Woke Up to Find the Game I Made Came True-Chapter 108

As the white figure soared through the sky with the fishing rod, Ye Bai hadn’t even turned her head when she first heard the voice—a distinctly crisp and childish girl’s cry.

"Hungry, hungry—!"

Baffled, Ye Bai quickly turned to look in the direction where the fishing line had flown. There, on the ground behind her, sat a tiny figure.

The moment she got a clear look at the figure’s face, Ye Bai couldn’t help but freeze: So… so cute…

What is this, a baby version of a little mermaid?!

On the ground lay a little girl who looked no older than three or four. Her round face was adorned with a pair of large, emerald-green eyes, delicate and adorable. But the first thing anyone would notice was the cascade of fiery red hair that covered nearly half her body, soft and clinging to her like seaweed.

As Ye Bai turned around, the little girl’s eyes lit up at the sight of her. She stretched out her plump, stubby limbs, waving excitedly as she clumsily crawled toward her.

Her expression was as eager as a lost child who’d finally found family, but the only words that came out of her mouth were:

"Hungry! Hungry, hungry, hungry…"

"…Huh?" Ye Bai was completely dumbfounded by the scene. What in the world was going on?

There was no doubt about it—this little girl was undoubtedly a Deep Sea clansman. Similar to mermaids in lore, Deep Sea clansmen shed their fish-like traits upon coming ashore, naturally growing arms and legs until they looked no different from ordinary land-dwelling humans.

Of course, they also suffered a 20% stat debuff, unable to wield their full strength, especially when it came to deep-sea magic.

But Ye Bai had been fishing with a rod—how had she managed to hook a Deep Sea child?

The sheer absurdity of the situation left Ye Bai as stunned as when she’d first discovered that miraculous set of fishing gear at the heart of the island. She couldn’t help but inwardly grumble: Don’t tell me I’ve actually hooked the Sea God Kraken this time?

With that thought, Ye Bai cast an [Insight] on the little Deep Sea clansman crawling toward her:

[???]

Level: 1

"……"

No other stats were displayed—just a lone "Level 1."

This was clearly unusual. If this were a normal Level 1 NPC, more detailed attributes shouldn’t be hidden from Ye Bai. Even if the target’s level was higher than hers, it would show a string of question marks, not outright omit the information.

The only times Ye Bai had seen something like this were with special characters—like Autofis and Paperman.

Speaking of special characters… Ye Bai’s earlier suspicion resurfaced: There’s no way the Sea God Kraken could be this tiny, right?

And by "tiny," she didn’t mean young—just small in size.

Deep Sea clansmen—or rather, all deep-sea creatures—shared one defining trait: their strength was directly proportional to their size. The bigger they were, the stronger they became, and the stronger they were, the bigger they grew.

Ye Bai turned to Autofis and Paperman, but both looked just as bewildered by the little girl’s appearance. Even Paperman’s info vision couldn’t pull up any additional details.

Next, Ye Bai turned to the bait—the devil Alicio: "What did you see underwater?"

"Ha! I know nothing," Alicio retorted, crossing his arms. "I’m just your average, ordinary bait."

Seeing that Alicio wasn’t willing to explain how they’d hooked the little girl, Ye Bai didn’t press further. Asking a devil always came with conditions, and the answers weren’t guaranteed to be truthful anyway.

By now, the little girl had crawled and stumbled her way to within five or six meters of Ye Bai.

Then she stopped.

Not because she wanted to—but because the fishing hook tugged at her from behind.

Still gripping the fishing rod, Ye Bai finally noticed that the other end of the line was still attached to the hook, which was now snagged on the little girl’s "clothing."

That’s right—her flashy red hair had obscured it earlier, but now Ye Bai could see that the girl was actually wearing a vest dress seemingly woven from kelp and seaweed. On closer inspection, the craftsmanship was rather crude—whoever had made it clearly hadn’t put much effort in.

The mystery of how a deep-sea creature was hooked has been solved. It turns out the little girl wasn’t lured like a fish biting bait—instead, her clothes got caught on the fishing hook.

So… was Alicio lurking underwater, spotted the deep-sea folk, and then tricked their child?

Ye Bai cast a suspicious glance at Alicio, convinced she’d pieced together what happened beneath the waves, leaving him utterly baffled.

"Waaah! Hungry! Hungry hungry waaah!"

The little girl’s crisp cries snapped Ye Bai out of her thoughts.

Deep-sea creatures were classified as ‘fish’ by the system, and the fishing rod was indestructible. As long as Ye Bai kept it equipped, no amount of struggling would free the girl.

Realizing she couldn’t break loose, the girl suddenly burst into loud sobs.

Her tears were ordinary—though deep-sea folk shared many traits with mermaids, they lacked the ability to cry pearls. Ye Bai had considered this when designing the game, knowing players would eventually become the ‘final bosses.’ If tears turned to pearls, high-level players would likely farm deep-sea folk for profit.

"Uh… shh, don’t cry."

After a pause, Ye Bai relented and stowed the fishing rod in her backpack.

Freed from the system’s constraints, the hook trapping the girl’s seaweed vest vanished.

"Stop crying. What’s your—"

Before Ye Bai could finish, the girl suddenly shot forward at blinding speed, launching herself like a tiny cannonball.

"Huh?!"

Ye Bai’s heart lurched—she’d let her guard down, fooled by cuteness. A fatal mistake!

Thud.

The girl latched onto Ye Bai’s leg before she could react.

Something soft, damp, and squishy clung to her. Startled, Ye Bai looked down as the girl tilted her head up.

Their eyes met—Ye Bai stared into a pair of emerald-green orbs, sparkling with innocence and hope, still glistening with tears.

Hiss—

Too… too adorable!

Honestly, who wouldn’t let their guard down?

Ye Bai hesitated. "You…"

"Hungry!" the girl chirped, a drop of drool glinting at the corner of her mouth.

Mid-word, the girl’s eyes lit up. She whipped her head toward something behind Ye Bai, then slid off her leg—literally slid, her body so slippery and boneless it felt like she had no skeleton.

The moment her feet touched the ground, she zipped away at the same terrifying speed, scrambling toward her target.

Ye Bai followed her gaze just in time to see a tiny blur dive into—

The fish basket.

Splash!

The girl vanished inside.

Ye Bai’s pupils constricted. A bad feeling crept over her.

She hurried to the basket. Before she could touch it, a little red head popped out.

The girl gripped the basket’s rim, licked her lips, and blinked those same guileless green eyes at Ye Bai.

No way. Already?

That lip-licking gesture only deepened Ye Bai’s dread.

She checked the basket’s inventory.

The three rare, hundred-pound fish that should’ve filled it were gone. Now, the bottomless container held just one ‘fish’—

The red-haired girl smiling up at her.

Spotting Ye Bai, the girl stretched out her arms, demanding to be picked up. But her words remained unchanged:

"Hungry!"

Ye Bai: "…"

Holy—she wiped out a day’s worth of fish in seconds!

This wasn’t normal deep-sea behavior. Such an appetite, no visible stats… Could it be—?

Despite the overwhelming cuteness, Ye Bai resisted picking her up.

Trapped in the basket, the girl clearly wanted out but couldn’t—like all aquatic creatures, she was bound by the basket’s magic. Even poking her head out halfway didn’t grant escape.

Seizing the chance, Ye Bai hardened her tone. "Who are you?"

The girl tilted her head, confused. "Hungry?"

Ye Bai’s eye twitched. "…"

Is ‘hungry’ the only word she knows?

"What. Is. Your. Name?" Ye Bai repeated slowly.

The girl’s long red lashes drooped, casting shadows over her cheeks as she pouted.

"Hungry…"

Ye Bai scratched her head, suddenly feeling like a bully.

What do I do with a kid who only says ‘hungry’?

An idea struck. She pulled out a pre-grilled fish from her backpack—leftovers from a campfire cooking spree.

The girl’s eyes sparkled at the sight, drool reappearing.

Ye Bai handed her the skewer. In a flash, the fish—and the stick—disappeared.

"…" Even Autofis knows not to eat the bones!

"Now tell me who you are."

The girl blinked, her green eyes shimmering as if finally comprehending.

"Hungry… Kraken!"

Ye Bai: "Huh???"

She just—admitted it?!

Though the suspicion had nagged at her, hearing it confirmed outright left Ye Bai speechless.
