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 had barely spoken when the "sailor" immediately knew what the captain intended to do—for ever since being "awakened" by Lawrence on the White Oak, his greatest nightmare had been this very moment: being set ablaze at the whim of Captain Duncan…


Now, that nightmare had come true—he was indeed struck by a massive fireball conjured by the messenger named "Ai Yi."


For this reason, after experiencing the horror of being surrounded by Spectral Flames, as if his soul could be evaporated at any moment, the mummy was visibly anxious, "…Won't this just burn the mummy wrapping clean off?"


"Theoretically, no," Duncan said confidently, "I can precisely control my flames and use them to understand the 'truth' hidden beneath the surface of various Transcendent items. I've used this method to inspect and explore many things in the past; the process is quite safe…"
