2024-10-17 22:44:05"The hell!? Why am I underwater?"
[System reboot] [Loading...] [I'm your ocean survival system, you are my servant] [Feed me points, and I'll show you the secrets of survival with the aid of body upgrades] "Oh for the love of..." ... [Your first task = Locate and eat any small species of the crustacea ignatius family, juveniles are preferable… less steamy.] This message in his head was very confusing. That aside, he, Timothy Lake, a human, didn't have the slightest clue, regarding how he suddenly appeared underwater! It was nothing less than absurd. He completely ignored what the system said. In fact he wasn't even sure what the 'system' was, and thought that craze was creeping in. He could hear the system but not see it, which was a rather radiant hint of auditory hallucination, if not other things! "Who the hell are you? How did I get here?" Tim exclaimed, as his panic blossomed. [I'm your inbuilt, ocean survival system. You, Timothy, are the new owner of this newborn, stingray body.] It answered. But, it didn’t stop there either. [As for me, I have knowledge equal to one world and beyond it, I can help any oceanic creature survive this cruel, magical environment.] "Damn this thing has a lot to say." Tim thought briefly and privately, as the system's disruptive voice annoyed him shitless. [I heard that,] It said. "Oh so you can read my thoughts too, perfect." Tim added, he felt embarrassed, especially since the system sounded like a lady, though her tone was computerized. [Yes,] It followed along. Silence stretched after that point, for a whole minute, as Tim was given a lot to think about. The system eventually broke the silence, in a way that was a bit annoying; Basically, she started spamming some information. [Available system points = 10] [Purchase options = 1] Tim would rather not interact with the system, but she was persuasive. Since he was almost convinced that what he was experiencing was a dream, he saw no harm in playing along for a while. Dreams must end eventually, even nightmares, and this felt like a nightmare! He said, "Let's hear that option out, I guess." There was no harm to that, as everything about this truly felt like a dream. He even tried to swim fast, as fast as he could, but that effort was dimmed by slow and pale results. Just like in other nightmares, he moved really slowly! [Option number one, and the only option right now = A brochure, explaining the details of your new body, and species in depth.] [Price = 3 system points] "Kind of expensive for information that is solely about 'my' new body." The little stingray continued complaining, though he knew that he was becoming a bit annoying. He knew that he wouldn't be here for long, so he gave in completely. There was no point in being all grumpy, he started playing nice-er. He sighed and said, "Whatever, okay. I'm purchasing the first, and only option." [Purchase confirmed,] The system said. [Loading…] [Species = Bluespotted Ribbon-tail Ray] [Family = Dasyatidae extingius] [Gender = Male] [Age = 29 days] [Length = 15 centimeters] [Width = 7 centimeters] [Weight = 0.3 kilograms] As a closing sentence, she [Your purchase is complete, and as a result, 3 system points have been consumed. Due to this subtraction, only 7 points remain in your total sum.] Tim ignored all that talk about points, and said. "Sounds like I'm very small." He expected an answer, but the system wasn't very responsive. Instead, it continued spamming information that may only be interesting to her and her alone. She said, [Because of your most recent purchase, three more purchase options have been unlocked.] [Option number one = Learn your current location] [Price = 14 system points] "A geo-tagger?" Tim recalled this modern, human phrase. Afterwards, he joked. "Yeah, fish definitely need that. Nothing like a good old GPS to get you across the Pacific Ocean." He started being more and more sarcastic, because he was getting nervous. Everything that was happening didn't feel like a dream anymore, so he had to cope somehow. The system, however, didn't respond to such sarcasm whatsoever. She continued going on with her business, by spamming more of her information. She said, [Option number two = View the chart of your current capabilities. This one is essential to have and memorize, therefore it's priced cheaply, 3 system points.] "That sounds interesting." Tim thought, he felt intrigued. "I want to buy that one." [Purchase confirmed,] The system said. It was nice to hear her respond instantly for once. Considering the circumstances, he'd love to be distracted right now rather than face the problem at hand. Somehow he was a fish, and he wasn't quite ready to accept that. [Loading…] Afterwards, the system described. [Your capabilities will be listed shortly. Levels state just how strong a specific capability of yours is, with level zero being the lowest.] [Hunting, jaws, and natural camouflage = Level two] [Barb, and barb venom = Level zero] [Bodily strength, and speed = Level one] [Sight, scent and overall senses = Level one] [Intelligence of either, four forms = Low] [Mana = Pathetically low] [Magical powers = None] [Sex appeal = Level zero] "Wow, pretty low. Looks like anything can kill me, though." Tim pointed out, and tried to ignore the devastating fact that his 'sex appeal' was down to level zero. [Everything can kill you, yes.] She confirmed. Afterwards she said, [Your purchase is complete, and 3 system points have been consumed in exchange. Now, only 4 system points remain in your total sum.] Tim was given a lot to think about. This world started feeling more and more real, and the salt water hinted at it so, but that wave of realization wasn't the worst part. If everything was real, and as it appeared, it was, then he was given the worst cards to play with. He was just a tiny, weak, stingray! He didn't know how his soul ended up in this body, but it would be embarrassing to die in this same body, as much as it was embarrassing to own it and live in it. In the meantime, the system didn't care about his feelings whatsoever, and continued making her sales pitch. She said, [Option number three = Upgrade Hunting, jaws, and natural camouflage to level three. This option is priced at 28 points.] "Kind of expensive for a pair of jaws, don't you think?" Tim asked. Now he didn’t have any idea of how these points were attained, but they seemed like a lot. Part of him considered suicide, rather than to go through with everything a fish had to do on a daily, but the rest of him was curious. Sure he was also terrified, but if this world truly had magic within it, then it was worth exploring! The system decided to respond to his question for once. In fact, she even wanted to help him become a bit more practical. She said, [Let me show you some statistics, free of charge. The following consists of your current state of overall health and well-being.] [Health bar = 87/100 points] [Hunger bar = 3/15] [Sleep, and stamina bar = 11/35] [Mana = 0/0] At last, she sealed the deal off by adding. [You need to be a good hunter in order to survive. Now you can't afford 'purchase option number three' for the time being, but you can still hunt. As I said before, find a crab that you can kill, you need it and you definitely need the points that it can give you in exchange, once you kill it. Good luck, Timothy Lake.]

Chapter 374 - How many feet did Gussy grow?
Gustav continued sacrificing his levels for the sake of upgrading his body. He wanted to be bigger, point being that he wanted to be a bigger giant, or anything else that he shapeshifted into, so he came to the shores of the reef fully ready to sacrifice seven levels of his mana quality!For the time being, he didn’t care much about his mana quality, since he had won it recently without suffering through painful, slow upgrades all that much, but furthermore, he knew that he was amongst the weakest in his group in terms of mana quality. It was difficult to value something that was third to last in terms of friendly ranks, so he sacrificed seven of his levels without thinking about it twice!Now, he shared the last-place with Lena, who had barely put in a couple of months into reaching the first level within the fifth realm of mana. He wasn’t worried about this, because he could get his levels back by simply poking at one of the many mana roots that Timothy had stashed within the needle
Chapter 373 - Gustav's ambitions
Out of every member in the team, Gustav may be the most ambitious one. Unlike Timothy, he didn’t have a system to carve a portion of his path to greatness, and he definitely didn’t have a great IQ to support greater means, or greater goals, but that didn’t stop him. What he lacked in intelligence and everything else, he made up with ambition, a common urge for power, and this great need to kill the monsters that he had a deep-rooted hate towards!Due to recent events, Gustav despised dragons, and he had every reason to despise them. This deep-rooted hate was the source of his ambition!While the rest of the team carried out their work, or research inside or outside the city, he flew back to the coral reef. He felt great comfort when he was in the proximity of the reef, and furthermore, he found comfort in the fact that hundreds of goblins could protect him if anything went wrong. It was the best place to carry out experiments, and since he could shapeshift into greater species of eagl
Chapter 372 - Pure lava
Garry was led to the burrow of the groundhog he befriended. The burrow was close by, several meters away, and it didn’t quite look appealing from the outside, which was expected, as the burrow only had a couple of holes that they considered entrances.Well, one entrance was a fake one. It led nowhere, and it was used to keep predators busy, such as foxes.The other entrance led to the deep interior of the burrow, and quite frankly, Garry was astounded when he squeezed into it. This was no mere home with weak, dirt walls to hold it up, no, as everything within the burrow was enhanced by a six-inch layer of carved stone! The stone walls within the burrow weren’t placed randomly. They weren’t bumpy, but rather, they were smooth, and had these rows of symbolic words carved into it with a language that he could not understand. Nevertheless, he was impressed.“Woa…” Garry sighed, as he looked at the walls around him.“Why are you loafing about here?” The guiding groundhog asked. “This is o
Chapter 371 - AAAAA!!
As of recently, Garry was at the pinnacle of his life! He became an Arch Mage at a fairly young age, young for a demonic basilisk, at least, and ever since he got to this rank, he had eased up on a lot of his beliefs or principles, and was just enjoying his life.In hindsight, he didn’t care much to progress into the following rank, which was that of an Arch Magus. He figured that such a title was years away from him, if not decades, so he simply didn't think about it much. He wasn't worried that he stumbled into another mana bracket as soon as got to the third level of the seventh realm of mana. He was okay with it.Initially, one of the main reasons he chose to stay in this universe rather than going back to the universe of hell, was because he wanted to help Timothy, his former summoning master, progress. He felt indebted to help Timothy, because he had saved him from deadly wounds back in those old ruins, so he chose to stay.However, he couldn’t help Timothy progress all that muc
Chapter 370 - Dark Moon
“Freedom… it outweighs everything in the world, be it mana or gold.” She thought, as she breathed in the crisp air at the crack of dawn.Fortana was up in the sky, along with her dragon, and she was now about forty-kilometers away from the City of Fik. She decided to leave the city for a short while, for two reasons.Firstly, she and her team were stuck in the city for an undetermined amount of time. Timothy said that they’d be stuck in the City of Fik for around a month, but she figured that they’d be stuck there for several months, and she could not remain stationary for that long. She spent most of her life stuck in the Dungeons of the Old, and now that she had gotten a taste for freedom, she could simply not remain in one place for long, otherwise she would either sink into depression, or suffer through wave after wave of anxiety. She didn’t like it.The second reason why she left the city was primarily related to her self-absorbed need to improve her arsenal. Most Expert Mages ha
Chapter 369 - Bored
The eight-hundred Expert Mages that joined the frontline were quite capable. They were very useful on the count that Timothy and his team spent a few hours nudging them in the right direction, and once they got a hang of what to do, there was no stopping them!Ten more shapeshifted Ancient Sea Orcs had tried to attack the city before sunset, and the Expert Mages, otherwise known as the city's soldiers, had killed them all! They killed them without losing a single man or woman in the exchange of attacks.They discovered that the giant orcs had this odd ability to toss exploding fireballs around almost randomly, but they worked around it. Ten mages shot fireballs at the giants to overwhelm them, essentially blind them, and then twenty mages snuck below the line of fire, and froze the giants solid! This method worked like a charm, and Timothy had helped them develop it, so the mages didn't lose arms and legs during their many fights.The dark giants helped them. Fortana insisted for the
