Chapter 3 - Discoveries

…Well, that was the conclusive evidence that I reincarnated as a Bewilderbeast. Considering that if I look at my paws(I think they are called that at least), I can see white scales identical to those I have all over my large build, like the ones from the movies.

If your wondering, I'm still by the river checking myself out. I've been doing this for 3 hours straight, but can you blame me? being reincarnated into an entirely different species, especially one from a fantasy world can be mind boggling.

'Speaking of which, do I have all of the Bewilderbeast's abilities?'

[Correct. Your species possess Intrinsic Skills that allow you to able to breath, manipulate Ice and water. Travel underwater for an unlimited amount of time. Mind control subordinates or weaker class monsters. Creating territories out of your self-generated ice.]

'Awesome....can I Breath ice and water now?'

[Answer. Yes you can, but I would recommend that you wait for another 20 years until you use your ice breath, as the organ that produces the chemical to turn the water into ice that your magicules creates are not fully developed and could cause unnecessary damage. However, Water breath attack is calculated to be safe.]

'What are magicules?'

[Answer. Magicules or magic essence are described to be the building blocks of all magical/demonic life. Magicules are usually associated with Monsters, demi humans and demons, who are creatures who are innately based on Magicules and whose bodies tend to be more based on Magicules than physical matter the higher their power is.

However, there are exceptions like some animals, plants, or Humans that might survive the toxic effects of the demonic matter and instead mutate to become Monsters themselves.]

'Damn.....does that mean humans are normally really weak? speaking of humans, how many humans are the there in this world?'

[Answer. Exact number unknown. Number estimated to be around 70000.]

'Not that many huh?.....anyway let's try breathing water!....but how do I...?'

I concentrated for a moment, trying to feel anything alien in my body. After 10 minutes I started to give up from the lack of results, until I started to sense a warm and colourful light in the centre of my body. Curious, I focused on this light even more than before. The mysterious light suddenly expanded all over my body and mind scape.

[Confirmed. Acquired Extra Skill -Magic Power Perception and Manipulation-.]

[Will you use Extra Skill -Magic Power Perception and Manipulation-? (YES)/(NO)]

'Um.....yes?'

The moment I had activate the Extra Skill -Magic Power Perception and Manipulation- , my mind was flooded with information.

When I was human, I never processed that much information at once. Little by little, magic essence moving along waves of light and sound. Having consumed all of the incoming information, I transformed it into one I could kind of understand. When I was human, the front field of vision didn't even come up 180 degrees. And now, I can "see" 360 degrees all around me, without a blind spot, even without my eyes looking there.

I'm sure if a human's mind was filled with that much information… their brains might of just fried and went crazy. But I'm a Bewilderbeast, I have a bigger and more powerful brain, with this I can definitely manage this much.

'Wow.....it's almost like I have eyes at the back of my head AND having an all knowing brain.'

I looked around for any potential targets to test my water breath on and to my left, there was a moderately size glacier, about twice the size of myself. Perfect.

Turning my body to the direction of the glacier that was around 50 meters from myself, I gathered a small amount magic essence to the upper part of my chest, feeling a weird bubbling sensation building up to my throat. I pointed my head to glacier and opened my maw. Instantly releasing a large stream of water out of my mouth with alarming speed. Rocketing towards the huge piece of ice.

PSSSSSSSS!!!

BOOOOOM!!!!!!

The glacier was shattered into icicles with an explosion of water. My eyes almost popped out of my own skull comically, my mouth gaping with the absurd amount of power behind my attack. Not even noticing one of the smaller icicles that was bouncing off my head from the explosion.

'Holy.....I didn't even put much magic into that!!'

[Confirmed. Extra Skill -High Pressured Hydro Breath- acquired.]

'Extra skill? now that I think about it, you said that -Magic Power Perception and Manipulation- was an extra skill. What is that?'

[Answer. Extra skills refers to Skills with power and efficiency magnitudes higher than those of Common Skills that are obtained by certain intentional actions. They can also exist as Intrinsic Skills, passive skills or Sub-Skills of Unique skills depending of the situation.]

'I guess that makes sense.'

RUMBLE.....

'Ugh....I'm starving. I haven't eaten anything since I hatched. But what am I supposed to eat?'

[Solution. I have detected a shoal of common fish that are located west in the ocean exactly 500 meters away. You can consume them to sustain yourself for the time being.]

'Eat them? like.....raw?' I asked uncertainly, reluctant at eating something without cooking it first.

[Answer. Yes.]

'.....was that sarcasm?'

-God's Voice- didn't even reply.

'*sigh....well, it can't be that bad now that I'm a creature that can eat raw meat without any problem, right?'

I started travelling west like -God's Voice- instructed, I was walking for around 10 minutes or so, still getting used to my new arms and legs. While strolling I became aware of how beautiful the sky is, it was clear pure blue, no signs of pollution at all. I was almost mesmerized by it, but unfortunately, I had a meal to eat. Looking down again, I see finally see an ocean of dark blue water. The Land I was walking on had a sudden dip to it.(I was most likely walking on ice this whole time).The waves glimmering in the sunlight. I can't see the end of it. it's just that big.

'Is this it?'

[Correct. You now need to enter the water to consume them. Remember, do not worry about struggling to breath and being unable to see. Your species are able breath under water for prolonged periods of time and your eyes will adjust to the water as soon as it makes contact.]

'Alright,*inhale,*exhale. Here we go.'

I didn't go in slowly, I immediately dived into the water because....well....all or nothing I guess?... anyway, my ice blue eyes became slitted as they touched the water, allowing me to see underwater almost instantly. It's so.... beautiful....

'Oh my Goodness...'

I was slowly turning my tusked head around to take in what I say. It was almost like I was in the sky itself, while sparkling like stars thanks to sunlight. It was so fascinating, so beautiful, so-

[Notice. Please remember what you are here for, the fish will escape if you continue to stare at the ocean.]

'....damn spoil sport.'

I swam around, looked around for any fish nearby, and behold, there are TONS of fish swimming in a cluster(they look like cod). I'm almost drooling from the sight of them.

'*Gulp...so hungry, but how am I gonna eat them if they see me coming?'

[Solution. You can use -Magic Power Perception and Manipulation- to conceal your presence. Will you use Extra Skill -Magic Power Perception and Manipulation- to hide completely hide your presence? (YES)/(NO)]

'Yes!'

[Confirmed. Extra skill -Presence Concealment- acquired.]

Just like that, my Presence wholly vanished. I was practically invisible. Time to put this skill to good use....

With a burst of speed unnatural for one my size, I zoomed across the ocean like I was a running Cheetah. Opening my mouth wide, I took a bunch of fish and stuffed them in my mouth.

CRUNCH!

'*munch...*munch...It's unexpectedly delicious!'

As I chewed on the fish, they exploded with flavor, like high quality fish you get from fancy restaurant's. *Gulp...I'm still hungry and there are still groups of them left. It would probably be a good idea to make plans for the future, but all that will come later, after all...

...I'm still hungry.
