Where am I?

...

I feel heavy, like I'm stuck.

...

Okay now I'm feeling claustrophobic.

With that thought he begins to push out with his hands.

*crack*

Huh? Was I in a damn egg? And why is it so dark here?

He begins to try and look for a light source, but after a minute of not finding one gives up. Deciding to just feel with his hands he begins to probe the egg he was in a moment ago.

I really was in a damn egg. Why was I in an egg though? And why does it feel like I'm moving in water?

Suddenly a screen flickers to life.

INITIATION COMPLETE.

"Screee!"

Fuck me that was startling. Hold on, a 'screee'?

"Scree?"

What the fuck.

"Scree!"

That was definitely me. Just what the hell happened?

STATUS ASSESSMENT COMPLETE

Huh? What's this? I'm in a game or something? Let's see... 'deep sea leech'? I'm in the deep sea? Oh no. No, no, no! Absolutely no! I hate seas! And the deep sea is full of terrifying stuff! And I'm in another god damn world! For all I know the fucking Leviathan is real here, fuck that!

After several minutes of venting his anger he finally began to study what was laying before his eyes.

Haaaaaa... Nothing else to do here so I guess I'll just study my status screen. Hmm. I'm guessing my physical stats are low because I was just born, that leaves my mental stats, they're several times higher than my physical stats but they could be bad compared to an average human...

Are there humans in this world? Maybe, maybe not. Guess I'll find out someday. Wait I'm getting side tracked. Sooo, stats looks like a point of vitality equals 10 health, same for endurance and stamina and mana and wisdom. I don't quite get what 'will' is for but it's high so I'm fine with it.

I should probably start figuring out what to do. Food and such will be important since I don't wanna die at the bottom of an ocean. I'm a leech so I'll need to find big fishys to leech off of but how the hell am I gonna find them? Welp, not gonna figure it out with just standing here.

With that he began to study himself. Surprisingly his skin felt though yet flexible to the touch, also he had arms as a leech. Damn I'm fucking terrifying. He also figured out how his body is built, lean and slightly slippery, probably to be hard to get a grip on. He has 6 gill slits on either side of his head, his head itself was similar to that of a leech, the difference being 4 eyes in total and the amount of teeth, he had lot's of teeth. Lot's and lot's of teeth. I have 5, maybe 6 jaws and about 500 to 600 teeth. I'm a dentist's nightmare.

After the self evaluation he began to try and make out a way to orient himself. Several minutes of trying later he had found out that he could kind of sence things around him with the help of water movement. I'm knida like a bat. With a little bit of tinkering he got somewhat used to using his pseudo echolocation.

Now then, I hate to do it but I have to find food, which means I have to swim, in the depths of an ocean. I hate this so much.

Several minutes of convincing himself later he was beginning to swim around, finding it almost instinctual. He began to try and use his echolocation ability to sence the sea bed and look around.

I have four god damn eyes and none of them work.

Half an hour later he found a carcass of an animal which look to be around the size of a bus. Around the carcass were many small- compared to him- fish that seemed to be feasting on it, some were munching it's flesh, other were scurrying around its stomach and some were nibbling on its bones.

After motionlessly observing the action for a few minutes he began to go closer.

It sound absolutely disgusting but I wonder what it tastes like.

When he arrived the smaller animals gave him a wide breadth. Even the somewhat armored bone nibblers were keeping a distance.

Am I am apex predator or something?

He found it hard to believe since looking at the other fish they seemed to be stronger than him, the bone nibblers were armored and had a jagged head extending into a spike, the group of fish near the stomach were fast and had tails that could hit hard, evidenced by small dead fish around them. The last were the flesh eaters, they composed of different species, one had an open maw with quite a few teeth, another was relatively bulky. All were positively dangerous.

Is it because of my teeth? Me being a leech? Or because I look bigger than them?

Whatever it was he continued on until he found himself Infront of a dead still bleeding small fish.

Before he could even register what happened he was sucking on it.

What the hell?! I didn't even think of eating it! ...Although it is delicious.

Within seconds the corpse was sucked dry and tossed out of his mouth.

Damn, that's fast. The body looks two times smaller now and it's still about the size of quarter of my tail. And it was delicious.

What followed was a streak of sucking dry bodies of dead fish around the stomach swarm.

+1 LEVEL!

+1 STRENGTH

+2 AGILITY

...Huh? Oh, a level up. Neat.

After sucking dry three more corpses he began to wander around the giant carcass and think

Now that I have food I'll need shelter. That shouldn't be too hard since the sea bed has rocky outcrops here and there. After that I'll need to consider what to do... How am I even so calm in this situation? I guess the sea isn't that scary when I can sence the sea bed right below me.

He began to look around for a shelter to rest at and after a quarter of an hour of searching came upon an outcrop big enough to hide him and give good cover. With a resting place found he laid down and began to think.

Now then, what to do? I guess I can look at my status screen... How do I open it? Just say it out loud or something? ...hmm 'status screen'.

So my stats did change, I did feel somewhat faster thanks to the +2 agility.

...

I'm an idiot aren't I? I still don't have a name... Haaaa, I guess no time like the present. But what should I name myself? Based on my looks I'd say something related to rocks, granite maybe? Bedrock? Nah, too unimaginative. Obsidian maybe? Yeah, I like obsidian. I'll name myself Obsi!

DO YOU WISH TO SET YOUR NAME TO 'OBSI'?

BEWARE IT CAN'T BE CHANGED

Yes, I guess?

CONGRATULATIONS YOUR NAME IS NOW 'OBSI'!

"Schreeh!"

I'm tired. I'll go to sleep and think about this later.

...

The water feels like a comfy blanket...
