[Note: I like novels about survival at sea, but I also want to read about two male protagonists and two straight men trying to seduce themselves into being gay. However, I couldn't find any, so I had to write one myself. I'm a newbie, so please don't criticize my writing.]
Warning: This is a story with two male leads. If you don't like stories with two male leads, please look elsewhere.
In a daze, Lin Hu smelled a salty smell, and opened his eyes with a dizzy headache. He saw the blue sky and white clouds above him, as well as the scorching sun. Lin Hu sat up with a jolt.
OS: Where am I? Who moved me from the bed to the outside to sunbathe?
Looking around at his surroundings—the boundless sea, the raft he was sitting on, and a seagull perched on a plank, looking around—Lin Hu didn't know whether to try to control his trembling body or just pass out.
[bite--]
A voice from an electronic robot rang in Lin Hu's mind, and at the same time, a semi-transparent electronic screen popped up in front of him, startling Lin Hu.
[Player 8848 from District 66 has been detected to have awakened. The system will now answer the player's questions. This is a survival game.]
First, players can use the fishing rod from their initial supplies to fish for materials in the sea to obtain these materials to expand themselves and their rafts. They can also communicate with other players through the trading system.
Second, if you encounter an island, you can go ashore to explore for resources, but please do not stay overnight.
Third, there are no permanent partners, only permanent interests.
Fourth, the raft is a safe area where you will not be attacked by marine life.
Fifth, players should not rashly enter the sea!
Sixth, the environment changes every fourteen days.
Seventh, every twelve days, players can visit the island for two days and one night. During this period, marine life will riot, and the raft's protection mechanism will be canceled.
Note: The first three days are a new player protection period, during which you will not be attacked by mutated beasts. The temperature will drop after the protection period ends, so please build houses to withstand the cold nights. Good luck, players! Strive for your future!
Lin Hu felt that the system seemed to be anticipating something to happen at the end.
Lin Hu glanced at the four options labeled "Chat Area, Trading Area, Friends, and My" at the bottom of the screen, clicked on "My" on the screen, and switched to his interface, which also had options labeled "Personal Profile," "My Trading," and "My Inventory."
Clicking on the profile will show the following:
Linhu 8848
22 years old
Height: 178 cm
Weight: 65kg
Superpower: Flight
Level: Level 1 (3/200)
Physical fitness: 7
Speed: 18
Knowledge: 0 (Note: Requires special items to upgrade.)
A student from Shanghai, surnamed X, is about to graduate from XX school...
Lin Hu sat there stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly slapped herself hard across the face. Feeling the burning pain, tears welled up in her eyes. She thought she'd been pranked, but it turned out to be…
"I really wore it!!"
[bite!]
[Game Master System in progress!]
A voice echoed in Lin Hu's mind.
A cheat code?!
[Binding successful!]
[Hello host~ I am Time-Space System No. 1097. Because the system detected that you are not human from this world, I was sent to help you understand this world and survive~]
After listening to 1097's call, Lin Hu felt his heart, which had just died, begin to burn again. He had played similar games about surviving at sea before, using fishing hooks to catch supplies, and if he encountered an island, he could go ashore to search for supplies.
But what does it mean to survive? He wants to survive comfortably and make up for all the frustrations of the past few years.
In his previous life, he lived a happy life with his family in City A of Guizhou Province. Because his grades were not good, he was in a low period at the age of 17 and wanted to take the art exam.
His family was supportive, and during his second year of high school winter break, they took him to visit a famous art academy in Shanghai, and also to travel and relax.
However, during his visit to the art academy, he got into a conflict with someone. Unexpectedly, the family he had the conflict with came to him, and not long after he left, they came to his door the next day claiming to be their son.
Lin Hu naturally didn't believe it, but after being taken to do a paternity test, he learned that he was the real young master who had been switched by their nanny and sold in the mountains.
What happened next was even more ridiculous... but it doesn't matter, he's starting over now!
...
It should be considered a partial restart...
[1097: Can the host hear me?]
Seeing Lin Hu's changing expression and his continued silence, 1097 checked the surroundings and thought he had bound himself to the wrong person.
"Yes, yes, you said you were sent from above? What system are you? Are you colleagues with the previous system? Why are there two systems on me at the same time? By the way, where is this place?"
1097 was bombarded with a barrage of questions from Lin Hu in his sudden excitement, and didn't know which to answer first. However, seeing that his host was so enthusiastic, 1097 simply raised his nose and began to answer.
[1097: Cough! This is a world washed by acid rain. Some people have become zombies, while others have gained superpowers. Plants and animals have also mutated.]
These acid rains have completely submerged the land, turning Earth into a "starfish." Everyone still retaining human consciousness has been bound to a maritime survival game by the system. The host is now on the first day of this game!
As for the two systems on the host, it's because they, like the host, were external intrusions. The first system was merely electronic; it lacked self-awareness like mine and was unaware of the other system's existence.
My dear reader, there's more to this chapter! Please click the next page to continue reading—even more exciting content awaits!
