The world of Mecc has fallen into permanent night. Monsters roam the countryside, the sun refuses to rise, and towns and cities alike are falling into disarray. Their only hope is the ancient prophecy, which says a hero of light will emerge to save humanity in their darkest hour... 20 years from now.

Too little, too late for those living now.

In the midst of the the apocalypse, college student Oscar McAllister finds himself out of a job and out of luck. After accidentally ending up slaying a daemon on his way to get the groceries however, Oscar is haplessly drawn into the world of adventuring and questing, and with the old world falling apart - Oscar becomes one of the many tasked with trying to hold everything together. As he fights however, he is forced to face not just the evil that lurks in the shadows: but the indifference that lurks in people's hearts.

The world is playing a waiting game with human lives, and Oscar is caught right in the middle of it.

Note: This is a dark LitRPG story, with dungeons, levelling, and quests in a contemporary setting. Unfortunately, I'm only supposed to select nine genres, and Scribblehub is a bit weird with tags (apparently there's tags for disfigurement and divorce, but alcoholism is just a bit too far lol).

I've also selected all of the content warnings, since I'm Australian and I have absolutely no filter.

Permanight is currently on hiatus while I prepare a rewrite based on the current feedback I've recieved. I'm sorry for the bad news, but I want to bring the world to life in a way that feels real, and at the moment - I'm not entirely convinced that I'm doing that.
