When the system apocalypse hits, Haley is ready to become a wizard — but the system has other plans for her. A feel-good slice-of-life series following Haley Landry, her grandmother Nana, and the small town of Refuge as they navigate a cozy post-apocalyptic world with a game system imposed by magical aliens. Each installment is a short, warm read complete with a recipe.


Haley has embraced her new meta class and is ready for anything — except a plague of seafood. It turns out it is harder than she thought to sit back and let other people handle the problems she really wants solved. A second heartwarming adventure with Haley and Nana.

The system issues Haley a new quest: set up a starter dungeon for Refuge's adventurers in time for Halloween. Haley is not exactly into creepy things — but with unexpected enthusiastic help and guidance from Nana, she begins to see things in a different light.

When Nana's class evolution requires turning their family home into an inn, Haley balks. This house is a point of comfort and stability she is reluctant to surrender. She has risen to every challenge the Trials have brought — but this one is going to be hard.

Haley finally lands an exciting quest for herself: make her first potion. But her concentration is shattered when a difficult new applicant arrives at the inn. With the holidays approaching, can Haley juggle her questline, Christmas preparations, and one grumpy teen baker without disaster?

Spring approaches as the town of Refuge is asked to face the Trial's true challenge — an event that divides its population and brings Haley, now a level 9 Questgiver, to a deeply personal crossroads. After nine months working with the alien system and guiding Refuge's growth, she faces the hardest decision of her life — one that no one can make for her, and whose outcome will shape the future.
