[Welcome to Planet Ixions Pioneers, were you are at it's Oceans Depths!]

[So listen well humans from Earth, as you can see, you are all trapped on this planets depths, two thousand meters below the sea level.]

[This is a alien planet that is tens of thousands of times larger than the Earth itself, and its surface is covered by a solid layer of ice!]

[Under this boundless and vast ice layer, there is a deep and endless abyss!]

[And among the abyss, are endless resources, opportunities and wealth!]

[Similarly, there are also all kinds of deadly aquatic creatures and marine flora!]

[Here, you will face all kinds of alien aquatic creatures and huge challenges from the unknowns that hide in the dark of the abyss!]

[In addition, the pressure from being under water, the unpredictable undercurrents of the seabed, and the complex and huge marine cave structure like cobwebs that will be the most deadly threats during your dive!]

[And with you, there is only the most basic exploration submarine, for which you all will commandeer.]

[Your current and only goal, is to Survive!]

[Do everything possible to mine resources, upgrade your submarine, and maintain your survival!]

[Before the ice layer in the current area collapses, try to dive to the first outpost where you should all gather!]

[Warning! Warning! Warning!]

[Don't try to take shortcuts, diving with a exploration submarine without any upgrades, will result with the pressure in the deeper parts of the abyss crushing you alive as your submarine is squeezed with you in it giving you a slow and painfull death!]

[As will as the more terrifying abyss sirens will easily tear your submarine apart!]

[Therefore, you all have a limited time, you must all upgrade your submarines in which your survival depends on, while doing so will result in you being alive to face more challenges ahead of you!]

[Now, please name your initial submarine:——]

Inside the cramped submarine cockpit.

Norman frowned of what he read.

On the central control display in front of him, the lines of green bold font information made him question if this was a dream.

He vaguely remember that he was working out in the gym, the next second, a large amount of white light began to flash around him and the Familiar faces of those around him disappeared out of thin air, and than he lost consciousness.

When he opened his eyes again, he appeared in this unfamiliar place.

As the sweat that is still clinging onto his body, and his heart rate that is still beating rapidly after exercising.

All proved that he was taken away by some mysterious power in an instant.

This method has gone beyond Normans understanding.

If he has to find a far-fetched reason, there is no doubt that he must have been teleported.

"Teleporting everyone from Earth just like that,... man that's some crazy shit? and what's this about Surviving the abyss?!"

Norman took a deep breath, still trying to figure out if this real or not.

But he still couldn't bear to believe it, as it was just not something that happens everyday.

As his gaze moved, he was taken aback by the sight outside the huge glass porthole in front of the submarines cockpit.

Just seeing a pale beam of light pointed straight ahead, illuminating the surrounding area of ​​about twenty or thirty meters.

Wherever the light reached, faint white floating objects mixed with some tiny air bubbles were slowly moving outside the porthole along with the gentle flow of water.

In addition, everything further away was nothing but deep darkness!

The moment he saw this scene, Norman only felt that dreaded feeling of fear of the unknown that he was in a dead silent and dark boundless space!

The oppression of the deep sea, making people feel incomparably small and not knowing what is staring back at you from the darkness itself.

The almost suffocating visual impact made Normans body shiver.

It took a long time before Norman came back to his senses.

"Sure enough, am I at the bottom of the ocean hahaha.... fuuuck?"

After a moment of silence, Norman spoke.

".....So this iron casket is going to be my submarine huh?"

After a brief look around of where he is, Norman didn't want to panic, so he started calming himself down.

He started remembering various online research of submarines and documentary's about the same subject, which gives him a advantage towards his survival, at least he hopes that's the case.

Either way in the face of such a bizarre situation, he was even feeling little excited.

Submarines are rarely seen by ordinary people.

Norman has only seen submarines used for movies or in documentary's that are researching the ocean depths.

It would be a lie to say that he was not curious and excited when you're on your first submarine for the first time.

However, reason and his surroundings reminded Norman of his situation, that now is not the time for curiosity or excitement.

Since his survival is at stake, the top priority is to first figure out the settings and rules of this so call survival in the ocean depths, which to him sounded more of a survival game.

His eyes started moving towards the bottom of the central control display, the so-called naming your submarine bar.

He Tap the display bar.

Norman hesitated and typed in the words "Tartarus."

The word "Tartarus" has a special meaning in Greek.

The so-called Tartarus in Greek mythology is the deep abyss that is used as a dungeon of torment and suffering for the wicked and is the prison for the Titans.

And since the message about Surviving by deep diving into the abyss, Norman felt that the word Tartarus described the theme of his situation very well.

The next moment, when he finished naming his submarine.

The text on the center control display changed again.

[Name entered successfully, your submarines name is: Tartarus!]

[Before everyone starts their race for survival, please keep the following points in mind!]

[1. The submarine has an automatic navigation function. During the automatic navigation mode, the submarine will automatically go to the nearest gathering outpost according to the established route.]

Everything is unknown, so be warned!]
