For Hiro Johnson, survival has become a full-time job... When the Doom System descended on Earth without warning, it shattered reality, plunging humanity into a deadly LitRPG nightmare. Suddenly, everyone had superpowers, but at a brutal cost. Reality itself was rewritten, and survival became a game no one knew how to win. Now, the Doom System has locked its sights on Hiro and the last survivors, pulling them into a competition that demands more with each trial. Hiro isn’t powerful enough to take down the system. Not yet. But he can level up, outsmart its twisted nightmares, and uncover the key to breaking free. Because if he fails, it’s not just his life at stake—it’s the last chance to save everything that remains of the world he once knew... ---- Expectations: - Post-Apoc LitRPG with prog fantasy elements- Hallucinatory system as the story progresses- Weak to strong MC with a mysterious past- Every day objects as weapons (like a vape pen)- Uncommon spells (like Instant Discount Ozempic)- Fast paced story & action pacing- No Harem Inspired by: - Squid Games, The 8 Show- Alice in Borderlands (but with monsters!)- Dungeon Crawler Carl, Dawn of the Void, The Primal Hunter- My S-Class Hunters, Solo Leveling- Dark Souls III and Elden Ring ---- Book One is FINISHED and available for pre-order on Amazon.Book Two is finished and available to read here on Royal Road.HIATUS - I'm taking a hiatus from Doom System Survivor while I finish other projects.
