Apocalypse Tamer

Basil Bohen was asleep when the System arrived and the world changed. Dungeons popped up across the planet, summoning invaders and monsters from alternate realities. Ancient gods were woken. All humans were empowered with levels and classes — with one instruction from the System: whoever reaches level 100 first becomes Earth's new Overgod. So began a worldwide battle royale of epic proportions — which Basil would rather sit out. Choosing the Tamer profession, which lets him speak with his cat Plato and other apocalyptic monsters, he'll adopt and train them to fight alongside him and defend his corner of the countryside. After all, why bother fighting the apocalypse when you can tame it?

Invaders have burned down Basil's home. He's out for blood. Now short of a house, Basil and his pets leave the countryside for the wider world, determined to show the factions vying for control over post-apocalypse Europe that nothing can beat a dragon-riding tamer and his monster menagerie. But new challenges arise: a mysterious figure named Kalki and his connection to the System, the nemesis Apollyon and his allies the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, and the question of which Parisian landmark makes the better dungeon.

One Horseman of the Apocalypse down, three more to go. Basil and his team leave France as acclaimed heroes, but a new threat rises in the East: his homeland of Bulgaria is besieged by the mechanical armies of the Unity and their ruthless dragon general, Blackcinders. With the help of his new ally Kalki, Basil must journey across Europe and prove that mankind won't kneel — all while searching for his mother, and with the Maleking scheming to enter Earth in person.

Earth's days are numbered. The final Incursion is only days away, the Horsemen of the Apocalypse have arrived, the Maleking is coming, and the Unity is making its final play. The great competition for the throne of Overgod is reaching its end — whoever reaches level 100 first gains ultimate power. Basil and his team are determined to win this battle royale at all costs. But it is one thing to conquer the world and another to save it.
