Anthem of Infinity
Blaise Corvin & Outspan Foster
Two years after the Shift, when most technology stopped working and the laws of physics changed, humanity has been brought to its knees. Survivor Noah Henson navigates lawless post-apocalypse America amid rumors of the predatory alien Aelves. A year later he patrols the eastern United States with his elite group, the Merriweathers, helping new communities rebuild from the ashes of civilization while hunting humanity's enemies and uncovering threats worse than the Aelves.
Progression: GameLit/LitRPG apocalypse with XP-driven advancement central to survival and power growth. The post-Shift world runs on game-like elements: the Goodreads book pages are community-categorized as LitRPG/GameLit (34 LitRPG and 18 GameLit on-page mentions) with explicit XP (26 mentions), levels, classes, stats and quests. Co-author Blaise Corvin self-identifies as a GameLit/LitRPG writer (Delvers LLC is GameLit; Secret of the Old Ones is hard LitRPG with XP and leveling). Noah's progression from guilt-ridden survivor to hardened community protector tracks quantified power growth against the alien Aelves.
