B1 is now on Amazon KU: here. People vanished for years, and Luke is the last to discover why. Unknown beings transported humanity in mass waves to a realm where they cling to the edge. Near-godly monsters, beasts, and mythical creatures dominate the best 'core' lands. Luke, the last man on Earth one moment, finds himself in a monster-infested cave the next. His survival hinges on one decision: choosing a class. Drawn by nostalgia, he initially picks herbalist. A twist of fate sends him down a different path, becoming the next Reaver. Catapulted into a class trial with his life on the line, Luke's heart gains a three-day timer. Steeling his will to escape the cave and possibly find his father, Luke battles for every breath in this relentless reality. Last to arrive in a hostile new world, Luke must master the dark arts of a Reaver to survive. Releases a chapter every Monday, Wednesday & Friday at 07:12 EST
