*Splash*--*splash*
The ocean water splashed, its shimmering surface reflecting the sun and clouds above.
Suddenly, a person burst through the ocean's surface, gasping for air.
After a deep breath, the person now floating on the water looks around with a confused expression.
" Huh? Where is my ship and where are my crew." He looked around in confusion and swam around in confusion.
As he was seriously thinking whether his crew has abandoned him and left him in the ocean while stealing his ship.
He heard a voice in his mind and a golden panel appeared Infront of his face.
"Welcome to the participants from Blue Star to the Ocean survival in the Chaotic Ocean."
"All 10 billion people in the planet are transferred into the game world."
"A Billion of the Blue Star people are selected as Island lords in the Chaotic Ocean."
"Island Lords are tasked to develop the islands to provide shelter to other Blue Star residents."
"The children and elderly are evenly assigned to the island lords as their subjects, who will care for them until their parents, or the relatives are prepared to take them back once they have established themselves in the world."
"The remaining 5 billion people are given a level 1 raft, which can be upgraded through the game panel using supplies collected from the drifting items in the ocean."
"Survivors should safeguard their ships, as they are crafted with unique magic that makes them incredibly valuable. These ships are constructed using materials found only in the chaotic ocean, which, after drifting for many years, have become resistant to the ocean's chaotic magic, ensuring your survival."
"The chaotic ocean poses significant dangers to the newly introduced race, so they are granted newbie protection from monsters for up to one month, and interaction with other races is prohibited for a full year."
"During the protection period monsters won't attack the person on the raft unless they provoke them or dive into the ocean."
"Treasure chests are being deployed into the ocean, open the treasure chests will grant you with blueprints, which can be constructed when there is enough material with the survivor using the game panel."
"Every month there will be a disaster happening in the chaotic ocean, and the disasters level are increased every passing month until the yearlong protection period is completed."
"Ship Captains can choose to survive in the ocean or surrender to the island lords and become their subjects after finding the islands while travelling the ocean."
"Captains who surrender to the island lords will lose the support of the world system, become permanent residents of the island, and have their boats added to the ranks of the island's naval fleet."
"Every island lord or the ship captain will receive a chance to awaken a talent with 100 percentage of probability ranging from bonze to mythic level talents."
"Ship Captains cannot land on an island occupied by the island lords without the lord's permission and Island lords cannot board without the captain's permission or try to seize the survivor boats without defeating the ship captain ship in a one and one duel."
"The Island Lord losing the duel would result in either paying a significant amount of compensation or forfeiting his lordship to the survivor who won the fight, if he fails to pay the agreed compensation before the duel."
"A survivor losing the duel must pay appropriate compensation to the lord. Failing to honor the contract results in escaping and becoming a pirate, making them a fugitive unable to enter any island ruled by a lord in the ocean. Alternatively, they can actively surrender and become a native of the island."
There are many reminders on the golden screen detailing many rules of the ocean survival for both the lords and the ship captains in the ocean.
But the person has his attention else were, a large wooden log has been floating Infront of him at distance of at least few meters.
He swam swiftly through the ocean's surging currents, reached the floating log, and climbed onto it. He discovered he could sit securely on the log with each leg dangling on either side, comfortably floating without fear of drowning.
Only after he knew he was safe from drowning due to muscle cramps from staying in the water for more than one hour did he start recalling his memory of his life.
"Max is a very common person who was born in country A and well-educated person, who made his livings as stocks broker."
"One day, he died of heart attack and transmigrated to BlueStar which is similar to earth but 10 years backwards with similarity to earth.
Due to max being worked as stock sale manager, he remembers quite a lot of stocks, which earned him a lot of money, and he became one of the world's richest billionaires.
Just before being teleported here, Max had been enjoying his vacation on his private boat when he was abruptly informed that he had been transported into an ocean survival game along with the entire planet's population.
According to the information he should have received a raft and basic survival supplies, but Max looked left and right and found no raft except for the log under him.
Max then opened the golden interface and searched for button to report bug, but he couldn't find any sort of such button in the interface which made him feel the despair.
As max was feeling down and thinking of a way to survive without a raft, he heard ding sound, and the interface automatically opened and started appearing in the page.
"Hello dear candidate, Sorry for the inconvenience caused by the bug which resulted in survivor not receiving the novice gift which includes a level one raft and three days of daily supplies."
System will try to compensate candidate with a basic treasure chest which can be used to make a raft and allow survivor to gain growable talent when the talent is drawn.
As soon the announcement is made, a small treasure chest is being place Infront of him on the log which he has sat.
Max happily took it into his hands, as he feared it would fall into the ocean by fault and get lost drifted away.
"I wonder what I will get in the treasure box, system said it is a basic treasure box, so I hope I get useful things which will increase my survival chance." Max thought to himself and prepared to open the box.
when he was getting ready to open the box, he remembered system panel offers appraisal for the items in his possession, so he opened the interface and aimed the interface at the box and instructed it to appraise the box which then took a picture of the box and details began appearing on the screen.
Appraisal: Basic survival supply box
Contains: 1)100 to 1000 basic chaotic wood soaked in chaotic ocean for a long time which are used to build boats which can travel the chaotic ocean.
2) Talent crystal which can allow the user to awaken growable talent along with the ship advancement.
3) Consists of 3 to 7 days of food.
4) A black iron spear.
5) A waterproof all weather leather jacket.
Max then faced the sky and asked the gods for blessings and opened the box.
Up on opening the box, the box disappeared with the supplies in the box transferred directedly into his system storage space.
