Storm Strider

Five thousand kilometres from shore. A sea of leviathans snapping at her heels. Marisol has never felt more alive. Nearly a century ago, rifts opened and giant magic-blooded bugs descended upon humanity. They were named the ‘Swarm’ for their fierce, insatiable hunger for human flesh—but born and raised in a small desert village, Sand-Dancer Marisol wants nothing to do with them. All she wants to do is sail to a legendary island city and bring a vial of healing seawater back to her sickly mama. Who has time to care about some distant war? But just when she earns enough to pay for her once-in-a-lifetime trip to the city, a swarm of leviathans attack her ship and strand her in the middle of the sea, forcing her to pick a class from a system.  Three out of four classes will save her life and bring her home, but only one will let her stand on water, move forward, and save her mother. So what if her system tells her she has a less than one percent chance of making the journey? Marisol will skate to the city or die trying. Updates every Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday!
