About this story

Marco trained his whole life for one thing: to become a captain. He maxed every childhood achievement the System would let him, from diving to rigging to outrunning couriers up mountains. But when classing day finally comes, the system doesn’t just make him a captain. It makes him a Gluttonous Marauder. On the plus side, it’s a unique class with combat perks, shipwright skills, and captain material. On the negative side, it comes with a reputation so bad he’s arrested on the spot. Now on the run in a barely seaworthy smuggler’s dinghy, Marco sets out to prove he’s not the villain they think he is. Unfortunately, he first needs to out-sail bounty hunters, survive cursed dungeons, and feed enough victories to his ever-growing ship to outrun every danger thrown his way.
