To do list for the post apocalypse:

1. Survive the orcs rampaging through your city.

2. Survive the pod trying to steal your mind.

3. Pull off the greatest heist of all time.

As far as Eric was concerned, the apocalypse had come just in time!

Just days before the premier of his sister’s latest movie.

Which meant that the world would never have to endure his awful acting.

Instead they would be forced to suffer the depredations of countless abominations doing all they could to take over Earth at the very moment all technology fails, leading to the collapse of governments worldwide, and the slaughter of countless millions.

If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

And there was absolutely nothing that Eric or his sister could do to stop them.

Not unless they dared absolute madness, and entered the very vegetative pods that had already cost countless people their lives.

Because you really could level up in this brave new world, and embrace magic, peril, and limitless power!

So long as you didn’t mind a 90% mortality rate in pods as happy to turn you into topsoil as give you any shot at mastering a System designed for the elite invaders working to crush all of humanity under their heels.

But Eric was all about beating the odds…

Even if it killed him.

Author's Note - I plan in releasing 1 chapter a day for the next thirty days. I will then be posting at least 3 times a week. This story is for anyone who enjoys slow-rise-to-power story arcs!

Our hero will start out humbled and desperate, struggling just to survive. And slowly, with time, diligence, and training his butt off, he'll evolve into a powerhouse that will force even his enemies to treat him with respect.

And nothing beats the post-apocalyptic blues like stealing an absolute fortune in gold, right out from under the noses of everyone trying to kill you!

Enough gold to live like a king… or start a city of your own!
