2 hr 18 min · 32 chapters

A new continent rises out of the Pacific, and everyone who steps ashore gets a class, a level and the Atlas: a book of a thousand Wonders, and the first person to finish it inherits the world. Nearly everyone comes down the ramp with a sword up and gets a fighting class. Dale Tummins stepped off the boat reading a fake map, so he's the world's only Cartographer. Phil carries his suitcase, Hollis bills him for everything, and the whole beach is racing for the Seven Impossible Keys to the sealed city on the hill. Book One of a ten-book LitRPG. A free story by LineCrush.

What's your class?

Your class is whatever you were doing when your foot touched the sand. What would you be doing?

Pick one. The Atlas reads your entry out loud, so everyone on the beach hears it.

It talks

Ask the Atlas

It defines any word you ask for, out loud, and answers only from the book.

Cartographer. Noun. One who makes maps. There is no map of the Unclaimed.

  4. A lost Wonder cannot be rediscovered.
  5. A set is held in one hand.
