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?!"

Ashes Of Deep Sea

The captain's quarters were plunged into silence.


Duncan still stared fixedly at the massive, eerie eyeball sketched on the draft paper—


It was rendered in a nearly mad, messy stroke, yet it was unbelievably accurate and lifelike, such that anyone would understand the meaning of each line in the drawing with just one glance, as though the true message was woven into every element that constituted the image.


Within those mad, messy strokes, the enormous eyeball's pupil was profound, and the surrounding structure of blood vessels and nerve plexus was faintly discernible; outside the eyeball, a layer of dim material was unmistakably covering it. Taran El used many fine lines to depict the material that covered the eyeball, seemingly striving to restore what exactly it was, and the only information Duncan received from the drawing was that it was a "shell layer with a complex structure."


It was an eye encapsulated in an outer shell that seemed as precious as a gemstone.
