There are ships in space, strange kiosks selling skill pearls and stranger potions on land, and adventurers saving the world of Wett from seven-year floods. But there isn’t a single bit of luck in Isaac’s pocket. He has no money, the laws of magic — the Boon and Bane he was born with — are restrictive as heck, and his future seems to be heading straight into a dead end when life suddenly gives him a choice: Stay at home, become a parasite, a neet, a failure, or risk it all, and be like the heroes saving the eternal empire again and again. Become an adventurer, that one-in-a-million ideal of selfless heroism, and see the stars for himself. There’s schemers and brutal competition to overcome, and friends to make before Isaac can build a build that will shoot him straight past the stratosphere. Here’s to hoping Isaac can withstand what comes after. +++ Heyo, YJarex here. I wrote this story with a whole number of inspirations in mind, from pirate stories and Star Trek, Path of Ascension, HunterxHunter, Mouseguard, Bone, and so many stories that dripped with a vision of vibrant worlds and newness. The story is primarily focused on exploration, characters, and progression, so if you’re into that, stick around.  Chapters will be between 2500-3500 words on average, releasing MON/WED/FRI once I'm done posting daily. What to expect: - Socially adept main character.- Slow-burn story and progression.- An interesting twist and tradeoff for our protagonist’s power.- Some parts slice-of-life, some parts action.- Meeting new people, places, things, cultures, ideas, etc.- Maybe some romance, but never the focus of the story.
