Ocean Master

"The Doppelganger test starts now!"

Once the Sea King's will wrote this, in all the domains where the predators and Atlantians were transported to, a change took place as what seemed like a giant golden clock appeared above their heads.

Tick! Tock!

Tick! Tock!

{06days: 23hrs: 59mins: 35secs.} 

"…"

These Atlantians and beasts felt their hearts freezing, they were actually in a time limit when the requirements of this test were such an unconventional one.

Unconventional in the sense that every one of them turned into a perfect replica of the species that they either disdained, hated, or discriminated against. 

No one expected this.

It was a nightmare!

…

"F*ck! How is this possible in one week?!"

"Is this Sea King's will sick in the head?!"

Sebastian was already finding it hard to accept the circumstances that he found himself, with the Sea King's will adding this unexpected variable, it succeeded in flipping him out as he lashed.

Though he tried to act unaffected, Sebastian could not deny the fact that he was affected terribly by the current circumstances.

For some reason that he did not know, he suddenly felt scared due to the current circumstances.

For months, Sebastian already spent a lot of effort to acclimatize to living comfortably as a Megalodon. Suddenly being thrown back to life as his previous species, he felt hellishly uncomfortable.

Though he was comfortable with the growth prospects for dissection that Oceania placed on the table, not one day went by since his transmigration that he did not think of the mystery of his reincarnation.

Some days, he even fantasized about what it felt like to be human again.

Now, in the most inexplicable manner possible, he was a human again. It was only now that he knew how unprepared he was to become a human again.

Before, having experienced the advantage that came with a huge beastly body with a terrifying defense that was formed by his dense muscles, his magic domain, and the prospect of getting stronger through evolution, suddenly entering a lesser body left him feeling insecure.

Of course, the Doppelganger and Invisibility King had never seen a human in his life, or so Sebastian thought so his current form was not that of a base human, he was now a magic-wielding Atlantian.

On his hand was the trademark weapon of most Atlantian soldiers, a blue-tipped Magic Trident with numerous magic circuits all over its surface to enable easier transfer and use of magic power.

In just a few seconds, he was no longer a Megalodon but was now one of the enemies that he's been planning on destroying to get the ultimate inheritance.

Though Sebastian did not expect anything of the sort that just happened, his current specie and the magic weapon on his hand revealed unique advantages that alleviated the tension in his heart a bit.

Perhaps, he was not as defenseless as he thought.

-------------------------------

On seeing this, Sebastian fell silent.

On one hand, he felt relieved that he was able to maintain the connection to his system and on the other hand, though he already expected it, his status changed in a lot of ways that felt piercing to his eyes.

Against all odds, even though his enormous 15-meter body was now gone and his current size was merely that of an average Atlantian soldier, his body was still able to contain 3 of his most basic stats.

His power and speed stat were both intact. His constitution stat reduced a lot which was plausible considering his current small and fragile body.

Atlantian soldiers, even their Gold Realm powerhouses seldom relied on their bodies for defense, it was their powerful well-designed magic armors that took care of this problem due to their magic control over the origin magic.

The consolation for the decrease in his constitution stat was the increase in his mind stat. This increase was not just in a figurative term, Sebastian could feel it.

As soon as he arrived in this virtual-reality domain, he could already feel it, that predatory instinct that already sprouted and developed a lot in his mind was suppressed.

A more rational and natural human mind that he was familiar with returned.

He didn't know how the Sea King's light magic virtual-reality domain could do this, but all Sebastian could comment on it was awesome!

He felt like a pilgrim who had been stuck crossing the Sahara Desert for over 2 decades, where he had to adapt to a barbarian lifestyle to survive.

Now, after so long he finally returned. And after returning, for the first time in decades, he stood in a bathroom as the freshwater from a refreshing shower bath washed his body clean of all dirt.

The feeling at that point could only be described as heavenly!

That was exactly what Sebastian felt.

It was okay for him to keep his ambitions to dissect every beast in this world, but Sebastian never knew how degraded his consciousness was already till now.

It was okay to live in a world of killing other predators each day for food, but rest was a miracle tonic. At this moment when Sebastian was alleviated from all the stress of cannibalism, he felt his mind becoming super relaxed.

The peace in his mind at this moment was so relaxing that, if possible, he never wanted to leave this state.

Instinctively, he raised his hand to welcome the warm embrace of the sun. He had missed this natural phenomenon too much already.

After minutes of adjusting his mind, Sebastian finally calmed down.

This was when he focused on the other changes that were displayed in his current system status. 

Before looking, Sebastian already expected that he would lose some of his skills since he no longer had the corresponding body to make use of them. 

Of course, there was no way for him to use his shredding bite skill when the relevant rows of teeth were no longer there nor were, he able to use his electroreceptors since the relevant organs and body mechanisms were not there.

What made him most grateful was that he retained his Water Transmutation unique skill, this was a trump card that he felt super reluctant to dismiss.

The sight of it alone was a psychological comfort to him.

On the thought of his unique skill, this was when he remembered and quickly narrowed down on his changed mana stat.

After the transformation, his mana stat changed from the original mana points that it was and was now mana stamina.

He was not too shocked on seeing this though, this was because Tonado already gave him the relevant knowledge and he also already made some inferences after his interaction with Atlantians.

Unlike mutated beasts who had a magic organ to store mana, variant humans were not blessed in this aspect and could not.

To harness the power of the origin magic, variant humans adapted and learned to use specific techniques to directly harness the origin magic without relying on an internal magic organ.

Of course, this method had fewer prospects than having a magic organ, but through repeated practice, variant humans managed to increase their proficiency in harnessing the origin magic to terrifying levels.

Sebastian never practiced this proficiency, but at this moment, he felt that all the relevant knowledge to harness the origin magic was in his head.

He understood the reason for this. Learning the relevant knowledge was not something that could be done in a week, so the Sea King's will of course had to improvise to make sure that all the candidates had a shot at winning.

As for his species reflecting as Atlantian in the system, Sebastian could only associate it with the dead Sea King's terrifying achievements with the light domain.

After making all these inferences, Sebastian finally calmed down, all his fear and apprehension were already gone to be replaced by tranquility and confidence.

He took a deep greedy suck of breath at the air that was everywhere before directing a look at the towering mansion peak that was barely visible from this distance, then he revealed a grin.

For this test, he gave himself a codename.

"I am…, Agent S".
