Tide Hunter: Drawing a Mermaid at the Start

In the modern coastal city of Wanghai, with its long coastline and complex reef waters, the mermaid clan has had a secret contractual relationship with certain human families (the Su family) for centuries. Numerous shipwrecks and underwater cave ruins lie dormant on the seabed. Tide hunters make their living in these waters, but most know nothing of the deep zones. Xie Yan, an orphaned tide hunter exploited by others, gradually rises to become the 'Ocean Overlord' of the entire sea area. His core abilities include 'Sea Domain Control' (marine life within a 100-meter radius obeys his commands), along with auxiliary skills like underwater breath-holding, night vision, and sonar detection. The 'Ocean Overlord System' grants him power boosts through tide hunting, exploration, and completing inheritance tasks. The ultimate goal is to complete the inheritance of the 'Three Fragments' left by the Mermaid Queen and activate the final form of the Ocean Overlord. — Description from novelcodex.org
