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 88: There is a Genuine Article

The old gentleman walked into the antique shop, curiously examining the surroundings—the aged display windows, the cheap iron shelves, and the so-called "antiques" almost randomly placed about—perfectly embodied the positioning of the shop:

In the entire store, except for the money taken, there wasn't a single thing that wasn't fake.

However, this elder gentleman, who didn't at all resemble the common folks of the Lower City District, was still looking over the items in the shop with great interest until Duncan's voice came from the direction of the counter; only then did he finally turn his gaze.

"That's an interesting saying," the elder gentleman chuckled, "taking away what's fated... Putting aside the objects themselves, the sentiment is quite beautiful."

"Actually, fate alone isn't enough—you also need money," Duncan returned the smile, "Fortunately, everything here is inexpensive—are there any items you wish to buy?"
