《LitRPG: Regarding that time I was Reincarnated as a Deep Sea Angler Fish. It was terrifying.》Chapter 3: Conflicting Ideologys
Advertisement
The food that I"ve just recently ate was quickly starting to weigh me down, and I slowly floated downwards towards the bottom of the ocean sea floor.
As my body hits the ground, it would then send outward a small flurry of sand all around me.
Without me even noticing, a lone figure then approaches towards my direction. It was then that a large figure emerges out from withinside the cloak of darkkness, where the lights emitted off from the bio luminesce bacteria does not reach.
Its massive body, thrice my size, then enters my line of sight.
"What is that?" I thought so to myself.
The creature"s face was extremely ugly, quite hideous even, much worser than the a wrinkled old goblin. As it is the face of nightmares in which even children won"t dream of.
The deep sea creature has a somewhat large gelatinous, mostly scaleless, globose body, but an exceedingly large head that encompasses the most of its own body.
Generously, complemented with its menacingly large, sharp, razor fang like teeths lining the jaws of a cavernous oblique mouth.
Its round black pearl like eyes are as deep as the abyss, not reflecting an ounce of light.
[That is the female counterpart of the deep sea Black Sea Devil Angler Fish race.]
[The female deep sea Black Sea Devil Angler Fish are generally two to three times larger than the average male counterpart. With the entire female population being almost a third of the entire male Black Sea Devil Angler Fish population.]
[However, the female Black Sea Devil Angler Fish growth rate is much slower than the average male deep sea Black Sea Devil Angler Fish, but it"s combat potential far exceeds the male Black Sea Devil Angler Fish in terms of hunting method, thereby making it an awesome deep sea predator, whilst the male deep sea Black Sea Devil Angler Fish is non-existent.]
The System A.I gave me some concrete facts about the female deep sea Black Sea Devil Angler Fish race.
It was then that the "fishing lure" that is attached to the female Black Sea Devil Angler Fish back dorsal spine, then came into sight, and immediately gave away what this hideous deep sea creature is.
After a while, an unceasingly tired feeling then began to wash over me. Possibly mental fatigue over having to process everything that has occurred to me today, so I then decided to rest up for bit.
I then laid quietly on the ground, at the bottom of the ocean sea floor, about to take a short nap, an eye raiser.
It was then that I immediately realised the dangers of going to sleep, unprepared, and I will be left defenseless for other deep sea fish or aquatic beast. An easy target for the killing.
"It"s not feeling safe." I thought to myself.
I"ve then decided to dig a small tunnel in the ground and sand, then steadily buried my whole body beneath the large pile of sand as camouflage, and leaving a small part of my head above ground so that it won"t impaired and affect the oxygen from getting into my gills.
My little black fish head sticking out from the ground, just roughly a centimeter or two in size, which seems hardly out of the ordinary because my outward appearance now resembles a small black pebble.

Deep sea fishes normally have bad eyesight within the dark, and normally relies on other senses in order to catch their prey.
When compared to many other deep sea fishes, my small body size could hardly be called an appetiser, but rather a mere snack leading towards the main course of meal.
The female deep sea Black Sea Devil Angler Fish would usually used the light that is emitting off from their fishing lure in order to attract their preys towards the light.
Whilst, the male deep sea Black Sea Devil Angler Fish would have unusually strong noses in order to detect the presence of pheromones emitting off from the bodies of their female counterpart, in order to search for a mate in this vast ocean waters.
I slowly closed my eyes, laying them to rest, as I patiently wait for the food in my stomach to digest.
The food within my body was slowly breaking down by the stomach acids of my stomach, and thereby being turned and converted into nutrients in order to sustain my body.
And after a while, whilst I was sleeping and my body being submerged slightly below ground.
I suddenly caught onto the strong scent of something within the ocean water, it smelled a bit irony and metallic, as it strongly wafted my nose
Male deep sea Black Sea Devil Angler Fish definitely have a much stronger nose so that it can caught onto the female Black Sea Devil Angler Fish"s pheromones, within the deep ocean waters. So it makes the male deep sea Black Sea Devil Angler Fish to be excellent scouters and trackers in the deep sea ocean environment.
Due to me being in a sleepy drowsiness state, it took some time definitely in order for my brain to process things.
"This smell..." I thought to myself.
It was then that it suddenly hit me, my brain was suddenly jolted back awake, with all the drowsiness within my body gone within a second.
The feeling is akin to having a chilli pepper, a strong enough stimulus that is able to shock your body into being fully awake.
"Blood! This familiar smell is non other than blood!" I said in great alarm, as my closed eyes was forcibly opened wide.
And after I immediately opened my eyes, with as little light emitting off from the bio luminesce bacteria, I could steadily see trails on trails of fresh blood and bits of pieces of meat floating a midst the deep ocean waters.
"What happened here?" I first thought.
And then I thought, "Something must have happened here for there to be so much carnage."
"So how long was I out for?" I asked myself.
What I didn"t know at the time was that the carnage has already started way before I begun to take a nap.
Since food was extremely scarce at the bottom of the ocean depths, and is quite hard to obtained. Much of the smaller deep sea fishes and young soft molded crustaceans would resolve to cannibalism and killing each other the moment that they are born.
The resulted experience points that they gained from their session of killings would then accelerate their growth towards juvenile or pre-adolescent stage of their species.

However, for the male deep sea Black Sea Devil Angler Fish who was born already much weaker than their female counterpart. Their only hope to survive is to kill each other in order to fill their stomachs or hopefully find a much smaller sea creature hidden within the depths to hunt.
An adult full-grown female deep sea Black Sea Devil Angler Fish would lay a couple of hundred of thousands up to a million of eggs yearly in order to presevere the prosperity of their race.
With the extremely high numbers of Black Sea Devil Angler Fish eggs, it would definitely ensure that a couple of male Black Sea Devil Angler Fish would then survive until adulthood.
However, a problem has occurred amongst the few surviving members of the Black Sea Devil Angler Fish.
"How dare you guys are willing to kill your own brethrens in cold blood, just to satiate your own hunger!" A female deep sea Black Sea Devil Angler Fish shouted at a group of male deep sea Black Sea Devil Angler Fish.
The female deep sea Black Sea Devil Angler Fish was quite young, somewhat recently hatched out from her egg, but her already Underdeveloped body is already two to three times bigger than an ordinary male deep sea Black Sea Devil Angler Fish when they first hatched.
The female deep sea Black Sea Devil Angler Fish was being accompanied by a few female deep sea Black Sea Devil Angler Fish.
However, on the opposition team, they are steadily being surrounded by a large group of somewhat juvenile and infant deep sea male Black Sea Devil Angler Fishes.
They may seem somewhat imposing due to their large numbers, but when compared to the overall size of a small group of female deep sea Black Sea Devil Angler Fish. Its like sending in a whole army of mices versus a pact of cat.
No matter how many male deep sea Black Sea Devil Angler Fish you have in your group, it would never be able to face a full grown adult female deep sea Black Sea Devil Angler Fish.
A male deep sea Black Sea Devil Angler Fish then retaliated, "What give you the right to judge us when you were fortunately born female, and we"re not."
"Yeah, that"s right." Another male deep sea Black Sea Devil Angler Fish agreeing with the first male deep sea Black Sea Devil Angler Fish that manages to raise his voice.
A female of the Black Sea Devil Angler Fish race then arose in opposition towards the male side, "So you guys chose the easy path towards cannibalism of each other rather than working hard for your food. Pathetic!"
The female deep sea Black Sea Devil Angler Fish insulted the entirety of the male deep sea Black Sea Devil Angler Fish race.
A male deep sea Black Sea Devil Angler Fish then refuted back in great frustration, "You guys would certainly not understand what we need to in order to survive."
"Have you guys not seen the National Geographics about deep sea angler fishes." A male deep sea Black Sea Devil Angler Fish said, "We"re nothing more than sperm bank and donors to be used or disposed of by the female"s of our kind."
"You..." The female deep sea Black Sea Devil Angler Fish was extremely disgusted at whatever she just heard, but found no words to fight back against those obvious facts.
Whilst, the arguments were going on, carnage still continues, as the males deep sea Black Sea Devil Angler Fish continues to murder their own kind, out of the need for survival.
And there is a few female deep sea Black Sea Devil Angler Fish that are hunting much smaller male deep sea Black Sea Devil Angler Fish in order to fill up their stomachs, and readily speeding up the personal growth of their bodies.
"It would seem that only a small population of the entire deep sea Black Sea Devil Angler Fish is capable of communicating with each other, and the rest is just basically surviving on just basic instincts alone." I thought so to myself, based upon my closed observation of the live specimen.
"Could it possibly be that they are Reincarnators which would certainly explained for their high intelligence rate, capable of communicating with each other. And who would literally care about killing a relative as much as us humans and their morals." I inferred.
I couldn"t care less about the other deep sea Black Sea Devil Angler Fish of my kind, killing each other, as I have also done it as well.
The loud ruckus caused by the two opposing gender group may attract the attention of the other deep sea creatures. So I then decided to immediately intervene and stop the argument before it escalates any further.
I then said out loud, "This here is the deep sea ocean, the vast expanses of the ocean, not the once peaceful country that you onced knew."
"And within the wild, it is the survival of the fittest. As the strong one then devours the weak, with the weaker one having no choice but to accept the fact and be eaten. It is the law of the jungle." I said.
After having finished what I was saying, I then immediately left the facility in search of some food.
Not so long after I left, the argument then soon comes to an end. With the two opposing groups eventually turning into their own factions, with the same goal and common interests in mind.
After some time, a steady group of twenty or so male deep sea Black Sea Devil Angler Fish then follows rightfully behind me.
The leader of the group of male deep sea Black Sea Devil Angler Fish then calls out to me. "Hey, wait a minute! Can you please stop and possibly listen to what I have to say."
After hearing the familiar voice of another behind me, I then immediately stopped swimming forwards, right within my tracks. I then turned my body around.
"I recognise that voice." I thought so to myself.
After recognising tge originator of that voice, I thought. "It"s the leader of that male deep sea Black Sea Devil Angler Fish group."

Binary of Life and Death
Monsters, gold, chaos, glory, adventure, what more could attract two of the greatest players of all time to Sugarea, the most popular MMORPG of its time. But everyone makes errors, and unfortunate for these two brilliant players, they have made the grave mistake of not actually sleeping like normal humans and missed out on the very moment the new Dark Legion update would take effect. Or did they? They wake in what seems familiar yet not, but they soon realize their predicament. They are inside their game avatar's bodies! A half-Demon and a Dragonoid are now struggling with more than just power, these two men have to find their new purpose and calling in a completely different world. Will they concur it like ordinary land or will they enlighten the planet into equality? Do figures pull strings in the dark or is everything open to the public eye? Nothing is certain except the unknown, and nothing is ever as it seems... This is an Isekai story, as such, some parts may sound either cliché or similar to others, but I assure you, I tried to prevent that. To make it known, I took quite a lot of inspiration from the light novel/anime Overlord, but that doesn't mean it's a direct rip-off of it. You'll find there to be quite the amount of differences. Just a little heads up as well, you should expect irregular uploads, as it takes me a long time to write each chapter. I am currently trying for once every other week on Sundays around 10:00 A.M. Chapters are usually 7k words and up, with the longest (chapter 3) being 10.3k words. So, if you like to sit down and read a long chapter every two weeks at 10:00 A.M. EST on Sundays, then you can waste your time here! Small disclaimer: Profanity is far and few between, and mostly used by side characters, rarely the main character. When something with gore happens, I describe to the best of my ability, which will only get better the longer I write this... :) Small cuts between perspectives happen, and can hide what some characters do, which will be revealed in future chapters, I'm not that lazy... all the time... There are some parts that are long blocks of text, most, if not all, of them, are characters talking, but I try not to info dump. I know one of the tags says "Psychological", and for the most part, it is, but it's not as prominent as other stories, instead, it's more hidden and scattered, but I did try to make the pieces I did reveal all fit together. Cover art is bound to be changed when I have a good picture to use, so the Yin-Yang is a placeholder for now unless yall wanna gimme something to use *wink wink nudge nudge*. So yeah, please give it a try, as I have nothing better to do with my life, and I am banking solely off of a career in literature and am hoping that I can create a story that can actually be called something more than a child's imagination running wild. The eventual and inevitable end to the story won't be for a long while, at least till chapter 40 or so. I have thought long and hard about the message and themes at play, so I hope you, the reader (who has some amazing hair btw), can enjoy and partake on this adventure with me into my dark empty pit of an imagination.
