Seeing the boundless water without any confines of a tunnel, the colorful weeds and plants growing from the seabed, and the towering Seamounts in the distance, Sebastian confirmed again that he was back.

He was finally back to the normality expected of an ocean fantasy world.

[You have activated skill: Triple Reverse Swim.]

Without hesitation, he immediately started swimming from the position of the trench which had a depression leading down to the abyssal plain below it.

He still remembered how he was attacked by the Barracuda fish, staying in an inconspicuous place like this was just courting death in front of the many predators looking for food in these waters.

Quickly swimming from the trench, he randomly decided on a direction to swim towards. Despite this, he did not rashly start freely swimming into the wilder parts of the Ocean, he had to observe first.

Now, he wanted to find a good location where he could observe evenly in all directions with a lower chance of being discovered by predators.

This was when his intelligence as a former human came to play. Observing and analyzing the layout of his surrounding, he quickly arrived at the best possible location to act as a spy shark.

As he swam closer to the slight protrusion in the sea bed that was covered and well-hidden by a cluster of seaweed, he noticed a flower in the middle of these seaweeds.

It had many colors making it seem like a rainbow flower, but its 2 most dominant colors were green and yellow. It looked so attractive to the eye that Sebastian immediately wanted to sleep on top of it.

Subconsciously, his tail fin flapped left and right and he started swimming closer to this beautiful flower hidden amid a cluster of weeds.

[A skill has been used on you: Seduction!]

Sebastian didn’t pay attention to the system’s notification at first as all his attention was on the flower, but he suddenly stopped as his brain seemed to have clicked back into its right order.

His eyes became clear all of a sudden, he seemed to have woken up from a dream that felt so much like reality.

Thinking of his previous state and the notification of the system, he shuddered as he finally recognized what this wolf in sheep clothing was.

“A f*cking Sea Urchin!”

“Damn, system, who told you I was seduced?”

Feeling a painful pang of embarrassment slap hard at his ego, he felt an urge for revenge. Even in his previous life, he was a great resistor to female seductions, so what did this urchin mean?

As his emotions became riled up, he finally noticed the extremely beautiful and attractive form of the flower rapidly fading from the flower.

It finally presented itself in its normal Sea Urchin form.

Sebastian was stunned. “Was that an illusion? You can do that too?”

He felt a surge of enlightenment but this did not push him away from his intention to make this urchin pay for its blasphemous act.

He wanted to rush forward and bite it to shreds immediately, but remembering the potent poison that a Sea Urchin had in his previous life, he wisely decided to use a more ingenious strategy.

His 2 ranged options appeared before him, either his Magic Teeth skill or his Water Transmutation unique skill.

When he weighed his options, he quickly decided on his more badass skill. He wanted this Sea Urchin to pay for its act, and he wanted it to be squashed completely to meat paste.

Slashing it with a sword would not do this time, so he started an experiment. He formed an image in his mind and pumped his mana into it.

[You have activated unique skill: Water Transmutation.]

[You have created a new magic manifestation: War Hammer!]

Almost at the same time as the notification sounded, Sebastian looked and saw a pitch-black enormous hammer hovering in the water before him. It had complicated patterns all over its streamlined body.

“I did it! I created another magic manifestation!”

While feeling excited, he threw the war hammer with his magic immediately.

Perhaps, having sensed its impending doom, the originally silent Sea Urchin finally stirred as it waved its small flowers rapidly at the water seemingly in panic. This could do nothing though.

Bam!

The hammer slammed down, and everything under it got crushed into dust and a badly mangled flower.

[You have killed the Seductress Sea Urchin- Level 11: You have gained Experience.]

[You have gained 2 Skill points and 5 Adaptation points.]

Seeing this, Sebastian felt excited as he seemed to have discovered another rule of his unique skill.

He couldn’t create any other thing apart from the flaming sword and the bow and arrow before, but now he could create a magic war hammer too.

He guessed that this was because of his increased proficiency with using the unique skill. Perhaps, as the Water Transmutation could not be leveled, his proficiency with it was the way to increase his power with it.

He once again felt anticipation for it. “How many magic manifestations will I be able to create once I evolve to the next tier of strength above level 10”.

He knew that after the evolution his mana points would probably increase, he could not help but fantasize about how powerful he would be then.

Well, those were for after his evolution, but for now, he had to be a spy.

He didn’t know if he could eat a plant and get its basic profile too, and he couldn’t experiment with it as his hammer directly smashed the Sea Urchin to meat paste.

Quickly forgetting about that, he entered the middle of the cluster of seaweeds before arranging himself to better observe his surroundings.

Manipulating his electroreceptors, he made them focus in single directions to increase the range that he could see.

He did this in all directions, but he didn’t see any easy prey nor dangerous predator. The ocean water weirdly felt deserted.

As he intended to start thinking of other alternatives to find food, the system sent him another notification.

[It is currently nighttime in Oceania. To remain at your optimal state to face any threat, it’s advisable that you sleep now with the other sea creatures and wake up strong to hunt prey.]

Listening to that, Sebastian flapped his tail fin in thought. “Well, that’s reasonable, I’ll take your advice”.

As soon as he agreed, without hesitation, he stopped all activities that required his brain with the intention to fall asleep.

In about 2 minutes, he fell asleep but his body kept on moving slowly through the water due to the actions of his mischievous spinal cord.

Before sleeping, what he did to remedy this was to entangle his tail fin among the cluster of weeds. In such a situation, even if his body tried to swim, he would be held down by the weeds as he wasn’t activating his swim skill.

“Common sense”.. He felt like patting himself for his genius.
