A sea too dense to swim in.
I feel my fins heavy, it's dark and I'm trying to retrace my memories.
How did it happen?
Well, it doesn't matter. I am an ancient predator and wizard of fearsome power. The author made me at [lv: 39] for a reason.
That is, to plunder and dominate the ancient temples of the sixteen seas.
Oh, now I feel myself falling and…
I float!
Hehe, no one expected that a sperm whale could fly.
Instead, in my immense power I have [Sky-Swim], a [skill] similar to [Fly] but specific to aquatic creatures.
And here I am floating and floating.
Look at this seabed of black sand.
An orange light, the few times I emerged from the water was always at dusk. My [Whalelich] powers are strongest at dusk.
Yet I don't remember teleporting, I have no such ability. No creature, that I know of, can.
Maybe that girl.
The image of her green tresses, that shape-shifting sword… ah, yes, we were fighting!
Those foolish sailors from the port called her to liberate the dungeon I guarded!
Ah! Where did she send me? To me, the ancient sperm whale of the sixteen seas!
But she will have to pay for everything with interest! I am the most powerful being in the world!
The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
A building in the distance.
I lower my flight altitude and get closer.
A figure emerges from a drop of darkness on the ground. I lower my quota again.
What a horrible creature, it reminds me of those humans! But she has triangular and furry ears, maybe she is an earthwitch. I have heard sailors and servants mention the powers of such creatures.
Nothing compared to mine, but…
Is she bowing?
“Nice to meet you, I'm N. I'm the caretaker of this place.”
Does she speak my language? How strange. Apart from sperm whales and Triton druids, no one has ever spoken to me.
I go down and lie down on the sand.
You little creature, so you're not a witch?
Well, great! An easy snack to regenerate my rotting flesh.
“My pleasure. I am the supreme sperm whale, the one who has subjugated the sixteen temples of the sea in a single dungeon. I see you are already bowing. Maybe I could spare you.”
“Oh, don't say that. I can listen to your stories but then I will have to judge you.”
As she speaks, the ridiculous bells ring. She tied them to a tail, what a useless ornament. I don't sense any magical power in it.
And yes, with [Treasure keeper] I should immediately identify what has value. She wears robes, humanoid stuff, bah.
Even as an undead, I expose my mighty body, I certainly don't need to be ashamed of it.
Anyway.
“Judge me you say? Silly. I am the most powerful being in my world. Nobody has the power to judge me, not even the author can do anything against me.”
The girl seems to be looking at an invisible screen. She pricks the air with her nails.
“Hmm, you are strong indeed. But they defeated you. You have been digested, by a magic-devouring sword. Since you are already undead, you fully belong to the magical creatures and…”
“How dare you contradict me!?”
“Sorry, sorry!” The little being sinks into the correct bows. Maybe I could forgive her.
No.
There is no point in sparing the weak.
[Flesh eater]
I open my jaws and the mass of my insides spurts out. I envelop that little gnat that screams and I swallow it whole.
Silly creature.
I look around and fly again.
[Judgment]
Hm? And what would [Judgment] be?
Author, I feel sick… I'm undead, I should be immune to nausea pain, and… ooh…
What do you say!?
Is [lv: 39] too low to resist a [Judgment: 6]?
What does it mean!?
Author! Author I'm disintegrating, I'm turning to ash, I'm…
[Judgment: Nightmare]
What!? NO! You can't do this to me!
Not…
Bzzz…
{Hi, I'm the author... sorry for intruding... the PoV was interrupted by a technical problem. However, I can guarantee that N is fine and that we will no longer broadcast from PoVs that claim to break the fourth wall.}
