In a shattered world ravaged by the zombie apocalypse, daily survival has become a brutal nightmare. But for Jake, a die-hard fan of fantasy light novels and tabletop RPGs, the nightmare is an opportunity to live out his wildest geek dreams. Refusing to surrender to despair, he founds a guild – not of warriors and mages, but of survivors, using the rules and tropes of his beloved genres as an unconventional survival guide.

As the self-appointed Guild Master, Jake introduces a radical system of quests, levels, and character classes, all designed to gamify the harsh realities of the apocalypse and inject some much-needed fun into the bleak existence. His methods are unorthodox, but as hopelessness grips the city, his guild offers a glimmer of light. From scavenging missions treated as epic loot quests to assigning classes based on real skills, Jake's approach transforms mere survival into an all-consuming game with life and death as the ultimate stakes.

Can Jake's unconventional strategies keep his guildmates alive, or will the harsh reality of the apocalypse prove too much for his game-inspired defenses?
