In 365 days only the top-rated 1% will survive.

Logan was trying to kick back with a couple of beers on his dock when the System Integration transformed his world. The planet may as well have turned into a sci-fi movie, giving him powers, levels, and impossible messages. To top it off, the entity known as 'the System' has deemed humanity a plague and a threat to the rest of the species on Earth.

On the first day, the entity blows up all the gas-powered cars. On the second day, it vaporizes the planes. Each day, the dissolution of society gets worse, not to mention the mutated monsters intent on killing everything in their path. The System wants Logan to advance and grow, and in 365 days only the top-rated 1% will survive.

Logan could accept what he's being told at face value and go along with the flow, but he wants to be something else. Despite the System testing him by labelling him an idiot, he's worked out how to manipulate his new world. He'll use everything at his disposal: baseball bats with nails, cleavers—even a weed wacker. For Logan is good at killing the hell out of shit, and when the System threatens his sister and her kids, he'll show it what an idiot can really do.

About the series: Follow Logan on his quest for power, not for power itself, but to grow strong enough to manipulate a System that's gotten way too good at manipulating the little guy. Balancing humor with the gruesome reality of his situation, Logan will encounter monsters, undead gestating minions, and a precocious octopus who loves kitten-printed swim trunks way too much.
