Ocean Master

[You have activated skill: Mega Dash!]

[You have activated skill: Rupturing Sonic Ram!]

[You have activated skill: Mega Crushing Bite!]

Crunch!

"Humphhhmmfff….!!"

The angry beast thrashed back and forth, attacking from different angles with the spikes that filled his body while his powerful legs threw out deadly kicks here and there but Sebastian never let go of it.

After so long of being starved of it, finally getting his hands on a purple tier predator was a dream come true to Sebastian and he was not letting it go.

Compared to their orange tier counterparts, purple tier predators were not just powerful, but their self-defense, self-recovery, and life-preservation skills and mechanisms were so refined that they were as stubborn as a cockroach to kill.

At least, this was when they were going toe to toe against normal predators of the same tier. Unfortunately for this spiked beast though, he met the wrong opponent in the form of an anomaly like Sebastian.

[You have activated skill: Dissecting Bite!]

Sebastian's teeth never left the beast despite all its thrashing about, its survival instincts were already kicking in which made its resistance stronger but not to Sebastian. The difference was too wide.

Sebastian ground his deadly rows of teeth across the spiked sturdy skin of this predator as each grind penetrated meters in.

One of those grinds went wrong for the spiked beast as it finally got a weak point, the mutated beast thrashed more violently like it was electrocuted as soon as Sebastian's deadly teeth hit the mark.

Crunch!

Its struggles soon died down not long after that.

[You have killed a mutated Spiked Arachnid- Level 24: You have gained Experience.]

[You have gained 84 Skill points and 50 Adaptation points.]

[You have gained a mana core.]

Sebastian conveniently ignored the weird name of this beast. Clearly, its species already mutated so much that the system was too lazy to give it a unique name and instead settled for calling it the general Arachnid.

Though this felt slightly funny, Sebastian paid no attention to it at this moment as he felt even stronger emotions about something else.

He felt like crying each time he completed a kill and his system projected a notification to him excluding the crucial information that he wanted.

Heck, he's been killing for days without any level up!

Though every one of his kills for the past 3 days was mostly orange tier predators, due to his current strength, his killing speed meant that the sheer amount of them that he had killed was stupendous.

He recalled that before his evolution, killing so much would have enabled him to level up at least twice. And before, each of his purple tier kills always enabled him to level up more than twice but clearly, this was no longer the case.

Even with all these added together, he was unable to level up even once. Just thinking of it left him tear-eyed, most especially when the current region that he found himself in was mostly devoid of powerful predators.

After 1 month of rest in a coma, Sebastian woke up to find himself in this barren region of water that looked like a scaled-down version of the Sahara.

For hundreds of kilometers, all that he could see was the all-encompassing sand that seemed to have no end. The water in this region was also affected by the sand, now having a tint of gold in it.

With his intelligence, after waking up, Sebastian didn't need much brainpower to deduce that he was dumped in an obscure and remote part of this region.

He understood the rationale behind it though since dumping him here would reduce his chances of bumping into powerful predators while he was still in a coma to the barest minimum.

Till now, Sebastian only still had guesses about the reason why the so-called Rabbit Monarch helped him which made him all the more grateful to the rabbit.

Though he would have appreciated it more if the Monarch took him to his kingdom, he still appreciated the little help that he received.

When Sebastian woke up, the first thing that he noticed was his much thinner body and the biting hunger that seemed like a knife ready to cut him apart starting from his very stomach. 

To his shock, going without feasting for one month had so much impact on him that he now seemed like a bag of bones rather than a fearsome predator that just survived a fierce skirmish against the Atlantis Empire.

Every single glucose in his body was absorbed to keep his body alive, and it was why he felt like a starved pilgrim who crossed the Sahara.

The biting hunger was so fierce that he rose immediately. This barren region encountered a new normal as the hungry Megalodon wreaked havoc, gorging in food like his stomach was a dimensional storage box.

It was during these hunts that Sebastian found out and understood where he currently was. He also consolidated his knowledge about this world.

Just a few secret observations proved to Sebastian that he was no longer in a backward region like the ocean volcano region nor the small cave where he started his journey in this world alongside Leroy the turtle.

This may be a barren backwater region, but the knowledge displayed by the predators here showed to Sebastian that he was no longer dealing with barbarians.

After 3 days, he already had a small group of 5 shameless bootlicking sharks who recognized his power and sought to take shelter under him.

He got most of his information from this intelligent group of 5, and from them, he also got his first Oceania net device.

This device was like a small pin. All he needed to activate it was to pin it to his skin, then a neural connection would be established where he could access the boundless world of Oceania's version of the internet.

"Holy shit!" This was Sebastian's reaction when he accessed it.

He already reconciled with the fact that he transmigrated into a fantastical world long ago, but this, this was still a little beyond his imaginations.

Sebastian was so fascinated by the discovery that he played with his new toy for one full day, immersed in exploring its limits and capabilities. As expected though, he could only scratch the periphery of its capabilities.

His impossible job was like boasting of exploring the whole internet, it was shameless boasting that was impossible to achieve. Through his new 5 shark lackeys, Sebastian learned more than just the Oceania net. 

The predators found in this region, for those that had intelligence already were much more docile than the barbaric predators of his previous region which was a refreshingly new experience to Sebastian.

Considering the fact that most of the big and resource-rich regions had Empires governing them, the beasts had no choice but to tone down on their crazy tendencies least they were cracked on by the Empire guards.

This was why there was more law and order around though in a crazy beastly manner. This did not mean that the predators couldn't feed anymore, it was just more controlled and there were more limits.

Apart from this, Sebastian also learned more about this region. The closest beast Empire to this barren region was the 10-Head Empire, but it was still a few hundred kilometers away from his current location.

Though below the Sea Empires, every other thing is called rural settlements, there were still grades between the rural settlements.

Rural settlements were divided into the low grade, the middle grade, and the high grade. There were numerous low-grade rural settlements close to his current region, a few middle grades, and only 2 high-grade rural settlements.

These 2 high-grade rural settlements according to the 5 sharks were the Anemone Domain and the Snake Kingdom.

Of course, once Sebastian heard the term snake, he automatically canceled the 2nd high-grade rural settlements from his choices, leaving him with the anemone domain which he quickly decided on.

The 1 fact that he loved about this less cannibalistic setup was the fact that every Empire and most rural settlements allowed visitors.

This was not only to engage in trade, but it was to also socialize and to forge allies. It was already clear that alone, it was hard to survive in this world.

Sebastian had another compelling reason that prompted him to visit this high-grade rural settlement. 

According to the 5 sharks, this was a large body of water that was covered by sea anemones, and it was the home to a large gathering of clownfishes.

'Clown fish', this was the term that captured Sebastian's attention. Though he was occupied after the clue about the Doppelganger and Invisibility unique kill came, he never forgot his quest to look for the so-called motherf*cker Lord.

For some reason, his intuition told him that he was related to this shameless clownfish in some way and he wanted to confirm it.

This was why he decided to go visit it and his 5 shark lackeys were more than happy to receive his protection along the way. They stayed here because they didn't dare to travel the treacherous pathway to this rural settlement.

Sebastian was ready to leave today, but before he did, he had something else to take care of which was related to his system.

After he completed 2/7 of his Unique Skill Hunter mission, he received a special system clue that he had not checked till now. He decided to check it before embarking on his journey to the rural settlement.

"System, give me the special clue".

[Affirmative!]
