Joe's world changed in a heartbeat. One minute he and his dog, Bixby were filming for his YouTube channel and the next, there were strange scrolls appearing in his vision and monsters from legend were chasing them across a strange stitched together landscape. The System had arrived and somehow, Joe and Bixby were left out of the tutorial with no information and no idea what's going on.

**Author's Note**

This is an Apocalyptic LitRPG story that began after I found the genre and devoured books from the likes of Tao Wong, JF Brink, Tom Larcombe and Noret Flood. Here you will find a version that incorporates video game as well as tabletop RPG elements.

Additionally, I had in mind the classic dungeon crawling D&D adventures I enjoyed when I was younger, so it is written with that type of nostalgia in mind. It deviates from a lot of stories like it in that the main character is OP for a reason but not God-like. For me the real story is in the relationships with the rest of the characters and watching them all learn, grow and become kind of like a classic adventuring group.

I added the traumatising content tag because I am unsure of what may trigger people. There is death, dismemberment and people in danger from other people, but I will never write a rape scene or go into horror levels of graphic detail when it is human on human drama.

Also keep in mind that I am not a trained writer, but I know how to tell a story. Please be kind in your review as I am still learning.
