《Evolution-From the Bottom to the Top》Chapter 10- It's like Plague Inc. without the tapping!

---Location: Azorinth Ocean ( Deep ): Diisan Current: Omnivorous Blue Spiked Whale's stomach---
I don't know how long I stood there gaping at my status screen. Five, ten minutes maybe? It showed an incomprehensible difference between the previous screen and the present status. I realize how pointless it was to continue to stare and looked around. The same red blood vessal. Although, it's starting to turn a bit grey. I know that this means that the body's breaking down. I move to the outside the body and confirm what was happening. The whale's stomach was absorbing the shrimp as the body started to disintegrate into white particles. Something appeared by the bottom of the stomach. It was too far away to make out, but it seemed to be...a book? I quickly dart over using Swim to take a closer look.
As I travel over, the sounds of trapped animals, muffled by the water, could be heard. Another roar was sounded, but was much more weak. I turned my attention over and was competely shocked. It was the same duo of the shark and the silvery fish. For now, I'll call it Silver. Great naming technique, right? I obviousy came up with it. You use a physical or emotianal traits to name them. Anyway, back to the problem at hand. I Swim faster and hope that they don't notice me. They're still having a life or death battle, and many of the other aquatic species had to look away and try not to get hurt, while also escaping the whale's dietary acids. By the way, the whale's stomach is like the size of about 300 meters by 350 meters. It was absolutely huge, even with the millions of magnitized species, there was still room for more.
I finally reached the book thing, and tried to inspect it. Surprizingly, there was no signs of water damage or anything else for that matter. It looked completely new and not used. It was clean, without the speck of dust on it(It's in water, Duh!), with not even stomach acids on it. As I tried to inspect it more, I suddenly got a huge migraine and stopped what I was doing. I didn't notice that the book disappeared in a similar fashion to the shrimp's body. But instead of the particles simply vanishing, it went straight into me
I realized that it was showing a couple of notices again.
[Notice: Due to you not knowing the language, you have been given the Epic tier skill, Language Translater. Able to discern any known language and speak it as if there were a native all their life. Note: Great for students]

[Notice: The Skill book used was the Uncommon skill, Water Ball. Like fire ball, except water. Note: What'd you expect?]
Was it me or is the system starting to talk more.
[Notice: ... Note: Totally not]
...Okay then... The realization soon came.
'Wait a minute. I actually have real magic!?!?!'
You see, all the other spells weren't really magic. It simply acted as life saving tools needed at the moment. All the other skills were really just something that a regular Amoeba would have on Earth. Just many times more exajurated..and without Darkvision and the otherr Cell Creation spells...Ok maybe I did have some magic spells. But that was besides the point! I immediately tried it out. Of course at the whale, silly!
'Water Ball!' I internally shouted. Why you ask? Because its cool. Ask any otaku and weeb, any person who enjoys fantasy stories with skills why. Don't ask me. I'm just the slave! Oh sh*t, breaking the forth wall again.
The Water Ball shot forward towards the inner stomach of the whale.
-46
Awesome! That's gotta be a lot of damage right?
[Water Ball leveled up]
Just one shot to level up? Awesome!
[Notice: Your attacks only have attained this much damage from hitting an internal organ, from the inside. Note: In other words, you suck ass.]
Ok now its just insulting me. There was a slight roar and a shuffling. Any creature inside knew that the whale was in pain. They all looked for the culprit. Everybody instantly stopped their battles. Before the whale had gobbled everybody up, the sea creatures of the Deep have made a pact. Anybody who attacks the whale from inside shalll be killed first and offeredtheir body to appease the whale. You see, when a whale is attacked, even from the inside, it instictively moves its internal organs over by it's ribcage to protect them. While doing that, it also speeds up the digestive rate to help the whale to gain speed to escape or fight. The pact was made so they could potentially make the aggressors body speed up the process while also getting rid of them.
However, when they all scanned the stomach for the aggressor, it didn't show. The sea creatires started to become uneasy. They thought that either the creature was too fast to see, or they possessedthe magical ability to hide themselves with invisibility. The creatures instantly started to work with each other looking for the attacker, but you might be wondering why they would trust each other when they haven't even talked to each other. It's because they had all seen each other in the battle. And the whale couldn't be attacked from the outside because it was in the nuetral zone, the Diisan Current.

So creatures who could shoot things like ink clouds and use echolocation started to use their abilities to the max trying to figure out where the attacker went. The ink for invisiblity and the echolocation also for invisibility but more for fast moving creatures. The other aquatic monsters surrounded the 'scouts' in a somewhat 'professional' formation.
Seeing this, I started to fear for my life. I kept thinking that they would eventually find me I quickly pulled my awareness back towards my body not paying attention to anything. I only realized how much of a boon it would really be later.
Without my awareness focusing and making it so I stayed stationary and not go with the mini currents inside the stomach created by the movements of the monsters, I slowly made my way down, right near where I used Water Ball on the whale. Due to it moving its organs, if one were to look, they could see the internal structure of the whale. Because it was moving relatively quickly, it created a very small vacuum. It was so small that only very small particals that were near the cut made it through including our protaginist.
An Aquatic Snake Bat or commonly known as the Small Water Wyyvern, was using his Uncommon skill, echolocation, when he saw the fissure, but thought nothing of it. Thinking that it was probably just part of the whale's body, he let the matter go and continued to search for that accursed thug that attacked.
Back to the protaganist:
When Grim extended his awareness out to see why the creatures haven't killed him yet, he found out that without him realizing it, he had once again found himself in another, much larger, blood vessal. There were many more blood cells present, but the vessal still appeared to be the same as the shrimps. Still very fleshy and redish pink. Suddenly, Grim thought that he felt danger and looked over to his right. A couple of white blood cells were traveling over. Grim instictively knew that they were here to stop him and wondered why the shrimp's immune system didn't work. Oh right, because he was torn in half. By this point, even the blood cells have become monsters, albeit, very weak ones that cannot live without the body. They lived in a symbiotic relationship.
Anyway the very large white blood cells loomed closer and closer until Grim could see their insides squishing about in their . Of course Grim couldn't care less at the moment and was deciding what to use to destroy the enemy cells. {Authr Note: Cell warfare, the next Big Thing!}
He figured that Water ball, even at level 2 was overkill, so he decided to use one of his other skills.
'Hmm? Chemical Creation? Oh right. I had used that when I had my first meal. Ugh, just thinking about food makes me hungry. Whatever, I'll just use that.'
Grim selected Chemical Creation and immediately felt something stir in his body.
'If I'm correct, then it shoulg be my Food Vacoule. I wonder why it's creating it. Meh, whatever.'
I started to build up the chemicals, compounding them into a very unstable and concentrated form. I block all exits for it to escape.
The blood cells were within a couple of meters when Grim suddenly and spontaneously released it all in their direction. It wasn't actually painful when he opened his body. It felt more like when you are very sweaty from doing an intense lower body workout and then try to lift your arms after not using them for a while. It felt wierd to say the least.
Back to the fight. I actually had no idea what was in the chemical or what made it up and that sparked my interest to have a look at it later. The White Blood Cells, already weak, were instantly destroyed. But seeing how easily the White Blood Cells died, the remaining chemicals still had to go somewhere. So they latched onto the Red Blood Cells traveling. It should be known if you don't have a basic grasp on the human body, or any mammal body really. Blood is extremely important. There are two main types. White and Red. White protects the body and is part of the immune system while the Red transports nutrients all throughout the body. So what happens when an extremely dangerous chemical latches onto the Red Blood Cells while they transport themselves all throughout the body, including the most important parts like the heart and brain? Total and instant death as soon as it reaches there. Grim only looked dumbly after them while releazing this.
'Huh...this is really like that game I used to play. I wonder what it's name was again. Hmm...'
