[Getting used to new environments]

Obsi woke up sensing lots of movement with his echolocation. Cursing the god of sleep he crumbled awake and slithered out of his cave 2.0, outside the movement felt even more deafening. There were quite a few different types of fish, some were grouped together but mostly there were lone scavengers. Taking a minute to get used to it all he began thinking up a plan for today.

I suppose I'll be hunting, a lot. What I need to do is study the species here and go for the easy ones first, although I don't believe any of them are strong there may be other predators lurking around. I also need some exercise, I feel like I'm getting fat.

As Obsi stretched he took note of the physique of the closest group and a few stragglers.

Hmm, I feel like the group wouldn't be too hard of a fight, they feel similar to the speedy fishys but don't seem to pack a punch like they did. One of the few stragglers feels more of a bottom feeder than the others, no natural armor, no toughness I can feel, teeth seem dull. The list goes on, it's like they were made intentionally that bad. Maybe they spit acid? It would probably dissolve in the water. Wait where did it go? Ah, it's already dead. Not eaten though, and I sure as hell ain't touching that, it already seems to rot. Oh, oh fuck that thing has acid after all. Definitely not going near that. What else? The other stragglers seem to be of the same species. Dull teeth, slow but seemingly quite sturdy. Maybe a distant relative of the bulky fishy?

Obsi's toughts went on like that for a while until he remembered what he was supposed to do. Mentally facepalming he started moving, his first target being the bulky fishy's cousin. Creeping close he was only a meter away before he lunged, killing the poor fish with simply his bite.

YOU KILLED A LEVEL 1 'BULKY CLEANER FISH'!

Damn they're weak. Died from simply a bite. And not that fulfilling either, I'd need to hunt at least 10 of them to feel somewhat satisfied. I guess it leaves only the group fish now, they're probably not much better but there's a lot of them. How do I sneak up on them though?

As Obsi observed the group for a few minutes he noticed none of them paying attention to things above them.

I guess I can sneak 'up' on them, patum tssss.That's a horrible joke. And I really don't like the idea of going up. I really need to get rid of my fear of heights, and water since I'm in a damn ocean.

Obsi swam away from the swarm a little, making sure none of them noticed him ascending upwards. When he was about 8 meters from the sea bed he started moving slowly towards the fishy group. Once he was above them he waited for an opportune moment to strike. In a few minutes he noticed the group somewhat dispersing, at that moment he attacked.

In half a second his teeth bit into the flesh of two of the fish, sucking them dry instantly. Moving on he attacked left towards the edge of the still stunned swarm, he had made full use of his title, the fish too terrified to do anything. He bit another fish, grabbing two others at the same time and whipping his tail left and right killing 4 others with pure blunt force. At this point half the group of fish were dead, with only 9 fish left Obsi was confident in victory. He sucked dry the two fish he had crushed in his arms and moved on to attack more of the fish. Finally the fish gained their bearings and started to move, unfortunately for them they were too late and Obsi was too fast, whipping his tail again, killing 3 more fish. He charged the cluster of the remaining four fish, they were too stupid to split up causing two to be sucked dry of blood and the remaining two to be grabbed.

Swiftly crushing the two in his hands Obsi began cleaning up the battlefield, sucking dry the bodies he whipped at with his tail.

YOU KILLED A-

Condense it!

YOU KILLED 11 LEVEL 2 AND 7 LEVEL 3 'DEEP SEA SWARM TUNA'! YOU HAVE EARNED THE SKILL :TAIL WHIP'!

Oh cool, a new skill and I can condense the text. I also got a lot of food from this, I guess this is a viable food source. Next up is exploring this shit filled place.

Obsi started to look around and immediately regretted it. Killing 18 fish in a span of 10 seconds had left a carnage.

Bleeeh! How didn't I notice this before! It looks horrible! And it's ring next to my house! Fuck. If I could throw up I would, but alas gagging is best I manage. Yuck.

Leaving his massacre behind he went scouting.

It had taken 2 hours for Obsi to scout out his surroundings in a half a kilometre radius, most of the time went to hunting and clearing out his immediate surroundings in a 100 metre radius. He also discovered many more species, most of them weren't interesting or were a variation of cleaner fish. One interesting species was a cousin to the sickly acid fish but instead of expelling necrotic acid on death it blew up and expelled extremely corrosive acid, Obsi found it out when he whipped at it with his tail causing it to explode and corrode away nearby stone, luckily for him his tail whip was powerful enough to push the exploding fish away, giving him time to swim away from the acid. The kill notification identified the fish as a level 1 'explosive acid fish'.

Another interesting fish he found was a predator fish going after the weak cleaners, Obsi of course killed it and was disappointed to find it level 3, named 'small nibbler fish'. At least the name fits.

Returning to his hole he was pleased to find that the fish corpses had been removed, even the sickly acid fish had been eaten. Settling into his hole he went over his gains in the day.

+1 LEVEL!

+1 STRENGTH

+1 AGILITY

+2 ENDURANCE

The fish here may be weak but there's a lot of them, today alone I must have killed hundreds of them and I probably didn't even dent their numbers. Also how is the experience calculated? If it's by level alone then I would have gotten more than one level. Ah whatever I'm sure I'll figure it out some day, for now, sleep.

Tuna yummy...
