As a martial arts instructor, Nori has always had a simple purpose in life: Help underprivileged kids build confidence and self-discipline. Now she'll have to do so for everyone else, too. It all started with a mist, one that gave everyone stats and levels, but also disabled technology and transformed animals and humans into cybernetic horrors that preyed on the living. Within months of its inception, civilization had crumbled.

My name is Killian Dunn. I'm eighteen, a high school senior, a gamer, and, oh yeah, the Harbinger of the Apocalypse. Not exactly what I had in mind as a career path. Reality took a nosedive when Armageddon came knocking. It brought with it classes, levels, and skills, as well as a horde of Lovecraftian abominations to use them on. I never wanted any of this, but the sick god who orchestrated this whole nightmare has my family. Their lives are forfeit if I refuse to play his game. The prize? A wish. With it, I can protect my family, fix everything that's broken, and save the world.

An AI calling itself Schema has assimilated Earth into its System. As a consequence, everyone gained access to status screens, power-ups, and skills. This AI turned these concepts from fiction to fact. It's easy to become intoxicated with leveling up and becoming stronger. To some, it's too good to be true, like living out a dream. For Daniel, however, it's closer to a nightmare.

Great start to what could be a brilliant story!
I love a story with a solid fleshed out party and this did not disappoint even the random encounters had more context than most stories do.Narration was done really well.The action scenes were easy to visualise and god the humour in the party’s chatter was brilliant only niggling bit i found was a few audio errors where lines were repeated but all in all i loved it and will be looking out for book 2.

I want to like this but
The starting characters are way over blown characterization. Some get more fleshed out as it moves along but not really. It feels forced. There are times when people who are not with the group but are back in the parking garage are suddenly there and talking like they did not stay behind. Timer detonator suddenly became a remote control detonator. As for the voice work it was good. However the edits were really really bad. Sometimes you will get a line more than once. This happened a few times. It feels like a B movie script with B level production value but fun voice work.

KU and Audiobook Review
Due to health and other life issues finishing this book took me much longer than it should have so instead of finishing it up and reviewing it within a few days of release at most like I wish I could have here we are 2 weeks later. I ended up splitting it about 50/50 between reading and listening to the audio-book. I personally enjoyed this book, the system reminds me loosely of Genshin Impact and other Gacha games where you combine items (in this case cards) to increase levels and ranks of equipment though the rules in this are a little loose, so while I do recommend this to system apocalypse fans I withhold that recommendation if you don't like the Gacha equipment system (even if there are no character pulls). The characters don't really have a ton of time for growth with things going on back to back so they each come off their own type of extreme or stereo-types of daytime soap operas. Some of the skill choices may confuse or put people off but I'm pretty sure they were picked with book 2 and whatever the eventual end game is in mind by the author(s) and they make more sense in the last few minutes of the book. That being said for the most part the characters have unique skill sets in comparison to the rest of the genre. As far as audio-book narration goes Daniel Wisniewski and Elizabeth Plant did a fantastic job of distinguishing the characters, there are enough characters that might make distinguishing them difficult in text but their performance did that amazingly well, especially Lucy, where does one go to meet a girl like Lucy? Plot aside, if you enjoy or don't enjoy any of the particular mechanics I listed above you should be able to tell if this book is for you. I look forward to the next one.

some errors and bad start but good
the narration was great. There were some editing errors, such as rereading lines, but that's fine with me. the beginning seems a little too calm about extreme parts, such as a shot of nervous or adrenaline over taking them, which could be used as an excuse for the behavior

Would of been a 5 star….
This story is great but the women are just horrible people. When Lucy was about to die I got happy that I wouldn’t have to hear her character anymore. Sadly she was saved at the last moment and I had to keep dealing with her. Overall the story is good the women are not normal people but the men seem well adjusted to being in their late 20’s. Would of been a easy 5 star if it wasn’t for the annoyance.

This book was that good.
