Ocean Master

Chapter 309 - Starting Anew.



Back in the barren wasteland, 1 month after the volcanic eruption.

This originally extreme but prosperous region was now a mere shadow of its former self. Ravaged by the aftereffects of the volcanic eruption, this region was devoid of its usual boisterousness and life.

Silence and stillness were the predominant states now.

Even the water hardly rippled as there were no external forces to act on it. The few waves and ripples were caused by disturbances that traveled from extremely far distances through the waves in the water.

The ocean volcano that once served as a huge ecosystem for different organisms, and a decent battleground for predators was no more.

Crack! Crack!

In this silent wasteland, a cluster of rocks suddenly started shaking and vibrating like an external force was acting on them from underneath the seabed as cracks rapidly spread through their frames.

Boom!

One last violent shake did it as the rocks were sent flying disorderly. This violent push created a hole among the cluster of rocks as a figure drenched in gray soil dug himself out of the soil and rock.

This figure's breath was rapid though his gills already took care of the basic requirements to survive underwater as he coughed violently at intervals.

It took a few minutes before the figure's internal body regulation finally stabilized. From the shape of the figure, this was a variant human.

As soon as this variant human regained his sense of self, he pushed his long black hair to the side before heaving a huge sigh of relief.

"Phew! I survived intact, what an achievement!"

This figure stretched his hands wide in an embracing gesture at the world as he let out a silent cry of victory. After doing this, he finally bent to clean the dirt that was attached to his body.

About 5 minutes later, the naked variant human stood upright again.

"I feel a little nauseous and irritable, itchy too but I'm still good".

"Woah, it's been long man, it feels good standing on 2 legs again".

"Also, it feels comfortable but weird to stand naked, or should I say swim?"

After confirming that there was no danger at the moment, Sebastian took his time to admire his new body thoroughly before he went to his system.

"System, show me my status".

---------------------------------

After looking through his system status, a wide grin spread across Sebastian's face. He felt a strong urge to degrade into cackling like the antagonist of a horror movie but he forced himself to stop.

Yes, this body of his was a variant human, specifically an Atlantian.

Compared to his normal system status that was shown when he checked in his Megalodon body, there were a lot of changes here as the system's meticulousness cleared off every skill that was incompatible with his current body.

Against all his fears, what excited him the most was that his basic stat points remained the same, he was still the powerful purple tier predator.

Even as an Atlantian now, he still saw himself as a dangerous predator.

As for the reason why he dug himself from here of all places, it was a long but exciting story that just recalling it gave him goosebumps.

It all started after he created his first living doppelganger.

To Sebastian's shock, creating a living doppelganger was more complicated than he thought. Instead of like the normal doppelgangers where he just needed to give any vague input and his system would complete the rest, creating living doppelgangers entailed much more.

In theory, he was creating another body for himself so he needed to be extremely meticulous. From the size of his eyes, skin color, body muscles, height, and a lot of other parameters, Sebastian had to manually decide.

Due to the tense state then, he was unable to spend as much time that he would have liked to customize the perfect variant human body but he still got an acceptable result.

This body was the result of his efforts. With long black hair, sharp nose and eyes, fairly tall height, smooth facial features, and a fairly muscular body, he embodied the perfect male Atlantian.

He blushed every single time that he looked at his new body from a detached perspective which was weird as hell.

Putting that aside, his appearance here was not a coincidence.

Once he succeeded in creating his first living doppelganger, he left the variant human body behind and came out with his shark body.

He planned to give his all with his shark body, but if his all was not enough and he died, he would only lose a living doppelganger, suffer for some months and continue his adventure as an Atlantian.

Surprisingly, he received outside help and things went smoother than he expected. His 2 living doppelgangers survived intact and this was all because of the intervention of the Rabbit Monarch.

Till now, he still didn't know why the Rabbit Monarch came to help him but his intuition told him that this was also related to the myth realm which he already vowed to get information about if he survived.

Even though his main body survived, he remained still inside his makeshift grave as he was pretty sure of follow-up investigations.

He was not wrong, in his grave, he heard sounds of warships arriving in the barren wasteland and sweeping it with scanners for any clues. 

This continued for the past 1 month until they finally left, this was what gave him the confidence to come out. Another reason for him coming out was because his main Megalodon body finally recovered and woke up from its coma.

After this past 1 month, he already understood more about the mysteries of his new unique skill and all he could attribute it with was fascinating!

The living doppelganger ability of his new unique skill established a form of parasitism or mutualism between his 2 different bodies where his main Megalodon body gained the most advantage over time as the 2 bodies grew.

The ability created a phenomenon where his soul seemed to have been torn into 2 parts before being dumped into the 2 different bodies.

Sebastian had only explored the tip of the wonders of this living doppelganger ability, but what he was sure of was that this ability was meant to increase his strength and not to harm him.

Now that his 2 bodies were fine and ready to continue his exploration of this world, he could no longer curb his excitement since the advantage of having 2 bodies increased his choice by a lot.

He had no intentions of bringing his 2 bodies together. Oceania was too big for him to explore with one body, his 2nd body was a godsent opportunity and he would make use of it to its fullest potential.

Sebastian felt mixed emotions when he looked back at everything. After the slow grind, after the plethora of emotions, after all the sufferings in this region, he was about to leave to start anew.

He could not curb his excitement at all.

"Oceania here I come!"

He was ready to conquer and spread his mark in this world!
