Enjoyable fantasy story, sets the scene well and got me interested enough to finish, The set up for the characters is a good hook into the story. Hope the author adds to this piece.

Very exciting chapter. The traps made me think of an Indiana Jones movie. There were a few grammatical errors, but nothing too serious.

This is very interesting. Am I right in saying that these people are Korean? Their names look Korean to me. I plan to have sea battles in my story; is it okay if I use this chapter as a reference?

Is there more to this story? With your summary, I thought it would be a multichapter work. It would be a good multichapter work, since I'm wondering what kind of creature Aphelion is, not to mention the creature that ate Kijiro.
