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

Duncan heard Alice's exclamation and instantly awoke from his deep thoughts, violently lifting his head to look out the window. The scene that met his eyes was unforgettable —


Above the sea where Light Breeze Harbor once lay, like strands of hair, like interwoven mist, invisible threads were dramatically transforming. The elongated "gossamer mist" swelled and contracted slowly, writhing between the tangible and the intangible. It gradually reshaped into a form whose parts above the sea surface retracted, condensed, and rose upward while the structure floating in the clouds slowly bloomed. It branched out into crisscross paths, and like another dome of the sky, it gently dangled towards the seascape's horizon.


A formidable sense of pressure emanated from the continuously aggregating illusion, as the entire maritime area began to be enshrouded by an invisible crown. Only at this moment did Duncan finally see — it was a tree.
