Free Web NovelChapter 5: Siren Stronghold [ 1 ]
Nacho had no plan.
Well, he had half of a plan. The half that involved Storm Manipulation. The other half was a little murky, to say the least.
But it’s fine. I have a rough idea of how to use it. So let me try it out.
The fish man was fast, but Nacho was faster. The skies darkened for a brief moment, his mana draining fully.
[-6,190 MP | 0 / 6,190 (Regen 1/s)]
He felt lightheaded, but before long, a loud and powerful lightning bolt descended from the sky, striking the fish man head on. The lightning bolt pierced straight through his body, killing him before he could even utter a word.
[You’ve slain: [x1] Siren (Level 25). You’ve gained: +1,000 Experience]
He was left floating in the ocean, his blood oozing out. It wasn’t a very pretty sight, but it was fine. At the very least, Nacho could absorb his body.
Though...
God damn, an Epic Ranked skill is way out of my skill range. I should’ve just stuck to Water Manipulation. All my mana’s gone, and now I got a big ass headache. Nacho sighed.
I really have to learn how to use these skills at less power. Ah, since I’m about to become a Siren and go out wherever I want, I should probably retract my tentacle.
He realized that he could make them invisible or retract them a few days after he left the dungeon. It seemed like a pretty overpowered skill, so he went ahead and retracted them, and also made them invisible.
Finally, he approached the corpse of the Siren.
He looks pretty human. Huh. To be honest, I thought I’d feel something when killing someone. I’ve not even taken a life in my past life. Is this because I’m not a human anymore?
Whatever it was, he appreciated it.
[Current Form: Manta Ray (Rare)]
[Absorption Target: Siren (Uncommon)]
[Warning: Absorbing this creature will unlock the Siren (Uncommon) form and permanently grant one of its innate Talents.]
[Would you like to proceed?]
He agreed and went through with the transformation. It was different this time around, since unlike the fish, he now had organs and whatnot. At least he didn’t need to breathe manually.
[Innate Talent Gained: Alluring Voice (Uncommon)]
Nacho closed his eyes, then reopened them, bursting out from the water, and standing upright atop it.
Staring at his reflection in the water, he admired his silver hair and crimson eyes. This guy was a looker, and his junk wasn’t half bad too.
Nacho decided. This was going to be his permanent human form.
I could’ve probably gotten some more Talents out of him, but I don’t really swing that kind of way. I’d rather use my tentacle on a, uh... female Siren.
Welp.
Nacho glanced toward the sun.
He seemed to be going in that direction. I wonder if... Wow. What if I enter his city or whatever, and then start a blindfolded massage shop to milk all these Sirens dry?
His genius was unparalleled.
But like the genius that he was, he wanted to do a quick little progress check before moving on, so he opened his status screen.

Perception’s pretty low. But it should rise a bit more now that I’m above water. Ah, I should head to where he was going before the sun goes down.
With that in mind, Nacho made his way forward.
(Several hours later...)
"Hmm."
Staring at the tens, if not, hundreds of spiraling towers in front of him, thousands of underwater houses, and as many Sirens as the eyes could see, Nacho felt a bit strange.
Not because the majority that were above water and in the towers were looking at his junk, but more so that he realized just how many women there were.
I’m counting at least 10 women for every one man. Does every man have a harem? My earlier idea is going to be much easier then.
Before he could put anything into motion though, a female Siren in silver armor appeared in front of him, brandishing her sword.
"Do you have no shame?"
"I don’t have any clothes," Nacho replied firmly. "Mind sparing me some? I swear I’m not a nudist."
It felt refreshing to speak again. More so, since this knight sounded hot beyond all this armor.
"Regardless if you’re a nudist or not, take this."
She tossed a robe at him, and he wrapped it around his privates.
Then, she added:
"Good, now follow me. I’ll be putting you in prison for the act of public nudity. Do you have anything to say for yourself?"
"Mm. Not really. Take me to prison. I wanna nap," Nacho replied and walked on the water, approaching her.
She haughtily turned around and dived underwater, gesturing for him to follow.
Nacho did just that, diving underwater. Surprisingly, in this city, while he was underwater, it didn’t feel like it. Flames were lit, and food was being cooked.
But instead of focusing on that, he focused on the sudden urge he just got. He’d never tested his tentacles on a humanoid before, and he wanted his first time to be special.
So for the time being, he decided to take a small interest in this woman and see where he goes from there.
