Synopsis
Rahul was flying back to San Francisco after a fulfilling company retreat to Japan. Halfway through, somewhere in the middle of the Pacific, the 'system' arrived.
The integration of the earth into the multiverse brings with it many perils and as many opportunities. What chance do 160 stranded employees of a tech giant have in a world without technology? Follow their journey as they scramble to survive and defend their island against all manner of beasts, gaining levels, skills, and titles in the process.
See how 'regular' humans without an infinite pool of resolve and courage deal with system integration.
I have attempted to avoid overused tropes and write a story from the perspective of regular people who find themselves in an impossible situation. The characters will struggle and grow, and there will be opportune circumstances that'll give them advantages, but they won't be OP right out of the box.
If rational characters, large-scale defensive battles, dungeon conquests, and fighting as part of a party are elements you enjoy in a story, then take a look!
Minor Spoiler: The story starts with a heavy theme of settlement management, but after the first minor arc, the content focuses exclusively on party-based combat (think RPG dungeon diving). There's an entire book's worth of content before we see settlement mechanics again around chapter 41.
