Chapter 466: Macquio Booma, The First Ancient Megalodon.
"It all started on the night of the red moon when I was born".
"I was born in the Red Cove".
"Day and night in the Red Cove were always dominated by the red glow of the primordial origin magic. But there is this day of the year that the red glow converges to form what the Atlantians call a red moon".
"During the red moon, the glow of the primordial origin magic converges on the moon, leaving every other part of the Great Sea dark".
"I was born on this dark day".
"My parents died the same day that they gave birth to me, attacked and devoured by a group of Devouring Snakes. I survived since they disdained to eat a small and immature Great White Shark like me".
"Alone, I learned from day 1 to live and survive in the wild".
"I faced a lot of challenges, I almost died 48 times, but I survived. I thrived where countless others would have died and I finally evolved".
"Once I evolved to the white tier realm, I got the ground that I needed. This was when my adventurous nature started becoming more prominent".
"I was a mischievous little shark, spreading trouble everywhere I went".
"In the white tier realm, I almost died 354 times".
"With time, it became clear that I was unusual as, despite all the challenges that I faced, I always found a way to survive and grow stronger from them".
"It was like, I was the only one worthy to live in this world while everyone else that faced me had to die, my luck was otherworldly".
"On my 10th birthday, I evolved again to the orange tier realm".
"From here, my near-death experiences decreased to 203 times".
"3 more decades later, I evolved to the purple tier realm. This was when I was really unleashed, I became bold, I went everywhere, causing havoc everywhere without caring for the consequences".
"This was the first time that I met Draconon, the first Vampire Shark that I had ever seen and the most shameless shark that I have ever seen".
"For the first time in my life, I meant someone like me. Someone who was not like the unworthy others, someone who was worthy like me and also had otherworldly luck that even made me question my luck at times".
"While I was strong and aggressive, he was strong and cunning".
"On our first-ever battle, we got ourselves so injured that we retreated in a dignified manner like gentlemen without admitting that we fought to a draw".
"From that day, Draconon became my greatest rival".
"With time, our exploits made us famous in the Red Cove and it soon turned us into household names then. All these only made the will for one of us to defeat the other stronger, and as young brash sharks, we went for it again".
"This time, we fought so long and so hard that we literally broke all the muscles in our bodies, we retreated after fighting to a draw again".
"I was frustrated this time, so I locked myself in isolation to train".
"Of course, I still went out, I was an adventure-maniac inwardly. Despite this, I tried to draw as less attention as possible to slowly grow my strength".
"I worked hard for 5 decades till I evolved again, I became a Red tier predator. Man, this was the power that gave me undaunted confidence".
"Immediately, I went after the shameless Draconon again. We may have never fought again in 5 decades but we never forgot each other".
"This time, I trashed Draconon completely till he was left helpless. I thought I already killed him, but at the last moment, that piece of sh*t evolved in battle".
"Draconon’s luck was so astonishing that he skipped all the unnecessary parts and became a Red tier predator on the spot".
"Due to this, we fought the greatest battles of our lives to that point".
"Our battle was legendary!"
"We destroyed the surrounding terrain, thousands died to the shockwaves of our attacks, it almost seemed apocalyptic but to my frustration, it ended in a draw again, like wtf!"
"After this battle, we both grew tired of the rivalry".
"If you can’t beat them, join them".
"This we did, we became friends since we couldn’t beat each other".
"It sounds crazy, but just a few months later, we became best friends. We did everything together, from hunting to feeding, to going on adventures, we were notorious maniacs who spread terror through the Red Cove then".
"After another century of mischievousness were experiences of life made us more mature, Draconon did it first, evolving again into the Black tier realm".
"Just a month later, I evolved also".
"Draconon became known as the Blood Vampire, while I became known as the Ancient Megalodon, we became pinnacle powerhouses of our Great Sea".
"After becoming Black tier predators, we now stood at the top of the world. More courageous now, we toured the rest parts of the world, the remaining 6 Great Seas for 5 decades before eventually returning home to the Red Cove".
"After the last evolution, we both felt on top of the world, we felt like there was nothing to pursue again but we were wrong after we were attracted by the primordial origin magic".
"We were offered access to something that we never thought was possible, we were granted access to power far stronger than the typical Black tier power".
"We were granted access to unique skills!"
"This was what broke our friendship, we both wanted the unique skill exclusive to the Red Cove and we became rivals again to get it".
"In this quest for the unique skill, we met the Red Overlord, Kasuyi!"
"Alongside other Black tier predators then, the 3 of us became the prime candidates to get a unique skill. After a vicious contest of wits and might, Draconon suffered a grave injury after being ambushed by Kasuyi".
"Kasuyi, I, and another Black tier predator were the lucky ones who got access inside the Temple of the Sages to get their inheritance".
"To our surprise, on getting in, the injured Draconon also sneaked in".
"In there, we fought another legendary battle for the inheritance where the 4th wheel Black tier predator died. Because of our personal rivalry, Kasuyi was able to take advantage of us, getting the ultimate inheritance in the end".
"After all our struggles, forfeiting even friendship in the end, we failed, and Kasuyi won, he got and integrated with the Blood unique skill, becoming the Blood King of the Red Cove".
"I and Draconon didn’t die though, we met the Sages where we were finally exposed to the truth of the world that we live in".
"After being exposed to the astonishing truth of our world, I and Draconon began rethinking our lives. A day later, we apologized".
"We both knew that we f*cked up, so it became easier to reconcile".
"After reconciling, we accepted the invitation of the Sages and we joined the army of the Myth Realm to stop the rampage of the Ancient Cthulu’s army".
"This is the tale of my life".
"This is the tale of how a Great White Shark rose to the peak!"
"This is the tale of the potential hidden in our bloodline. Great White Sharks are Kings, Megalodons are Emperors, we can do everything!"
"The war is still on, to know more about it, become a Black tier predator. Once you become one, you may get the privilege to meet me, your ancestor".
"Remember, the will of the Sages is of good and not evil".
