The Great Villain Starts by Fishing

In an endless ocean where humanity battles colossal sea beasts for survival, Chen Xuan awakens with a twisted advantage—he levels up by fishing monsters from the deep, but discovers he can dominate through fear itself. Why play hero when villainy tastes so sweet? Slaughtering thousands with a single strike, summoning storms at will, he rises as a demon lord who seals the heavens. Now the Star Sea's inhabitants face two choices: fish for their lives, or flee from the tyrant who turned their world into his hunting ground.
