The moment my consciousness returned the first thing I saw is blue and darkness around me.
'W-where am I?' these were the first thoughts i've had after waking up.
From the looks of it, I seem to have reincarnated underwater but have no problem breathing whatsoever.
Do I still even have a mouth? Theres no mirror here so I wouldnt know.
'Maybe I turned into a dashing mermen haha but why do I not have a mouth?'
*glub blub blub*
...
I could see bubbles floating from underneath me.
Then I remembered that from the video games I've played in my previous life that underwater levels are filled with powerful and big monsters.
'Oh crap!'
In my panic I looked directly below me and found a gigantic creature whose features closely resembles a Mosasaurus! Unlike the Mosasaurus' smooth body these creatures have a rather bulky, rough and rugged one with a long neural spine in their backs and these ones looked like they beat the Mosasaurus' size of 49 feet!
'Hehehe my knowledge about dinosaurs are quite amazing isnt it?'
W-wait, am I going to get eaten? I just reincarnated and the Leaun god guy girl person made the underwater level my spawn point?!
'What a douche!' I yelled in my mind since I dont seem to have a mouth right now.
"Oi, who do you think you're calling a douche?" said by certain douc-I mean androgynous god. Golden hair with facial features of a girl at the age of 8 and a flat chest. This is this world's god Leaun, did he come to save me perhaps?!
"Ughhh..." the trap god uttered while he looked at me like someone who looked desperate for help.
In that moment the slightly bigger Mosasaurs seems to have swum faster around me.
Scary! Please stop.
"Oi Stevey boy youre emmiting a delighted aura so the Leviathans think that you like them dancing around you."
Oh so these things are called Leviathans huh. I always thought that leviathans is a water dragon with tentacles... Wait, didnt the trap said that-'Oi why do you keep calling me a trap' these Leviathans are just dancing around me? Can I take that as-'Hey! Stop ignoring me and monologuing!' a sign that they are not here to eat me?
I still cant bring myself to get my guard down since I've read that some sea creatures like orcas likes to play with their food before eating it. *stare* Oh for a second there I forgot that the trap god is here.
"OKAY! I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU SPEAKING ILL OF ME! I WAS SUPPOSED TO HELP YOU IN YOUR SECOND LIFE BUT SINCE YOURE TREATING ME THIS WAY I'LL JUST GO BACK TO BEING A FROG IN YOUR OLD WORLD."
Why are you so obsessed about transforming into a frog?
"BECAUSE I FIND THEM CUTE!" the trap go-I meant god said through teary eyes and red cheeks.
'Well arent you quite cute enough already in that form?' "Hahhhhhhhhh"she/he lets out an exaggerated sigh "You're trying to hit on a god now? I am understandably adorable but I have to say that I prefer those that listens to me when I'm talking."
Looks like I unintenionally ignored him/her so she/he seems about to cry at any moment now.
"Who's gonna cry!?"
Stop reading my mind please.
"Well all jokes aside I came here to tell you the basics of the basics, first focus on saying 'Appraisal:Show Status' in your mind."
Arent we moving way too fast?
"I just want to finish this because youre annoying me."
Thats blunt as heck!
Well I did what Leaun said anyways and another screen similar to the last one popped up.
Lv 1 (81 Exp to next Lv) Guardian of the Deeps Hp:2,500,500 Name:Rynoks Atk:370,000 Racial Gift: [Against all odds] [Unstoppable Force] [Natural Armor] [Liquid Body] MgcAtk: 370,000 Skills:{Liquify Lv 1}{Appraisal Lv 10}{Guardian Transformation Lv 10}{Invoke Tsunami Lv 1}{Invoke Whirlpool Lv 1} Def:370,000 Available Stat Points:100 MgcDef:370,000 Mana:1,000 MvmSpd:1,100 Ki:1,000 AtkSpd:4.5 Int: 1,150 Luck:100
'Uhmm arent these stats a little bit too high for a level 1?' I raised a question to Leaun upon looking at my stat screen.
"Not at all! You're born as a guardian so this much is natural."he/she said with a big smile.
"Let's move on to the next use of appraisal, this time focus on saying 'Appraisal:Others' while looking at one of the Leviathans."
Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
Doing so a screen popped up.
Lv 324 (810,230 Exp to next Lv) Leviathan Hp:12,956,550 Name:(Nameless) Atk:589,000 Racial Gift: [Unstoppable Force] MgcAtk: 400,000 Skills:{Liquify Lv 1}{Call Allies Lv 10}{Head Charge Lv 10}{Bite Lv 10}{Energy Beam Lv 10}{Camouflage Lv 10} Def:400,000 Available Stat Points:0 MgcDef:400,000 Mana:3,730 MvmSpd:327 Ki:0 AtkSpd:0.8 Int: 630 Luck:65
Yep, my stats are way too high.
'Hey Leaun-sama why do I have 4 racial gifts while the leviathan only has one?'I voiced out a question upon seeing that the leviathan also has [Unstoppable Force].
"Oh! Nice question, well the answer to that is because youre a guardian you have the privelege of owning all of the Liqiean races' racial gifts!"
'Hmm so Leviathans are considered as a race and not a monster?'
"Oh I was just about to explain that."
"I've given you max level appraisal so it could help you with your questions about skill effects and others so before I leave I'm gonna explain Int and Luck stat. The Int stat is the basis whether a creature is called a monster, a guardian or one of the races. Those who have 0 to 499 Int stats are labeled as monsters while 500-999 is considered as a race variant and Guardians like yourself has an average stat of 1000+ but don't get your head too big though, the Int stat does not mean your knowledge it is just the basis of creatures."
Geh, and here I thought I'd be a heck lot smarter than any other creature here.
"Moving on to the Luck stat, this stat decreases all of your skill's failure chance by 1% for every 10 Luck stat. For example is the skill {Liquify} which is able to take down anything including those with the perk Immortality in one hit has a 100% failure chance but dont be spending all your Stat points on luck since the Luck stat has a cap of 250 meaning you could only get 25% failure chance reduction at most and since {Liquify} is a channeled skill shot so there is still a chance that the opponent can dodge even if it didnt fail.I'll also remind you that normally you could only get 3 stat points per level but since youre a guardian you get to have 5 per level."
Oh so investing stat points in luck is pretty stupid because I already have a base luck of 100 but if I invest all available-'Well, Ciao Ciao!'-stat points in luck I would get a 20% failure chance reduction already? Is that worth?
Hmmm....
----------------------------------------
Meanwhile in Earth
Leaun(frog form):"H-he didnt even pay attention to me saying goodbye *sniff*."
----------------------------------------
Back in Gurak
Ok! Since Leaun said to use appraisal on my stats I'll start with my skills.
Let's look at Liquify, I'm starting to get a hang of this appraisal thing so I focused on saying 'Appraisal:Liquify' in my head.
If it didnt work I would feel like an idiot but in the end appraisal worked the way I wanted it to.
{Liquify}
Base Power: N/A
Failure Chance:100%(-10%)
Type: Chanted Projectile
Projectile Speed: Medium
Effect:Has the ability to kill anyone or anything in 1 hit and bypasses Immortality perk
'Uh huh. Wait where does the perks appear? I dont remember it being presented in stat menu.'
Hmmm let's try 'Appraisal:Perk'. Focusing again I issued the appraisal ability to show my perks and I was presented this screen.
(Hidden)Perks
Immortality-The owner cannot be brought down to less than 1 hp. (This is bypassed by {Liquify}, {Petrify}, {Vaporization}, {Existence Render} and {Implode}
High Speed Regeneration-Lost body parts are almost immeadiately replaced.
Guardian's Privelege-Owner gains Exp points from staying in territory.
Otherworlder-The owner will be notified if another person with the same Perk of |Otherworlder| is nearby.
Reincarnator-Stat points gain each level is doubled.
So since I'm appointed as a guardian and none of the monsters and other creatures will attack me I am not allowed to kill anyone?
Well thats boring but the perk |Guardian's Privelege| let's me gain Exp without lifting a finger so I should be happy, I mean afterall I just reincarnated in the underwater level.
*glub blub blub*
Tsk these leviathans are still here, I wish I had a skill to tell them to fuck off. I heard "Ding" sound and the appraisal skill presented me this skill screen.
{Guardian Transformation Lv 10}
Base Power: N/A
Failure Chance:0%(-10%)
Type: Instant
Projectile Speed: N/A
Effect:The user can transform into any creature in it's domain.
Well thank you Appraisal but I dont think any creature would be able to speak under water and I sure as hell dont want to transform into a leviathan.
As I was having those thoughts I heard singing from a distance. The voice is stunning and from afar I knew it belonged to a girl, she is singing in a language I do not know of. The owner of the voice went nearer and nearer to my location, I saw her black hair and skin that resembles a human's but she had fins attached to her arm, a fish tail and gills on her neck and she's also only wearing a metal breastplate.She still hasnt seen me yet so I took the time to use appraisal on the girl.
Lv 23 (3,564 Exp to next Lv) Female Neraid Hp:48,920 Name: Rucia Ghanar Atk:3,940 Racial Gift: [Against all odds] MgcAtk: 11,930 Skills:{Liquify Lv 1}{Appraisal Lv 5}{Heal Pulse Lv 6}{Disarming Voice Lv 2}{Sing Lv 10}{Hydro boost Lv 8} Def:3,940 Available Stat Points:4 MgcDef:3,940 Mana:450 MvmSpd:1,100 Ki:230 AtkSpd:2.0 Int: 710 Luck:50
Oh since Neraids could sing underwater I'm assuming they can talk underwater as well! Perfect, I'll be using {Guardian Transformation} to copy Neraids.
I was not sure what to do since the only skill I have used so far is appraisal so what I did was focus on the image onee-san before and hope that something happens.
I closed my eyes for 1 min no... 2 minutes now, I didnt feel any change in my body so I'm guessing thats not how it works.
I opened my eyes to find that I have grown a slender arm, silvery long hair and naked breasts.
"Yeeessssssssss!This is a man's romance!"trying not to have a nosebleed because of the melons attached to me I managed to talk and my new voice seems to be alot more like that of a girl's now. It's a cute voice if I do say so myself.Also why did I get these irritating color for my hair! Screw you old man. this is your fault isnt it!
I looked at my surroundings and the leviathans are gone! Weird, why do I feel like something bad is about to happen.
"Hey, you there! That's some nice things youve got there, wanna hang out?" said to me by a male Neraid who is accompanied by 3 other male Neraids.
Oh look cliche bad guys.
