Andy in the Apocalypse

Andy wanted a quiet life—just his trailer, the Sonoran desert, and a job that didn’t ask much of him. Instead, he got a front-row seat to Tucson’s collapse. Magic rewrote the rules. Monsters stalked the streets. People mutated—or died. He didn’t plan to be a hero. But when the screaming started, Andy grabbed a broken broomstick and did what he does best: survive. Now he’s got more than his own skin to worry about—kids looking to him for protection, neighbors turning to him for leadership, and a trailer park slowly transforming into a fortress. The System’s leveling him up—but not fast enough.

Andy's trailer park has a new name now: Mesquite Mesa. It has a council, a wall going up, and more mouths to feed than he ever wanted to be responsible for. The System is pushing him forward—new levels, new powers, new enchantments he barely understands—but every step up feels like another way to fall further. And the System isn't done complicating things. There are dungeons beneath the desert, with monsters that don't care how high his level is. A storm is coming that will remake the mesa into something unrecognizable.
