Synopsis

[The 34th Galaxy Award for Best Online Novel] [The No.1 on the Science Fiction Literature IP Adaptation Value Potential List (2023)] [The Best Chinese Science Fiction Online Novel] … Have you heard? When the night is deep and silent, if you open your music player, put on headphones, curl up under the covers, and cover your head, listening to the same song on loop. After the loop has played forty-four times and you fall asleep, if you're unlucky, when you open your eyes again, you will no longer be lying in your own bed, but will have entered a bizarre space completely isolated from reality. That space... on the surface, it appears to be places we commonly see, such as one’s own bedroom, the living room at home, the underground garage, the bathroom, the basketball court, construction sites, etc., but if you observe carefully, you'll realize that everything is different...everything. ==== This is the story of an ordinary person, named Common, who after acquiring supernatural abilities, gradually transforms and grows in an alternate world, ultimately reaching the pinnacle of their experience.

Chapter 1Mysterious 1

Late at night.

In the bedroom, moonlight pierced through the gaps in the curtains, casting a lone streak on the floor, becoming the only source of light.

Within the pale moonlight, the tiny shadows of insects crawling on the window flashed faintly.

Woo~

A vehicle from the residential area, with a gentle hum of its engine, passed by beneath the window outside.

The harsh white headlights shone through the curtain gaps, tracing a fan-shaped halo on the ceiling, which then slowly faded away as the vehicle moved on.

Click.

An old cassette was inserted into the player, and as the lid closed, a sound of opening and closing was heard.

Li Chengyi frowned as he plugged in his headphones and adjusted the volume, and soon, a quiet stream of music drifted out from the headphones and into his ears.

The music was lyricless, purely a blend of classical instruments: guzheng and pipa.

The tempo was relaxed, clear.

The sounds from the two instruments intertwined like two delicate and sharp threads, sometimes entangling, sometimes clearly delineated.

It was as if they were recounting an ancient story, or resembling two pale fingers ceaselessly twisting around each other.

Li Chengyi lay on his side against the pillow, staring at the pitch-black curtains, motionless, listening to the song in his headphones.

The cool pillowcase gradually warmed from the heat of his face, starting to release a faint fragrance of laundry detergent.

He lay there with open eyes, as if zoning out, yet as if he were contemplating something.

He clearly remembered that twenty minutes earlier, he had still been halfway up a mountain hike; twenty minutes later, he simply discovered a pretty little flower, and then suddenly felt dizzy... everything changed, and he found himself in another body, in this room, this world. He had become much younger.

After ten minutes of shock, doubt, and incredulity, he began to accept reality.

At this moment, a flood of information and memories rapidly fused with his own in his mind. These were all from another Li Chengyi who shared his name, the memories of nearly two decades in this world.

The information was incomplete, much of it blurry. But it was enough for him to get a preliminary grasp of his situation.

"Tomorrow, I have a very important friend coming to visit our home, so you and Li Chengyi should go out for a stroll, find something to do, and don't come back until after five in the afternoon, got it?"

A deep, young woman's voice faintly came from outside the bedroom.

Li Chengyi's train of thought snapped as the name automatically surfaced with the sound of that voice—it was Li Chengjiu.

This was his current body's older sister, presumably talking with their parents.

"All right, don't worry, we definitely won't interfere with your matters," their mother Feng Yurong replied cautiously.

The father didn't say a word, merely breathing slightly heavier, a silent agreement.

"Jiu, about... your brother's job situation still hasn't been settled, look..." their mother cautiously broached another subject.

"What's the rush, I haven't even stabilized the situation yet, we'll discuss it later. Don't cause me trouble," Li Chengjiu replied impatiently.

"Rest assured, absolutely not, absolutely not," their mother, Feng Yurong, responded softly.

"Go to sleep, and remember, don't come back before twelve, and if you see me going out with a girl with very pale skin, don't greet me. Just pretend you don't know me, got it?" Li Chengjiu continued.

"Rest assured, rest assured, we will stay away; we certainly won't mess up your important matters," their mother's voice paused, then quietly answered.

"Oh, yes," Li Chengjiu paused, "I have to pay my tuition fees this month, about one hundred and ninety thousand. You'll have to pay it for me tomorrow."

"One hundred and ninety thousand... Didn't we just pay a large sum?" mother Feng Yurong struggled a bit. Her husband and she were tight on money because of their frequent payments.

One hundred and ninety thousand was no small sum.

"This time it's for material costs, plus training fees!" Li Chengjiu said impatiently. "Don't you still have your pensions? Withdraw them to pay for it first, and then slowly replenish it later."

"This..." mother Feng Yurong hesitated, "Okay, we'll make sure it gets paid."

She didn't mention that their pension had already been withdrawn a long time ago to pay for Li Chengjiu's expenses.

Recently, the factory's profitability had been down, and their wages had been reduced. They really were strapped for cash.

Li Chengjiu grunted and pushed back her chair, rose to her feet, and walked to the bathroom to freshen up.

Leaving Feng Yurong and her husband, Li Zhao, sitting in the living room, speaking softly.

"I don't have enough pension funds on my side; you'll have to withdraw from the medical fund to make up for it, our daughter's future is important," Feng Yurong whispered.

"There's also Xiao Yi's job; we have to find connections and pay money. If it's all taken out, how will we manage medical expenses? Don't you need treatment for your back pain? You still need to get medicine every day," father Li Zhao replied rigidly.

"Let's just tighten our belts a bit more, we will make it up quickly, don't worry. My back doesn't hurt much now, it's fine," Feng Yurong whispered urgently, "Okay, okay, our daughter's future is more important, don't hold her back at a critical time."

"I got it, I got it," the father replied irritably, pausing before sighing deeply, seemingly a mix of helplessness and discomfort.

Then there was the sound of the two of them on their phones, figuring out how to go about the transactions.

Li Chengyi lay on the bed, eyes wide open, letting out a soft sigh.

Involuntarily, his mind conjured up the scene from the day before yesterday of his father, Li Zhao, speaking in a low voice on the balcony, asking relatives for money.

Although still unfamiliar with his surroundings, the parental love of this body's parents was a match for that of his previous parents, settling some of his unease.

Different bodies, different worlds, yet the sacrifice of parents for their children seemed to be universally the same.

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?!"
