A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality - Chapter 14 - Mysterious Liquid

Deep below the earth's surface, a mystifying subterranean seascape lurks, an archipelago bathed in inky blackness where suspense and horror hold court. Here lie strange islands and even stranger monsters, far beyond the realms of human imagination. In this domain, mankind is far from dominant; instead, madness and death rule supreme.

Pleading for mercy from the unknown creatures of the deep only leads to a slow, tortured existence. The trapped survivors gradually distort, losing what made them human, both physically and mentally, to the gloom as they remain trapped in this eternal obscurity. Their only hope? A perilous expedition into uncharted sea territories.

Fueled by determination, Charles embark on this daunting voyage aboard his steamship, aiming to reclaim humanity's past glory. Together with his crew, they sought a way out of this hidden sea world, a path back to the sunlit world above, where humans once stood tall.

I read a few comments from Chinese readers that compared this novel with Lord of Mysteries because of similar elements: Lovecraftian, western fantasy, first industrial revolution, and steampunk. However, I have yet to finish reading Lord of Mysteries to do any actual comparison, but I do think those who have enjoyed that novel would enjoy this as well. Also, the author of LotM, Cuttlefish That Loves Diving, also did a shout-out for this novel, so I guess he approves of it too?

Mu Yue traveled to the world of Naruto and became an ordinary chuunin teacher at Konoha Ninja School and a member of the Root Organization.

Fortunately, after awakening the teacher system, you can become stronger by teaching.

In order not to become Danzo’s consumables, Mu Yue worked hard to teach and increase her strength.

“Complete the teaching rated A for the first time and receive the reward – mastery of fire attribute chakra properties change.”

“Under your guidance, Uchiha Shisui has worked hard to practice, and his overall strength has been greatly improved, and he has been rewarded – the Immortal Human Body!”

Under Mu Yue’s guidance, Zhishui understood that the village’s enemies were not necessarily other big countries, but could also be within the village. People who spoke righteously about the will of fire might not necessarily act in accordance with the will of fire.

Obito got rid of the title of being the weakest person in the ninja school, and Metkai became a master of physical skills even earlier…
