Ashes Of Deep Sea

Duncan Abnomar was transmigrated to a magical world. Most of the lands of the world had sunken, and the surviving humans could only live on islands. Due to an unknown reason, the world was also contaminated and strange phenomena and things would randomly appear. Humans had developed steam gear technology, and the islands were connected through boats. They survived by studying strange phenomena that happened all around the world. However, as the captain of a scary-looking ghost ship, Duncan was facing a huge challenge. "How the heck do I steer this ship?" Highly recommended by experienced editor: MC is transmigrated to a world mostly covered in water and far from civilization. He becomes the captain of the ghost ship, the 'Homeloss'. He steers through the fog and adventures through the broken world and the unknown deep sea. As he discovers the ruins of abandoned civilization, he would also stumble into the war between the strange phenomena and the devil gods. The story takes place in a combination of ocean and Chutly mythology world, a new and interesting background. It’s an attractive story to read due to the author’s sense of humor and mastery over the ambiance of the story. --------------- Another-style introduction: "On that day, a thick fog engulfed everything. On that day, he became the captain of a ghost ship. On that day, he crossed the dense fog and faced a completely overturned and shattered world – the former order was completely gone, and peculiar phenomena dominated the endless seas beyond civilized society. The island city-states and the fleets challenging the sea have become the only lights of civilization left, while the shadows of old days still lurk in the deep sea, waiting to devour this dying world again. But for the new captain, there's only one pressing question – Does anyone know how to sail this damn ship?!"

Chapter 312: An Invitation from an Old Father

No one understood the barrier between life and death better than Tirian and his undead sailors.

The Death God Bartok had a door that anchored the boundary between life and death; in short, once the soul of a living person passed through that door, they would arrive in the world of the dead, and that door was one-way—in other words, unless that door had been passed through, neither a temporary reawakening of a corpse nor a persistent undead curse could truly be considered "resurrection from the dead."

"Many people in the world confuse 'undead' with 'the dead,' even thinking the former have exploited a loophole in the door of the death god," Tirian turned around, looking at the clamoring sailors in the square, and said calmly, "but in fact, they are only rejected by that door due to soul contamination, hence being stuck on the brink between life and death. According to the strict concept of the Death Church, 'undead' actually belong to the world of the living."
