The universe is dying. Thank God there’s a backup plan. Randomly selected by some mysterious higher power, Vin went from dirt-poor vagabond to humanity's hope for survival in the blink of an eye. Now a member of the first wave of humans sent to colonize a planet that defies all logic, Vin is expected to leave his wanderlust behind him and focus on the greater good. But when that same unknown power gives him the option to choose a class, Vin just can’t help himself from becoming an Explorer.  In a patchwork world filled with impossible magic, deadly monsters, and powerful artifacts, it’s now Vin’s job to go out and discover the rules of this new world they need to survive on. If only the System wasn’t already threatening to kill him.
