Free Web NovelChapter 4: Beginning [ 4 ]
[You’ve cleared the dungeon: Mega Shark Lair (Level 15)]
[You’ve obtained a reward: +5 Free Stat Points.]
[Where would you like to allocate the Free Stat Points?]
Hmm.
[Ding!]
[Are you sure you want to allocate 5 Free Stat Points into the Charm Attribute?]
[Confirmed...]
It was a no brainer, seeing what his Charm could do to these monsters. Now, he’d have 60 Charm whenever he touched someone with his First Tentacle. He didn’t even want to imagine what would happen if he touched that shark again.
Ew...
Shaking his head inwardly, Nacho wanted to move ahead, but soon realized he wasn’t in that horny shark’s lair anymore. Instead, he was out in the middle of some ocean.
Ah, right. I just left that dungeon. Well, I’ll figure out what I’ll do in a second. Let me check my stats first.

In just one dungeon, he got so many Talents and stats. Now though, he was between two choices.
Did he want to go out onto land and start messing around from there? It’d be easier, but also much more dangerous.
The water is much more safer though, and I could come out when I’m a bit more prepared. Yeah. For now, I’ll stick to reaching Level 50, pushing my stats past 3 digits, and increasing my Charm a bit more.
With that, Nacho set his sights downward and got to work.
(Ten days later...)
The world outside of the dungeon was fun.
There were all sorts of creatures, and a few were just like that shark he killed.
So after a little over a week...
My growth rate’s a little abnormal.

Ah, the level too.
Level 5 → 22 : 582 / 2,200 Experience
Throughout the ten days, he found four more dungeons and cleared them. Each one had a bunch of unique fish, so his collection of forms and Talents grew even more.
Some of the Talents merged together too. I guess my hard work’s paid off.
More importantly, his current form was the coolest one he’d gotten so far.
[Current Form: Manta Ray (Rare)]
It had massive wingspan, silent movement, generates its own current. Predator’s Instinct was insane in this form.
As for all the other Talents he got, he first checked which had been merged.
[Water Manipulation (Rare) + Jet Propulsion (Common) + Static Charge (Common) = Storm Manipulation (Epic)]
[Camouflage (Common) + Scent Masking (Common) + Sonar Pulse (Common) = Phantom (Rare)]
[Regeneration (Common) + Rapid Metabolism (Common) + Shell Hardening (Common) + Spine Coat (Common) = Apex Body (Rare)]
—Talents: (New) Storm Manipulation (Epic), Water Manipulation (Rare), (NEW) Apex Body (Rare), (NEW) Phantom (Rare), Predator’s Instinct (Uncommon), Toxic Resistance (Common), (NEW) Bioluminescence (Common), (NEW) Pressure Resistance (Common),
There were a lot.
Most importantly, he realized that a lot of the Talents could be merged together. It was just that, if they were too similar, some got deleted, but their effects remained.
He got Storm Manipulation after getting Jet Propulsion, since it merged with Water Manipulation and Static Charge. Only Static Charge disappeared, since it fell into Storm Manipulation.
The same was with Apex Body. His Regeneration (Common) did disappear, but his regeneration had went up from 5HP/s to 10HP/s.
It was a nice little system that rewarded him for his hard work, and he appreciated it. Now though, he felt like it was about time to try moving on to something more humanoid.
It’s not that I got bored of the ocean, but I realized the deeper I went, the more dangerous it got. freewёbnoνel.com
It was actually so bad, that he once saw 10 sharks get swallowed by some dark creature. So if he wanted to improve, his odds of dying increased by way too much.
So for that reason, Nacho decided to slowly move up and see what he could accomplish.
He swam swiftly through the water, arriving at the surface. He peeked his head out, and for the first time since he got here, he saw the sun.
Phew. I did expect to stay for a couple of months, but I’ll just have to come back to the ocean whenever I’m a bit stronger.
Right as Nacho was about to make a bee-line in some random direction, he saw some kind of man swimming by.
Nacho wasn’t gay.
But damn.
The man looked kinda hot.
Though, from the looks of things, he wasn’t actually a normal man. He swam really fast, and he had some gills on his neck. Maybe he was some kind of fish person?
Whatever he was, this was the first time Nacho encountered a humanoid, and he was most definitely not going to let him run away.
Heh.
It’s about time I test out Storm Manipulation.
