Caught in a nuclear blast, soldier Alex Pierce and eleven comrades are dumped into a world of magic where stats rule and the System shows no mercy. Alex finds bigger problems than rations and childhood trauma: forest badgers with personal grudges, a kobold village too stubborn for diplomacy, smug elves, and an undead dungeon that didn't get the memo about staying dead. His power build is ruined by an early magical mishap, his fellow soldiers are a disaster, and his closest ally might be an evil talking river pebble. The System only cares about one thing: prove yourself worthy to exist — or be erased.
