PROLOGUE

The ass-end of nowhere.

The wrap-around, silver band circled the bridge, part of the bulkhead. Top-and-bottom, it was defined by seams of blue light. The band threw the captain's image back at him as he sat at the central command station. He wore his black hair long but didn't allow it to fall into eyes of silver that almost made him appear blind. Like all those on the bridge, his face looked too young for the uniform he wore.

He touched a green jewel chip on the arm of his chair. The silver crown crystalized to become transparent. Now, a ring of open space seemed to circle the bridge, chopping off the ceiling.

Leaving the ship, were metallic tears, life-pods falling into unknown space. The captain watched their retreat.

"Poor kids. I suppose this is the best we can offer them."

"Sir?" A woman approached him. She had the same silver eyes, but her hair was dark garnet. She, too, wore high rank on the ship's uniform. "You act like there's a place for them in our society. The Rejects ought to be grateful not to have been disposed of at birth. They were mercifully allowed a childhood. And now our compassion is giving them a chance at life—somewhere else. You can't say we haven't acted with honor."

Sending them into uncharted space, hoping they find what will likely be a primitive world; is that a true blessing?

The captain had lived for hundreds of years and seen many Rejects sent off this way, none of them to ever return. If not for his race's devotion to genetic perfection, their civilization could not have reached such glorious advancement or sustained such stability over the ages.

Sacrifices are required. Evolved beings do not get angry over such necessities.

Tamping down his anger, the captain turned his chair to face the executive officer. "XO, were all the pods up to service requirements?"

"Yes sir, and—as ordered—number five pod was left uninspected."

Yes, we can't have records showing a child received an advantage that others weren't given. That would be unfair.

"We'll not bother to add that fact to the official records," he said.

"No, sir." She agreed without arguing. Arguing might have hurt her career. The request for special handling had come from much higher up, from the parents of the boy in pod number five. The XO spoke softly. "So, that was him, the one immune to gel-tech modification?"

"Yes, the first such mutation we've seen, but that was only one of the reasons for his Rejection. His psych profile is alarming: wild, unconventional, a mind dismissive of rules, dominating the upper reaches of intelligence with no cap in sight."

She nodded sagely. "A clear danger to us all."

The most ferocious and heated mecha adventure around is finally here! TL Note: This is a novel about doing the impossible, seeing the invisible. Follow along for a ride across the universe! TL;DR: Not Shakespeare, not complex, but fun and easy to read. Come support! As the translator, I've enjoyed translating this novel and I hope to bring the essence of what the author has tried to portray into the chapters you will read. To sum it up in 3 words: Mechs! Explosions! Science! To be perfectly honest, this novel is about your typically overpowered protagonist who does get looked down from time to time but always overcomes the odds with his own special power. He's abit more mature having grown up on his own and just a littttttttle bit dense. Although it always ends up with him winning, it always happens in an interesting (subjective) and fun way that makes me enjoy reading this. The novel has elements of lighthearted comedy from time to time and I do chuckle at how direct the humor is. It's not as smart as say WMW nor does it weave an intricate story much like Ergen's novels. More importantly, its fun and it doesn't try to hide it.

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?!"
