Death was supposed to be the abyss. Instead, it was an egg. Meng Tian awakens not as a man, but at the very bottom of the food chain. a tiny, struggling sea serpent hatchling adrift in a vast, primordial ocean. He isn't alone. Coiled beside him is a fragile little sister, the only family he has left in this unforgiving new life. But the deep waters hide ancient terrors. As mysterious dreams whisper of forgotten epochs and dormant bloodlines slowly awaken in his veins, Meng Tian realizes this ocean is far older, and deadlier, than he ever imagined. He has no grand ambitions of conquest. He doesn't want to become a dragon god or a tyrant of the seas. He only wishes to carve out a safe haven for his sister and build a place they can truly call home. Yet, in a world where leviathans rule and only the strong survive, peace must be bought with power. To protect his family, the smallest of serpents must scheme, survive, and evolve. The endless sea is watching. And even the smallest ripple can create a legend. π WHAT TO EXPECT: Slow-Burn Progression: A true zero-to-hero journey. Every scale earned, every evolution unlocked, is fought for and heavily grounded in the world's lore.
