Chapter 1: 1. I Became a Raft

   Gradually the view opened up and what appeared in sight was the azure sky and the endless sea!

    "Where am I?"

    Raine could only feel his head hurting, there seemed to be a huge disconnect between the information he had gathered so far and his memories.

    "No, I'm dead, aren't I?" The last image Raine could recall was of himself falling drunk into a lake and drowning, after which there was a series of painful struggles, choking, suffocation, and blurred consciousness ......

    The sensations coming from his body now, he should still be in the water. Except, how did he get to the sea? Was there a passage to the sea at the bottom of that inland lake?

    Also, why could he float on the surface of the water? He couldn't swim, was it the high density of salt water that made him buoyant?

    Why hadn't he died himself?

    A headache.

    With a long sigh, Raine tried to move his head. But bizarrely, he couldn't feel his arms and legs.

    Realizing this, Raine's mind stopped for half a second! This was definitely not a good sign! Could it be paraplegia?

    He tried to look up to check his body.

    The next thing, his perspective shifted straight up into a top-down view ...... which was bizarre, it felt like a shooter's first-person view switching to a third-person view!

    There is no doubt that this is not supposed to be a human ability!

    The scarier part is yet to come! After seeing his "body", Raine was completely stunned.

    "What! Where's my head! Where are my limbs? Where is my body? Where are my brothers? Why the fuck, there's only a row of rafts!"

    It was beyond scary, it was frightening, extremely frightening!

    It took three whole days for Raine to come to terms with reality.

    He was not riding on this raft in his soul state, he could clearly feel the flow of the water beneath him and the state of each bamboo, he could even see the fish passing underwater ......

    He was this raft!

    "I get it, I've been fucking reborn as a raft!"

    "If you're reborn, you're reborn as a human being, but if you're reborn as a bug, a tree, or a grass, then at least you have a chance to turn the tide, but I'm reborn as a bamboo raft ...... and I'm not even given an oar, that's too much!"

    [Ding, the host's self-awareness has been completed.]

    The voice that suddenly appeared in Raine's head startled him, even though he couldn't jump either ......

    "What the hell?"

    [Activate Super Battleship Evolution System.]

    "System?" With these two words, Raine's already cold heart suddenly lit up with a glimmer of hope.

    [Proofreading time-space axis ...... Please wait.]

    [Time: 300 years of the Azure Era. Planet: Earth]

    "This is Earth? And what's the Azure Era?" Raine said in amazement, "Hey, hey, hey, wait a minute! Don't bully me, is this really Earth? There's no such thing as the Azure Era on Earth?"

    [Yes, this is Earth. According to the A.D. calendar, it would be 2379 A.D., but the Earth today is not the same as the Earth in your mind. Twenty years before the Azure Era, in 2059 AD, World War III completely destroyed the Earth's ozone system, and in the twenty years since then, global temperatures have risen, melting North and South Pole glaciers have caused global sea levels to rise, and 95 percent of the world's land mass has been submerged. The massive rise in global temperature and the stream of charged particles carried by the solar wind has contributed to the rapid evolution and mutation of life on Earth. Today over fifty percent of Earth's life has mutated.]

    "Uh...”There is slightly too much information and Raine is a little confused.

    "I thought you said the oceans were ninety-five percent flooded, isn't there still five percent of the land, where are those places? Are there still people there?"

    [The habitable islands are almost all permanently occupied by powerful fleets. As for the people you speak of, many still survive, only some of them have changed, and most of them live aboard ships. After all, undersea creatures are still extremely threatening to humans, and the very few large habitable islands are occupied by powerful fleets, so the ships are their home].

    In short, it was a time of evolution and a time of competition for the sea and the sky, hence the name "The Azure Era"!

    "Uh..." Raine couldn't help but ponder.

    [The host has no questions, continue with the basic information identification.]

    Before Raine could understand, the system's voice rang out again, and Raine could only put aside her thoughts for the moment and listen carefully.

    [Host: Raine]

    [Vessel: Three Pole Bamboo Raft]

    [Crew size: 0]

    [Speed: Not equipped with the power system, not measurable]

    [Combat Power: 0]

    [Loading Capacity: 0/50kg]

    [Evolutionary Progress: 0/10 (Wood)]

    "It can actually evolve!" Raine listened intently to this large string of information and was instantly enlightened.

    Although all his stats were currently "0", he still screamed out in excitement, although he wouldn't have screamed ...... he was just shouting in his heart.

    "Oh yeah~ I've got a system too!"

    Now Raine finally no longer looked downcast, the whole person ...... was not, the whole boat was different. The bamboo pole between the flood of pleasant water.

    Regardless of what others have reborned, Raine's transformation into a raft is a fait accompli anyway and there is no point in dwelling on it.

    He was now in the Azure Era, and in this era of global navigation, ships had then become the primary means of hegemony.

    As long as this super warship system was in place, then anything was possible!

    With a long sigh, Raine gazed profoundly into the distance, where the sea and sky were azure.

    "What is wider than the sea is the sky, and what is wider than the sky is a man's breadth of mind! System, you have indeed chosen me with a unique eye! In my last life, I died meaninglessly, but in this life, with my own hands, I will go forward and gallop between the blue sky and the sea!"

    [Host, firstly, you don't have hands. Secondly, you are now just a row of three pole bamboo rafts, sailing too fast may lead to disintegration].

    "I ...... know! I'm just expressing my ambition! I mean I will get stronger and stronger with my own efforts!"

    [So what does the host mean by this statement, I can interpret it as automatically giving up the newbie gift pack?]

    "Stop!" Raine bellowed in her head, "What's a newbie gift pack?"

    [It's a prize package awarded to the host for completing self-awareness within the time limit, but you just said you had to do it on your own ......]

    "Nonsense! What a load of crap! Don't I understand the principle of teamwork? Don't I understand the truth that there is strength in numbers? Only by uniting all the forces that can be united can we achieve great things! Bring out the newbie packs!"
