I died minutes into the alien apocalypse. Pathetic, right? But I got a second chance to fight for my life when the aliens resurrected me as a 46-inch-tall terracotta garden gnome. All I had left in the world are my friends, and I would do anything I could to keep them alive. Follow along as we grind and fight monsters, level up, scavenge for food, and try and learn the rules of the aliens’ twisted game. A Post-Apocalyptic LitRPG Horror Comedy … with gnome jokes. Here is what you can expect from this story: * Fighting monsters of all kinds * Close-knit friends * No harem romance * Gnome jokes
