When the System descended upon Earth, humanity was given a simple choice: adapt, grow stronger or die. Allister Thorne never expected to stand between humanity and extinction but after awakening to the System and being infected by Chaos he may be the only choice humanity has. What begins as a small dungeon sanctuary under an abandoned mine soon becomes something far more dangerous. With a strange collection of allies by his side; including a sharp tongue fairy, a boisterous Dwarf and his faithful bond Mara, Allister builds something the System never intended to exist, a sanctuary touched by Chaos. Soon Alister will have to balance three dangerous paths on his way to becoming stronger while protecting the people who placed their trust in him, while discovering exactly what the Chaos inside him is capable of. The System may have brought the apocalypse to Earth. But it didn't account for Alister Thorne.
