"I'm waiting".
[Host should ask any question for clarification.]
"You didn't tell me to ask first, why are you so f*cking hideous? And who's your host, are you a parasite?"
[Sebastian, welcome to The Ocean domination system!]
[I am not a parasite; I am the system that has been ȧssigned to you to lead you through the perilous waters of Oceania.]
Sebastian went silent for a moment; an you mean that expression on his face. "You mean, you're like those system shit that those shit authors write about? How's that even real?"
"Now, if you don't know that's degrading your image to me. I find it hard to trust strangers, this will only make me have a harder time trusting you".
[Host's decision to trust or to not trust me is none of my business.]
[You're the one who was reborn into Oceania, live a few days here and the realization of everything will come to you. If you still don't believe, you can as well just die.]
"…"
Sebastian was speechless. "That's impolite".
[Host has been more impolite to the system since you were reborn. If you want, I can list the scenarios of your impoliteness down to you.]
Sebastian didn't know what to say about that. Coughing a bit, he finally decided to ask some real questions. His talks about not believing the system were just bullshit, he already confirmed long ago that this was real.
"So where is this exactly, Oceania? Is it in Europe, Africa, Asia?"
[This is Oceania, not Earth.]
"Dammit!"
After taking deep repeated breaths which seemed strange in his sharky body to calm his mind down, Sebastian asked again.
"So, if this is not Earth, then this world, Oceania, what is it? What is it made of, how did it come to be? And where am I? I'll appreciate a map, you know".
[Information about how Oceania came to be is locked, reach the requisite level before you can access the requirements to unlock it.]
[Oceania is a world, just like your previous world, Earth. The only difference is that, unlike Earth, Oceania is completely submerged in water with no presence of dry land.]
"Ooook, that's insightful".
[Just like your Earth is divided into 7 continents, Oceania is divided into 7 seas. They are the building blocks of this world.]
[The combination of all 7 seas forms an ocean, that's what is called Oceania.]
[The 7 seas are The Green Mist, The Red Cove, The Black Veil, The Blue Sea, The Dungeon of Souls, The Hot Realm, and The Atlantian Domain.]
"Holy shit, that's some badass names you got there".
"But wait, Atlantian…, Atlantis?"
[Yes, the current ruling hegemon of the 7 seas is Atlantis.]
"You mean the ancient story is real? The lost city is real?
[Such information is not recorded in the system's database; host has to find that out himself.]
"Ok, I understand". Sebastian sighed exaggeratedly which only resulted in bubbles in the water. "Thanks for all the information, but I'll really appreciate knowing where I am currently among the 7 seas".
[Information locked: Pay 20 Adaptation points to buy a comprehensive map from the system store.]
"F*ck, I knew it!"
Fuming, Sebastian organized his thoughts. "Ok, how did I come to this world?"
[Information locked: Reach the requisite level to know the requirements to unlock such information.]
"…"
He took a deep breath. "How about my status, I want to see it again. Is that locked too?"
[No, host status can be shown at any time.]
"Ok, show me".

"Damn, why is my health so low?"
[You are under the mild bleeding status, fill your stomach with food to wear effects off.]
"Ok, I get that. But why is my luck 0?"
[Because you're unlucky.]
"…"
"Is that why I got the lowest random 5 points from the Adaptation points given as my reward for the mission?"
[Yes.]
Sebastian's face darkened, he didn't know how it looked on his new sharky face but it darkened. He took a deep breath of the underwater oxygen again before asking his series of last questions.
"You call yourself the Ocean domination system, what does it mean?"
[Yes, that is my name. I was created to aid whoever becomes my host to get the ability to dominate all 7 seas and become the ocean don, the Ocean master of Oceania.]
"Ok, I get you".
After getting the answer to the last series of questions that he asked, Sebastian finally left the system and fell into deep thought.
From all the evidence that was around him, the system was right. He died to the bite of his own shark, his soul through whatever magic was trapped and brought to this world, Oceania.
Now, he had to survive and dominate this world and become the so-called Ocean master. He just didn't know where to start from, no contract, nothing of the sort, how was he sure that the system was not deceiving him?
As the great anatomist that he was, one of his greatest antics that he lived on was to only believe what he saw with his own eyes than what even his President told him.
He already made up his mind to confirm what the system said, he had to go out into this world himself. He was an anatomist and anatomists were invisible scientists, there was no way he was going to die.
Wait…, this suddenly brought his mind back to something crucial.
"System, what if I'm killed, I'll be reborn again right?"
[…]
"I…, I'll be reborn again right?"
[…]
"…"
