Chapter 5: What a marvelous world!
Translator: Sigma Editor: – –
Sui Xiong discovered that there was some existence, which could be roughly called the “Dark Magic” influence .
The Giant Whale’s ability to use the ice power was innate . The reason its power could reach such a formidable level in a blink of an eye was the sea situation which was not purely innate and the results of practicing .
Its practice method was absorbing an abundance of dark magic from some place in the oceanic trench deep down the sea .
Sui Xiong actually really wanted to return to the inland to find a human being to clearly inquire what on earth this world was like . But he knew very well that in anywhere at any time, protecting himself was the most important factor . If he couldn’t control his curiosity, even if he was like a cat having nine live, sooner or later he would dig his own grave .
This world was also not safe . It was just only a giant whale but it had already used crafty plots and machinations, then there was no need to mention about the human world .
If there was any dark magic existence in this world, he didn’t know how many other extraordinary superheroes or wicked schemes were there .
Therefore, he needed to strengthen himself and intensify his power to make sure that he could be able to live safely in this world . Even if he wasn’t a champion who was impossibly defeated, , he at least wanted to make sure that he could still run away if he couldn’t win .
After patiently waiting for the ice to melt, he used all the nutrition that he had absorbed from the giant whale to improve as well as enhance this temporary body of his .
This time, he would make this body become much bigger and more elastic . He would increase more tentacles and several propellers, at the same time, give this empty body more water outlets .
If this empty body and these water outlets could make the pressure inside its body equal to the external pressure, then it wouldn’t collapse by the pressure from the sea . When necessary, these water outlets could turn into water holes to sprinkle water . Through sprinkling water, he could urgently change directions, and adjust his body’s posture .
In an intense fight, this was absolutely a must-have .
Sui Xiong remembered back then, before he had jumped space, in those world-wide famous Japanese animations, there were sensationally powerful robots, which probably incorporated the posture called the “Nozzle Controlling Posture”, which was like a stuff more than a posture .
People said that there was an extremely big amount of technical content in these series of animations, which people could use to make a robot (the question about whether or not it could work was another thing), therefore these water holes, could they really work?
It wasn’t bothersome anyway, he could use it when necessary .
The empty body also had other effect, which was used to store other stuffs .
That Giant Horned Whale had left behind a considerable amount of spoils . The sharp single horn contained a hidden formidable icy cold power . Its brain had an icy gem . Not to mention its bones, which were unexceptionally firm, the tough outer layers of them were still undamaged after itdied .
Sui Xiong made use of these resources to once again restructure his body . Even if he couldn’t use up all of these resources, he would pack up the rest and stored it in his body .

Other backpacks were worn on their backs, while his one was hidden in the stomach, which could perhaps be considered as creative .
After fully preparing, he took a big dive deep into the sea, towards the oceanic trench in the giant whale’s memory .
The deep sea became darker and darker . There was as if there was a single light here . However, it was also unsafe for him to go any deeper to the bottom of the sea . According to the giant whale’s impression, it didn’t only encounter the danger in the bottom of the sea once . Therefore, even though it knew that oceanic trench was the Feng Shiu Treasure Land, which could help it enhance its power several times stronger, it hadn’t drop by many times .
After all, although a whale was called a “Fish”, strangely it was not like a fish . It could still come to the surface and breathe . In terms of fighting force and intelligence, this giant whale and the whales on Earth were like day and night . However, they still had this one point in common .
After getting enough air, it could dive in the sea for a really long time . But it was still very dangerous if it had to fight at the bottom of the sea .
Upon this aspect, Sui Xiong wasn’t worried . A spirit didn’t need air to breathe . A jellyfish basically didn’t have a concept of breathing—not to mention, this was a dead jellyfish . Sui Xiong didn’t know why this body hadn’t rotten after dying, instead, he could still jump and run . In short, he completely didn’t need to worry about the lack of air when diving deeper . He could dive for any duration of time that he wanted .
A jellyfish couldn’t see things in the dark . But thanks to the increase in power, Sui Xiong could use his spirit’s sensation to explore the situation around, which was more convenient than the giant whale . Except for the time when he needed to come up to look for food, he spent the rest of the time on searching deep in the sea to find the Feng Shiu Treasure Land in the giant whale’s memory .
On his way, he had encountered giant beasts in the deep sea many times, but he didn’t attack . The body, which had become an exceptionally powerful one after being reformed, was enough to block the attacks from these giant beasts continually . Sui Xiong didn’t follow to them their territories . Every time he saw them, he always took the detour, which avoided the possibility of irritating them .
He just kept swimming . Then unknowingly, he had reached that oceanic trench .
There was a piece of white light strangely enveloping the sea area . At the bottom of the sea, there was a huge rift at the bottom .
The bottom of the sea didn’t have any intense lights inside . But even a spirit could feel an icy cold energy from that . Rocks bristly covered the bottom of the sea with a thick layer of cold frost . If looking closely, the blue and white lights were from this layer of cold frost .
“What exactly has happened?” Sui Xiong whispered to himself, carefully stretching his tentacles, which had been prepared before, one by one, trying to reach the shinning layer of the cold frost .
The tentacles immediately turned into popsicles . The freezing quickly spread to other parts of his body . Luckily, he had soon been prepared for this . these tentacles were different from the other long tentacles . If there was any weak spots on these tentacles, it would be cut off right away .

A long popsicle slowly fell into the sea, which radiated a glowing cold frost . It didn’t explode when falling down but turned into dust scattering everywhere .
Sui Xiong’s head felt numb . He was unconsciously aware that he needed to get away from this hellish place .
No wonder why that giant whale, which had known this place very well, could enhance its power, thus it didn’t dare to come here often . This place was too frightening! If I am careless, this little life of mine will be done for sure!
After hesitating for a while, in the end, Sui Xiong still decided to again approach that blue and white icy cold oceanic trench .
This place is indeed dangerous . However, I just need to pay a little more attention and maintain a certain distance . The extreme danger will be in control . Just like the world where I come from, everybody knows that electricity is dangerous, but there is nobody that doesn’t need electricity .
“Fine, this distance is almost the same . ” After approaching a little bit, Sui Xiong didn’t want to keep going up . Making use of the propellers, which were rotating, to keep his body stable in the water, he started to try absorb that icy cold energy .
This was also not easy . Anyway, he wasn’t born to have an ability to control the giant whale’s ice power . There was a saying that ‘hard work pays off’ . He didn’t know how long he had spent but he had finally succeeded in absorbing the ice energy, at the same time storing it in his body .
This process was a little slow . Luckily, he was getting more and more skillful, the speed of absorbing the ice energy also became quicker . Without noticing the time passing by, he suddenly discovered that inside of the jellyfish’s body, it had also condensed the same gem as the one inside of the giant whale’s head .
“This . . . must be a legendary ‘Magic Stone’? Or a type of ‘Magic Crystal’? If it is the case, can I turn this jellyfish into a ghostly beast?” Sui Xiong found this funny . A dead body, which was possessed by him, could not only jump but could have also changed into a ghostly beast . . . . this world was simply too marvelous!
After finishing condensing the gem called the Magic Stone, his ice energy absorbing speed had increased tremendously . The sea ice energy after being absorbed was then contained into the gem . Sui Xiong started to think about gem-using problem .
The giant whale had used three ice methods . The first one was using the ice energy to form a line outwards, along the sea current making the enemy frozen . Before it was completely compelled by Sui Xiong, it had used this trick .
The second one was scattering the ice energy around its body to form an ice frost armor . When it and Sui Xiong had confronted each other, it didn’t have time to use this trick—of course, not using means that were not useful .
The last one was releasing a big amount of ice energy inside the gem to completely freeze the surrounding sea area . This kind of freezing skill was controllable . Once the giant whale had gotten out of danger, on the contrary, it could re-absorb the ice energy, freely melt the surroundings . No matter how hard the enemy had tried to escape, it still got killed in the end . This was really convenient .
However, the price of using this move was big as well . Once it was used, in a short time, it would completely lose its ice energy . Therefore, the giant whale persistently kept it as a life-saving strike .
According to Sui Xiong, these three tricks were not bad, but they were too boring .
When he had referred to his “Previous Life” experiences, through repetitive searching, he had found two other moves .
The first one, was in using ice to create a blade . These blades could be used as a blade or sword, or could be turned into claws . It could be easily transformed and used, which made it an extremely good weapon .
The second one was using the ice power to transfer force, not forming into an ice block but directly releasing it outwards . Once it hit the enemy, it would immediately freeze the enemy’s body . Although the consumption was not small, its force was more formidable than the giant whale’s ice line . It was simply the best masterstroke kill .
Based on the principle “even a dog has its own name”, Sui Xiong gave these five moves—or it could be called black arts—different names .
Frozen Ray, Freeze Ray, the Great Frost, Icy Blade, Icy Bombardment .
Honestly speaking, these names didn’t sound good . Even though Sui Xiong was the one who had come up with these names, he himself had found them stupid as well .
Although these names were silly, as long as the moves were good, then it was fine .
All these moves needed to use ice power . Along with the Magic Stone formation, Sui Xiong had been constantly collecting ice power . But based in his daily accumulation, the amount of ice power that he could use was not much . As compared to the accumulation speed of the ice oceanic trend, this was simply poles apart .
Through experiments, he had learned some interesting stories: In this type of world, the more that I go down, the more concentrated that the dark power gets . Or in other words, my speed of collecting the ice power will then become faster . On the other hand, the more that I go up, the lesser the dark power’s concentration was . But once I get out of the water, the situation would be reversed . The dark power’s concentration gets denser as I go up, and lesser as I go down .
In short, the level surface of this world had the lowest concentrations of dark power . No wonder, in this shallow place, these sea creatures became a total mess .
What a marvelous world!
Sui Xiong didn’t know how long time had flown . He could feel that the ice energy that he had absorbed from the icy oceanic trench had almost reached its limit . Even if he had absorbed more, that Magic Stone could not afford storing any more of it, it would be the loss of water leakage . These losses of ice energy were not only useless to him . On the opposite, it would hurt his body .
He could guess that his cultivation time was over . Right now, he should go back to the mainland and find other people .

The Mortal Acts
The Mortal Acts is an epic progression fantasy with a lower focus on training aspects and a great focus on discovering new ways of using powers intelligently. I've always been drawn to stories where characters use their powers creatively to overcome opponents and obstacles, and I think all the possibilities can provide a great playground for twists and turns. It's inspired by a variety of media, including Will Wight's Cradle, Hunter x Hunter, and Bioshock, so if you like the creative power use elements from those, come check it out. This is my first serial, and please feel free to leave comments and feedback. For backstory, behind-the-scenes, and other fun stuff, come chat on my discord! Become a patron to read up to 20 chapters ahead here! Blurb: Riven Morell cuts short his regular life at school and home when his mother falls terminally ill. Desperate to find a cure, he travels to Severance Frontier, a desolate land haunted by hordes of ghosts, witches, and demons collectively called the Deathless. But a miraculous cure doesn’t magically fall into his hands. Things are worse in Severance Frontier than Riven had assumed. Ghosts are banding together into armies, demons are kidnapping anyone who strays out of settlements, and witches are enslaving everyone left and right. Riven, of course, gets embroiled in the mess. Missions to curb the Deathless activity are one thing, but when it starts to look like this is just the beginning of a war that extends beyond the mortal realm, Riven has a hard time focusing on why he came to Severance Frontier in the first place. His mother is inching towards death with every passing day, but if he doesn’t face down the Deathless, what little civilization the Frontier holds will be overrun and destroyed. Thankfully, it looked like the Deathless might just hold the secret of the elusive cure.
