Book 1 CompleteBook 2: Starting 8/7/2026 Sometimes it’s the villain who has to be the hero. As Dungeons begin to open across Earth, Adam Pierce survives by facing blood, brutality, and murder, and he walks out of the Tutorial as the disciple of 'Death' itself. When it's discovered that these Dungeons are handing immense power to anyone ruthless enough to take it, Adam sees the catastrophe before anyone else. Humanity is greedy and weak. Without something to unite the species, it will kill itself. So Adam decides he will unite the world himself, by becoming the Villain of the System Apocalypse. It means he is hated, but also that humanity thrives while he wades through betrayal and murder. Because another, more powerful threat is coming. For the “System”, the Dungeons are only the opening move. Something far worse is on its way, and Earth will need to be ready. Adam will have to save humanity, all while being the villain that everyone wants dead.What to Expect:- Dungeon Portal Apocalypse (like Solo-Leveling, or Kill the Hero)- OP MC with Cheat-level Class/Ability- Anti-Hero/Villain MC (Like Code Geass)- Dungeon Dives, Secret Identities, Betrayal and Murder- No Harem, Very minimal/if any RomanceDaily Chapter Drops for the first month of release, then M/W/F Schedule2k- 3k word Chapters Shoutout to LitRPG Books FB Group for being awesome.
