Flux Core [A System Apocalypse LitRPG Adventure]

Reid's birthday gift from the universe? Earth awakening as part of a planetary lottery put on by the system. This awakening turns animals into beasts, gives regular humans skills and powers, and sets off a series of events that will allow Earth to adapt and grow - or fail and die. Reid, separated from his family, must fight and win amidst the challenges of the new world. Reid is an outlier in more ways than one - and gets saddled with an initially less-than-helpful system shackle. His unlikely and atypical journey will neither be simple nor easy. Reid will reach for power and freedom, struggling with forces and implications far beyond himself.  What to expect: • System-based things like stats, skills, levels, and grades  • A reasonably-sized cast of characters, some more important than others *wink* • Central focus is on the MC's experience, with plenty of other character's POV for extra flavor • Science in the fiction - a bit of real-world knowledge in the new universal rules of awakened space • Power, fights, and painful progression • A slow-fast journey into a larger universe (a ways into the book) • Big entities with motives much larger than the MC (a ways into the book) • An MC that often fights alone, but grows with a set of companions (a ways into the book) Schedule: 3x chapters per week (Mon, Wed, Fri) Chapters ~2k words each.
