Child of the Ancients: An Apocalypse LitRPG Romance Comedy Action Adventure School Life Martial Arts
It all started in the middle of Dante's nap.
He wanted to sleep his life away, but the system denied his request. Instead, it began to transform the Earth, integrating it into the multiverse by granting everyone stats and skills. He was talented, or so the system thought. And that meant he needed to be challenged. After being sent into a deadly cavern, Dante strives for the future he's always desired. But when he learns about the secrets hidden within him, he's shaken to his very core. He wishes for the nightmare to end until something goes wrong.
[The world will end in one year.]
Instead of everyone receiving a relatively gentle tutorial, the people of Earth are deemed redundant. Dante makes it his goal to save as many people as he can before the world ends, but with billions of lives at stake, he might have to turn into a monster before he can become a hero.
Planned updates (2500+ words): M/W/F. 12pm AEST/ 9am EST. M-F during Writeathon.

Author's Note: All system apocalypse novels seem to jump straight over the apocalypse itself, which I find very sad. I don't want this to turn into a typical fantasy novel in about ten chapters. Instead, I hope to explore the destruction of society and how things would look if superpowers suddenly appeared in the real world. Before the real apocalypse happens, of course.
There will be base building, and likely romance once things settle down. Also dragons, because they are awesome :)
