On that day, thick fog enveloped everything. On that day, he became the captain of a ghost ship. On that day, he crossed the thick fog and faced a world that had been completely overturned and shattered—the former order had vanished, strange phenomena dominated the endless seas beyond civilized society, isolated island cities and fleets challenging the seas had become the only remaining lights of the civilized world, while the shadows of the past still lurked in the deep sea, waiting to continue to devour this dying world. But for the new captain of the Lost Home, there was only one question he needed to consider first— Does anyone know how to sail a boat?!

However, he did not expect that after finally succeeding, he would have to crawl out of the coffin with this body and face two terrified great-great-great-granddaughters. And a world that is about to reach the end of its era.

Seek your own path, look forward, and you will find the way of humanity. No matter how many rivers and mountains you have traveled, you will not find them. May the heavens never grow old, and may my hometown forever remain good. All I see are green mountains, and everywhere I look, the mountains are pierced by rain and wind. The road to my hometown seems endless. The Taoist's Way, the God's Way, all seek the Way in the human world. Demons and monsters all claim to be good. The wind howls and thunder roars, heaven and earth waile and ghosts cry. Why has the former land turned into a sea of blood? The road to my hometown, how can it be a road of no return? Where in the human world can one find the true path? (Although it's been used before, I'll still use this one because it feels appropriate for the occasion.)

As night fell, the tavern gradually became lively. The adventurers boasted to each other about their recent hauls, waitresses fluttered between the tables like butterflies, and bards played their lutes in the corners, singing suggestive tunes. Just then, the tavern door was pushed open, and a burly adventurer walked in from the darkness. "Hey, isn't that 'Feeder' Barrett?" Someone recognized the newcomer. "He's no longer the 'Feeder,' but the 'Undead Nemesis,' 'Demon Slayer,' 'Mage Ally,' 'Crystal Wall Guardian,' and 'Legendary Adventurer' Barrett!" Someone retorted loudly. "Barrett, tell us your story." The man named Barrett took a big gulp of rye beer and, under the expectant gazes of the crowd, began to recount his story, "It was a bright afternoon, and I was riding my horse, heading towards..."
