Description

There are things in the ocean that defy understanding-creatures so vast, so ancient, so alien, that only those bound to them can glimpse the truth. Sailors whisper their names. Pirates chase their shadows. But none truly comprehend what lies beneath.

Hermes was just a boy-abandoned, lost, and clinging to the only person who ever cared for him: his enigmatic master. But one day, a creature from the abyss snatched his master away, vanishing into a spiral.

In a desperate attempt to save him, Hermes followed-only to find himself cast into a world where land does not exist. A world swallowed by an eternal sea. And beneath those black waters? Eldritch sea creatures ,lurking in the depths.

Drowning in the unfamiliar ocean, face to face with a monstrous entity, Hermes should have died. Instead, he heard a voice-ancient, rumbling, alive.

It was the great Cthulhu!

Once a great being of the deep, now weakened, Cthulhu offers Hermes a pact: "I will save you. I will give you power. But in return-you must recover the fragments of me that were stolen."

Now, armed with a terrifying new strength, Hermes must sail through this alien sea-world. He must recover Cthulhu’s scattered powers, survive the horrors that lurk beneath, and find the truth behind his master’s abduction

Dive into the sea of Eldritch.

Hey there! Just wanted to drop in and say I’m really enjoying the story so far. The vibe is definitely my style — it’s got this cool mix of emotion, magic, and mystery that pulls you in. I can tell there’s something deeper going on beneath the surface, and that’s what makes it feel special.
That said, I’m still a little curious about how the world itself works. Like, I get the sense it’s a fantasy setting with its own lore and structure, but I’d love to see more of how everything connects — the kingdoms, magic system, history, and that kind of stuff. A bit more world-building would really bring it all to life!
Also, I’m interested in the main character’s personality. I like the direction so far, but I feel like I’m still getting to know them. What makes them tick? What do they fear, hope for, or secretly want? Those little emotional details really help the reader bond with them.
Anyway, if you’re reading this — just know you’re doing a great job. Stories like this take time to build, and I can tell you’ve put heart into it. Keep going! I believe it’s going to grow and gain a lot more readers. Wishing you an awesome day ahead!
