[Leviathan's Pov]

The auction went quite well. I bought a pair of really good-looking earrings, and also got a snake magical beast, which I plan to simply release. Why would I do so? It was never the plan to keep the magical beast. My only plan was to annoy the stupid sect guy and get him to cause a ruckus, then kill him. It worked just... wonderfully.

I head to the direction of the forest. The snake beast hadn't said anything through this whole trip and affair, I wonder why. I know it can speak to me through telepathy, but it simply won't. Well, I'm not saying anything either so I guess we're even...

After a 3 hour walk towards the Magical Forest, I turn to the snake and say "... Choose... Me..." I point at myself "... Or forest?"

The snake looked quite suprised, it then spat out "I'd much rather be free then in the hands of you human scum. I refuse to serve humans." I looked at him blankly before I simply... couldn't help... but laugh... really badly...

I was rolling over my stomach and trying to not suffucate from how much I was laughing. This is the best thing ever! An idiot snake thinks that me, the self-proclaimed King of the Seas, is a mere human? Haha... that's not even remotely funny but I couldn't help but laugh anyway.

I finally stop after 5 minutes and face the snake, who was looking at me with what I think is an angry expression. I smirk at him and say "... You... Idiot... Me... Monster... Not human..." The snake looked at me like I'm stupid and said "Ah yes, and if you're a monster then I'm a human."

My grin couldn't be wider right now. I look around and check that nobody was around before saying "... Go... far... away...look" He looked at me confused but had to obey due to the bond. As soon as he was far away enough, I begin to transform into my monster form, but first I took off my clothes.

My entire body first seemed to grow, then kept growing and growing. My legs disappeared, I grew blue scaled all over my body and after 15 seconds I had completed my transformation. A 150 meter long snake/dragon monster was now standing where I once was. Well, the monster is me...

The snake was terrified. It was literally shivering immensily. I was at least 50 times it's size... I looked at it from above and said telepathically "... Who's... human?" The snake couldn't even answer. His whole body was trembling and he wouldn't look up from the ground. 

I return to my human form and put my clothes back on. I then go to the snake and break our bond. The snake still wouldn't look at me so I said "... Go. Be free... Humans... Scum." 

The snake quickly fled into the forest, and I too headed in, but in a different direction. I spent the day hunting beasts, and by the end of the day, I had gathered 20.000 essence. 

As I returned to my room, I noticed the Xoi guy running towards me. I stop walking and face him. As he arrives, he smiled at me and said "Uh, here. You can have this, I guess? It's a gift? Uh... bye!!" He gave me a little box, then ran away kinda fast. I was extremely confused. Why would he do this? Is this a bomb? Will I die if I open it...?

I carefully open the box and find... a pearl? Isn't this the thing they sold at the auction house? It does look pretty nice...

"Eat the pearl. It contains 60.000 soul essence." The voice booms in my head. My eyes widened immensily as I heard this. 60.000 soul essence!? Isn't that a bit insane? What the hell!?

I immediately throw the pearl in my mouth and feel it feel me up inside. It felt liquid, almost sticky. Hm... Isn't this a bit too sexual-sounding for a pearl...? 

I checked my soul essence and I actually had 80.000! Just what I needed! I immediately ran to my room and opened up the inventory of things to buy. I buy the Lightning fruit and Three-fruit wielding. Excited, I throw the fruit inside of my mouth and taste it. It tasted awful, but my happiness made me want to savor it anyway.

As soon as I finished it, I felt an electric shock go through my body. I could feel myself become one with electricity. I casually ignited my whole body with lightning, and it worked!

I tried mixing it with my poison, and it worked as well. I guess I'm going to have to study and combine my fruits togheter huh... And I also need to reach the 10th stage of the 'Dragon Emperor's Body Cultivation'... So much stuff to do...

Happy to no end, I run outside and search for the Xoi guy. I wanted to thank him, I mean, he did just save me a lot of time...

I find him as he was talking to one of his friends, who seemed to be scolding him. I walk up to them, and they turn at me, suprised. I look at the Xoi guy and say "... Thanks... Very much..." And I give a short bow, before turning and going away. The two idiots had their mouths hanging from their head, and didn't seem to believe what had just happened. Well, I don't really care, but it'd be nice to have more of those pearls...

I then spent the rest of the day cultivating. And the next day too. And the following one as well. All in all, I spent 8 of my 11 days in the city cultivating without rest. I managed to achieve the 8th rank in the 'Dragon Emperor's Body Cultivation', and I could feel that I would sprout out wings at the 9th rank for my human form, and at the 10th I'd gain another pair of wings, totaling 4. I would have 8 titanic wings in my monster form at the 9th rank, and 12 at the 10th rank. I don't know how I know this, I just do. I only got out of my room once, to go and check out if rumors of me had spread. 

This narrative has been purloined without the author's approval. Report any appearances on Amazon.

And spread they did. I had a couple of nicknames: 'one-touch angel of death', 'Queen of the blue', 'Icy queen of death' and the most popular one 'Deadly Beuty'. They all sounded... dumb... very dumb... But I ignored it. Apparently, the Yan Mao sect wants me dead pretty badly, but they don't dare to just randomly attack me without knowing my strenght. 

Just so you know, I had applied an extremely quick-working and deadly poison on the idiots through skin contact, I only injected the minimum amount so people wouldn't know what I was doing, then I removed it from their bodies, so that they won't understand what happend. I doubt they'd be able to counter it even if they knew it was poison, but I don't want to take risks.

The last three days were spent testing out my powers in the forest. I also spent an entire day in monster form simply roaming around, devouring all the monsters and occasionally humans that crossed my path. I can combine my poison breath with lightning and send out a lightning breath, by having the electricity pass through a water-vapor filled breath. 

I tested out various kinds of poisons, from mind-controlling ones to ultra-corrosive acids capable of melting steel to laughing gas. The variety was almost infinite. I also discovered that my devil fruits have far superior effects in monster form, as it should be. My max electrical discharge in human form is 10 million volts, and in monster form it's a staggering 100 million. I can also transform my body into electricity, making me immune to physical attacks, but this is only in human form, as my monster form is too large to do so. 

On the last day of my stay, I discovered something... interesting. As I was roaming the forest in human form I suddently heard huge footsteps coming towards my direction. Turning to the footsteps, I waited for the monster to arrive. 

I saw a giant ape. But that wasn't really the suprising part. That part was when the ape suddently began shrinking and then turned into a very muscular and naked human. I looked at the guy for a second. Deemed him hot absentmindedly, then asked "... Yes?"

The ape-man somersaulted and said "That's the first thing you say??" I nod at him and he facepalms. What's up with this overly human ape? Ah, wait! Humans are apes after all...

"Argh, anyway, just what are you doing here girl? Have you seen a huge beast rampaging in the proximity? I've been tasked by the Elder Beast to bring it to him." I think for a second, then nod. He smiles and claps his hands. "Great! Now, where is it?"

I tilt my head and point at myself. He looks at me blankly for a couple of seconds before saying "Seriously, girl. Where is the beast?" I pout my cheecks and point at myself again. He looks blankly at me for a second then says "... Seriously? You smell human though, how can that be? Us Magical Beasts never lose our beastly smell! So don't try to fool me!" I don't know what to do with this guy. 

"... Who... Elder... is?" He laughs and says "He is the most ancient being in this forest. He lived for millenia on millenia and is know for being at the King Sait level. I'm only at the lower Earth Saint tier, so I can't even begin to compare with his greatness!" ... How dumb. This monkey sounds way too proud of a turtle-like being who refuses to leave the forest. I wouldn't be suprised if this Elder was actually a turtle.

"... See... Him?" I say and he shakes his head "No, only when he calls for you may you come to him." We look at each other blankly for a while. I break the ice by saying "... Called me... Though..." and he immediately says "Prove it." whilst crossing his arms.

I shrug and take off my clothes, earning a shriek from the ape. Seriously? You're interested in humans?

"What the hell are you doing!? Why did... you..." He stops as he sees me transform. Unfortunatly for the trees around me, I'm a bit too large for them, so I kinda break several of them. The monkey man backs away to avoid collision with my transforming body. 

Soon enough, my 150 meter long body stood there with all of it's glory. I tower over the ape who was looking at me with a hint of fear. I'm very much longer then he is, so I guess it makes some sense. 

"... Proved. Lead... Now." I say and he nods furiously. I turn back into my human form and put back my clothes, then follow the ape-man. I wonder... what cultivation stage am I? I never actually cultivated properly, and only used the 'Dragon Emperor's Body Cultivation', so I'm not sure. Maybe I could try cultivating normally after I mastered my fruits and finished the body?

I follow him in silent for an hour. We then arrived at a large lake I never saw before. I was quite excited, I mean, water is my main element and I do love every bit of it. 

The ape bows to the lake and then quickly leaves. After he left, I hear a very deep voice rumble out "Hoh, so you are the supposed beast that has been rampaging in my forest for quite a while? You smell... Human. Say, who and what are you?" I see a giant... turtle... I knew it... come out from the lake. It was 40 meters in diameter, and it's shell looked really hard.

Hm. So this is a King Saint rank? Doesn't look too impressive. But that's from my prospective as a cheat being, so I'm not sure how to base this from other's prospectives. I answer the turtle after a bit of reflection "... Name... Leviathan. Born... island... monsters... week... boat. Not... Human... nor... beast... is... myself." The turtle slightly nodded at that. "I can see it in you that you're a born killer, so don't take this too badly, but I will need to make you leave this forest. I already have my hands full with the human scum who comes everyday and kills thousands of us, so I can't also deal with another problem."

I look at him blankly then say "... Deal?" He looks at me for a second, then nods his head. I say "... Cooperate... against... humans. Souls... theirs... want. Bring... alive... me. Help... exchange." The giant turtle looks at me with sharp eyes. I then feel a small Qi pressure, but it's so tiny I barely feel it. Even though my body doesn't contain any proper Qi, my body itself is forged with tons over tons of Qi, so this much is nothing.

"Hm. You are strong indeed to not even feel my pressure, even though I don't feel any Qi in you. So, you want their souls? That's quite the thing to want. How would you even gather souls?" I tilt my head and say "... Kill?" He tilts his head as well "Hm? That's all? No wierd necromancer ritual?" I tilt my head even more "... Necromancer?" He sighs and says "Hahhh, neverming. You're quite the handful you know... Well, fine. If you help us kill the humans coming in this forest I promise to give those we capture alive to you. We've had to be discreet in not getting discovered by the bigger sects until now, but I assume you will deal with them if we go all out?" 

I nod at him. Sects don't scare me. They're just a dumb excuse for rounding up fodder after all, and none of the students ever truly succedes. There are exceptions, but those are rare, as the truly talented prefer schools over sects. 

The turtle laughs and announces "Hahaha, great! We can finally gain revenge over those shitty humans. Say, I'm quite curious of your supposed monster form. Let me see it." I comply and first take off my clothes, then transform. Needless to say, the turtle almost pissed itself as I towered over it. Although most of my snake-like body is on the ground, I still rise up a good 50 meters, giving me a naga-like look, but not really considering the 6 undeveloped wings on my back and the giant spikes all through my back.

Hm. All is well. Time to hunt some humans.
