Ocean Master

Blink!

Sebastian felt like holding his head right now as it was aching badly. He felt like drums were being beaten loudly on his head, it was weird. Everywhere around him was covered by darkness, it was a little spooky.

He like he just fell into a reincarnation cycle that was going on for thousands of lifetimes, and he was just waking up.

"Is this the Samsara bullshit that\'s promoted in those cultivation novels? But I hardly gained any increase in power, what a scam".

As he grumbled, he keenly noticed the darkness around him suddenly begin to fade. His eyes widened, relief shining in them as he was already getting fed up with the darkness all about.

When he finally saw light, the first thing that he noticed was that he didn\'t return to the Leroy clan lair. This was the same region though, from the color induced by the magic essence, he recognized that he was still in the Green Mist region.

The only problem was that he could not feel his body, he was like a spirit phasing in and out of existence like a phantom. He tried waving his tail fin but he felt no nerve feedback.

"I\'m just here as a spectator?"

After doing a few more experiments, he came to this conclusion as he could touch nothing here, nor could he hear. He was just like a spectator, he was not inside this place, he was only watching it.

His vision suddenly flashed, and everything changed.

He was shocked as the vacant expanse of water before him suddenly became populated by sea creatures, and not just any sea creatures, sharks! Great white sharks like him filled the whole expanse all of a sudden.

He didn\'t know why he felt so, but seeing the bustling community of sharks, his intuition suddenly told him that this was his home. This was his family.

He didn\'t know how the hell he got here or how he even located it, but he was pretty sure that his intuition was right.

From his elevated position above the shark community below, he could see a lot. The community looked more like a city, he could not see its ends as sharks went on with various activities back and forth.

Ocean flowers and vegetation dominated most of the territory, but he thought he saw some marvels of technology too.

He could see dome-shaped platforms which seemed like the building settlement of the sharks. He could see metals built into various ingenious shapes, but he could not see further as his vision was strangely fuzzy.

The details were so many, making him feel like he just ascended into heaven. The only annoying thing was his fuzzy vision, it made his visual effect of the sight a lot less beautiful.

He tried to look closer but everything suddenly became a blur.

He let out a curse involuntarily on seeing that. Suppressing his frustration, he decided to ignore the more fascinating details among the community and decided to focus on the sharks themselves.

They were all like him, the only difference was their size. They were far bigger and more deadly-looking than he was, and their speed was the real deal as they swam across the ocean, leaving afterimages behind.

Sebastian\'s mouth was left open widely; he was sincerely amazed.

"Hiss…"

He suddenly yelped in shock as an enormous shark suddenly broke out from a hidden location, none of the smaller ones stirred as this big fellow swam away leisurely.

"What a big…, shark!"

He wouldn\'t have reacted so intensely if it was a normal big shark, but from the sight, he was sure that this great white was almost 20 times bigger than the current him.

20 times…, 20 times, it was outrageous and in no way scientifically possible. As his train of thought took this route, he keenly stirred himself away; Afterall, Oceania was powered by magic.

Another fact that he observed was that this shark was far more evolved than the others.

Its fins were bigger and they looked as sharp as swords, it had 2 pairs of spikes jutting out of its sides, making it look super menacing and its teeth were longer than Sebastian\'s current body.

He was sincerely shocked.

As he continued his tourist view of this shark community, he let out an annoyed sound as everything was suddenly cut away from him again.

The sight flipped before him the same way a movie moved across scenes. The next moment, everything was replaced by a single shark. A young shark, just like him.

He didn\'t know why but seeing this shark, he felt a sense of déjà vu and one important name came to his mind. "Father?"

The shark suddenly turned to face him. He was shocked, as he was about to wave at it the shark suddenly turned and swam away like it didn\'t even see him.

Warp!

His vision changed again; it was just like fast-forwarding a movie. He felt like he was watching a history blockbuster movie in a full movie theater. The movie was about the life of his father.

The young shark woke up alone like him. Stranded and alone on the boundless ocean, it only took it a day to know the cruelty of its world as it was almost killed by a crocodile.

From that day, it finally knew to adapt to its world. It learned the rules of Oceania faster than expected. Blood for blood; flesh for flesh, that became its motto.

Just like a protagonist of a movie, it began the struggle of life from its first day after coming to this world as a shark.

It fought enemies daily; starting with juveniles like Tuna, turtles, before graduating to the masters like highly evolved Crocodiles, other species of sharks, most especially whale sharks, and even Dragons.

It\'s most fierce battle that almost led to its death was against a fire-breathing Dragon, the dragon fellow\'s high-temperature fire could basically evaporate the water.

Watching the battle as a spectator, Sebastian felt goosebumps creeping through him throughout its duration.

After killing a lot of powerful and dangerous foes, it finally reunited with its family. Still, in the family, the carnage was not over.

It fought against a lot of other siblings both in the incarnation tournament and in the battle to elect the new family head after they became matured sharks.

It went through blood, fire, pain, and breakdowns, but it never gave up. In the end, its efforts paid, and it was finally crowned as the new family head.

During its eventful journey, it evolved a lot of times and its appearance changed a lot also. Sebastian very much wanted to see his father\'s current form, but his messed-up sight refused to cooperate.

As he cursed angrily while thrashing about, he heard the familiar voice of his system again, making him pause.

[Host has experienced the illusion realm: The history of the alpha shark has been told; you have to forge your own path now.]

[Evolution will start in 10 seconds.]

[You will be given a lot of options; choose wisely.]

"I…"

Sebastian wanted to comment but he was cut off ruthlessly.. He felt a prick in his brain again, he experienced the same moving through a portal-like feeling before everywhere became darkness again.
