《Aqua Requiem Bloodlines》Where am I, ship girls world?
Advertisement
My chest hurts a lot and my lungs are stopped working as I tried to breathe in as deep as I can but no air enters, my inner organs need more oxygen as I squeezed my body in pain. My heart started to beat as hard as possible for air. Seconds become hours as my heart keeps beating for more air. Finally, I blanked up.
Introduce myself, I am lordol, a self-claimed gamer who have played many games and etc, Jokes aside. Where am I now? as I stared at the ceiling blankly. I remember that I need to breathe, as my lungs need more air. I breathe in the air as hard as I can to a state that I no longer can hold them. Then I breathe out.
"Okay I am still alive, where am I now?" I really wonder that. I find myself on the bed do nothing but breathing in and out rapidly. Suddenly a knocking sound comes from the door, Seriously am I already dead? I ask myself but no answer comes from my side. Just then the door is forced open, then a British mid-aged lady asking me for rental fees out of no reason. So in a way that I kind of inviting her to my room just ignored the part that she uses her key to open it. She simply demands me to pay up the rental fees on top of that some extra fees for some retarded reasons like refused to open the door when she knocks. At the same time, attaching some vulgar words in her words, which really make me cannot stand her, but I have to hold my anger due to the fact that she can kick me any time she wants. I explain to her that I am half asleep thus for the slow response time in answering her. In the meantime, I am serving her a cup of china tea using the Premium Chinese tea leaves that I open a new box of it which is laying around the corner.
Once she sees the Premium Chinese tea, her eyes seem to stare at it, which appear strange to me. Out of no reason, she offers me that the box that I recently for one-month rent fees and some random fees that I find it too strange to even mention about it. I initially ask for a 3-month waiver of rental fee and other fees included, but she refused and we end up bargaining. In the end, we settle for 2 months wavier of rental fee and any other fees.

But the way I have not enough money to pay for the rental fee and the box of tea leaves worth 3 months of rental fees if it is bought to other countries. 2 month of waiver of rental and any other fees is considered fair as at least I do not have to be bothered by her with the fees that she suddenly comes out with.
According to the previous owner of this body who somehow manage to have the same name as mine. The reason that he rent this room despite the expensive price and greedily landlord, due to this place that I am currently living in is near the Royal Navy Academy. Where this former owner aims to study in. His goal is to get a ship girl and raise a family with her back in China at the same time continue the tea plantations.
His life goal is like a joke to me, what is the point of getting a ship girl? is the previous owner brain have rotten already?
ship girls are he joking, does he think he is in Kantai Collection? or some games.
Based on his memories, I find it funny as this world is like a combination of Kantai Collection, Warship girls, Aure Lane and some other ship girls game.
In the summary, this is mixed of ship plus girls world with the confusing resource management system that depends on the bloodline. As each bloodline uses different resource management system which I have a theory but it is not confirmed that is the worlds have been mixed up thus the resource usage really depends on what world the bloodline comes from.
I list out what resource used from the ship girls and control on what type of ship girls been built
Aure Lane: Gold and Oil, (hardly any control)
Kantai Collection: 4 main parts of resources (Parts, Ammo, Metal, Oil) and Gold (some form of control)
Warship girls: Same as Kantai Collection (some form of control)
I guess it is 2 resources to 5 resources, maybe each resources system have its pro and con. More different resources mean harder for the captain to build or manage but at the same time, it enables Captains to have better control on what ships they prefer to build based on resources distributed during the construction process.
Back to reality.
Where am I, I remember paying the lady rental using a box of Chinese tea. I still have 3 boxes left. I take a look at my room. There is nothing except for a table, a bed and a foldable Chinese shipgirl laid on the bed poster that wrote as 艦娘征服 (I think it means ship girl captured/conquered), there is also a thumb up with along with a calendar that stated that tomorrow is a new opening ceremony for the Royal Navy Academy, the word is too long so I should shorten it as RNA. RNA is just a navy school that train for future captains and ship girls. It is also recruiting potential captains in their team with their fight against the Abyss as they are one of the main force who fighting the Abyss, actually, whoever controls the trade routers are forced to fight the Abyss anyway.

What I can retrieve the information and history of this world is that people can build shipgirl, (Please skip this as it does not affect any of the storylines) which is like building a ship. Once the ship is done, it becomes the shipgirl, so this world history version is a bit twisted from my version of history. Britain has tried many times to trade with China but all are unsuccessful due to unforeseen accidents. In the early 19th century, in my history version is started that British is in the industrial period where they are fighting against who, I really forget which country. Due to too many products produce, they have markets but all of them are full except China. So they have to trade with Chinese but British cloth products are not popular for the Rich as they prefer silk while Poor have not enough money to buy. Meanwhile, the British natives prefer Chinese Tea, Silk and Pottery products(3 products). On top of that, different currencies make it harder for British to trade as British use gold coins as currency while Chinese are only interested in the silver bar.
As a result, the British have to move to other places to trade for silver then trade for those 3 products. The transport of those products makes British occur serious losses through the years. Opium is from India is the way to save money and time. As Chinese trade them for the 3 products.
Opium is so bad that it affects everyone in China that it weakens the power of the Royal. Thus Royals have to stop, actions that like burning the opium ship and stopping the trade of opium, as a result of first and second opium war that forced the opening of China market. Then later this and that incident, all those incidents are linked to one and another.
In the summary, according to my history, Chinese despite being early adopters of gunpowder in history like 13 to 14 century or maybe there are other countries who can use it even earlier, they are hiding from my history. Chinese do not improve their weaponry as it is too peaceful for them, once the foreign attacks with a higher tier of tech, they are pretty useless against them. Later on, it is hard for them to catch up on those techs.
Compared to mine, this world history is almost the same but deep girls (abyss or deep sea whatever it is) attack which makes British suffer even more losses. Abyss sometimes has items drops materials like Ship parts, ammo, metal and money like silver/gold while it rarely drops construction cubes. Thus hunting abyss is a good career but not everyone has the luck to be one. It relies on the one bloodline to summon a good ship at least. The one that at least has a cannon on it for it to work.
The construction cubes become the popular product as it can be used to summon shipgirls. Why have one, if you can get 2 or more? that is the idea behind the shipgirl industry. Ones the British introduce those cubes, it becomes more addict than Opium as men can get girls easier plus the ship girls can train to do certain tasks, most ship girls are pure like a baby after they are born. Making some men like to keep them as wives compare to another woman.
After a few years, it is later discovered by scrapping down ships have a chance of getting those sweet construction cubes. Mc is living in a world where Britain is trading those cubes with China for 3 product and other resources.
Out of the sudden, a new pop up have to appear for no reason.
Welcome to the new world, Lordol, a new system has been activated and negative traits and perks have been removed. On top of that bloodline have been improved.
Note that the more detailed introduction of the Mc has been done on the Tactical RPG World Prologue chapter. Therefore I skipped the introduction almost completely.

Redshirt: The Journey
Freedom and Order. Peace and War. Love and Hate. Hundreds of young children awaken in a damaged world, on the brink of societal collapse, witnessing the birth of an omnipotent system. Their roles are pre-determined, yet the very fabric of reality lie in their hands. The order of the world shapes them, just how they are free to shape the world in their disparate visions. Each choice, each action, each word, has consequences that reach far beyond their perception. Freedom or Order; ashes in the wind, or the gilded chains. Updates at least every Monday, Thursday, and every other Sarturday, (from 26/11/2021). This is primarily a story exploring what it means to be human, using a lens of a hopefully real-feeling fantasy world. This story is not a power fantasy or a traditional Litrpg , while it has elements of these genres, it will focus on how these tropes would influence real people and possibly Redshirt will break some of these tropes along the way. There will be a variety of different characters and perspectives, some you hate, some you love, and some that will frustrate. Just as all people do. I don't believe there will be anything overly traumatic or explicit, but it's better to be safe than sorry. There will be some heavy topics explored, the characters views do not reflect the authors; however, if there is an issue in how I present/understand these issues please do tell me, and I will try my best to rectify it.
