Chapter 3 - Global Ocean Survival

[The host has chosen the following talents: Unlimited Food Creation (Gold), Absolute Compass (Orange), and Water Breathing (Blue).]

-Ding!

[Since this is the host's first doomsday life simulation, the previous talent draw had boosted rates and guaranteed gold-grade talent. In the upcoming simulations, the host will no longer have that newbie benefit.]

[During the doomsday life simulation, the simulation will end if the host dies or if he commands the doomsday life simulator system to end it. Strive to get as high a score as possible before it ends!]

-Ding!

[While the life simulation is ongoing, everything will be in a state of stopped time aside from the host. However, its purpose is to only give time for the host to use the life simulation better, so the host's actions during it will be strictly limited.]

-Ding!

[Starting the life simulation...]

-Ding!

[You blinked your eyes and noticed that the time stop had lifted.]

[When you opened your eyes, what greeted you was a dazzling sunlight that almost blinded your eyes, along with the clear blue skies.]

[You felt yourself floating on something, and you seemed to be lying on a hard surface, which was uncomfortable to sleep on.]

[Looking at your side, you found yourself floating on a wooden raft in a vast ocean. No matter how you looked at it, you still couldn't find any nearby islands.]

[Just as you were about to use your simulation talents, you saw several translucent blue screens appear, and they looked quite familiar. They were none other than the World Will's World Announcement.]

[{The Apocalypse World Update Theme for this month is Global Ocean Survival! The entire Terra has been updated into a world filled with water and less land. 

Moreover, the world has expanded and even has unique products that can allow you to become stronger and survive.}]

[{The previous world's version shouldn't be used as a reference, as this new update can even be considered a new world in comparison to the past version.}]

[{Strive to become stronger and cast away re imperfections of your flawed mortal bodies and gain The One's blessing as you survive longer in the Apocalypse World Update Era!}]

[Soon after, the world announcement ended, but it did give you the information you needed. It turns out that the doomsday scenario within the doomsday life simulation is connected to future apocalypse world update themes.]

[In other words, the experience in surviving these doomsday scenarios will be very useful when encountering similar apocalypse world update themes in the real world.]

[With that thought in mind, you decided to survive as long as possible in this world so that you can get the unique product and power system of this world.]

[Sitting on your wooden raft, you surveyed the vast ocean, and you still couldn't find any islands nearby. You didn't know how your classmates were surviving in this Global Ocean Survival scenario, but you figured that some of them might have awakened their innate talent.]

[In your case, you didn't awaken another innate talent, as you are already inside the simulation created by your innate talent. Moreover, the three starting simulation talents could also be considered as innate talents, so it's not like you were at a disadvantage.]

[With that thought in mind, you decided to test your talents first. ]

[Starting with Water Breathing (Blue), you jumped out of your raft and dived deep into the blue ocean waters.]

[As soon as you were submerged in the ocean, you no longer held your breath as you inhaled the saltwater.]

[As you had expected, inhaling water into your lungs didn't hurt. It felt like liquefied air entered your lungs, and it has a calming and cold feeling to it.]

[Due to the oxygen absorbed from the water, taking in water didn't cause any air hunger and even solved it. So, it didn't feel uncomfortable, and it felt as if you were born with such capability.]

[The only downside was that it only granted water breathing but did not improve swimming ability or resistance to water pressure. Nevertheless, it was a great talent to have, as you can now explore the ocean without worrying about accidentally falling into it.]

[Swimming back to your wooden raft, you decided to test your Unlimited Food Creation (Gold) talent as you created a bottle of water.]

[With a wave of your hand, a plastic bottle filled with distilled water appeared, and it even came with the plastic bottle.]

[You tested again and created a well-done beef steak, and in an instant, a well-done beef steak appeared on top of a white plate. It also came with utensils like a metal spoon and fork.]

[You couldn't help but exclaim in delight, "Damn! This talent is stronger than I expected. Aside from just food and beverages, it can even create things that are related to that food, like its utensils or serving containers."]

["As long as I don't encounter dangerous sea creatures or hostile natives and other survivors, I should be able to survive indefinitely in this world. Moreover, the plastic bottle, utensils, plates, or anything created with the food can also be destroyed into thin air, so waste and littering wouldn't be an issue."]

[In other words, if you were to have any leftovers or food waste, you can easily remove it by undoing the creation of it using your Unlimited Food Creation (Gold) talent.]

[No wonder it was graded as a Gold talent! It truly was worthy of its grading!]

[However, just as you were about to test your Absolute Compass (Orange) talent, you were soon interrupted by dozens of blue screens appearing, which seemed to be the regional chat group feature that the World Will has somehow bestowed upon all survivors.]

[Aside from that, you also possessed the ability to upgrade your raft using materials obtained from scavenging the ocean or from resource-rich areas.]

[Checking the regional chat group, which had 99,996/100,000 members, you assumed that those four must have already died due to unfortunate spawn points like the raft being near a whirlpool or it being near sea predators like killer whales or sharks.]

[As you browsed through the regional chat group, a certain message from a survivor piqued your interest.]

[{King King: Have any of you found weird-looking fruits? I have used my innate talent to acquire information about this world, and it seemed that this world has a unique product called "Fairy Fruits".}]
