Blood sea part 1

Well, we started from the beginning.

I am a 19-year-old boy who works on the main ship of the "Blood Lotus Fleet". I'm basically the workhorse of things on the ship

I am 1.70 tall, I have black hair and I look red.

And you can call me "Jonathan"

My story starts like this:

I was cleaning the deck at night as I am always asked to do until I started to hear a certain noise like a pop from one direction. I turned around it but I didn't see anything wrong. It looked like there was an insect inside the boat's wood so I let it go

After cleaning the deck, I went towards my room but on the way to the place, I heard the same noise again. I turned around and this time I saw a figure walking quickly into a door. I leaned against the wall and slowly went to the door

It was our warehouse. I went in slowly to analyze things. There was nothing abnormal until I took a barrel away and heard a sound of something falling. I looked to the side to predict that I had dropped something important. But when I saw it, it was a sailor who was lying on the floor with a strange wound on the back of his neck. It looked like something had been taken from her

I didn't want to investigate anything. I went straight to the captain to tell him what happened

The next day, the captain told everyone to be careful

I heard from a sailor that we are two weeks away from our goal, which is a small port town on the continent of Zantage. My captain has business to settle with a pirate who stayed there

During the day it was all the same: I carry a box from the warehouse to the deck. Then I clean the deck and finally I help the chief

At night things got really weird.

I heard that noise again but this time, I was more attentive so I stretched my leg back in order to hit a kick at anything that was there

And to my despair, something held my foot. I pushed myself forcing the thing to let go of my foot. And with that, I turned my body to get a view of what the creature was

It had a humanoid shape but its head was some abyssal fish. She had scales covering most of her body. The creature had arms but also had long limbs that looked like a kind of tentacles attached to its back.

I positioned myself in a more appropriate combat pose by squinting while thinking about what to do

Somehow, I didn't feel any fear or hesitation

At this time, I felt nothing like i'm dead

I took off at the creature by throwing several punches at it. When I hit with my right hand, it seemed to do nothing. But the left hand left burns on it

The creature retaliated by punching and kicking me until it decided to whip me with its limbs that get stuck in the back.

I fell to the floor with the pain and it stopped. The creature looked at me for a while and I could hear it saying - So are you the boy who saw my friend's performance last night ... pathetic. I thought it would be more difficult but it looks like it wasn't

I took a deep breath to try to stay rational and threw a punch where the creature's windpipe would be. And this time, the creature showed that it felt pain with this because shortly after my strike, its expression became somber and it hited in my chin with his leg throwing me away

"Where are those broken into ?!" I thought of referring to the other sailors. After crashing into the cold wood, a rush of adrenaline rushed through my body and with that, I got up and ran towards the creature, drawing my rusty metal knife

I nailed the blade to the creature's neck and when it lost a little control, I advanced on its back and gave several kicks. Dropping her to the ground

I withdrew determination from where I never imagined I would have to kick the monster's neck against the ground. So making the knife go through your neck

The creature looked dead. I stopped for a while to adjust my breathing and see my wounds. It felt like my wounds were healing, but in a strange way. I let it go and made sure to drag it to the captain's office. I stopped in front of the door and knocked 3 times until he opened it

My captain is an incredibly young man. He is 20 years old, with red hair, an eye patch covering his right eye, six feet tall, black eyes and a sleepy expression on his face. The captain looked at me then looked at the creature and said - Come in.

I went into his office and he served me tea. I drank and told him everything that happened in the smallest details. My captain looked at me and said - Well, I suspected that we were going to be attacked by the "Aquatic vampires". These pests always appear in the sea of ​​blood

I raised an eyebrow and asked him - What is the sea of ​​blood? - And he answered me - It is where the hellish creatures bred with the abyssal creatures for the first time. This act has made it here the place where most creatures from the depths come here to reproduce or even live - I thought for a while but finally I said - I got it ...

You certainly don't know the story. So I'll tell you:

A few years ago, some infernal creatures invaded our world to infest it with more infernal creatures

The strongest in the whole world came together to slaughter the creatures there

The battle was long but we ended up victorious

But we couldn't stop them from spreading these bizarre monsters around

Since then, the beings of this world have grown a gigantic hatred for these creatures because of the heavy casualties we have suffered.
