Andy wanted a quiet life — just his trailer, the Sonoran desert, and a job that didn't ask much of him. Instead, he got a front-row seat to Tucson's collapse. Magic rewrote the rules. Monsters stalked the streets. People mutated — or died. He didn't plan to be a hero. But when the screaming started, Andy grabbed a broken broomstick and did what he does best: survive. Now he has more than his own skin to worry about — kids looking to him for protection, neighbors turning to him for leadership, and a trailer park slowly transforming into a fortress. The System is leveling him up, but not fast enough. The countdown is ticking, the invasions are coming, and if Andy fails, everyone he has begun to care about will be slaughtered.

Forty days until the first System invasion. No pressure. Andy wanted a quiet life — just his trailer, the Sonoran desert, and a job that didn't ask much of him. Instead, he got a front-row seat to Tucson's collapse. Magic rewrote the rules. Monsters stalked the streets. People mutated — or died. He didn't plan to be a hero. But when the screaming started, Andy grabbed a broken broomstick and did what he does best: survive. Now he has more than his own skin to worry about — kids looking to him for protection, neighbors turning to him for leadership, and a trailer park slowly transforming into a fortress. The System is leveling him up, but not fast enough. Because the countdown is ticking, the invasions are coming, and if Andy fails, everyone he has begun to care about will be slaughtered.
