Chapter 1 - THE SEA VIOLATED ME

"AAAHHHHH, YES. JUST LIKE THAT."

She moaned crazily while taking his Iron Rod inside her. Her bare breasts and her tanned abs were hard as rock.

"HARDER. DO IT EVEN HARDER."

She screamed her lungs out as his rod thrusts deeper and deeper inside her. Her moaning sounded more like a war cry and an order to her subordinate.

Then, the focus shifted to the bare lean upper body of the fair skinned man whose rod still tingled inside her. Suddenly, he turned.

Ahh…you must be confused. Let me clear all your doubts in an instant. Hi, I am Leon Alexander Longwood. I am 24 years old. To understand what's going on here, right now. Let's go back in time a little.

2 weeks ago –

A Small Cruise could be seen on a harbor, docked nearby. On it, stood a tall guy. It was Leon. He was six feet tall, with a lean and athletic build. He was not that much muscular, but his body was strong and agile. He had dark brown hair that often fell slightly messy across his forehead which was left unstyled along with a sharp jawline that gave his face a firm outline. His eyes were steel gray of color, carrying a steady and observant look. His skin was slightly tanned due to the hot exposure to sun.

Leon arrived an hour before boarding. The ship stood above the water, docked like a floating hotel. There were white steel walls that were several decks high and long lines of windows reflecting the morning sun. Workers were loading luggage carts one after another.

The cruise was set to leave from Harbor on a clear morning in early June. The passengers gathered near the boarding ramp. Some were taking photos while others laughed and pointed at the ocean. A band of musicians played near the terminal entrance. The music echoed over the water.

Leon simply stood quietly near the railing and watched everything. He liked observing people. A family of five argued over boarding passes. A young couple filmed a short video near the gangway. A man in a bright shirt tried to convince his wife to try the onboard casino. Leon smiled.

"Thank goodness, I booked it 3 weeks ago." he said, while watching the chaotic mess unfold in front of him. A crew member waved passengers forward.

"Boarding group B."

Leon picked up his small duffel bag and joined that line. The ramp was making a creaking sound softly as people walked onto the ship. A crewman in white uniform was standing there.

"Welcome aboard," he said while smiling. 

Leon nodded once and stepped onto the deck. The atmosphere changed immediately. Music played through speakers. Staff members guided guests toward elevators and cabins. Waiters served the guests with beverages and light snacks.

The ship had a faint smell of polished wood and salty air. Leon walked along the side of the deck. Below him the harbor water moved in a rippling motion due to waves. He stopped at the railing and put his arms on the metal bar. A deep horn sounded across the harbor. Passengers turned toward the sound. Thick ropes were released from the dock. The engines started beneath the floor.

The cruise had begun. The afternoon passed quietly. Leon went on to explore the ship. The liner had more than two thousand passengers. It had three swimming pools, two theaters, and a dining hall filled with glass chandeliers. Leon was just too stressed from his work, just wanted to have some rest, that is all what he planned for and the luxurious environment of the cruise was apt for it.

As evening was near, the sky looked orange due to sunset, then eventually, it turned into a dark night sky, then the stars appeared above the ocean. Leon stood once again near the railing, watching the waves beneath the ship. After standing there for such a long time, Leon noticed that the waves looked weird.

BOOM

Something struck the ship. The entire ship moved violently beneath his feet. A powerful tremor occurred and a deep metallic grinding sound came from somewhere below the decks.

"What was that?"

"Did we hit something?"

"Is everyone safe?"

Before anyone could answer, the ship shook again, this time far more violently. Emergency lights of red color started flickering along the walls as alarm sirens suddenly rang throughout the vessel.

Leon held the railing and looked down toward the water. The ocean beneath the ship was moving. At first the motion appeared subtle, but within seconds it became terrifying. The water then began to rotate in a massive spiral beneath the ship. The waves turned inward as the sea itself started rotating which gave it a swirling shape. The ocean current grew stronger by the second, forming a massive vortex beneath the cruise ship.

A Whirlpool. Passengers screamed as the water pulled the ship inside. The ship tilted as the powerful current hit against it. Chairs and tables slid across the floor while small objects started falling everywhere. Another wave hit against the side of the ship, sending freezing seawater crashing across the deck.

The whirlpool continued expanding. The ocean was pulling the entire ship toward the center. The Crew members were shouting instructions while passengers ran desperately toward lifeboats to save themselves, but the deck had tilted too steeply for anyone to move safely. Panic erupted everywhere as the once luxurious cruise liner transformed into a scene of chaos. Another massive wave crashed across the deck.

Leon struggled to keep his footing and maintain the balance as the ship was shaking beneath him. The enormous vessel broke under the crushing pressure of the swirling ocean. The vortex dragged the ship closer. People screamed as the enormous vessel had broken into small pieces.

Then another colossal wave struck the deck. The impact knocked Leon off. His hands slipped from the railing. His body was in the air and within seconds into freezing water.

The shock of the icy water stopped the breath from his lungs as he sank deep into the dark waves. Leon struggled instinctively, kicking his legs in the water while violent currents dragged his body but the massive whirlpool pulled everything downward.

Leon fought desperately to swim upward, but the current dragged him deeper. His limbs grew heavy as exhaustion and the cold water slowly drained his strength. The last thing he saw was the naked body of a middle aged woman who died while being stuck in the railing.

Then everything went blank.

Leon opened his eyes weakly and stared up at a blue sky. A warm sun and a very hot environment, The sound of gentle waves reached his ears while his face had sand all over it. . For several moments he remained still, struggling to understand where he was.

Then, he pushed himself upright slowly, his entire body was aching with exhaustion. His clothes were soaked and got filled with dried salt while his muscles pained from the strain of surviving the ocean. As his vision finally cleared, Leon realized that he was lying on a sandy beach.

The shoreline stretched endlessly in both directions. No sign of survivors or any supplies could be seen.

Leon began walking along the shoreline, searching for anything useful he could find. For nearly an hour he scanned the beach, hoping to find debris from the ship or signs that someone else had survived the disaster but, aside from some wooden planks and small fragments of broken material, there was nothing.

Eventually he stopped walking and looked toward the dense jungle rising behind the beach. Weird roars and animal sounds came from there.

"Ahh...I am fucked." Leon said, but then suddenly –

[Ding]

Leon froze as a glowing blue screen suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. Something translucent appeared floating in the air before him. Words slowly appeared across the display.

A blue color panel appeared in thin air.
