"Welcome to the Age of Sail Global Survival Game....""From now on, you will spend the rest of your lives at sea.....""Do not worry if your bodies are diseased or impaired. This system will heal them all, granting you a relatively fair starting point.....""You may sail freely upon the seas, and do whatever you wish....""Whether you become a nameless nobody, or a name that resounds throughout the world, is entirely up to you....""The ocean will grant you infinite possibilities, and there is only one thing you must pay attention to.""Keep moving forward, and do not be overtaken by the black fog behind you.""The current speed of the black fog is ten knots!"......................A strange voice echoed from within his mind.Yang Yi awoke to find himself lying on an old, worn-out bed. He tried to sit up, but the dust that billowed up sent him into a coughing fit.Glancing around, he found himself in a cramped, dimly lit, dilapidated room. Not far off was a table, upon which lay a desiccated skeleton. Its left hand was still clenched around a rusted flintlock pistol. The better part of its skull was missing—it looked to have died by suicide."This is...?"Yang Yi showed no fear. Instead, he stared down at his own emaciated hands. He could stand up. This was nothing short of a miracle!Just a few minutes ago, Yang Yi had been a patient paralyzed in his bed. Now, he had miraculously recovered his health!At the age of twelve, he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. By twenty, he was completely paralyzed. But he never gave up on his life. He continued to play and livestream games using {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} only his mouth, earning his own living until he was twenty-five. He often played horror games and had little reaction to a motionless skeleton."What that voice said... it's true!" Yang Yi muttered to himself, looking out the window.Before him stretched a boundless ocean, its waves churning from time to time. At the same moment, the strange, androgynous voice resounded once more."Everyone should now know where they are!""That's right! You are all at sea, each of you separated by more than five hundred nautical miles. You won't be meeting each other anytime soon.""Near you, there should be a booklet called the Nautical Log.""It contains many useful functions, including one that will allow you to communicate without barriers. You'll know once you try it.""As for other content, it will be shared with everyone in the form of announcements in the future. Please look forward to it...."The voice faded.Yang Yi looked down and saw the booklet on the bed. The words 'Nautical Log' were written on its black cover. It was no bigger than the palm of his hand. It emitted a faint glow, as if calling for Yang Yi to open it.Yang Yi picked it up and opened it. The first page was written with rules.【1. Without permission, others cannot board your ship.】【2. Items on your ship cannot be stolen by other players, unless you are dead.】【3. Every ship is equipped with a grappling hook of infinite durability. Bravely seize any items that float by!】【4. You need to upgrade and strengthen your ship to make it look safe enough to sail.】【5. Be careful at night, and beware the mists. Once you are caught in the black fog behind you, you will die.】【6. This manual is soul-bound and can be read in your mind.】【7. At sea, you will never be lonely.】The booklet felt like skin to the touch. Yang Yi flipped to the next page. The second page was the weather report for the day; he skipped it for now. The third page was his status information.`Yang Yi``Status: Healthy``『A stick-figure human diagram is shown, completely green 』``(The average adult attribute value is 5 for each. It can be raised to 10 through training.)``(An attribute of 10 is the limit for a mortal.)``Strength: 3 (0/50)``Spirit: 7+1 (0/8000) (The higher the Spirit, the higher the Sanity resistance, and the faster Sanity recovery)``Agility: 4 (0/100)``Constitution: 3 (0/50)``Perception: 5 (0/200)``Sanity: 100/100 (Below 50 leads to madness, below 30 leads to suicidal thoughts, below 10....)``Stamina: 100/100 (Below 50 leads to drowsiness, below 30 may lead to fainting.)``Vitality: 100/100``Talent:``Iron Will: You never admit defeat. Spirit cap +1, you will always retain at least 1 point of Sanity and will not commit suicide. When Sanity drops significantly (below 50), you will enter a frenzied state.`After reading the attribute screen, Yang Yi felt a little more at ease. Low attributes required very little experience, so it wouldn't be too hard for him to catch up. He continued flipping through the pages and found the chat channel. It was divided into World Chat, Regional Chat, and Private Chat.Currently, the World Chat was the liveliest, with people speaking one after another."Is anyone there?""What the hell is going on?""I was just taking a dump, didn't even wipe my ass, and in the blink of an eye, I'm on a ship!""I'm all alone here, does anyone have a phone? Help me call the police!""Who kidnapped me? Do you know who my father is?""Maybe your dad got pulled in here too!""Son, is that you?""Stop claiming random relatives!""My broken arm is actually healed....""There's a sense of pain... This isn't a dream!".......The number of online players was in the billions. It was likely that everyone had been pulled into this game. Yang Yi didn't rush to speak. Instead, he scrolled through the chat, gathering potential intelligence.Each person could only send 10 world messages per day. Any more would require payment in Conch Coins—one hundred Conch Coins per message. What these Conch Coins were, Yang Yi didn't know, nor did he have any.After a dozen or so minutes, the chaotic flood of messages began to subside, and the chat started to become more substantial."Does everyone else's manual also have 7 rules?""Looking for a group, anyone want to team up!""We're too far apart and have no coordinates, there's no way to group up right now!""We should share information and help each other!""Have you guys checked your ships? I found a piece of equipment."Below this message, the information for the equipment was attached.【Name: Bloodstained Harpoon】【Type: Relic】【Quality: Good】(Item Tiers: Common, Good, Fine, Rare, Exquisite, Heroic, Master...)【Description: Very sharp, can inflict minor damage on Abyssal Horrors, and then enrage them.】*Note: Using a Relic carries the risk of lowering your Sanity.*And with that, the world channel exploded."What's an Abyssal Horror? This world has monsters?""How come I didn't get anything? I just found some fresh water, bread, and vegetables in my cabin.""You have vegetables? How come I only got sausages?"At sea, vegetables were far rarer than meat."What about the ships? Are your ships big? Mine is over a hundred meters long, it's huge...""What! My ship is only ten meters!"That person quickly sent their ship's information.【Heart of Steel, Level 1, Durability 5000/5000, Capacity 8000 units, Speed 5 knots】【Hull Skills: Firepower Barrage: Cannon firing speed increased to 200% for 15 minutes.Triple-Shot Whale Harpoon: Can pierce and latch onto an object.】【Description: Its speed may not be fast, but you'd better be!】"Damn! This game is totally unfair! His ship has cannons at level one!""Special ships have skills. My ship is completely blank.""I want to reroll my start! Is there a cash shop? I've got plenty of money!""Are you all idiots? His ship's speed is only 5 knots, that's slower than the black fog!""Oh yeah, the black fog is 10 knots! He's screwed, hahaha!"At that moment, an announcement popped up.【Sailing Announcement: All of you have different starting conditions, but it is absolutely fair. Your ships and starting positions have been set. Objections are denied!】"Who'd believe that! There's definitely some under-the-table manipulation! Someone starts with a weapon, and I only have food!""While others hoard grain, I hoard guns. Those others become my granary!""Is it possible that monsters will spawn near the guy with cannons, but not you?"Yang Yi closed his logbook and also began to search the room. He discovered that the flintlock in the skeleton's hand was a piece of equipment.【Name: Waterlogged and Rusted Flintlock】【Type: Relic】【Quality: Fine】【Description: This was once a master's creation, but it has been soaked for too long and is severely rusted. It only has a fifty percent chance of firing. Can inflict moderate damage on Abyssal Horrors.This gun requires no bullets. Automatic reload time is one minute. Ammunition capacity is 1.】"A 'Fine' quality piece of equipment?" Yang Yi's expression turned grave.Just as the announcement stated, the starting conditions were all fair. For him to receive this gun, did this not signify a hellish start? He pushed aside the skeleton on the table and found a piece of paper pinned beneath it. It was already decayed, with only parts of the writing barely legible."...no more supplies on the ship. I can only try to fish.""....lucky today. Caught a tiger grouper, enough to eat for two days."".....Hehe, I fished up an antique pistol. The sound of the gun is strange, but it looks like it's worth a lot of money!"After that was a large bloodstain, with only the last line visible."How can there be something like this in the sea?"Yang Yi frowned slightly after reading it and stood up, walking out of the captain's cabin. Outside was a deck corridor. He looked up, carefully examining his ship.
