《I Was Reincarnated Into Another World As A Fish》Chapter 1 - Fish For All
Advertisement
Ahhh another day of work finished, time to eat and go to sleep 'sigh'.
That's my routine for the past 3 years and it's tiresome since I have to sit all day in an accounting office.
Something will happen someday so I'll just hang in there for now.
I go to sleep and when I wake up I'm underwater. WHAT? I'M A FISH!
I'm surrounded by thousands of baby fish in a coral reef, there's plenty of light so it's not that deep.
Ah I wanted to be something not in the ocean if I was going to be reincarnated but atleast I'm not in total darkness.
Hmm what's happening there? a gang of orange crabs suddenly appear to the west and ate a lot of fish.
Oh no the predators that feed on hatchlings are here, what do I do?!!
I try to swim but I'm not used to this body so I'm really slow but I need to go to the middle of this school of fish.
I see eels, shrimps and big fish are eating my new species brethren but I can't do anything as I look on to this massacre and feast, I notice a huge crab with 6 claws killing the bigger fish eating us.
This isn't my normal world, ooh the big coral clusters are releasing posion to kill off some predators.
EEEH?! the huge crab just destroyed the coral cluster with a swing off his claw and the shrimps are attacking with air pressure attacks from their big pincers, c-could there be skills here? that's the only explanation for why they're so strong.
The baby fish school is already half way eaten and it doesn't seem like it'll stop soon, I need to gain some skills quick.
Well there's nothing I can do except mental things so I guess I'll meditate, .........

Nothing, AAAAHH they're almost here, AGAIN, I meditate but this time pray to God and swear to not be too much of a sexual deviant.
[holy attribute] [monk title] acquired
Nice but useless right now, I turn to see and there's only a few hundred fish left, damn those crabs are eating too much.
The eels are right there, if only they fought each other, no I'll make them fight.
I command the rest of the fish to go near there but I can't talk, noise is coming out though so I shake furiously to get them to notice as I swim to the middle of the eels and crabs.
[holy light] [swimming] acquired
Some of the fish are following me since I'm glowing now, I yell louder and now there's a decent amount of us as we head on.
The eels notice and attack, I swim into the fish as the eels follow my brightness.
I reach the crabs as make a sharp turn and they 2 groups meet each other.
The eels are stronger than the 2 and 4 armed crabs it seems as they are tearing through them despite taking damage.
rrrrr the sea flore is shaking, a big eel is coming to help them, the crabs are beating on their claws making loud noises, the huge crab with 6 claws runs over pretty quick who knew a crab could be that fast and kills the normal eels.
The big eel lunges at it but the crab defends with 1 big claw like a shield as it takes the smaller claws and holds it down, the eel swing its tail though and smashes the left side of the body sending cracks along the body
The crab is still standing and crushes the eel with 2 big claws, as it throws the eel down it then crushes the head and starts eating it.

[appraisal] [ki] acquired
Woow I got it just like that? my previous world's knowledge and absorbing what's happening around me must be the cause.
The huge crab is molting? it's shining too, appraisal on the crabs.
[small crabs] [medium crabs] [big crabs] [huge crab]
They all have similar skills e.g. running, slicing, crushing, molting, the medium ones have jumping, strenght, cutting and crushing enhancement and big ones have regeneration, air slash and the huge crab has high regeneration, earthquake skills and warrior, leadership titles.
[gigantic crab] it evolved, it grew in size alot and has 8 front claws now with 8 legs and got a lord title.
I'd say it's about 20 feet tall now, every creature is retreating I guess they had enough, the shrimp have been watching the fight too but haven't done anything.
Wew, what a day already, how tense.
There's nothing else to do but live like this, I have to make the best of it even if I'm a fish.

Reality Grants One Chance
Some people are lucky, some aren't, some - have terrible luck. Our "hero" is of the latter kind. During young age he got into an accident, which allowed him to learn the fact that he belongs to a rare group of people.. People diagnosed with lung cancer, which he, however survived. Can't say he's lucky, as his life went downhill from that point... Our story happens years later, when his fate decides to make a loop and throw him in the same kind of accident. He gets hit by a truck. Surviving the crash, suffering just a few scratches, he is ultimately "lucky" to find himself out of the hospital in no time.. however every bit of good luck always brings him terrible luck afterwards. This time pushing him maybe a bit too far.. How far? Making him vanish without a trace and find himself in the middle of an unknown forrest. Doesn't sound bad? He can consider himself lucky? Just wait and see...It can always get worse.. always.. .... Congratulations, you've made it through the intro and into the author note! If you by any chance missed the tags and didn't read the warning, please do that now. I really recommend you to. Before you jump to reading, and unintentionally scar yourself, do mind that the story is about a dark, unforgiving world, a world in which you have more opportunities to die a horrible death, than take a piss. Hero doesn't have great luck, he has dumb persistance, he doesn't go through any trial with a breeze, he pays the price of blood, flesh and tears to live..and will be paying for every mistake.. No one outright explains anything to him, just as us for the most part - he is not sure what the hell is going on.. Some real survival tactics are used as a base of the descriptions, they are as important to the world and character as any other element.. Mind that the story starts really slow, but as the stone starts rolling downhill - the pace gets faster.. Every tag for this novel has a reason to be there, so if you don't see the particular element there, don't panic.. it's either well camoufalged, subtle or simply not encountered as of yet. Big thanks to Hobbo, Enyhrye and Hveth! ...not only pointing that the description could be better, but providing invaluable input.. and being patient enough to give fleshed out advice.
