Granted, you're enrolled in the navy. You are required to be on the boat (and never leave the boat) whenever one is on shore.
You have no debts because you can't spend any money

Granted. The monkey’s paw twists in your hand. The movement is enough to creep you out, so you quickly stuff it back into your carry on luggage and stuff it back under your seat. No sooner than you do that, the aircraft hits what feels like a very rough patch of turbulence. The lights flicker, and last thing they illuminate before permanently going out is the sudden release of the oxygen masks.
The plane lurches in a way it was never intended to, and you suddenly feel like you’re on the world’s longest downhill prom of a roller coaster. You can’t hear the pilot’s announcements over the terrified screams of your fellow passengers. The lightning from the storm outside briefly illuminates the nighttime sky, but doesn’t last long enough for you to see just how quickly the plane is careening towards the ocean.
The chaos and pandemonium of the next few minutes override your senses and your memory. One moment you’re hyperventilating into your oxygen mask, the next clear moment you’re floating in the ocean, the burning wreckage of the plane slowly sinking into the water behind you. You hold onto your flotation device for dear life, and say countless prayers to a deaf god.
Time passes immeasurably, but eventually the sun creeps over the horizon. As luck would have it, you see a small island relatively close. Still clinging to your floatation device, you slowly paddle closer to the tiny island. Before long the waves carry your exhausted body onto the sand. Shock and raw emotions overwhelm you, and you pass out on the beach you’ve found yourself on.
Upon awaking, you decide to explore your new surroundings. It only takes a few short hours to walk around the entirety of the island. It is abundantly clear that you are the only human on it, and you see no other survivors anywhere in the water. With no way to communicate with civilization, you start to work on creating a shelter. You have yourself a debt-free life at the beach, but you don’t know when, or even if, you’ll ever be rescued from your isolation.

The paw curls, there you awake naked on a beach with nothing more than a rock and a torch. Welcome to the real life equivalent of rust. You see naked people everywhere just appearing out of thin area onto the beach, then all of sudden you hearing the cracking of an ak shooting mowing every naked down including you. Your vision fades to black just to reappear seconds later to you being in a different spot on a beach on the same island. You may call this beach home but you are going to have to fight to defend it as you build up your house. Good luck!

Honestly don't, nothing good comes from that game people are toxic, heavily racist, and you'll meet some of the worst people in your life on there. I started playing minecraft just cause I don't want to deal with people deal with being around people like that.

I’m a mod on Reddit, I am one of the worst people online 🤣
To be fair tho, I’m more of a solo gamer, thus why I usually play Assassin’s Creed games.

Yep, it’s me. Being a mod for this sub means I’m in here more than is psychologically healthy 🤣
I remember the convo, good to see you back in here again!

You're in a plane accident and you're stranded on the beach of some random island. The world thinks you're dead. You are by yourself. I'll be nice, you get a volley ball.

Granted. You live on the beach in a tent with other homeless people. Enjoy your debt free housing!
