Ocean Master

Sebastian still wanted to refute the outrageous claims of the system, but he immediately stopped as he felt his abdominal muscles churn while making some weird but familiar sounds.

"I need food". He declared.

From the way things currently were, he guessed that his journey in this world would definitely not be too smooth. Even if at such a low level, he had such an appetite, that meant the more he evolved, the more he would eat.

"I'll really become a glutton then". He lampooned.

Because of this, he had no choice but to cancel his plans of taking things slow and steady. Now, he needed to act as the predator and great hunter that he was, he couldn't sully the dignity of great white sharks.

Still carefully, he started swimming farther away from the outwards slope of the cave where he's spent the first few days of his life.

He swam downwards a bit closer to the ocean bed, his belly was now rubbing the sea plants and weed as he swam across. He did this to hide his body and his movements a bit, this was an essential skill of any hunter.

The blueish-green glow of this sea illuminated the surroundings, making sure that he saw as far as possible through his sharp eyes.

Like a stalking predator, he didn't move too fast nor did he move too slow. His tail fin just kept flipping left and right, pushing the water gently as he moved slowly with his eyes trained to the front constantly.

His electroreceptors also worked as a compliment to his eyes, the invisible electromagnetic lines kept on pulsing and spreading to the surroundings, presenting any nearby scene directly to his brain.

He didn't even have to move far, just about a minute after he was forced to move out, he saw his first prey. A Bluefin Tuna, just like the one that he killed when he was still low-leveled.

He didn't rush out immediately. Confident that he had sharper eyesight than the Tuna, he slowly approached with no intentions to rush things.

The distance between them was slowly being closed. When the distance lessened to just a few meters between them, he finally made his move.

[You have activated skill: Dash.]

The water moved past his face at an extremely fast speed as soon as he dashed out from his position. Compared to before, with his improved attributes, he was now countless times faster.

The Bluefin Tuna suddenly turned having detected the vibrations in the water, but it was too late.

[You have activated skill: Battering ram.]

[You have activated skill: Shredding bite.]

Boom!

He first collided with the huge Tuna's body, he heard sounds like a few screws being loosened in the Tuna's body but he didn't give a damn. Taking advantage of the fact that it was stunned from the collision, he viciously bit down.

Crunch!

His first bite ripped a significant amount of flesh from the Tuna's body, this seemed to finally anger the fellow as the familiar light of magic suddenly erupted around its body.

The Tuna rapidly turned, faced its opponent, and opened its mouth wide. The particles of sand around immediately began converging, in seconds the particles transformed into solid rock before being thrown at Sebastian.

Green magic power suddenly erupted from his body at this moment. Hauling his huge sharky body forward, he smashed through the rock and arrived before his opponent again.

With his magic power surrounding and empowering his teeth, he bit down hard onto the Tuna's hide again.

The Tuna let out a soft yell of pain but Sebastian did not let up, he bit down again, and its magic shield finally popped into pieces. As soon as his teeth dug in completely, he immediately started shaking his body left and right.

Just like chain saws, his sharp teeth started shredding the opponent to pieces. The Tuna struggled some more, it flapped its tailfin repeatedly in vain, a few seconds later it finally went limp.

[You have killed a Bluefin Tuna- Level 13: You have gained experience.]

[You have gained 3 Skill points and 5 Adaptation points.]

Seeing how easily he killed this fellow that caused him problems the first time that they met, Sebastian felt smug a bit. Adding a certain swagger to his swim, he went closer to taste the juicy flesh of his prey.

Whoosh!

As soon as he heard the sound, he felt something sting his skin. Through his electroreceptor skill, he concentrated and was shocked to see black blood suddenly flowing from his stomach.

[You have been hit by a cone snail's harpoon: You have been poisoned.]

[You will receive 3 damage every second until you purge the poison.]

"The heck?"

Alert all of a sudden, Sebastian looked down and searched his surrounding for any opponent but he could not detect any. As he looked around, he suddenly heard the same whooshing sound again.

The harpoon stung him again, he couldn't dodge but he finally located the sneaky cone snail's hideout. It cleverly dug itself a bit under the ocean bed, blending its color with the surroundings.

Having detected it, Sebastian did not hesitate to attack.

[You have activated skill: Magic Teeth.]

Pu! Pu! Pu! Clang!

3 deadly teeth were shot out in quick succession but Sebastian was stunned as a small magic shield shimmered to life around the small snail, easily deflecting all the damage away.

Feeling his dignity sullied a bit by that, Sebastian immediately abandoned his food and personally decided to finish this nuisance.

Activating his dash skill again, the water bubbled and stirred behind him as he rushed closer to the cowardly snail.

[Your Dash skill has leveled up to level 4.]

Feeling even more encouraged by this, he rapidly closed the distance. As if it felt the danger, the cone snail's shell suddenly jerked a bit and a purple mist surrounded it in a bid to deter its attacker.

Sebastian keenly noticed that this purple mist was poison but he didn't stop, after getting close enough he bit down without hesitation. Powered by his green magic power, his teeth immediately broke through the defense of the snail.

[Your electroreceptor skill has leveled up to level 5: Automatically switching to advanced version of the electroreceptor skill.]

[Switch to Advanced Electroreceptor completed.]

As soon as the system announced this, Sebastian felt the change in his perception immediately. He could see farther, and clearer with the skill now.

Almost immediately, he detected something else with his advanced skill. "Is that, another opponent?"

He tried to activate his dash skill and dodge but the opponent moved too fast for him, even before his tail fin could shake a row of dagger-sharp teeth paired with magic power dug into his back with frightening force.

Boom!
