About this story
If you could go back in time to before the apocalypse, what would you do?
Blake thought he was sacrificing his life to defeat the alien overlord. Instead, he somehow finds himself ten years in his past, before Earth is aware of the malicious AI threat heading its way. With a second chance to right past wrongs, he must leverage his in-depth knowledge of the AI’s system and utilize his hard-earned martial skill to accomplish his goals. He must grow strong enough to defend his people, and establish a faction capable of uniting humanity.
Follow Blake as he gains levels, recruits faction members, and expands his base of power. This is a Post Apocalyptic, LitRPG, Regression novel. Except for the occasional interlude, it is told entirely from Blake’s point of view. Town-building features heavily in this story, however, does not begin until he is able to establish his faction. This story does not contain a harem, but will eventually feature minimal romance.
Chapters will release when possible. 1 to 3 per week likely.
Scion of Humanity is published on Royal Road. FicGems only lists the story's details and links to it; the chapters stay on the original site.
