Chapter 2: The remnant soul

"No, I'm still a virgin, and I refuse to pass away in this manner."

Hungry and thirsty, Stev made a concertrated effort to recall the original owner's memory of this game in hopes of uncovering some helpful details that could help him to get over the current difficulties.

[Welcome to the global survival game. You are randomly assigned to various desperate situations. Survival is your only goal]

[Congratulations, you are assigned to the marine environment. Please keep the following in mind, it may helps you:]

[PS: This world has more secrets than you imagine. Survive, so you can explore on your own. ]

[PS once again: Once you enter, don't even consider leaving.]

[System prompt: Congratulations, you have obtained Void Remnant Soul·Floating Kun X1. ]

The prior advice did not assist Stev in resolving the issue at hand because it was all basic game knowledge that was taken from the original owner's memory.

Stev squinted his brows at the last message.

He can be certain that the original owner did not remember anything like that.

​

"Open the panel."

Stev thought silently in his heart.

A transparent virtual gaming panel materialized.

'It is still surprizing to witness something that extraordinary.' He thought as he had not seen anything similar to this in his world.

[Backpack][Manufacturing][Chat][Forum]

There are a total of four sections.

He start concetrating on the backpack section.

It contained a square block with twenty grids.

There were only a thing in the backpack section.

On the first grid, there was a thing that resembled a tiny blue whale.

It was exactly like that creature that he had been trodden on and burst into blue energy that entered his body before he passed out.

[Remnant Soul of the Void·Floating Kun]

Quality: Diamond

Durability: 1/1

Effect: A small prop can gain the characteristics of floating and wind control.

Evaluation: A spiritual creature that specializes in eating the souls of the dead. It has almost no attack power and low intelligence. However, it lives in the cracks of the void dimension and almost no one can find it. Seeing it means that you are dead.

(Item level: black iron, bronze, silver, gold, diamond, legend, epic, myth)

"Maybe I can be saved!" he exclaimed.

His eyes brightened after learning the details of [Remnant Soul of the Void·Floating whale].

Since the original owner is obviously no longer alive, this floating whale sprang from the void dimension's opening in order to consume his soul.

However, its limited intelligence led it to believe that there was still a soul to consume when Stev suddenly appeared.

In the end Stev killed it by trampling over it like a cockroach.

This was quite fortunate for Stev. He would have been in serious trouble if this tiny creature had returned to the gap between dimensions or if he arrived there a little later.

Without making any noise, he removed the [Remnant Soul of the Void·Floating whale], and a tiny light blue whale materialized in his grasp.

He press it to the raft and a brilliant blue light sprang up on it, lasting for almost ten seconds before gradually fading away.

Although the raft remained mostly unchanged, it has shrunk from its original square shape and grown longer and thinner, resembling a flat whale.

It emerged from the water at the same moment, rising around 50 cm above it.

[Raft Base·Floating]

Quality: Bronze

Durability: 98/100

Characteristics: Floating, controlling the wind

Evaluation: The raft base integrated with [Remnant Soul of the Void·Floating whale] has gained the ability to float and control the wind.

Control: Just think about it and the raft base will do it.

Stev finally exhaled in relief upon seeing the successful merging of the two.

He still feared that the raft base was ineligible to use this floating whale's residual soul which was a diamond grade material.

"Well, I check the other section later"

He had spent the entire day and night without eating or taking a sip of water.

"My body is terribly debilitated. I will die too if I don't find something to eat or drink." He mumbled.

He dismissed the panel and started looking for supplies.

Palm leaves, wooden boards, plastic and most importantly wooden barrels and boxes, that obviously contained food and water, were floating on the endless sea separated by a distance.

In approximate 100 meter away from Stev was a wooden barrel and a woodden box.

He narrowed his eyes and realized that the barrel was closer to him.

Without any delay, he maneuvered the raft's base and employed the wind control mechanism to glide in the direction of the barrel.

The raft base moved at a speed that is comparable to that of an average adult strolling.

It arrived to the barrel after about a minute.

Stev labored to drag the barrel onto the raft after lowering it.

Panting, Stev licked his chapped lips as he looked at the wooden barrel with a faint red light in front of him.

At the same time, he prayed in his heart that there were water.

With a frustrated mood, he opened the lid of the barrel.

[Obtain wood*2]

[Obtain plastic*2]

[Obtain milk bread*2]

[Obtain blueprint: Exquisite fishing rod]

Suddenly, Stev's empty backpack contained some extra items in the first four grids.

"Although the bread is good, I am more in need for water."

He wanted to cry, but Stev was dry-eyed.But, even if he wanted to, he couldn't cry right now. He had to control his tears, even if they were falling. He wasn't willing to throw away even a drop of water.

[Milk bread]

Quality: black iron

Durability: 1/1

Characteristics: A food that satisfies hunger and contains a trace of nutrients.

Stev maneuvered the raft to raise once more and drift in the direction of the farther-off wooden box.

He gave up on stopping to pick up the plastics and wooden boards as he passed them.

He was worried that he might go into a total coma if he stopped as all he had left to cling to was his willpower.
