『Starting with a Small Wooden Raft』
Global Ocean Survival Game · Era of the Ocean Ruins Core Outline Year 1 of the Era of the Ocean Ruins. In the exact same instant, all humanity across the globe is forcibly drawn into a cross-dimensional ocean survival game by the system. Time in the real world is frozen, and all players are bound under mandatory real-name registration, with their identity records permanently archived by the system. The game operates on a two-tier zoning structure: National Macro-Zones → Numbered Sub-Zones. Each sub-zone starts with a fixed count of 100,000 players. Once the number of surviving players in a sub-zone drops below 50,000, the system initiates a mandatory zone merge, folding the survivors into an adjacent sub-zone within the same macro-zone. Following the merger, the population resets to the 100,000 tier, which simultaneously wipes the old sub-zone leaderboards and refreshes regional events. Basic Starting Loadout (Uniform for all players): Crude Wooden Raft Fishing Rod Bread ×1 Fresh Water 500g Personal Survival Panel Novice Protection Period: During this period, players within the same sub-zone cannot encounter one another and cannot initiate PvP. Everyone can only develop independently, gather supply crates, fish, and craft items, though trading via the system panel is permitted. Only after the protection period ends will players across the same sea enter an encounterable state, enabling combat and teaming up. Raft progression centers primarily on vessel upgrades.
