John was a pretty easy going kind of a guy. Work from home desk job. Single dad to a precocious but overall tolerable daughter. Doing ok for himself in most ways by the standards of the old world. Then the System arrived.
The everyday world he's known for decades has changed so he must change as well. He will need friends and allies to help keep himself and his daughter safe. He has to find ways to synergise his teleportation power with the abilities of the rest of his team as they fight off waves of monsters. All of this just to survive the introduction of the System to an Earth that isn't ready for it. What comes after that is anyone's guess.
No more same-as-yesterday. No more doom-prepping. No more living as a shut-in. It's time to go out and embrace his new power and the apocalypse that has been forced upon him.
What to expect:
Fleshed out side characters, a humorous tone but with plenty of action and more serious sections.
Starts as a system apocalypse survival story before moving into rebuilding civilisation, after that the MC and his team shift into the role of semi-itinerant superheroes in the new world that emerges.
Numbers will go up (a lot!) but it's primarily a story about people and eventually learning to use their powers inventively becomes as important as levelling.
