Ocean Master

A pair of eyes blinked open in the unending darkness, confusion shining from the depths as the owner looked around sluggishly.

The owner felt like his brain was heavy, it felt dull like pounded yam and mashed tofu. It was a freakish comparison, but it was apt for his situation. He felt as if his pituitary gland was put on the burning fire.

His brain being heavy could have been shrugged off as it was a daily occurrence to him, but why the hell was his eyes feeling hazy too?

"Where the f*ck am I?"

"What in the name of all anatomists is happening to me?" He cursed but was surprised that no sound came out from his mouth.

Ignoring that which was his second love, ignoring things, he tried to organize his thoughts through gritted teeth. "I thought I was tending to my shark pool. After that, what happened again?"

"What happened…?"

"Crunch!"

He shuddered on the thought as his sluggish brain quickly became active.

"I succeeded, I bred a new variant from the great white and whale shark family. But the bite… Damn, I was bitten by my own pet shark?"

"Did I survive, am I in the hospital?"

He could not see himself yet, just darkness but he imagined himself placing his right hand to his chin in contemplation. Then a voice sounded, spooking the shit out of him.

[Hello, Sebastian!]

"What in the name of all anatomists is that?" He freaked out.

"Who are you? A witch? Come out, none of your petty voodoo magic works on me! I already transcended all that".

[Hello, Sebastian!]

This time, he was really spooked as his voice lowered. "Please, I'm just a petty human with no hope in life. My flesh is not sweet, try that of Dave, I promise you that his blood is sweeter than wine".

[You are dead!]

"…"

[Due to your innovative discoveries and experiments that made you the most ingenious young anatomist on earth, the 7 great seas had mercy on you and you have been reborn into another world.]

[Welcome to Oceania!]

"…"

It took about a minute but when Sebastian finally answered, it left the voice in his head speechless for minutes.

"Haha, you think you can fool me right? What year is it old fool?"

"You think it's the mid-80s, you think I'm so foolish to fall for such petty tricks? Get a girlfriend bro".

"Or is this even a movie trick, when did I become a movie star? Ok, jokes aside, take me out or I call the police".

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

Sebastian kept quiet for a moment after seeing this. Ignoring the abnormal fact of how this was shown directly inside his head, his mental eyes instead gleamed like stars on seeing them.

"Holy…Shit!"

"That's some impressive stuff you have there man. You really know your anatomy, a big thump up to you for that. Receive my respect man".

"So, where's the shark? You know I love sharks, unveil the beast!"

[Reanimation complete.]

Before Sebastian could question what was happening, he suddenly felt a prick in his brain. The darkness surrounding him disappeared all of a sudden, and he saw himself inside…

"Water???"

He felt like pissing his pants immediately when his eyes finally saw light. He was inside water, and not a swimming pool, he was freaking under either a sea or an ocean by the density of the water.

He noticed something immediately, he was without an oxygen mask yet he could breathe underwater. What voodoo was that?

Another thing that made him even more freaked out was that he could not feel his legs nor his hands. When he tried to raise them, he felt something smooth gently hit the ocean water.

Shifting his unfamiliar head slightly to the side, he saw a shadow reflection that made all his blood run cold.

His eyes widened in horror, the realization of everything coming to hit him.

"I am a shark?"

Pissing his pants was an understatement for the current state of his mind, he almost burst-pissed his pee-pee to bits and pieces on coming to this realization.

A few minutes later, he was able to reorganize his brain after thinking deeply and hard about his life.

When he first came to the realization, he felt horrified but it did not impact him much again after thinking about it for a few more minutes.

What more could be expected?

He was an anatomist back on earth. His colleagues called him the crazy dissector because of his obsession to study the internal structure of more and more sea creatures, dissecting animals was his first love.

When such a crazy anatomist got reborn in a possible fantasy world called Oceania as the greatest of all sharks, the great white, where he could dissect as many animals as he wanted, what did they expect. The beast was unleashed.

After coming to terms with it, he finally started noticing a few more changes, such as his eyesight.

As an anatomist, he didn't exactly have bad eyesight but now all he could call his eyesight was a beast. Studies back on earth revealed that sharks have 10 times sharper eyesight than humans, and he could not agree more now.

He was now in a location under the ocean that was surrounded by rocks. They jutted out of the ground like thick knives, forming a large cave network here.

The water was dark blue in color which faintly revealed how deep he was underwater, he guessed that it was probably a few hundred meters under.

After going through this, he went back to his status again.

Going through the status again, he had to confess that it was badass. Since all his time as an anatomist, he had never seen the stats of a shark being calculated and tabulated so clearly.

He felt a little bad knowing that he only had 2 power points, he hoped that they amounted to something though.

"But if this is really a fantasy world, why don't I have an enchanted weapon like the Mjolnir?"

He grumbled. "Is this favoritism?"

As he fantasized about the legendary things he could achieve with his stat points, he suddenly saw a shadow flash past above him. Before seeing it, he already sensed the electromagnetic waves.

Great white sharks, like all other sharks, have an extra sense given by the ampullae of Lorenzini which enables them to detect the electromagnetic field emitted by the movement of living animals.

At close range, this god-like ability allows them to locate even immobile animals by detecting their heartbeat.

He was not familiar with such new senses yet so it felt weird, but he admitted that it was a super useful ability.

"I guess this is the electroreceptor ability". Even as he mumbled this to himself, he was already retreating deeper inside the cave. He just saw something that almost made him piss his pants again.

His movements were clumsy but practical.

Thud! Thud!

At the top of the cave where rocks jutted out to form a thick network, a huge tiger shark was currently staring down at Sebastian, who would now be the baby great white shark.

"Umm…, system, whatever you are, I need some help here".

"Where's my shark mom, is she so irresponsible to leave her kid stranded in the wild?"

[First mission unlocked: Survive the Tiger Shark's attack!]

[Mission reward: 1 Skill point, Random Experience point, and information about the system.]

"Shit! Help me, I need no information shit".

Screaming anxiously, Sebastian got no response and the stripped shark fellow was now getting closer.

Thud!

The water rippled beside him as the huge tiger shark shook its body, bashing at the rocks to break them apart and force its way through to its prey.

This was when Sebastian finally knew how little and cute he was, though it didn't matter at this moment. He was about 1.2 meters long and compared to the tiger shark who was towering at an outrageous 10 meters, he was just prey.

Thud!

"Oh boy!"
