Kernel
Early one morning, the world ended. The devastating Alpha Event rewrote the very laws of reality itself, transforming peaceful cities and communities into sprawling hellscapes filled with flesh-eating zombies - and worse!
For Daniel, a Zombie Apocalypse couldn’t have happened at a worse time. If he’d been back at the farm, he might have stood a better chance than most. Instead, Daniel woke up in a distant hotel room armed with nothing but a hangover.
To add insult to injury, as he and other survivors shelter for safety in their hotel, Daniel discovers another misfortune. To help guide them through the horrors of this new reality, each suvivor is supposed to have been grafted with an interface - a guide to help them level up, develop their skills, and better understand the world around them.
Daniel’s is broken.
Nevertheless, this new reality has gifted Daniel with other strange, new powers - powers which could enable him to unite what other survivors they can find into a force capable of surviving in this cruel, new world.
Kernal is the first book in the Broken Interface series, set in Alex Kozlowski’s Alpha Physics Universe - described by readers as “a breath of fresh air” in the LitRPG genre, with stories that are “human, thought out, and realistic.”
Style. Single third person POV, LITRPG, with gore, adult themes but no explicit sexual content.
Warning. There will be a cute pet.

Alex Kozlowski
Alex Kozlowski’s path to becoming a writer wasn’t a typical one, but perhaps that’s why his stories stand out in the world of LitRPG. Born with an analytical mind, Alex started his academic journey pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Physics on a scholarship. While his love for numbers, equations, and problem-solving fueled a career in banking, his creative side always simmered beneath the surface, waiting for the right moment to emerge.
That moment came during the global pandemic, which pushed Alex to finally reconnect with his passion for writing. As the world outside became uncertain, he turned inward, diving into the immersive worlds of LitRPG books. The genre's unique blend of gaming elements and narrative intrigue felt like the perfect outlet for his creative energy. Inspired by the virtual landscapes of World of Warcraft, Skyrim, and Fallout, Alex began weaving stories that transport readers into worlds where the rules of the game collide with the emotional depth of character development.
Broken Interface
Broken Interface consists of two books and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
