Lord of the Desolate Island: From Exile to Sea Sovereign

Lin Feng, a top special forces instructor, sacrificed himself to save hostages in the South China Sea. When he opens his eyes again, he finds himself in the body of a frail scholar exiled to a death island in the Daqian Dynasty. His situation is hellish from the start—his family was framed by powerful ministers, his father beheaded, his mother died striking a pillar, and upon arrival at the island, a foreman kicks him, breaking his ribs, and leaves him on the most desolate windward slope. He has only his twelve-year-old sister Xiaotang and an old soldier Zhao Tiezhu with a festering leg wound. They have no water, food, medicine, or weapons, not even a complete shelter from the wind. But before the rain on the death island stops, Lin Feng uses modern wilderness survival techniques like friction fire-making, seawater distillation, and intertidal foraging to provide fresh water and hot food within twenty-four hours. Using his special forces counter-reconnaissance skills and joint combat techniques, he repels local thugs, recruits exiled veterans on the island, and builds the first stronghold on the southern slope. Just as his territory begins to take shape, the typhoon season approaches, pirate ships appear offshore, and the island's criminal forces are about to strike back—but the interface called the 'Canghai Civilization System' in Lin Feng's mind has just unlocked its first technology blueprint. — Description from novelcodex.org
