[skills and titles]
Obsi woke up startled, feeling wet all over and in a dark cramped space.
Where am I?!
Looking around he remembered his predicament and what had happened yesterday.
Oh. Oh shit. Why was I so calm?! I am a leech under a damn ocean! I hate oceans, how didn't I panic before! I need to find a way out!
He began to make his way out, being overly stressed Obsi didn't notice a small stone poking out and bumped into it.
AAAAAAA! Fuck you stone!
*chomp*
Oooow! It hurts! Damn stone... Where did the stone go? Did I bit it off? Isn't my strength 2? 'status'!
NAME: Obsi LEVEL: 1 RACE: DEEP SEA LEECH (VARIANT) HEALTH: 20 MANA: 190 STAMINA: 20 ATTRIBUTES:
STRENGTH: 2
VITALITY: 2
ENDURANCE: 2
AGILITY: 5
INTELLIGENCE: 17
WISDOM: 19
WILL: 16
My strength is still 2... is it really that strong? Whatever I'm kinda hungry and blood for some reason tastes delicious.
With that Obsi started going back to the direction he remembered the carcass being at. When he arrived he saw that the small fish had done a good number on the carcass, a good chunk of it already eaten.
Did they stay here the whole time and eat? Whatever, I need to eat too. I guess I'll go pick at the flesh eaters since some of them are bigger than the others.
Obsi began to swim towards a single flesh eater. It was the bulky kind and quite frankly seemed delicious. Slowly he stalked towards it, when it was 4 meters away from him he lunged at it, his teeth easily cutting into its body he started sucking out it's blood. After several seconds of struggle the fish was dead and he got a notification.
YOU KILLED A LEVEL 3 DEEP SEA BULK FISH!

Immediately after he got a second notification.
SKILL 'BLOOD SUCKING' HAS REACHED LEVEL 2!
... I have skills? Of course I do, this feels like a game... How do I look at my skills then? Is it like the status screen? Umm, 'skills'?
CURRENT SKILLS:
BLOOD SUCKING LEVEL 2
SWIM LEVEL 4
BITE LEVEL 1
I have skills! They don't seem great but I have skills!
Doing a little happy dance he considered what to do next. If eating live ones gives more experience then I should hunt them more. Plus they're tasty.
With a new resolve he started looking for a second one to eat. Unfortunately for him his antics made all the flesh eating fish and even some bone eating ones wary of him.
I guess I did a small blunder there... Some of the bone nibblers don't seem to pay attention to me, they should be good enough then.
Obsi began to creep towards his second target, this time he went as close to it as he could, the distance between them being two and a half meters, he charged.
*chomp*
Unfortunately he bit into the armored part and got stuck, only his first two rows of teeth penetrating into the fish. Left with no choice but to suck he began, the process was many times slower than usually. As the fish began to thrash the other bone nibblers noticed this and began to swim towards him. Admittedly they weren't that fast, he could easily out swim them but at the moment he was teeth first stuck in their kin who was thrashing around.
oh shit! I gotta do something! Arms! I have arms!
As the first of the fish reached him he grabbed the one he was biting and manoeuvred it between them, making it crash straight into its brethren.

take that!
With a final push he bit further untill the fish in his maw died. With the death of the fish came the notification but Obsi was too busy freeing himself to read it.
As he finally managed to pull his teeth free another of the bone nibblers charged, making him doge left where he was sandwiched between the carcass and a mob of angry fish.
Oh no.
They charged at him, but being fish none of them were smart enough to charge at once, giving Obsi room to doge.
Left, right, left, left again. Bite! Bite?
On instinct he bit into one of the last chargers, getting right between the chitinous armor. Within seconds it was wrung dry and he received another couple of notifications. As the message ringed in his head he pushed the dead fish away and began making his way away from the carcass and back to his resting place.
Upon reaching his 'home' he slumped down and began reading through his notifications.

... I almost died. I have been here for a day and I almost died. What the hell was I thinking... I guess I should just rest for now. Hopefully they don't remember who killed their brethren.
The second day Obsi once again woke up startled, this time to a message.
