Shaper of Metal Post-Apoc Progression LitRPG

*** Amazon, Kindle Unlimited, & Audible available HERE! *** Monsters overrun Earth like a plague, and System powers for a chosen few aren't enough to take it back. Humanity needs more. As a former military transport pilot, Jack Laker once met the terrors on the borders and survived the impossible. A few years later, Jack bumps into a strange, alien woman on the run from some goons, and predictably gets himself in over his head. But the power within the alien, and the clandestine access she heralds, will change everything. Ushered into a whole new world of powers, government super-agents, and shifty avatars, Jack is in for one hell of an adventure he didn't sign up for, but is determined to finish. Meta pitch: Intimate, slow-burn evolution of an average Joe into a badass, in a world where monsters plaguing the Earth need to die. Put on the jacket and get to work for humanity, son — we're behind schedule. Expect: — Powers choices/tinkering/training, step by step — Slice of life, deep characterization — Unique setting of a surviving, functional, Post-Apoc civilization  — System as an enhancer++ to reality, not a replacement, not omnipotent — Octogirl Inspired by such works as Super Supportive, Worm, Industrial Strength Magic, and old Marvel Comics such as The Uncanny X-Men (favorite: Magneto). Not campy or forcing in tropes. You don't need to know any of these to enjoy it. Focused on progression and powerhouse team-fighting in the long term. Won't ignore living life and getting to know people. No smut or 'harem' stylings, but attractive people exist and sexuality isn't neutered. The first four chapters are oversized 5k+ on average, and beyond this, they'll be 3k+, aiming for 3200 - 3500 with some exceptions. Posting on Thursdays plus some Mondays in a month. Discord Link
