Nuclear Warhead Cooked in Wine

At the opening ceremony of Sea Blue Star Basic Military Academy, as the representative of the incoming freshmen, Guding proclaimed his grand ambition in front of all the teachers and students: 
"I'm Guding! I'm gonna become the Man with the Highest Bounty in the entire Cosmic Sea!"
--------------------------------------------
It is an era of artificial superintelligences, interstellar travel, gene medicine, and virtual reality worlds. 
Far into Earth's future, 15-year-old Gu Ding is a student of Cerulean Military Academy by day, and tavern waiter by night. 
His ambition: Become the space pirate with the highest bounty offered by the Universal Federation Government. 
With the help of Neptune, a neonate super-intelligence, Guding finds himself thrust into a galaxy of shadowy organizations, political under dealings, and otherworldly forces that lie beyond human comprehension…

The Highest Bounty

When Guding appeared in the common residential area for prisoners, many were utterly stunned.


Two years ago, many had witnessed Guding being thrown into the Confinement Space of the Purgatory Gate, and it was the Death Mode that had been activated. Under Death Mode, no one had ever come out of the confinement alive.


Moreover, over a year ago, when the one-year period of the Death Mode punishment had concluded, Guding had not shown up. Thus, everyone believed Guding had perished.


Now, someone who was believed to be dead suddenly showed up right before their eyes, which naturally surprised many.


Guding paid no mind to the astonished gazes of the crowd. For the past year, he had been on edge nearly every moment to return to this Plane. Now that he was back at the Purgatory Gate, he could finally relax a little.
