Xie Lin had always thought he was unlucky by every measure.
An eleven-car pileup on the highway, and of course he was caught in it. Of course their car was trapped in the middle. Of course he lost everything there.
The crash left one of his legs shattered and a rib punctured his lung. Years of rigorous taekwondo training went up in smoke, and he had to say goodbye to a normal life. He became a cripple in the eyes of the world. Forget running: walking more than a few steps left him gasping for breath.
No one could be more unlucky than him.
And then, after he was pulled into a survival game that everyone on the planet had to play, the System assigned him the Lucky Dog talent.
Who? Me?
Even though he found the System's judgment deeply ironic, Xie Lin couldn't do anything about it. As the saying goes, an arm can't wrestle a thigh. How could he possibly shake a System capable of pulling all of Blue Star into a survival game?
All he could do was curse under his breath: Damn System!
But when the game first helped him walk steadily, when he could run and jump faster than ordinary people, breathing easily and full of confidence, Xie Lin stood aboard a ship and felt freer and more relaxed than ever before.
While the other players went mad trying to escape the game and return to Blue Star, Xie Lin had already decided to fight with everything he had to stay.
The boundless ocean was a graveyard for survivors. Those who refused to strive would be swallowed by the sea. Xie Lin wanted lasting health and freedom, and he was willing to pay any price for them.
Even if it meant killing.
Salvage supplies, upgrade ships, explore islands, trade and fight with the natives, recruit crew members.
From a complete novice with nothing to the captain of the world's number one pirate ship.
The journey of survival begins aboard a small sailboat.
A survival game on the open sea. This story focuses on shipbuilding, nautical exploration, and interactions with crew members and NPCs.
The protagonist has principles, but not many. Survival comes first.
A captain who has to act like a swaggering playboy x a mad-dog crewman who is always looking to usurp him.
This is an antagonistic-path romance between a couple. Outsiders think the crewman is a loyal dog, but he's always itching to overstep his bounds.
“When danger comes, he's the safest place to be. When things are safe, he's the most dangerous.”
Theme: To romance, and to freedom.
