Deep below the earth's surface, a mystifying subterranean seascape lurks, an archipelago bathed in inky blackness where suspense and horror hold court. Here lie strange islands and even stranger monsters, far beyond the realms of human imagination. In this domain, mankind is far from dominant; instead, madness and death rule supreme.
Pleading for mercy from the unknown creatures of the deep only leads to a slow, tortured existence. The trapped survivors gradually distort, losing what made them human, both physically and mentally, to the gloom as they remain trapped in this eternal obscurity. Their only hope? A perilous expedition into uncharted sea territories.
Fueled by determination, Charles embark on this daunting voyage aboard his steamship, aiming to reclaim humanity's past glory. Together with his crew, they sought a way out of this hidden sea world, a path back to the sunlit world above, where humans once stood tall.

I read a few comments from Chinese readers that compared this novel with Lord of Mysteries because of similar elements: Lovecraftian, western fantasy, first industrial revolution, and steampunk. However, I have yet to finish reading Lord of Mysteries to do any actual comparison, but I do think those who have enjoyed that novel would enjoy this as well. Also, the author of LotM, Cuttlefish That Loves Diving, also did a shout-out for this novel, so I guess he approves of it too?

When I opened my eyes, I was inside a novel.[The Birth of a Hero].[The Birth of a Hero] was a novel focused on the adventures of the main character, Choi Han, a high school boy who was transported to a different dimension from Earth, along with the birth of the numerous heroes of the continent.
I became a part of that novel as the trash of the Countas family, the family that oversaw the territory where the first village that Choi Han visits is located.
The problem is that Choi Han becomes twisted after that village, and everyone in it, are destroyed by assassins.
The bigger problem is the fact that this stupid trash who Iave become doesnat know about what happened in the village and messes with Choi Han, only to get beaten to a pulp.
aa|This is going to be a problem.a
I feel like something serious has happened to me.
But it was worth trying to make this my new life.

Everyone was transmigrated to a simulation world where every young person would get a chance to simulate a new life when they reached adulthood.
Those who managed to overcome their limits would permanently become a regressor who had control over everything.
However, those who failed could only become normal people who needed others to protect them.
A lot of people were extremely careful in the simulation so that they wouldnat mess anything up.
Yet, when Li Yueming entered the simulated regressed world, he learned that the random talent he had received was the 100x Amplification.
[Your Blue-rank talent, Sudden Knowledge, has evolved through the 100x Amplification to become the Gold-rank talent, Unlimited Deduction.]
[Unlimited Deduction (Gold): Deduce known information at a 100% success rate.]
As he continued to get the highest-ranked talents, he suddenly realized that the simulated world that was hailed as hell wasnat as hard as it seemed.
aI guess the next one will be super easy too.a

When I woke up, I found myself inside a spaceship.
I guess you guys think Iam talking nonsense here, but I also have absolutely no clue about what exactly happened to me.
I was really close to completely losing it, but fortunately, I managed to notice that this place was really similar to the world featured in a game I was playing recently.
Am I dreaming? Nope, itas no dream. Maybe I actually got sent to a different world or something?
But didnat those things usually involve getting sent to a magical world with elves, dwarves, dragons and whatnot?
In any case, I donat know what caused this, but I guess Iall just have to suck it up and live properly in this world from now on.
Itall be okay. I got my trusty spaceship so I can probably make some money. Itall work out! It has to!
This is the story of a man abruptly thrown into space along with his private spaceship. He runs around with it and saves damsels in distress along the way, flirts with said damsels, earns money as a merc-for-hire and uses his gaming knowledge to work his way into living freely and easily.
