Synopsis

An action-packed new LitRPG apocalypse perfect for fans of The Primal Hunter, Hell Difficulty Tutorial, and 1% Lifesteal.

The System warned them. The world panicked. Alex prepared.
In college for a degree he didn’t care about, the promise of the System creating a world where magic and challenge awaited—even at the risk of death—was the best news Alex possibly could have imagined.

Yeah, Alex was ready for a new life. He wasn’t, however, ready for his only friend to shove him through a portal into hell the moment the apocalypse started.

Instead of getting to hunt rabbits and farm wolves to start out, Alex finds himself stranded in a warped world where everything, including the bugs, is stronger than he is. Even with a Summoner Class that gains the powers of its monsters, most people would have died.

Alex didn’t get the memo. He loves the challenge. Where others might have seen certain death, he finds something

Opportunity.

Don’t miss the start of this action-packed LitRPG Apocalypse series by Actus, bestselling author of Return of the Runebound Professor and Rise of the Living Forge. It’s perfect for fans of The Primal Hunter, Hell Difficulty Tutorial, and 1% Lifesteal.

The Legend of Randidly Ghosthound 5

★ 4.34

Noret Flood

Randidly Ghosthound built a Class with his own hands.

But although he may now Level and rapidly earn rare Skills, the System isn't done with him yet.

As the final hurdle to becoming accepted by the System, Randidly must lead a group of Zone 32's best into the Raid Dungeon and complete the assigned Quests. And what starts as a simple horde survival mission becomes complicated when the Creature begins meddling again with his Fate.

Yet as it turns out, not all threats to humanity are alien ones. Because in other Zones, stand-out heroes like Randidly Ghosthound don't exist to curtail humanity's darker impulses. In the divided remnants of the country's capital, some powerful figures have taken a few sips of the power offered by the System and like the taste.

And they'll experiment on the bodies of the poor and forgettable to find out how they can wield the power of monsters for themselves.

I've managed to survive my first week in Euphoria Online. But I couldn't have done it without my new friends. Lotharia. Falkon. The Green Liver goblins.

But now Lotharia's gone missing. Swallowed by that nightmare keep. Lost to the darkness.

Everyone's telling me that going after her is madness. That I don't have a chance in hell.

But I'm not the kind of guy to turn my back on my friends.

Damn the odds.

I'm going to find her.

Towers of Heaven

★ 4.22

Cameron Milan

One day, six towers appear on Earth. Each one stands hundreds of stories tall, and are invulnerable to all attacks. At the base of each tower is a portal, welcoming in all who dare enter it.

All sorts of magical monsters can be found inside the towers. Even treasure, magic and superhuman strength can be acquired. The problem is that the towers aren't a friendly place. Even worse, the towers sometimes release waves of monsters to attack Earth.

In the year 2083, there are only a hundred survivors. In one last attempt, they challenge the final floor without regard for their lives. By some miracle, they manage to beat the floor at the cost of their lives, leaving only one survivor.

As a reward for clearing the tower, he is granted one wish. He decides to go back in time to before the towers arrived. His goal is simple: prevent humanity from being wiped out.

System Return

★ 4.45

Tom Larcombe

After the discovery that the encampment outside of his Safe Zone is full of friendlies, Marc and his group finally have a chance to try to grow stronger again. The addition of an administrator for the Safe Zone as well as someone to coordinate its defenses finally allows Marc to feel like he can go out and do other things. With the number of survivors they're finding in the immediate area rapidly dwindling, they choose to go farther afield, working on gaining additional resources for the Safe Zone while searching out any remaining survivors they can find. His father reported passing other Safe Zones on his way back to town so Marc decides some investigation is in order. What he intends is to salvage the ruins of a destroyed Safe Zone his father spotted and offer trade and cordial relations to the surviving one that's closer by. What occurs is not what he intended or expected. With the possibility of a technology upgrade for his Safe Zone, what appears to be a community of some sort of elves a few miles south of the Safe Zone, and the sneaking suspicion that the System itself is merely a tool for someone, or something, else, Marc isn't quite as free to just do what he wants.

Perv or Paladin

★ 3.49

Andrew Karevik

Today is the day that I, Luciano Fjorborn, First Paladin of Berella, go out into Yurnip County to push back the forces of darkness with a few vigorous thrusts of my mighty lance! Who’s Berella? Why, she’s the goddess of love, tenderness and hot rumpy-pumpy, of course! As her loyal servant, it is my mission to go out of my cloister and show the world Berella’s divine love. Repeatedly. And in multiple positions!

But it’s a cruel world out there, especially for a Paladin who doesn’t believe in violence (unless it’s consensual and proper headgear is involved.) So I’m going to need as many hands on deck to ensure we can get the job done properly! No, wait, I said, ‘Deck. Deck!’

Come on, don’t call me a perv! I’m a holy warrior from a totally legit religion! Just give me a chance to show you Berella’s glory! No! Not like that! Officer, wait, let me explain!

Your Diplomacy skill has failed! Next time, try opening with a compliment on her hair, you weirdo.

Content warning: Profanity? Check. Intimate relationships with scenes hot enough to cook a turkey? Check. Good and bad jokes? Check, please! Finally, an ecumenical sexy comedy that’ll be fun, unless you’re an old fogy.
