Andy in the Apocalypse
Plum Parrot
Forty days until the first System invasion. Andy wanted a quiet life — just his trailer, the Sonoran desert, and a job that didn't ask much of him. Instead, magic rewrote the rules, monsters stalked the streets, and people mutated or died. When the screaming started, Andy grabbed a broken broomstick and did what he does best: survive. Now with kids and neighbors looking to him for protection, he must navigate the apocalyptic LitRPG System that has transformed Tucson into a deadly proving ground. An action-packed apocalyptic LitRPG perfect for fans of Dungeon Crawler Carl, Discount Dan, and The Primal Hunter, blending found family, desperate courage, and carving hope out of chaos.
