Chapter 104 - System Knowledge.

Sebastian slept for hours while his mischievous spinal cord did things with his body until he finally woke up. On waking up, he felt that energetic vibrancy of having recovered which spread a sharky smile across his face.

Clearly, feasting on the octopus's meat did his body some real good. All his injuries were healed, he felt like a Megalodon undergoing puberty again.

[You have activated skill: Advanced Electroreceptors.]

With this skill active, he was able to see around where he currently was and confirmed that Verni and the other Great White Sharks were still resting.

He didn't swim out lest he disturbs them, and besides, he was not done with the queries that he wanted answered by his system. 

After the previous battle, the system spammed him with so many new things that he didn't know where to start from. He needed answers fast to curb his curiosity, and he needed them now.

He rested his body at a more comfortable angle before calling out.

"System, are you there?"

[The system never sleeps.]

"Oh, ok, that's nice. So, what is a magic core?" He went straight to the point.

[Magic cores are a consolidation of the magic power wielded by sea creatures, and it is formed after they break through to the purple tier.]

[After a magic core is formed, the said creature will experience a sharp spike in magic power. The Purple tier is the middle tier among the power tiers of Oceania, and getting there brings the first sharp power increase.]

[After killing opponents, host can ȧssimilate their condensed magic cores to harness the magic power stored in them.]

After listening to the explanation from the system, Sebastian kept quiet as he thought through some of the experiences that he already had.

It was his breakthrough from the white to the orange tier that really brought a ridiculous comprehensive upgrade in his power.

From what the system just explained, getting to the purple tier brings the first sharp power increase but he experienced this at the orange tier. This once again confirmed his speculation that the system was secretly helping him.

And pairing this with his unique skill could explain his outrageous ability to battle with higher-tiered creatures.

Also, bringing the first sharp power increase meant that subsequent breakthroughs would lead to the same sharp increase. Well, he could not argue with this having fought with a severely injured Red tier monster.

This once again brought back his anticipation for his next evolution, this was more prominent following his series of level-ups after killing the Octopus.

With his first question answered, he became more enthusiastic as he asked all the questions that he had in a row. 

His questions ranged from the mutated magic organs that he got as loot after Octumpedam's death, to the system inventory, system snooping tool, seasonal achievement reward setup, and every other thing that he got.

As he asked, so also did his system diligently answer. 

According to the system, mutated magic organs were normal adaptations, but they mutated after creatures condense their magic core.

The use of mutated magic organs was that they were used to craft magic weapons. Depending on the creature that it was extracted from, they could give weapons different magic effects.

For the 2 mutated magic organs that he got, they were the systematic heart and the brain. From these, Sebastian could faintly guess the magic effects that they may give if forged into a weapon.

For the system inventory, it was as it was. It was like a system storage ring where he could keep everything that he acquired, stole, or looted.

For the system snooping tool, it was like a spy system ability that enabled him to see the stats of creatures around him to evaluate their strength.

Unfortunately, according to the system, the contents that he could see depended on his strength which meant that if he met another Red tier monster, he could not see all its stats to evaluate its strength beforehand.

Despite this small shortcoming, he was satisfied with what it could do.

For the seasonal achievement reward setup, it was the most revolutionary one that left him feeling the giddiest and excited. 

According to the system, it was a reward system that gave him seasonal targets to meet for rewards. They were divided into daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly achievement targets. 

It also had a special tab for hard, insane, and impossible achievement targets. 

[System Daily target: Kill and eat 20 Yeti Crabs- Uncompleted.]

[Target Reward: 50 Adaptation points.]

[System Weekly target: Kill and eat 5 Tiger Sharks- Uncompleted.]

[Target Reward: 250 Adaptation points.]

[System Monthly target: Kill 2 Orcas and 4 Mammoth Crocodiles- Uncompleted.]

[Target Reward: 1000 Adaptation points.]

[System Yearly target: Kill the alpha of this Ocean Volcano region.]

[Target Reward: 20,000 Adaptation points and a special system reward.]

[Insane and Impossible targets are not tabulated. Host should identify suitable targets himself, and the system will evaluate the host's options.]

This was the main reaction that Sebastian had on seeing this. The more he stayed in this world, the more his system felt game-like. He could not say he hated it though, he absolutely loved it.

After asking all these, he finally proceeded to check out one of his arguably best loots from this battle, the magic weapon- Octranezion.

[Magic Weapon: Octranezion.]

[Physical Damage Power: 250.]

[Magic Damage Power: 150.]

[Durability: 61/80.]

[Special Weapon Effect: Severe Internal Bleeding!]

[Special Weapon Effect: Severe Pain Hit!]

[Special Weapon Effect: Burning Heart!]

[Weapon is not compatible with host; you can decide to sell it to other creatures in exchange for clan currencies or in exchange for a compatible weapon.]

Seeing this, Sebastian was charmed, once again revealing to him how game-like his system was. Though he didn't use the weapon yet, having been on the receiving end of an attack from it, he had mad respect for it.

Also, the last remark from the system caught his attention. The system said he could sell it which meant that there were monster cities in this world civilized enough to welcome other creatures and engage in trade. 

"Damn!" He felt excited just thinking of it, this once again reminded him that despite all his adventures since he transmigrated, he's only just touched the tip of adventure locations in Oceania.

There was a lot more waiting for him, and he couldn't wait to explore them all, dissecting more creatures in the process while spreading his legend.

He felt hyped to start traveling immediately, but he calmed himself down because he knew that he was not done yet.

Before leaving with Verni's group, he needed to ȧssimilate the magic cores to cut off any corners where suspicion could arise from.

Also, he still remembered the reward given after he completed an impossible target achievement, and he still hasn't seen the reward for completing an insane target achievement.

"Bruh, I have a ton of things to attend to".
