Summary

Alone. Surrounded by monsters. Armed only with his fists... Time to fight.

Jack Rust was a disillusioned biologist with a PhD—almost. When an extraterrestrial AI calling itself the System invaded Earth and thrust it into a world of aliens, magic, and violence, Jack hoped to at least get some magic himself.

Nope.

Even worse, the System spawned a forest dungeon around him and a goblin in his face....

Armed with nothing but his fists, Jack must grow strong enough to survive hordes of monsters. He needs to return to civilization and find out what the heck is going on. He might even get magic—or not. Surprising himself, Jack discovers that violence is fun.

In this battle-ridden new world, Jack finds the life he always dreamed about. He won’t just survive. He will thrive.

Don't miss the start of this action-packed new LitRPG Apocalypse series from Valerios. Join Jack the brawler as he pummels everything that gets in his way with his fists on his road to mastery and power. It's perfect for fans of Primal Hunter, Defiance of the Fall, and lovers of all things progression fantasy and LitRPG.

Really great story one bit would make it better

The time frame all this happens is too quick like 3 days for dungeon and in one month tournament that is a bit of a reach. I would have liked to see the time frame extended

Beware the monkey

Enjoyable book, look forward to sequel.
Good character building and supporting monkey, I’m sure he’ll be the MC in the sequel 😀.

Can't wait for another

Great book filled with actual content instead of just padding. This could easily have been multiple books, but im so glad it wasn't.

I've been falling out of love with the genre whilst I wait for my favourites to release their next in the series, but im glad I had to free space to pick this up and listen to Jack's adventure.

I need to know if he ever gets his PHD!

Great book

Good writing, good narration, good value for money, funny but not too funny when things need to be serious. Loved it!

Seriously silly, well worth it!

I really enjoyed this. The main character starts off really relatable and the situations he finds himself in a weird and wonderful.

It’s more Kung Pow than Shakespeare, and I had great fun along the way!

Good story, enjoyed overall

Enjoyed the story, slightly lacking in depth vs some other books I’ve read but pace and action were both good. Another 34 hours for book 2 so let’s see where that one goes!
