Please Note! Battleforged Books 2 and 3 will coming down at the end of September!

If you've been thinking about giving it a read, now's the perfect time! book 2 will be moving to Kindle Unlimited in October (if everything works out!), where KU readers can read it for free! If you've enjoyed reading the series and would do me the courtesy of a review, I'd be extremely grateful! - A big thanks to everyone whose left kind words and great feedback in the comments! I hope you all continue to enjoy the story as I continue to write fresh chapters for what I hope will be years to come!

To do list for the post apocalypse:

1. Survive the orcs rampaging through your city.

2. Survive the pod trying to steal your mind.

3. Pull off the greatest heist of all time.

It still amazed Eric how much the world's end mirrored the movie his obsessed mother had put into production… set to release just three days after the Apocalypse.

Only problem was, in the real world there were no chosen ones destined to fight the beast hordes now slaughtering countless millions in every major city on Earth.

But humanity wasn't completely helpless.

You really could level up in this brave new world, and embrace magic, peril, and limitless power!

So long as you didn't mind a 90% mortality rate in alien vegetative pods as happy to turn you into topsoil as give you any shot at mastering a System designed to benefit elite invaders. Not fragile humans just trying to survive.

But Eric was all about beating the odds…

Even if it killed him.

Author's Note - I plan in releasing 1 chapter a day for the first thirty days. I will then be posting at least 3 times a week. This story is for anyone who enjoys slow-rise-to-power story arcs!

Our hero will start out humbled and desperate, struggling just to survive. And slowly, with time, diligence, and training his butt off, he'll evolve into a powerhouse that will force even his enemies to treat him with respect.

And nothing beats the post-apocalyptic blues like stealing an absolute fortune in gold, right out from under the noses of everyone trying to kill you!

Enough gold to live like a king… or start a city of your own!

Schedule Update: I plan on releasing 3 chapters a week every Monday / Wednesday / Friday Please enjoy!
