I'm a Stingray?

Understanding how severe the situation was becoming, Tim made a great U turn and swam directly towards the fat fish, who should be the boss of this little tribe considering size.

Feeling that his right fin wasn't working enough, thanks to the numerous dots of tiny pain that contributed something significant.

He decided to use it at the utmost advantage, by just letting it be.

The boss fish was charging at him through that same second, willing to do a head bud.

But that's not what Tim planned, it would be suicidal to headbud a fish who just in length, was 4 times his size, not to mention width.

So using the imbalance that the hurt fin provided, Tim's body shifted narrowly and reached to a point where he was swimming in a vertical manner.

Before indulging to what could have been a collision, Tim noticed that one of the enemy's eyes was messed up. Yes... that should serve him right for messing up the health of this young stingray.

Able to slip by the enemy's side after avoiding collision, Tim's tail started working over time and landed about 5 stings. And all the tiger grouper could do was keep swimming before realising what just happened.

[Health, -5 bars.] The system alarmed as Tim felt a fish bashing his back, pushing the young stingray about 2 feet away. [Total health = 47/100]

"Shit shit shit shit shit!" Tim's tone thundered, fear of death captivating one side of his brain and anger captivated the other.

While his tail, well it swung around like that of a stingray's whose raging emotions demanded success.

Poking the blacktipped grouper around the head about 4 times and then hurrying away from it.

[Total system points = 61]

"Weak spot, nice nice nice but I'm pretty much dying." Tim thought as he hurried for another tunnel entrance, 3 meters away from the one he got out of.

Yet behind him, sensing another being became the inevitable after he successfully made it in the foot wide, grey coated tunnel.

This sense felt short bursting, like a short tail that tried too hard to catch up, slapping the water left and right at the most rapid speeds with the crave of success.

He has had a few examples of such movements before and could tell it aside. The fact that there were only 2 species of groupers here, made sensing what this fish was, a lot easier.

It's nothing other than a blacktipped grouper, and it's charging with all of his being just to bite Timmy. They can fit through these tunnels so it was far easier for them to encourage a fish hunt through these formations.

He could hear the enemy's teeth snapping like that of a piranhas, blood and flesh as a crave.

It sounded female by tone and was uttering something in her own language, to Tim it sounded all like gibberish but now he felt more concerned as gender became clear.

Either if he liked it or not, a lady fish wanted to bite his ass. Typically that would be kinky, but this was nothing intimate and even if it was, Tim was still a juvenile and a stingray so this was a big no no.

Yet he couldn't help sensing that the enemy was catching up, they are naturally faster at the moment and he does have a damaged fin, his left one didn't feel so good either.

Feeling his stamina getting low, Tim had no other option but to slow down, ultimately letting the enemy catch up.

But his IQ of 50 working over time at this point, an idea aroused in his mind thanks to the sense of desperation.

He laid flat on the ground, while the blacktipped grouper didn't have the same luck of stopping on her spot.

THKKKL!

His tail poked a hole right through the enemy's neck, although completely lucky at this point since he had no specific aim but that urge of doing damage.

[Blacktipped grouper killed. 14 system points have been given to you as a reward.]

[Total system points = 75]

[The last currently available option can now be purchased.]

"No offense my beautiful system, but better sea pressure endurance won't help me here." Tim replied, being in enough pain that kindness became somehow easy.

Weird but the system couldn't help answering, [A blush on the system has been aroused.]

Ignoring how much the thing in his head loves compliments, Tim's vision was captured by a spiny dot shaped crawler. contemporary romance

A sea urchin!

Making the little boy think, "Hmmm, I wonder if..." And without a proper self debate, he charged towards the unholy snack and bit it in half with just a gulp, taking another bite to finish it off was mandatory.

[Purple sea urchin killed. 1 system point has been given as a reward.]

[Total system points = 76]

[Purple sea urchin eaten, it's effects are the following...]

[Effect on health, -10 bars.]

[Effect on hunger, non existent.]

[Effect on sleep, non existent.]

[Effect on stamina, non existent.]

[Speed has been upgraded to level 5 for an hour.]

[Total health = 37/100]

[That was a very dumb idea. Regenerating this type of health will take a lot of work!]

"Trust me with this, system." Tim replied and took a bit of time to regenerate his stamina, trying to ignore the moderate pain that had captivated most of his body by now.

"Come out come out, you little runt." The tiger grouper's thick tone echoed across the 7 meter wide room.

"Maybe he's dead boss." The last blacktipped grouper suggested, female by tone.

Having it difficult to believe, the boss gave in his smarter point of view. "No no, if he was then my slave would come out and tell me about it."

"Niaaaaau!" They heard Tim's tone holler across the room, as his speed didn't fail to cover 5 meters of distance in just a second.

The boss' only working eye managed to capture Tim, breaking the water at a speed half the time faster than his own, somewhere around 15 mp/h.
