Gravekeeper of the Star Sea

In the interstellar era, all fallen civilizations are dragged into the "Star Sea Graveyard." The protagonist, Lin Zang, inherits his grandfather's gravekeeper license, along with a scrapped funeral ship and a residual soul stethoscope. He can hear the final words of wrecked ships: the regrets of warships, the nostalgia of colony ships, the death logs of AIs. Each time he buries a starship, he gains a piece of civilization's legacy: curvature fragments, biological armor, lost star charts, even the last spark of a civilization. But the graveyard is not peaceful—raiders, black market fleets, the Civilization Archaeology Bureau, and "Grave Clearers" all vie for the relics. Lin Zang has no choice but to convert the funeral ship into a fleet, collecting corpses while fighting, and asking for the dead: How exactly did you die? — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Gravekeeper of the Star Sea — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
