Chapter 10
550words
The sun shone through the window, hitting on my face. I felt the warmness coursing through me. Birds were chipping merrily outside the window.
I suddenly set up. My body was unharmed. I had no scales, no gills, nor fins.
My neck was clean as before.
Was I dreaming? Was it really all just a dream?
I picked my phone up. The Echoes from Below application was gone. I could not find the forum either.
The only thing I saw was a message in my inbox from someone unknown.
[Congratulations.]
I was stunned. What was I being congratulated for?
I walked over to the bathroom and turned the tap on to wash my face. Just when I cupped some water in my hands, I heard voices.
Countless voices.
"I'm starving."
"Help."
"I really want to go home."
Those voices were coming from the water, from every molecule in the water.
I looked at myself in the mirror. My eyes had turned a deep, dark blue, and slit-shaped like a predator.
I opened my mouth. Under my tongue lay a small, glowing tumor pulsing softly. It was the core of the God of the Seas.
I had not killed it, neither had I escaped.
In that violent fight, we fused together. Its colossal body had collapsed, but its consciousness and power had spilled into me, merging with mine.
I was human, but I was also the new God of the Seas. Not only could I hear the voices of all those who had gone through Deep Sea-fication, but I could also control them.
The application didn't disappear. It was just in my brain. If I wanted to, I could broadcast it to the entire world at any moment.
However, I was not going to be like that idiot, only hungry for food. I looked at the new me in the mirror and smirked.
In the past, I had to be obedient. I was at the mercy of everyone.
I had become the top of the food chain.
That feeling was quite amazing.
At that moment, my phone rang. It was my boss.
He bellowed, "Lily Rogers! Why are you still not at work? Do you want to get fired? Believe me when I say…"
In the past, I would have timidly apologized. However, at that moment, I merely whistled into the phone.
It was a special frequency, mimicking the Predator's Song, but more inconspicuous and deathly.
He was suddenly silent.
Then, he screamed, "Water? Why is there water?! Help! My lungs!"
He gurgled as he hung up.
I placed my phone down and adjusted my blouse. Since I had taken over the Echoes from Below radio application, I was going to manage it properly.
I had to change the first rule.
[This station's signal may extend into reality. If you see a monster in real life, please firmly believe that it's your neighbor.]
I pushed the door open and walked into the sun.
Although I had become the ruler of the seas, who said that the God of the Seas could not be in the sun?
As long as I was still me, all would be well.
