Choose Your Apocalypse (A LitRPG Apocalypse, Progression, System Fantasy) [CYA]

Note: This is not a "Choose Your Own Adventure" product, nor is it a reader participation fiction. What to expect through the series: -Slice of life feel and pacing -Slow build -Consistent, complex characters, delved over time -Focus on coherent, deep worldbuilding  Blurb: ‘A Rounding Error has Occurred. Please Choose Your Apocalypse as Compensation.’ Choose Your Apocalypse: Apology Tutorial throws Alex Johnson—a home-based IT worker—into a brutal, LitRPG Apocalypse. Now, Alex gets to design his end-of-days. Like choosing wallpaper for his own personal inferno. Joy… Enemies? Skill tree? Potentially helpful or annoying sidekicks? All (semi-)customizable! Or, he could go it alone, which, let's be honest, probably won't end well. Of course, because the universe is cruel and capricious, there are hidden forces at play. Uninvited and unwelcome, they seek to control his fate. So, Alex is going to be fighting uphill, against the odds—and probably some interdimensional middle managers—from the word "go". Wish him luck, because he’s going to need it. This fiction contains violence and tense situations. It will reference adult topics but will not contain sex scenes nor overt delves into 'sex/sexuality after the fall.' It will not contain MC romance anytime soon, if ever. I have roughly plotted the first three books and expect there to be many more. I do hope you enjoy this tale, but let me know what you think either way! Critique, both positive and negative, is welcome. Release schedule is weekly: Tues & Thurs Average Chapter Length: 2,000 - 2,500 words, biased high Thank you for your time and for giving this story a try. Cover Image by: Liam T. Mitchell
