Summary and tags will be updated as the story progresses:

What's more complicated than your world being taken over by a game-like system devised by a sociopathic nerd, hell-bent on destroying everything as you know it?

A system that's still a work in progress.

Victoria Gale is a bit down on her luck, doing what she can to enter the workforce after college. A system apocalypse throws a wrench into those plans. But with every calamity, opportunity waits. Can she protect her friends from the oncoming apocalypse, and carve out a piece of the new world for herself and those she cares about? Join her as she faces off against a system that shifts and changes around her, forcing her to brace for each patch coming, all the while combating monsters, evil gods, homicidal dictators, LARPers, traps (both kinds), and the occasional errant hero bent on smashing pots.

This is a rewrite of Ideascape: An Adventure LitRPG, reimagined with better characters, world-building, and story.

What to Expect:

A smart-ish lead. She can make mistakes, and certainly isn't infallible, but tends to stay on the right track.

Fights. Combat is fun to write, so... there it is.

Side Characters. There are a lot of people in the world, and Vic is just one of them. The world will move on without her to guide it.

Fun Character Archetypes. They'll pop up every once in a while. You'll know em' when you see em'.

What NOT to expect:

Slice of Life. Yep, things are actually going to happen, and those things will matter to the plot.

Grimdark.

Sex Scenes.
