After drifting at sea for nearly a month, the prince finally embarked on this unfamiliar road, and he was certain that he would find Ghost Island this time.
...
Louis squinted, the wind whistling in his ears. He gripped the armrest tightly, downed the wine in his golden cup in one gulp, and casually tossed it into the sea. He picked up the small trinket that had been resting on his chest and held it to his eyes.
The distant dot grew closer and closer, and the telescope zoomed in even more. He looked over, and... well... it wasn't an island, it was... a reef?
Louis sobered up instantly and looked around. He realized that not only that reef, but also these troublesome things had appeared from all directions at some point. If they weren't careful, the ship would run aground.

"Hahaha……"
After the initial chaos subsided, the crew's emotions stabilized somewhat, and they began to handle the situation methodically, figuring things couldn't get any worse than they were now.
Louis continued to use his telescope to survey his surroundings, trying to find some way out of the darkness.
The sea was pitch black, with an aura that seemed to swallow everything, but in this darkness, Louis suddenly saw something unusual.
