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

For Duncan, the most easily deduced among the series of hastily conveyed messages from the Saint was actually the first one—that something designed to last only eight thousand years was now operating in overload.


The first thing he could think of was the "sun" that was now hanging over the Endless Sea, which had already begun to malfunction and even start dropping parts—indeed, it was the "First Anomaly" created by the Saint leading the Ancient Crete clan during the Ancient Crete Kingdom era.


The sun had been operating for ten thousand years, if its original design life was really only eight thousand years... then its current troubling state was explained.


And extending from this, the Saint also mentioned that "they" were waiting for a signal from "somewhere" within this period, but had not received it to date—who were "they"? And this "somewhere," the short burst of noise referred to, what place was it?


"We didn't receive the signal from *&%￥ outside within the time limit…"
