Return of the Mad Prince
In a world ruled by the sea and stained by the abyss, pirates chase glory, treasure... and godhood. They sail vast, cursed oceans teeming with monsters, haunted islands, and ancient secrets best left buried.
Every creature, man or beast, can absorb the mysterious Abyssal Energy to grow stronger.
But power comes at a price.
The higher you rise, the less human you remain.
Everyone relies on the Voice of the Void, a system interface that displays ranks, spells, and skills.
It seems helpful. Until it starts whispering.
Watching. Feeding.
Lucien, a fallen prince with a cursed bloodline, sails the treacherous oceans haunted by ancient horrors.
But he is different.
When he dies, he doesn't truly die.
Bound to Carrion Kronos, a soul-stealing crow forged from forgotten magic, his soul leaps into a new vessel each time he falls.
Each death is a step toward something greater... or something monstrous.
With a crew of broken dreamers and dangerous misfits, he sails into the heart of the unknown, chasing vengeance, freedom, and answers.
Because this world’s system isn’t just flawed.
It’s a trap. A ritual. A transformation.
And the truth at the end of it all?
Not everyone who ascends becomes a god.
Some become something far worse.

Author's Note
Welcome to the dark waters of the Abyssal Seas.
This story blends pirate adventure with cosmic horror and LitRPG progression. Expect a slow burn that steadily uncovers the sinister truth behind this world’s power system. Our protagonist, Lucien, is not your typical hero. He is a fallen prince with a cursed bloodline, a twisted fate, and a future soaked in shadows.
Fair warning: the journey grows darker with each chapter. Horror will deepen as characters ascend through the abyssal ranks, and the true nature of the Voice of the Void will become impossible to ignore.
Update Schedule: Two chapters per day.
Thank you for sailing with us into the abyss. May you retain your humanity longer than most.
