When the system warned the world it was coming a week in advance, Alex couldn't have been more excited. In college for a degree he didn't care about to get a job he didn't want, the promise of a world where magic and challenge awaited — even at the potential cost of death — was the best news he could have imagined. He wasn't ready for his only friend to shove him through a portal into hell the moment the apocalypse started. Instead of hunting rabbits and farming wolves, Alex finds himself stranded in a warped world where even the bugs are stronger than he is. Even with a summoner class that gains the powers of its monsters, most people would have died. Alex didn't get the memo. Where others saw certain death, he found opportunity.

When the System warned the world it was coming, the world panicked. Alex prepared. In college for a degree he didn't care about, the promise of a world where magic and challenge awaited — even at the risk of death — was the best news Alex could have imagined. He was ready for a new life. He wasn't, however, ready for his only friend to shove him through a portal into hell the moment the apocalypse started. Instead of hunting rabbits and farming wolves to start out, Alex finds himself stranded in a warped world where everything, including the bugs, is stronger than he is. Even with a Summoner Class that gains the powers of its monsters, most people would have died. Alex didn't get the memo — where others saw certain death, he finds opportunity.

The Apocalypse is the most fun Alex has had in his entire life. He's having a grand time fighting every challenge the System throws at him — and making up a few of his own along the way. His antics have earned him a few friends and a hell of a lot more enemies. The Outworlder Families, invading forces from planets long since Initialized by the System, have arrived to loot it of every resource and scrap of power they can get their hands on. They're deadly, ruthless, and will stop at nothing. Their latest target: a Town Token, a rare artifact that can create an incredibly powerful System-recognized town. An opportunity that Alex just snagged out from right under their noses. The Outworlders aren't going to be too happy about that — but that's exactly what Alex is counting on.
