In the second volume of this planned eight-book series, the eerie world of the deep-sea age grows even more unsettling.

A fire that burned for more than a decade reduced the entire city-state of Pland to ashes, yet for those still living there, life goes on as if nothing ever happened.

Zhou Ming was just an ordinary teacher, until a mysterious black fog sweeps him into another reality. There, he awakens as Duncan Abnormal, the notorious ghost captain of the Lost Homeland, navigating a steam-powered world filled with city-states, ancient gods, and bizarre mysteries.

Now more accustomed to his new identity as Duncan Abnormal, ghost captain of the Lost Homeland, Zhou Ming continues his voyage with his strange crew, guarding the city-states and watching for new dangers.

This time, he is drawn to Pland, a city-state that was supposedly destroyed by a great fire more than a decade ago. Yet its people live on as if nothing happened. Here, the living and the dead share the same city, while memory, history, and reality itself seem to have been carefully rewritten.

Behind this false peace, the Church of the Black Sun and the Endtime Preachers use fragments of the sun to create supernatural disasters and replace truth with fabricated memory, dragging the entire city into cognitive corruption.

A burned city. A forgotten catastrophe. And Duncan, the ghost captain feared across the Endless Sea, is about to sail straight onto land.
