Traders, settlers, wanderers, and outlaws gather, drawn by the excitement of the New World. The air smells of smoke, salt and sweat, sails catch wind beside steam locomotives' whistles and pistons, each vessel either arriving with strange goods and stranger tales or departing with the thunderous farewells. You step aboard one of them, another spirited adventurer in the crowd, and spend months at sea from docks to coasts, continents to isles, to steam across a windless sea under an endless night sky. When sunlight hits your deck once more, it reveals the New World's waters, like pouring paint into the void. You see the distant sails in the harbour of a forested continent and cheer with the exclamations of waking passengers upon seeing the continent, name pending, no sovereigns and no laws.

Without hesitation you leave it behind and vanish into the forest, wanting simply to dedicate your life to exploring the interior of the continent. How surprising is it when you found that the elves are all sleeping beauties! Capture them all! Hahahahahahahaha!

In the Shattered Star Sea, a boundless void born from a multiverse’s mysterious collapse millions of years ago, a quadrillion civilizations vie for dominance across Floating Lands—fragments of shattered worlds ranging from million-kilometer shards to Star Continents spanning ten billion light-years. Each land, pulsing with unknown Origin Cores, generates protective shields, warps time, and bends universal laws, while producing Floating Land Source wisps that power technology, magic, and survival. Star Sea Wonders, rare artifacts from common Colorless trinkets to godlike Chaos Wonders, grant reality-altering abilities—used as weapons, tools, or foundations for overload-level empires.

Immortal Taoist soldiers cultivate immortality, mechanical gods forge vast networks, golden giants craft titanic relics, and wizard masters unravel cosmic secrets, all ignorant of the Origin Cores driving their worlds.

Its neural interface floods him with advanced propulsion knowledge, shattering Eos-9’s isolation. The discovery ignites a catastrophic war, as rival factions, desperate for the Wonder’s power, unleash kinetic strikes that destroy the land and its civilization. Arin, the sole survivor, escapes aboard the Icarus Flame, a test ship powered by the Blue Wonder, leaping into the unknown void. Thrust into the Shattered Star Sea, Arin discovers a cosmos of glowing fragments, shielded lands, and alien ruins, each pulsing with Source wisps and hidden Wonders. Landing on an abandoned Floating Land, he finds remnants of a taller humanoid race and a fractured spear-like artifact, hinting at the Star Sea’s vast history. As he catalogs the Blue Wonder’s additional secrets—schematics for gravity modulation and reality tuning—Arin realizes Eos-9 was but a speck in a universe of quadrillion civilizations. With finite resources and a cooling Wonder, he must navigate treacherous lands, evade high-order beings, and uncover the truth behind the Origin Cores’ hidden power. As immortal soldiers, mechanical gods, and wizard masters hunt the Blue Wonder, Arin’s quest for survival becomes a journey to unlock the Star Sea’s deepest secrets—before its chaotic forces consume him or the multiverse itself.
