by The Kahn
When Jack steps outside with his dog one morning, he accidentally becomes the first person on Earth to accept the “Survive” quest, the start of a system-driven merger of three planets that nobody asked for. He has one dog, no car, and a family stranded a thousand miles away. While the rest of humanity argues about who's in charge of the apocalypse, Jack just wants to get strong enough to find his family, and get ready to defend against whatever comes next. This Is Totally Normal.
