How do I stop being a fish.

Coming to, in a pet shop, inside of a glass fish tank, is not the ideal way to wake up on a Saturday. Of course, I’m not that unlucky, as to not know my situation, because I have this lovely thing right here, telling me what to do. [Emergency quest!: Reincarnation and fishes, You get the jest of it, you’re a fish, now get the hell out of there! Reward:??? Penalty: Death(cause of death will be neglect)] Ah, what a nice Saturday... Fuck.

Knock knock?

'Nothing…. Nothing… and some more nothing… sigh'

Within the ruins surrounding a large pyramid, I, the fish, am treasure hunting. I of course, found a lot of stuff, I even had my guy verify my stuffs worth!

(Flashback)

Sitting in front of me, the fish, is a pile of various treasures. Ranging from golds to magic items.

'Ehhay, big man, this stuff... How much?'

[ALOT!]

'N-nai was, that's crazy!'

(flashback end)

Well, anyway I found a bunch of stuff but...

After gathering it up and looking through it...

NONE OF ITS FISH-FRIENDLY? I mean, how the fuck is a fish supposed to use a magic sword? Huh?

This is all nothing to me!

Of course, after cooling down a bit, I decided to try and remember where this place is-

'Hey big man remember where this place is'

-and then bury this stuff for future me.

Burying the stuff was rather easy for me, I mean, I am a fish after all!

*glub*

Anyways I used hydro motion to bury all the treasures for later.

'Now it's just you...'

I look at the massive pyramid in the center of all the ruins I just looted, and I can't help but marvel at it's size.

'So big man, do you think I can do it?'

[YEAH this dungeon seems to be around the area you can deal with! From my ANALYSIS I can see that it starts off with LEVEL 25s the same ones you've been DEALING with in this AREA!]

'Hm-hm, as expected of the great me I'll'

And after about half an hour of inner dialogue, that if written down would either look like an excerpt from a Chinese novel or a quote from an 8th grader, I finally decide to explore this pointy motherfucker.

As I approach the pyramid, I can't help but wonder about it's origin. I mean it's obviously a dungeon but... It doesn't seem like a popular one... Or maybe it's new? I'm saying so due to the abundance of treasure as well as the lack of any indication that it has been visited before. Of course this could also just be a dungeon thing but I don't know for sure.

Seeing that the entrance to the pyramid isn't on my current side, I decided to take a stroll around it, trying to catch a glimpse of the entrance.

Finally, after looking at three of the sides of the pyramid I find the entrance. A comparatively small archway extending off of the blue-grey pyramid, leading into a pitch-black darkness.

Glubing, slightly, I make my way to the archway, hesitating for only a moment before I enter the passageway.

*glub glub*

'Anyone home~?'

And yet... No one seems to respond to my question, how suspicious of them...

Calming my nerves slightly, I start to make my way down the path, looking back after a few meters only to find the darkness has claimed the entrance. Now both in front of me and behind me is darkness, allowing me to only see in a certain area around me.

Braving myself, I push forward into the darkness, because really fish aren't scared of... Creepy darkness monsters that lurk in the deep dark depths and consume little fishes...

*Shiver*

*...glub...*

Ignoring my inner thoughts, I instead focus on a slowly glowing light in front of me, shaped into what could only be the exit of this lengthy pathway.

As I near the exit, the light continues to get brighter, and my curiosity eventually starts to toy with my mind, making me wonder what kind of place this dungeon is.

As I finally cross the threshold between darkness and light, my eyes are blinded momentarily, before an odd view shows itself.

In front of me is an ever-expanding field of grass, with trees scarcely populating the wavy plains, an encirclement of trees surrounding the expansive fields.

Dotting the fields of grass are various animals, yet somethings off about them... That being that rather than normal legs they instead of fins, as the whole field is encompassed in water, despite the environment.

I'm really impressed with these dungeons... And I haven't even seen the full of it! Of course, my praise only lasts for so long as I narrow my eyes thinking back on something.

'Say, big man, I can leave the dungeon... Right?'

[YES you CAN, after you CLEAR all the FLOORS!]

'Annnnd... I should've asked before entering huh? What a pain...'

As I take another glance around the dungeon floor I mentally sigh, before I start to swim away, purposefully avoiding any of the fish-animal-monsters.

My reason? It's that I need to find shelter first, as I want somewhere to retreat to in case something comes up.

So my search begins. I first check the trees, hoping maybe I can find a hole in one of them or maybe even an underground burrow.

And I found some! Only all of these were already filled with animals that I didn't want to deal with, so instead, I set my eyes on the edge of the plains, focusing on the encirclement of trees.

Swimming up high to get a better view I start to scan the area where the trees and plains meet, spotting something that looks a bit promising.

Darting towards it quietly as not to alert anyone, I quickly came to a stop in front of my target.

Before me was a large felled tree trunk, easily big enough to fit an adult human. Swimming around it to inspect it, I found just the right thing, on the back of it near the woods was a hole in the trunk, large enough for me to pass through.

Going through the hole I come into the tree. Inside the fallen tree was quite spacious, without any signs of other inhabitants, other than the blue glowing mushrooms that provide a nice light.

As I take in the dark atmosphere, a sudden hint of exhaustion hits my senses, making my body subconsciously float down to the ground. My fish eyes seem to grow darker in the dim hollowed trunk, a few thoughts rapidly entering my mind.

'Hm, so maybe I do have to sleep... Well, I guess I'll enjoy it...'

I curl up my body inside the large log, a final thought coming to me before I drift off to sleep within the dungeon.

'Man, I can't wait to kill these fishy bastards...'
