Survival System: Lost Island

The taste of salt wakes you before the sun. You're lying on the shore, your cheek against the damp sand. The surf laps at your ankles. The sky is too clear for what you remember: the crash, the screams, the cruise ship listing during the college trip.

You get up. You look around, searching for signs of society… or of the people who were with you. For now, there's nothing. No voices. No smoke. Just beach, palm trees, and the distant hull of something that no longer looks like a ship.

You check your pockets. Your phone is soaked, the screen is black, useless.

You walk along the shore. In the distance, you see your backpack, torn and half-buried. You crouch down. Inside, among wet clothes and a swollen notebook, is the one-piece knife: the hunting knife you'd been so excited about while watching survival videos.

You take it.

A blue, transparent window appears in front of you.

「 Item purchased — Hunting Knife (Premium Quality) 」

When you focus your attention, a window opens to an interface. You see your statistics. To the side, a counter: Survival Points. If you focus your gaze on those points, a shop appears: knowledge books, skills you can exchange, and some items.

The system is waiting.
