The Merman, My Man Chapter 143: The First Changes
Perhaps it was due to Dicken’s seduction and the hormones he had emitted, but I felt like I had fallen in love with him. This ambiguous feeling disappeared when Dicken put me down onto a rock. I froze in shock when I looked at my hands. The space between my fingers had a translucent membrane connecting them as they glinted under the moonlight. It’s some type of webbed membrane! It wasn’t a hallucination this time, and I could tell that I wasn’t dreaming either. That was because a similar webbed claw was holding my hand, and his touch felt real. “Dicken…What did you do to me?” I withdrew my hand from Dicken and looked at my webbed claws dumbfoundedly as I asked him in shock. “Your first…changes…are coming.” Suddenly, my vision went black. Before I completely lost consciousness, I felt Dicken’s claw caressing my cheek and his deep eyes looking at me as he answered in a low voice. In my half-conscious state, I felt stinging and itchiness in my legs. It felt like I was being
The Merman, My Man Chapter 144: Breaking the Illusion
‘What is this?!’ I desperately hit the glass in front of me and started shouting, but the only response I could hear was the banging sounds I had made. ‘Goddamnit! Why is this happening?!’ I continued banging on the glass in front of me, but I couldn’t even make a crack. I frantically looked around and saw a dark shadow through the glass. It was Dicken! I made my way toward him but then stopped in shock. Dicken was wearing a black windbreaker, and the thick tail that made up his lower body was gone. It was replaced with a pair of long legs wearing a pair of sweatpants. Through the reflection of the glass, I could clearly see the state I was in. My legs had become a silver fishtail that was moving naturally along with the water currents, and my upper body was completely nude, revealing my feminine features. Stunned, I stared back at Dicken as he looked at me with his deep eyes. He placed his hand onto the glass as if he had wanted to touch me, but the panel of glass was
The Merman, My Man Chapter 145: Fleeing
The extreme panic made me hyperventilate, and I felt like I was about to suffocate. I took continuous deep breaths to force myself to calm down. Then, I rubbed my temples to make myself stay awake and not faint again. I had to accept the reality of things. I had grown gills like a mermaid behind my ears and could breathe freely in the water. I even had an illusion that my leg had become a tail and my hands had turned into webbed claws. My body had undergone changes after reacting to something from a biological standpoint. In other words, this could be considered a genetic mutation. Even though I wasn’t thinking straight, I could still recite my knowledge in genetics from my studies. Genetic mutations are the primary cause of changes to a being’s biological makeup. Many factors could lead to genetic mutations, and they could be classified into three categories. The first category is physical factors such as X-rays and lasers. The second category is chemical factors that could re
The Merman, My Man Chapter 146: Masking My Scent
I checked the preparations I had made and suddenly felt more confident and fearless. I felt like a seasoned adventurer, just like Robinson Crusoe! After that, I had to take a crucial step to determine whether I could successfully escape this cave. I had to dive and swim in the sea with my newly grown gills to help me breathe underwater. I approached the pool that Dicken had used to bring me deep underwater. Then, I crouched down and dove into the water decisively. When I confirmed that I could breathe underwater without any issues, I swam downward as fast as possible. At that moment, some part of me couldn’t bear to leave, but the rush of water currents didn’t allow me to ponder further. I seemed to be swimming into the deeper parts of the ocean with the instincts of an actual fish. I swam at a speed that no regular human being could, then I saw the light above me and broke through the water surface. I wiped away the droplets of water on my face with the back of my hand as I fo
The Merman, My Man Chapter 147: Successful Escape
Right then, I felt a stinging pain in my ankle. I looked down and saw three leeches attached to it and were burrowing their teeth deeper into my skin. One of them had already burrowed deeper than the other two, causing the pain to intensify as if a drill was drilling a hole into me. I hated leeches, and I was tempted to jump up and flick them away, but my determination to stay hidden forced me to remain still. Even the smallest of sounds could alert Dicken of my whereabouts. Besides, I couldn’t get these three leeches off me from a mere flicking. Even if I jumped up and down, I wouldn’t have been able to remove them. My movements would only catch Dicken’s attention before being dragged back to his cave. So, I could only grit my teeth to withstand the pain. I remained still and observed Dicken, who was nearby. I could see him sniffing the air, but he didn’t look like he could identify my scent. His solid chest anxiously rose and fell as he couldn’t find me. Suddenly, he crouched l
The Merman, My Man Chapter 148: Assault of Ice and Fire
I was now completely alone. I had to rely on myself to survive and look for Peter and the others. I knew that I didn’t have as much survival skills or experience compared to Jack, but at least I had some experience camping in the wild. Furthermore, I was knowledgeable on matters pertaining to biology. As long as I was careful enough not to bump into Dicken, I believed I could safely get back to the boat. Therefore, I took out the looking glass and looked toward the sea with it. After scanning the sea for a while, I saw a few bright lights coming closer from the west of the islands. I figured that these could be ships, and the bright lights in the sky could be helicopters. I was excited at first, but not long after, I was overcome with worry because I had no way of knowing whether they were Laura’s men or reinforcements that Jack had called for. It was also possible that they were neither. Nonetheless, these boats were my biggest hope of leaving these islands. I estimated when the
The Merman, My Man Chapter 149: The Second Wave
I wanted to figure out what was happening to me, but the extreme adverse sensation in my body prevented me from thinking straight. When the wave of coldness hit, I couldn’t help but tremble and curl myself up tightly. And when the wave of heat came, I felt like my skin could emit steam, and my body felt like it was boiling. I tossed and turned around on the ground as my throat released a series of agonizing moans. ‘Good God! What is happening to me? Is this the beginning of the second change? Why is it that this is happening so soon after the first? No wonder Dicken was looking for me. What will I grow this time? A tail? Webbed claws?‘No! I can’t let something terrible like that happen again. I have to withstand the torment and get treated before the next changes come!’ I closed my eyes in anguish and dug my fingers into the soil as I tolerated the extreme sensations. Eventually, the alternating waves of hot and cold started to reduce in frequency. However, a different and stra
The Merman, My Man Chapter 150: Revelation of a Conspiracy
I tensed up when I realized those were Gary’s and Laura’s voices. I shrunk myself under the shade of the tree with my back plastered against its trunk. I spied on them through the corner of my eye and saw that they were next to some stone pillars less than ten meters away. If they came closer to where I was, they would have heard the sound of my reggae breathing as well as my suppressed moans. I could only clamp my hand onto my mouth and nose tightly and not move as I listened to my own loud and rapid heartbeat. I couldn’t help but tremble as I wished they wouldn’t notice my presence. “I have a feeling she’s nearby,” said Gary. He looked around and swept the beam of his flashlight around the tall grass. He was headed in my direction, so I shrunk my body further and hid behind the tree trunk. My heart felt like it had jumped up to my throat when he took notice of the tree I was behind. Thankfully, at that moment, Laura called for him. “Stop the search, Gary. It’s getting in th
