2 2: I Became A Fish?

Somewhere very far away from earth, on a huge planet at least twice the size of earth itself..

The planet was filled with nature, even so 70% was nearly covered by water, the sound of ferocious beasts rang throughout the forest as a heavy gale swept by..

In a large pond, the leaves of many plants protruded out from the pond as many fish were seen swimming by hastily..

"Ahhh" xiao Chen shouted in his mind as he looked at his surroundings he was very shocked, for some reason he was on a huge leaf..

"Where am I?" Xiao Chen nearly became pale as he asked himself this question in shock..

[host is in the mortal world of cultivation] a mechanical voice sounded off in his head..

"T-this" xiao Chen was shocked hearing this mechanical voice, his only thought was that it was a system?

"U-um, are you a System?" Xiao Chen was skeptical before asking, afterall he never felt like his cultivation dream would come true, let alone a system..

[yes I am the system bound to host] the mechanical voice sounded off once again..

Hearing this xiao Chen became excited, he tried to hold back his laughter and tried to process everything..

"So System where am I currently?" Xiao Chen asked, if he was in the cultivation world, shouldn't he be in a clan or a sect?, what's going on here..

[host is currently on a leaf in a pond] the mechanical voice said..

"Ah?, a what?" Xiao Chen felt completely shocked, what type of leaf was so big that he would fit on it..

"But System why is this leaf so big" xiao Chen asked as he looked at the huge leaf which he seemed to be glued to, a thin white layer of slime was blocking his view..

[that is because host has become a fish in an egg] the system said mechanically..

"????" Xiao Chen was shocked until he nearly turned pale, until he remembered his weird remarks of not caring if he was a worm..

"Welp, a fish is better than a worm any day" xiao Chen laughed it off to comfort himself, perhaps he could become a legendary kun peng after cultivating for thousands of years!!

"System what type of fish am I?" Xiao Chen was very curious.

[host is currently a koi fish] the system mechanically said, causing xiao Chen face light up..

"Haha, it seems I have to go down the path of a dragon" xiao Chen said happily, it was hard for him to take it all in, but after a while he started to accept things here, he didn't feel any regrets for leaving his old world.

"Ok, system what should I do?" Xiao Chen asked..

[Ding!

System mission!!

Task: hatch!!

Reward: starter pack] a holographic blue screen appeared before him, for some reason xiao Chen could see it very clearly.

"It's time to hatch" xiao Chen said enthusiastically, his expression changed as he awkwardly said "System, u-uhh, how do I hatch out of the egg?"

[host has to try and break the barrier on the egg, at most host will need 3 days to break it] the system said..

"3 days, F*ck, damnit" xiao Chen nearly cried, he thought hatching would be smooth, but he guessed wrong..

"Hmm, maybe my siblings are beside me" xiao Chen thought, he knew nothing about koi fish, but he did know that many fish had lots of babies in one spot..

"So I have parents in this world?, but they are fish?, yea no" xiao Chen said, there was no point in watching his parents since they were fish, plus they were probably long gone or eaten in this pond..

Truth be told, he didn't feel like watching after someone else..

"Eww" xiao Chen said as he tried moving around, the thing he was feeling wasn't water, but it felt like some sticky slime glue, it didn't feel very good.

"System, you must have a status screen, show me" xiao Chen asked the system..

[Status

[Name]: Xiao Chen

[Cultivation]: Nil.

[Age]: 1/40

[Art]:

[Skills]:

A huge line of words appeared before xiao Chen..

"So this is my status" xiao Chen said as he observed it, he didn't find anything wrong..

"System, what if the "40" behind my age for?" Xiao Chen asked once again..

[that stands for host's lifespan, it will increase as host gets stronger, most cultivators are so old they don't know how old they are, this is a good way to keep track of host's age] the system said mechanically..

"Hmm, so I have 40 years to live, not bad for a baby fish" xiao Chen get excited, he just couldn't wait to start cultivating, the starter pack from the system mission was even more tempting..

"System, what is the different between "art" and "skills" xiao Chen asked, he felt as if they were the same thing,"

["art" stands for the cultivation art host uses to cultivate, skills stand for martial skills that host has learners, they are totally different] the system explained thoroughly as its mechanical voice was heard in xiao Chen's head.

Xiao Chen slowly wiggles his litter fish body around, he moved one of his hands, or he should say "fins" before his eyes..

He then began to look at his fin and swam around in circles just to get a peek at his tail..

"I truly am a fish" xiao Chen said, even so he was very much linking the colors on himself, he even felt as if he was totally good with a bunch of other colors he couldn't see fully yet, due to the thickness of the slime he was in..

"Isn't this child abuse?, what kind of parents puts their child in this sort of environment" xiao Chen sighed helplessly ad swam to the thin layer or white blocking him from the outside world, even so the thin layer felt very fragile to his small fins..

"It's time to break this egg" he said happily!!
