The sun blazed over Isla Nublar, casting its golden rays across the shimmering surface of the Mosasaurus Lagoon. Tourists packed the stadium, buzzing with excitement as the Jurassic World guide stood before them, her voice amplified through hidden speakers.
> "The Mosasaurus was thought to have hunted near the surface of the water, preying on anything it could sink its teeth into — from turtles to large fish... even smaller mosasaurs."
She flashed a rehearsed smile at the audience.
> "Okay folks, let's see if she's still hungry — even after eating earlier today."
With a press of a button, a great white shark hanging from a suspended cable began to lower toward the water. The crowd leaned forward, eager for the show.
Among the spectators were Zach and Gray, seated near the center stands. Gray watched with rapt attention, bouncing in his seat with excitement. Zach, meanwhile, barely looked up from his phone.
> "Zach, it's the Mosasaurus!" Gray nudged his brother. "C'mon, you're gonna miss it!"
Before Zach could respond, the water exploded upward in a thunderous spray. A titanic shape breached the surface — sleek, massive, With a bone-rattling snap, the Mosasaurs clamped its jaws around the dangling shark, tearing it from the cable before vanishing beneath the water, leaving behind waves that splashed across the first rows of astonished guests.
Cheers erupted.
But beneath the water, in the silent deep, something else stirred — something no one in the audience could ever imagine.
> [Ding!]
"Great White Shark DNA detected. Do you wish to fuse or store for later?"
> 'Store for later,' Xavier thought irritably.
It had been two months since he woke up in this world — reincarnated as a Mosasaurus. At first, the novelty had been thrilling: being a dinosaur, swimming in pristine waters, existing in a place he once knew only from movies. But that thrill had long since faded.
Now? It was routine.
He ate fish. Slept. Swam in circles. Performed in front of tourists like some aquatic sideshow attraction. His tank might as well have been a golden prison.
Still, the system kept him from slipping into despair. It was his lifeline — a beacon of hope in a life otherwise dominated by instinct and spectacle.
He could extract and fuse DNA from anything he consumed or got its genetic material. Fish, sharks… and eventually, much more. He could even exchange DNA for creatures from other worlds. But the system worked on a principle of equal genetic value. Low-tier genes like fish or regular sharks couldn't be swapped for the genetics of a Titan, a Kaiju, or anything from beyond this world.

Xavier stared at the floating interface in silence, his massive body drifting slowly beneath the still waters of the lagoon. When he first arrived in this world, the system had explained its rules in vivid detail — evolution through integration, growth through combat, and limitless potential. He had been thrilled at the idea… especially when he learned he could earn Kill Points even from feedings.
That excitement had evaporated quickly.
> They only feed me dead animals.
No kill points.Just dead fish, corpses, and theatrical tricks for tourist applause. He was a predator reduced to a sideshow, an apex beast shackled in a watery cage.
He turned his gaze upward, past the shimmering water, through the reinforced glass of the viewing dome. Tourists clapped, laughed, and pointed. He was the spectacle, not the hunter.
> I'm no different than a circus animal… he grumbled irritably.
The genes he had collected so far were a joke — aquatic, limited, and passive. They made him better at surviving here, but here wasn't where he wanted to stay.
What he missed most… were legs. The power to walk, run, leap. To breathe air, roam land, and tower above lesser creatures.
And only one creature in this world could give that to him — the Indominus Rex.
Her genes were his ticket out: not just to legs, but to power, hybridization, and the unlocking of the System Exchange Shop.
