About this story
Clayton was here, and now he finds himself elsewhere in the most dangerous way possible.
Arriving on another world and getting a class were normal compared to where he is now… Standing at the edge of the rules of reality, dithering on the border of a place where magic itself experiments and grows. Where it creates, destroys, and evolves as it deepens The System, and expands the borders of what is possible.
Armed with a spear and a class that can read the lines of Fate, Clayton embarks on a journey together with his three companions, their guide the promise of power and riches beyond anything they can imagine. IF they can survive long enough to grasp them, overpower the inevitable chaos, and fight through infinite -very eager to kill them- dangers to make their way back from The Far Places.
Based vaguely on Minecraft’s Far Lands, The Far Place is a combat driven story with light base-building built on top of a liminal-world journey through a world that follows no rules but its own ever-changing laws.
The Far Place is published on Royal Road. FicGems only lists the story's details and links to it; the chapters stay on the original site.
