Ocean Master

Once Sebastian confirmed that no hostilities came from calling her what he knew, he became bolder as he asked her the most nagging question in his mind.

"Are you an earthling?"

The clownfish gave him a sideways glance. "Have your brain been muddled by so much killing and cannibalism that you don't recognize a fellow earthling anymore when you see one?"

"Umm…"

"Forget it". The clownfish waved her small fin. "Yes, I am an earthling".

This opening conversation was indeed weird, but it set the mood in the right order. As a Megalodon, Sebastian could not sit in normal chairs, and he did not have any custom-made throne like hers, so he could only hover before her.

Then, an awkward silence stretched between the both of them.

Sebastian had to admit that seeing the real thing hit hard than just guessing or even knowing it. 

For a long time, he had been guessing that his fellow earthling that reincarnated here would be a clownfish, but on seeing the real thing, he was spooked, even more so when this clownfish was supposed to be a hot chick.

Just visualizing how she may have looked like as a human, and pairing it with the current clownfish, he almost choked.

Perhaps, she guessed what was going through his mind through her minute movements but the clownfish refrained from speaking about them.

She instead spoke about another thing. "How is life in Oceania?"

"Well, um, life is good".

"…"

"Ugh, you're so bad at conversations that you remind me of someone that I know". The clownfish finally complained.

Sebastian shrank. "Sorry".

The clownfish didn't care anymore. "Never mind, let's get to business. I believe that you're guessing how I know you since I've never met you before nor did you leave any clues for me like I left for you, right?"

"Yes".

Sebastian was indeed curious about it. It may seem normal from his perspective, searching for the Motherf*cker Lord, but he knew that this was all because he saw the clues that were left by the clownfish.

From the Lizard Lord to the Anemone Domain, the clues all pointed to the fact that a fellow earthling reincarnated and was a clownfish.

Without the clues, he may have never guessed that a fellow earthling reincarnated with him.

This was the reason why he went after the Motherf*cker Lord, but the same could not be said about him, so how did she know of him?

The clownfish finally answered.

"Actually, I already knew long ago that you will be reincarnated here".

"Long ago". Sebastian caught that. "Does that mean that you reincarnated here way long before I did?"

"Not exactly way long, but yes, I reincarnated before you. I have lived in Oceania for 2 years already".

"…"

"I also have a system, so don't try to be secretive. We're the same, I understand you and all the advantages that you have".

"After I reincarnated, my performance was much worse than yours. I was flustered at the sudden change in the situation, and scared of the unknown".

"Like, heck, suddenly waking up and finding yourself in a world filled with water as a clownfish, a clownfish! I was freaked out!"

"My only saving grace was my luck, my starting luck was better than yours". 

"I also reincarnated in the Green Mist Sea as a clownfish that would have sounded underwhelming at first, but unlike you, this was the territory of the greatest clownfish that ever lived".

"Once I inherited the Clown unique skill, my system gave me a mission to find the inheritance ground that was left by the Clown King".

"I did, and through there, I was connected to the Clown Empire".

"Once the clownfish there knew that their Emperor already had an heir, they acted fast and came to retrieve me. I spent only 1 month in the wild, I spent the rest of my time in the Clown Empire".

"In a beast Empire, I had the best security and the best resources to improve. In just 2 years, I grew and developed so much that would have never been possible in normal circumstances".

"Once I grew powerful enough, I started probing this world to better understand the circumstances of my reincarnation".

"I wanted to know the truth; I was fed up of being kept in the dark".

"This was when I received a unique system clue. I received the clue that another reincarnate from earth was coming in 7 months, so I started my preparation, preparation to pave the way to our eventual meeting".

"As the unique clue specified that you would be reincarnated here in the Green Mist Sea, I focused all my efforts here".

"The case of the Lizard Lord and the Anemone Domain is just a fraction of the multifold preparation that I made to give you hints and clues".

"No matter which area of this Green Mist Sea that you eventually found yourself, with time, you would have found a clue left by me".

"Once you arrived in the Anemone Domain, the soul imprint that I left here was triggered which was why I brought my attention back here".

"Immediately, I triggered a series of hidden plans which were the main catalysts for all the coincidences that eventually led to you meeting me".

"I gave the Chief Councilor specific orders with my soul projection, and he followed them to the letter. Actually, besides you, no other predator, not even Black tier predators unless they are 1 of the Sea Kings can break inside here".

"And that is how we eventually came to meet".

"Nice to meet you, Sebastian. My name is Eliana".

"Eliana". Sebastian mumbled, distracted by the strange vibes that he felt on hearing the name. "It's a cool name, nice to meet you too".

With the introductions made, Sebastian finally became free of all his reservations as he started a real conversation with a fellow earthling.

Once they started it, they lost themselves in it.

The both of them died, suddenly leaving their world and reincarnating into another world where they met only strange people and predators every day. For a long time, they had felt lonely in a literal sense enough.

Now that the both of them met, they were unleashed. They discussed like their life depended on it, from popular topics back on earth, to their hobbies, to their profession back on earth and a lot of other things.

Surprisingly, Eliana was also an anatomist. This coincidence rang bells in Sebastian's mind but it did not stop their conversation.

They discussed their common hobby which was anatomy, both bragging on their achievements in this world where Eliana completely dwarfed Sebastian. Then they switched to their other hobbies.

Eliana was the one who painted all the pictures that Sebastian saw on his way here. He did well to compliment her before teasing the hell out of her.

This way, both earthlings quickly forgot the concept of time as they became taken away by the moment. 

After so long of only Oceania every day, hunting, killing, and predators all around, meeting a fellow earthling, and finally getting to release himself felt so good that Sebastian could feel his body relieving a lot of stress.

They discussed random topics until they became tired, this was when they came back to the official territory.

"You said you have been trying to know the truth behind our reincarnation outside what the Sage in your head said, so have you gotten any leads?"

Eliana sighed exaggeratedly before turning to look at him.

"Yes, actually, I already know everything that I need to know".
