'll simply get killed… We are weak, but I am thankful that I am at least strong enough to bring my mouth something to eat and have the time to enjoy the beautiful world around us… Xijun, always make sure to appreciate every little thing, as everything in life is precious and holds value on itself."

She smiled faintly as her dreams of one day becoming something bigger and better were still within her heart. Despite her grandfather being fine with the life of a fisher, she always wanted deeper down. Her life was just starting after all, and she clearly wanted to experience all sorts of things.

In a few more days, a recruitment event would take place in the Heaven Pavilion City within this large continent, she had heard the rumors from passerby merchants, and wanted to see if she could be talented enough to become a member of the many Sects that will attend that day looking for new talents to recruit.

She had hopes to develop her natural abilities some more in such Sects, she had yet to use Essence in anything much than fishing, but well, she was pretty good at it, she inherited her grandfather's fishing abilities after all.

Indeed, fishing abilities!

"Oh, there's something coming up!"

SPLASH!

A massive creature suddenly jumped out of the water, struggling to not be dragged out of the oceanic depths! It was a massive, blue-scaled dragon-like fish!

"GROOAR!"

"Come on, don't be stubborn, you're becoming my dinner!"

The massive dragon fish struggled, as its incredibly big body, surpassing 4 meters of height, struggled to not be caught by the girl's strong fishing rod inherited by her grandfather, the golden fishing rod emanated a strong essence from within…!

"Nngh…!"

Xijun gritted her teeth as her muscles strengthened slightly, letting her finally exert enough strength to pull out this massive catch!

SPLASH!

BOOM!

The massive dragon fell over the ground, struggling to breath as it was suffocating with the air of the surface…

She took a knife, which shone brightly with silvery light, and she stabbed the dragon in the neck, cutting off its entire head!

SLASH!

A river of blood came out, the body struggled a bit more, but the beast was already dead.

"Ahh, this one looks fresh. Let's see…"

She began to butcher the entire monster with ease, as if she had done it countless times, taking out the large armor-like scales with a simple knife, and then the skin, to reveal the tender red meat beneath. After that, she sliced open the stomach and threw all the innards out.

She cut the slices of meat into large chunks, and stuck them to a stick, which she began to roast in a nearby fire.

Meanwhile, she smiled playfully as she looked at the stomach sack, she always had fun seeing what kind of weird things these fishes ate.

She used her knife to slice open the stomach, as many disgusting things came out, such as half-digested fish carcasses, bones, algae, and pieces of drifting wood.

"Oh, a lot of disgusting things, uegh…"

And within them, she found something odd, a figure beneath all the trash and half-digested corpses.

"Hm?!"

It was… an human body!

"Did this fish swallowed a person? I-Is it dead?"

She quickly dragged the man outside the stomach sack, as she began to wash its body with the ocean water.

She glanced at the pale-white man, with short black hair, he seemed to be deeply asleep.

"So odd… Is he… alive or not? He doesn't seem to be rotting." She said, as she began to push her hands into the man's chest, giving him some CPR.

"Come on!"

"Come back!"

"You can do it!"

BUMP!

Suddenly, the man's eyes opened wide, as Xijun noticed that were red-shot.

"Unngh… Ugeegh…!"

The man suddenly began to throw up right in front of the girl, as he gasped for air.

"You're alive! I can't believe it! Someone actually survived getting swallowed by a fish…" said the girl with surprise.

"Ungh… My head… Ahh… W-What's going on? W-Where am I?"

The man looked around confusedly, as he noticed the vast and calm ocean waves, the clear blue sky, the fire behind him, and then a massive creature at that side.

His eyes opened wide open once more as he saw that creature that had swallowed him.

He remembered it did because he suddenly had landed into this world's oceans as a strange meatball, and then was swallowed…

"My body is back to normal…"

"Hello? How can you be so unpolite to your savior?"

"Ah…"
