The walk back to the castle was silent, with the high moon and the cool forest air lighting the way.
Ariel and I led the way, while the soldiers followed behind, carrying the “treasures” recovered from the nest.
My arm ached from cutting it, now that the adrenaline had worn off.
Ariel was with me on the horse, but unlike when she first came to the capital, now the little m...

Sensing something strange, I stopped the group, raising my hand to signal silence.
In front of us, the monsters' nest looked very much like what I had imagined: a disgusting, messy settlement. Heaps of overturned earth, scattered bones, pieces of broken wood and torn fabric for...
2025-04-18 14:12:03 +0000 UTC View PostThe fire in the fireplace crackled low, I took advantage of the silence in the room to rest my mind a little after studying the manuals Torren had brought me for some time, until the silence was broken by the sound of light footsteps coming down the stairs.
I looked up and my heart leapt.
Ariel walked into the hall and, man, did she look stunning. My mother had chosen an aqua green ...
2025-04-18 13:18:37 +0000 UTC View PostAlone in the castle hall after my mother had left with Ariel to change her clothes, and my father had gone off to sort out some things in the kingdom, I heard footsteps approaching.
The door creaked, and I raised my head.
Then Torren entered with his armor clinking lightly and a leather satchel slung over his shoulder.
He stopped in the doorway, pounding his fist on his chest....
2025-04-16 14:00:38 +0000 UTC View Post“So this is your castle, Eric?” Ariel asked in surprise as she looked at my house. “It's so beautiful and different from our castle in Atlantis.”
Although the movie portrayed the castle as literally connected to the sea, in the real world this was completely unfeasible, considering that the castle was where the King and the royal family lived and that the kingdom would inevitably ...
2025-04-16 12:43:39 +0000 UTC View PostI think this was the most embarrassing situation I've been in since I was reincarnated, and considering how red Ariel's face was and that she was now standing with her back to me avoiding looking me in the eye, I believe this is also among the most embarrassing situations she's ever been in.
So trying to think of a solution as quickly as possible, I quickly said. “Wait here for a few mi...
2025-04-16 03:54:26 +0000 UTC View Post“You have potential, Eric.” He said quietly. "But that power... it's not really yours yet. From what I can sense in you, it's as if you know that this power isn't yours, and it's not letting you use it to its full potential."
Those words from King Triton haven't left my mind since the battle.
I wasn't angry at him pointing out my flaw, but sur...
2025-04-15 15:16:16 +0000 UTC View PostI was standing in front of the coral throne, feeling the weight of King Triton's gaze.
The hall was quiet, only the sound of the water stirring the coral outside.
Ariel was next to me, with a mixture of pride and nervousness in her eyes. Arista and Attina were further back, one with an amused smile, the other still analyzing me as if I might do something wrong at any second.

As I rode through the capital, I began to notice the signs of the conversation with my father.
The city was getting more crowded...
2025-04-15 15:13:39 +0000 UTC View PostThe next day, as soon as I woke up, the first thing I did was open my status screen and see how much I had assimilated from the characters in the previous night's battle.

2025-04-15 11:53:08 +0000 UTC View PostThe beach where Ariel and Eric met was silent.
At the bottom of the sea, close to the shore, King Triton floated with a glowing trident in his hand.
He maintained a stern expression, his eyes fixed on the surface.
Around him, Ariel and her sisters were hidden among the coral whispering to each other, almost breathless with anticipation.
"Silence," Triton ordered in a fir...
2025-04-14 17:07:16 +0000 UTC View PostThe day with Ariel was very pleasant, after eating we strolled around the ocean while she told me about some of the adventures she'd had when she was younger, and I told her curiosities about the human world she admired so much.
But knowing the responsibility I had, Ariel didn't want us to just sit around all day doing nothing, and after a while she encouraged me to start training again.<...
2025-04-14 14:03:39 +0000 UTC View PostI was looking at Ariel, still a little surprised by the Chi sphere I had blown up in the sand. The crater was still smoking a little, and I felt a chill at the thought of what it could do if I trained harder.
But her words snapped me out of my trance. "Your father?" I repeated, frowning. "King Triton? Would you like to meet me?"
She nodded, her red hair swaying. "É. He... he found ...
2025-04-14 14:03:22 +0000 UTC View PostWhen I arrived at the beach, the first thing I did was look out to sea to see if Ariel was behind that rock waiting for me.
Unfortunately she wasn't there, so I focused my attention on my training.
My doubts about Water Breathing were valid, whether Gacha had given me a stronger card than the one used in the world of Demon Slayer itself, one that actually teaches me to use real wate...
2025-04-14 14:03:07 +0000 UTC View PostAfter my shower, I just rolled over in bed and fell asleep like a stone, only waking up the next day.
Opening my eyes a little groggily, it took me a while to get my bearings.
My mind was still confused between whether I was in my family's castle, whether I was still on the battlefield, whether I was under the sea or, more strangely, whether I was in the world of the Demon Slayer......
2025-04-14 14:02:48 +0000 UTC View PostI was walking out of the city gate, only the moonlight illuminating the monsters in front of me, as there were no streetlights or anything like that outside the city.
The goblins were coming, some small, fast figures with eyes blazing with fury.
There were kobolds mixed in, taller, with snouts full of teeth and claws holding crooked clubs.
I heard the soldiers behind me holdin...
2025-04-14 14:02:30 +0000 UTC View PostI had no idea how much chaos my adventure with Ariel had caused at the bottom of the sea, at which point I was wearing my knight's armor.
An armor made up of shiny silver metal plates covering the chest, shoulders and legs, with deep blue details. Underneath, I'm wearing a royal blue cloak with gold details, the colors that represent Miralune, reinforcing my noble image.
This armor ...
2025-04-14 14:02:06 +0000 UTC View PostI was there, in the water, with Ariel looking at me with those sparkling eyes that seemed to hold the whole sea.
She was so excited that I almost forgot I had to get back to the beach before the end of the day.
"Okay then, Ariel," I said, giving her a smile. "You show me your world, and I'll tell you about mine. But at the end of the day, I want to meet that mermaid, huh?" I winked,...
2025-04-13 08:18:02 +0000 UTC View PostMy body had always been weak to drink in my previous world, to the extent that just a small sip of wine would wreak havoc on my stomach and my head the next day.
Surprisingly, even though I was still only 17, my body in this world was much more resistant to alcohol.
'Maybe it's because of my Semi-God physiology? ' I wondered curiously, but not complaining, that was a good t...
2025-04-13 08:17:47 +0000 UTC View PostEver since the day Ariel rescued a human prince from a shipwreck, strange thoughts have crossed her mind.
She had always been very interested in the human world, but after she saw that man drowning and helped him back to shore, all she could think about was how romantic it would be to be together with him.
Especially while she was standing in front of a dressing table that she had r...
2025-04-13 08:17:33 +0000 UTC View Post"So you really were blessed by something that gave you these powers, Eric?" My father asked, very interested.
"Yes, Dad, since the shipwreck I've felt a new power inside me, a power that hasn't fully awakened yet, but something that I'm sure will be our trump card!" I said confidently.
Hearing my confidence, my father, who had been frowning since the beginning of the monster attacks...
2025-04-13 08:17:17 +0000 UTC View Post"Water Breath, First Form." I said in a low, serious voice as I waved my sword and used only my breath to control the water.
Because of the initial mastery that the card gave me, I really was able to use this first form as if I'd been practicing it for months!
Sure, it wasn't professional mastery yet, but it was a great start.
When I swung the sword in a gentle arc, the water ...

'Unfortunately I can't take my sword and try this out right now... but just visualizing the potential of this technique makes me very excited. I thought.
Not to mention that I had also learned the concept of the other forms, but to be able to u...

After having died in my first life by being struck by lightning on my way home from work, I transmigrated.
With that I took on a body that wasn't mine, in a world I apparently didn't know, only for the ship I was on to be hit by a storm and start sinking.

While searching for help in neighboring kingdoms to save his kingdom from destruction, the ship Prince Eric was on was attacked by a storm and sank.
