On the Horizon at Dawn

My name is Xu Chen. I used to be an ordinary corporate drone struggling to survive in one of those so-called new first-tier cities, until one day after work I met a girl in a tattered sailor uniform. She called me Commander and said I had a naval base, but it had been bombed by the Abyssals. I spent all night searching the web, but couldn't figure out when I'd ever been an admiral. The next morning, I woke up, and the whole world had changed beyond recognition.

I've been a laid-back Kantai Collection admiral for twelve years, and I've read Shipgirls, Admirals, and Their Stories several times. The old pigeon has finally risen from the dead after six months. It's been a long time coming. All the shipgirl designs are from Kantai Collection, except Lexington. Tanuki's obsession with idols is a terrible thing!
