Ocean Master

Without any intention to waste time, Sebastian inquired about the rewards for his insane and impossible target achievement.

[System Insane target: Kill a purple tier creature while still at the orange tier.]

[Target Reward: Random Passive Ability.]

[Passive ability randomizing…, randomization complete.]

[Congratulations! You have been rewarded with the passive ability: Undying Zombie.]

[Undying Zombie: When your health is below 10%, the passive effect will be triggered, restoring 50% of your health in one go.]

[This passive ability has a recharge time of 24 hours after each use.]

[System Impossible target: Kill a red tier creature while still at the orange tier.]

[Target Reward: The Ocean King\'s Hidden Inheritance- Telekinesis.]

[Note: Before this ability can be used, host\'s mind stat must be above 100 stat points.]

Before when he saw telekinesis as a reward for this achievement, Sebastian couldn\'t jubilate properly because 1, he needed to go out to meet the others, and 2, because he felt it was too good to be true.

Now, not only that, he got another OP reward in the form of a passive ability. Man, he felt on top of the word.

"I\'m a Champion!" He yelled in his mind, imitating the lines that he remembered from his then-favorite motivational speaker, Eric Thomas.

That man meant a lot to him, it was all thanks to him that his anatomical skills grew to the realms that they grew to. His motivational words made him keep on going when everyone else called him a freak.

Putting all these aside from his mind, for now, he savored the sweet fragrance of the joy now bubbling in his heart.

Even if he was not sure of his goal of becoming the future Ocean Master, just the fact that he was growing in strength was a good thing that left him ecstatic.

Right now, the only thing that soured his mood a bit was the fact that his mind stat was below 100 which meant he needed to wait until it accumulated more before he could access the telekinesis ability.

"Well, f*ck that!"

He could only comfort himself with the Undying Zombie passive ability. After all his battle encounters, he knew the importance of this passive ability.

With this done, before he diverted his attention to the magic cores, he remembered another fact, his gains from killing the alpha Croc.

[Reputation: Crocodile Wrestler.]

[Reputation is another term for the legendary story that you set before leaving a region. Your name will always be remembered in this seamount due to the feat that you accomplished.]

[Passive Ability: Bane of Mammoth Crocodiles.] 

[When battling against Mammoth Crocodiles, those of the white tier will have their strength suppressed by 50%, those of the orange tier will have their strength suppressed by 25%, while those of the purple tier will have their strength suppressed by 5%.]

Compared to the Undying Zombie passive ability, this was more restricted but it still couldn\'t extinguish Sebastian\'s joy. 

With this, future battles against Mammoth Crocodiles would be much easier. He felt gratified, his choice to conquer the Crocodile family was right Afterall.

Another thing that he noticed was that, in the system notification, the system referred to the Crocodile kingdom as a purple-rated sea animal kingdom. 

This was another new knowledge to him; he didn\'t know that animal kingdoms were also classified into ranks. This also coincided with his discovery that there were probably civilized monster cities and kingdoms out there. 

And another fact was the Mammoth title added to the Crocodiles. He knew a bit about Mammoths from his previous life, and he could not help but feel puzzled about the relationship between a Mammoth and a Crocodile.

He didn\'t have the time to think too much into it so just like his second love which was ignoring things, he simply ignored it. 

Another gain that he had in the previous battle was the invention points, he asked the system to display it again.

[Congratulations! You have invented your first stacked magic manifestation- Tower Prison!]

[You have gained 10 Invention points.]

According to the system, invention points were another type of points given when he created new inventions with his water transmutation skill, and 10 Invention points translated to 1000 Skill points and 1000 Adaptation points.

His gains in the previous battle were just too OP. With this, he discovered that he could create entirely new magic manifestations with his imagination and that he could be rewarded for it.

Nothing was more exciting than this, he felt on top of the world.

Now, with all these attended to, he finally had time for the magic cores.

[System Inventory:]

[Weapon: Octranezion.]

[Magic Cores: 2- Purple tier, 1- Red tier.] 

With a thought, one of the purple tier magic cores materialized before him in mid-air, having been extracted from the inventory.

Seeing this glowing crystalline substance, Sebastian felt a little guilty about hoarding it all when the Lizard Lord and everyone contributed to the battle.

In the end, his conscience couldn\'t accept it so he left one of the purple tier magic cores for the Lizard Lord. For the remaining purple tier and red tier magic core, his effort in the previous battle earned it.

"Now, it\'s time to pop this pill".

Like he was swallowing his pills back on earth, he swallowed the purple tier magic core first. Who knew if taking 2 at once would make him explode? At this moment, prevention was better than cure.

As soon as the magic core went through his throat, he felt a cool feeling pervade his body like he was in a room filled with blazing air conditioners.

[You have assimilated a purple tier magic core.]

[Magic structure has been broken down…, you have harnessed 160 mana points from the magic core.]

"…"

"Damn, harnessing mana points???" Sebastian was dumbfounded, leaving his mouth opened in a big O shape. "This is so f*cking nice!"

"It really has the same effects as taking pills! Damn, more!"

[You have assimilated a red tier magic core.]

[Magic structure has been broken down…, you have harnessed 350 mana points from the magic core.]

[Your luck has increased.]

[Note! Mana points can only be harnessed once from the magic core produced by a creature of a certain species. To get more, host has to harness from magic cores of creatures of a different species.]

"…"

When Sebastian was already traveling to cloud nine in happiness, then this. He felt a strong urge to bonk his system hard, but in the end, he left it as that small note could not take away the joy from what he just got.

In just seconds, he got 510 mana points. Who wouldn\'t feel happy?

As he rejoiced, he also made connections. For a reason, he felt that this was one of the clues to getting stronger that his system promised to introduce to him when he successfully killed a Sea King.

After celebrating to his fill, Sebastian finally came back to reality and he asked the last question that was on his mind.

"System, are you a robot, an alien with a personality, or a human-like me. And, are there 2 personalities in there communicating with me?"

"This time, I want nothing but the truth".
