Description
In the endless darkness and the vastness of the abyss, Captain Charles Reed's fate is like a solitary vessel lost in the underground sea, poised to be swallowed at any moment. Legends whisper that this stretch of water conceals unimaginable monsters and ancient secrets, with many sailors disappearing without a trace, leaving only echoes of fear and despair.
Every night, as moonlight dances upon the waves, Charles is filled with sorrow for the missing crew and dread of the unknown. In his journal, he writes, "This sea seems to possess a will of its own, devouring all life that dares to approach." Deep down, he knows he might be the next sacrifice.
Just as he prepares to give up hope, the wheel of fate quietly begins to turn. A mysterious island emerges from the mist, where the legendary Futan cult lies in wait, anticipating an unfortunate soul to unveil its secrets. Charles resolves to no longer flee; he will lead the remaining crew on a journey fraught with peril and uncertainty. For survival, for truth, he must confront the monsters lurking in the shadows and challenge the designs of fate.
This is the story of Charles Reed, an exploration of courage, sacrifice, and humanity. In this enigmatic ocean, who will become the hunter, and who will become the prey?

- sirhumphreyapplebyRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0A very fun read and well executed. Dialogue is easy to follow. The plot is fairly original, or at least it is to me. Setting and tone of the story mesh well. Characters are easy to remember and behave reasonably.
If the author comes back I look forward to the rest of it. Feels inspired by Tales of the CryptKeeper or the like.
