YM778.TV Chapter 3: The River King!
3 The River King!
"Hmm it doesnt come out yet, it also look somewhat different than the last two, this one is a little bit bigger and has whiskers. Is it probably a evolved form? Maybe its too dangerous to lu-"
FLOOSH
The big fish jumped out of the River shining brightly with his yellow colored skin and magestic whiskers, his body was way bigger than it looked outside of the river and it had two pairs of strong limbs to walk with, it was completely different to any Walking Fish that I have ever seen.
"Guuaaaaaahh!! This guy is massive! I dont want to die! I dont want to die! Maximum speed!!!"
Fuosh
Just as I started using all my Stamina on my speed to run as fast as I could the fish followed me very closely, it was oddly fast for his massive size!
"It really wants to eat my fatty meat! I cant keep up! Hes gonna catch me! What do I do? What do I do? How could I have such bad luck! Damned minus two Luck stat!!"
GLUOOP CHOOMP CHOOMP
The Big Fish tried to gulp me multiple times but I was able to avoid it very closely.
"This damned bastard! he really wants me!! uuuuaaaahh!!! Active Thread Manipulation!"
I threw a massive line of thread to the closest tree and was able to get out of his range, finally in a safe space I looked down.
"Gueehh.. This bastard doesnt give up doesnt he? But he cant climb trees anyways, right?"
Just as I said that the Big Fish Limbs formed paws and little claws came out of his fingers, and without hesitation its started climbing at full speed!
"WHAT?! Are you kidding me? this is a joke right?! Thread manipulation!!"
I climbed to a farway branch but the damned bastard followed me and started to climb to my direction.
"GAH! You damned fish! know your place!!! Thread Manipulation!"
With anger I went to another branch but the Big Fish keept following me.
"What do I do? It doesnt give up and its not running out of air at all (or water?) why is it not suffocating? Can they stay fully in the ground when they evolve? Thats a unfair cheat! I tell you!"
GLUUOPP GLUOOP CHOOOMPP
The fish suddenly jumped over and almot got me!
"GUUAAH!! Dont scare me like this you bastard! Damn it! I wish I had long range attacks! with just WEAK BITE I cant do shit to him while I run! Wait, what if I use my thread to attack? But how?! I gotta grab something with it first, and then hit him with it but what?!"
I started looking around me for any rock but my little vision couldn help so I finally decided to use SPIDER\'S 8 EYES to increase my range of vision.
"Active SPIDER\'S 8 EYES!"
Fuoosh
"Agh.. Ah! there it is! a medium sized rock! please Strength stat dont dissapoint me this time! Uuuoooohhh!!"
I threw a strong thread over the rock and wraped it with it, then I used my full force and moved the rock to the fish right on his stupid face!
BAAM!
"GLUUUUOOOOOP!"
While blood sprouted from his face, as if in extreme pain, the Fish yelled to the heavens!
"Hahaha! why do you cry so much you bastard? Never felt pain in your life you evolved idiot?! HUUUMMMPPP!!"
I used my full force again and moved the rock back to me. Then I throw it again right on his face for a second time!
BAAAM!
The big fish struggled but still keep up on the tree, with rage it seemed to yell and a strong red aura covered his entire body, his limbs got stronger and he seemed completely different than the goofy look from before.
"GLUUUUUUUUUOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!"
Fuuuoooosshhh
"GUEEEH!! Wh-what the hell is going on?! he got stronger all of the sudden! did he activate some kind of passive buff? So theres things like these in this wicked world! Damn it! Im not gonna give up either you bastard!"
The Fish started to climb the tree at max speed, and I ran away even higher, almost at the top of the tree.
"No no this is dangerous! if I go to the top of tree im gonna get eaten by birds! I need to jump off to another tree right away! THREAD MANIPULATION! Uooooh!"
Baaam!
The fish enraged by my run away tactics jumped over to the other tree, the strong force that he used on the jump almost broke the big tree in half!
"Are you kidding me? This bastard is absurdly strong! This is not fair at all! I am no more than a pitiful caterpillar! Uuuaaaaaahh!!! THREAD MANIPULATION! THREAD MANIPULATION! THREAD MANIPULATION!"
I used my full force with my threads to pull off a godd distance and balanced the rock I was carrying with myself again.
"Here! taste this you bastard!"
BAAAM!
"GLUUUUUUUOOOOP GUEEEEEEE!"
As more blood came out of the big fish pitiful face it got even angrier and it seemed that his buff got even more potent, his limbs became muscular and veins sprouted of them.
In a big jump it destroyed the tree that we were both in and tried to bite me again.
Brooommm Crash!
"Uuuuaaaaaaa! Stupid idiot you destroyed the tree! were gonna fall off now! THREAD MANIPULATION!"
"GUEEEEEEE!!"
I was able to climb to another nearby tree but the stupid fish fell off the ground and the destroyed tree completely crashed him!
Splash!
| YOU GAINED 544 EXP | | YOU GAINED 3 LEVELS! | | LEVEL 8/10 EXP 9/300 |

"Haaahhhh.... I almost died!!! I almost died!!!.. aaghh... haaah.. haha.. hahaha! Thats what you get you bastard!.. dont.. mess with me... haaah...So tired, but how did I even got the EXP? I didnt even killed him directly.. haaah.. ugh"
After the fight I was completely exhausted, my entire body was in pain and tired and I rested a little in the tree branch.
"I cant.. rest now.. I gotta get it, before a bird eats it! Move body! Move!"
I struggled to get down but I somehow managed to wrap the fish destroyed body around my thread and I slowly dragged it into my nest.
"Haha.. uughh.. time to eat.. Thanks for the meal!"
For the entire day I only dedicated myself to eat the massive walking fish, it tasted like the best raw Tuna I\'ve ever had in my previus life.
"Chomp, hmm! This is marvelous! Such a strong fish taste! I could eat this my entire life! So juicy yet so meaty. All that struggle payed off at the end.. im close to level 10 now, just two more levels, I can do it!"
After several hours I finished the entire fish, not even his eyes or scales were spared!
"Sigh... I should had saved some for tomorrow, but it was so good-"

，
| NEW SKILL LEARNED: RIVER KING STRONG CLAWS |
| NEW SKILL LEARNED: RIVER KING STRONG BITE |
| NEW SKILL LEARNED: HIGH WATER ELEMENT AFFINITY |
| NEW SKILL LEARNED: WATER SHOT |
"UOOOHH!!!! AMAZING! THIS IS AMAZING! Im so amazing! These skills are from a evolved monster, yet I got them from him! Hahaha! Wait.. WATER SHOT..? Is this.. a long ranged attack?! Yes! Finally!!
But.. why did he never used it, he could had easily killed me.. maybe he was still a stupid fish after all, even after evolving..."
After some egocentrical rambling I started to check out my skills, it seems that the big fish was actually the River King.
"How could I be so unlucky? or lucky?"
The RIVER KING STRONG BODY is actually a passive buff that I can apply using 20 stamina, it will boost my max HP Strength and Defence by 10 points each for a hour. The RIVER KING STRONG CLAWS and BITE are very strong attacking skills, but they cost 10 stamina each instead of my WEAK BITE that cost nothing.
"With these skills I can be more confident in close combat now.. but I still like WATER SHOT more, I\'ve never been someone that likes to fight in close quarters, I always got beaten to a pulp at school.. uggh I already died there, I should forget those stupid memories.. Im just a bug now.."
I started testing WATER SHOT in little rocks around my nest, to my surprise its amazing!
"This skill is incredible, I can create little but lethal water bullets that can perfectly penetrate such a strong rock like nothing.. No way.. this is busted, I bet that bastard fish never knew how to use it, hahaha, thanks you so much for your stupidity Mister King of the River!"
The Water bullets surprisingly only cost 3 stamina each, how convenient.
After practicing for a while I realized that my two WATER ELEMENT AFFINITY related skills increase the power of my bullet to almost double its power. After a while I went to my comfy but messy bed.
"I never expected I would fight the King of the River today.. I just wanted fish, maybe this minus one Luck is a blessing in disguise, giving me good oportunities to grow stronger faster? Pfff, no way its just the that bastard Mysterius Voice toying with me...STATUS!"

"I wonder what my Tittles do? do they give passive abilties or stats? They seem to do nothing at all and everytime I check on them nothing shows up, maybe a stronger being can make use of them? Level 10.. it doesnt seem so far from now.. It has already been almost a week in this world.. I dont really know how to feel, I barely have time to meditate with everything wanting to eat me. I wonder how are my parents.. Are they sad that I died? Or are they happy that they useless son finally died? Sigh.. I hope theyre doing okay, whenever you two are... And what about the Mysterius Voice? Who is he really? And why did he reincarnate me in the first place? Couldn you leave me to die alone? Whats the point of all this? I.. Im questioning too much, Im just a pitiful bug, I gotta think how to survive for now, yes that is enough for me now, Level 10 here I go!"
| DAY 6 |
Thanks to the big amount of Stamina that I got from the fish I woke up early this morning as I didnt need to sleep that much, I decided to go a little bit to the East this time, now that I have a long ranged attack my hunts should become way easier.
As I walked in the road a loud sound made the earth tremble.
Booooommm!!
"Uuaaaaaaaaaahhh!!! Wh-what is it this time? Uuh? Is that.."
After making sure to hide near a tree I took a look on what was making such a loud sound, it was a humanoid figure with a set of iron armor over his body, gray pants, a ragged helmet and a long and red hair, it was holding a little knife on his left hand and a wood shield on his right hand.
"Is that.. Is that.. A human girl? No way, theres humans here! Heeeeeyyy~~! Can you hear me!! Heeeeeeyy~~!"
I aproached her trying to communicate with the girl but it seemed as she couldnt hear me and started to walk away to the East Rocky Mountains. Her body was so big that I couldnt keep up with her speed and I didnt want to waste Stamina on following her.
"Sigh.. I wonder if she was cute, she had a beautiful crimson hair thats for sure..So its pretty much confirmed now that humans do exist in this world! I wonder how many countries there are! How many cultures, are there demihumans? Demons perhaps? Uuuuh its so sad that im just a caterpillar and I cant find out anything at all!"
Lamenting my own weakness I started to head West now, afraid of more humans to the East, in the road I found others of my same species. When I tried to befriend them some ran away and others tried to bite me, so using my WATER SHOT I killed them swiftly and wraped they bodies in my thread and took them to my nest.
| YOU GAINED 63 EXP | | LEVELS: 8/10 EXP 072/300 |
"I tried talking to these caterpillars but they seemed very stupid and others tried to bite me, no point talking with such senseless beings, I guess I am a special case because of my reincarnation, well anyways I got 3 caterpillars for dinner! Yay for canibalism!"
Just after going back to my nest I thought about fish meat.
"Wait, if I killed the River King does it mean that its easier to catch fish now? Hmm should I use these caterpillars as bait?.. Uohohoho! I am a genius!"
And so I did, but instead of acting myself as the bait I used these dead caterpillars, I easily used my thread and a little stick and made a pretty messy fishing rod!
"Hey this is enough I think! now time to stick the caterpillar corpse and here we go!"
Blump
Just as the caterpillar hit the water a strong force immediately started to drag me!
"Oooh here it is! Active skill RIVER KING STRONG BODY!"
Fuoosh!
"UOOOOOHHHHHHH!"
Splashh!
Using my strong force I took the fish out of the water and used WATER SHOT two times on his head and it was as good as dead! Afterwards I started using WEACK BITE on it to see how it tastes.
| YOU GAINED 221 EXP | | LEVELS: 8/10 EXP 293/300 |
"WEAK BITE! WEAK BITE! Chomp Chomp. Hmmmm! As delicius as ever Mister Fishy! hahahaha!"
I stoped munching on it and wraped it with my thread, then I catch 2 more fishes and headed back to my nest.
| YOU GAINED 436 EXP | | YOU GAINED 2 LEVELS!| | LEVELS: 10/10 EXP 79/0 |
"Hahaha to think that I could easily get to level 10 today! I didnt even struggled a inch! Very nice! Time to eat fish, I need to save for tomorrow.."
And so I used the rest of the day eating fish and saving the third one for tomorrow.
"Haaah.. Im so stuffed.. I dont think it wold be possible for a caterpillar to eat two whole walking fishes, I bet this is all thanks to my SILVER BELLY skill.. haha"
| YOU LEARNED SKILL: UNDERWATER SENSE | | YOU LEARNED SKILL: STURDY FISH SCALES |
"Oooohohoho! More fish skills! these seem to be the last ones, I needed to eat a lot to get them all huh? Anyways they seem pretty basic to test them out, I suposse the UNDERWATER SENSE is about increasing my senses underwater, pretty basic. And STURDY FISH SCALES must be some kind of active buff that gives me fish scales to protect my skin, right? Yeah I dont need to test them out.. Lets see, STATUS!"
