After barely defeating his most powerful opponent yet, Jaco is flung immediately into the aftermath of that bloody duel.

Now permanently affected by the Infernal State and being granted the Devil’s Essence, he must learn to navigate having such energy within him. Both for how the powers of Hell itself affect those originally given to him by Heaven’s System, and what that means for him moving forward.

Yet the Apocalypse waits for nobody, and neither do the Chosen Few as they make their own preparations from the darkest corners of the ruined city. By being outside of the city itself, the largest camp of survivors has enjoyed relative peace so far. But for how much longer will that last?

Book 2 of this new Apocalyptic System LitRPG by V.A. Lewis, bestselling author of Salvos and Amelia The Level Zero Hero, writing together with D. Pidge. Featuring loads of action, a detailed system, power progression, Druid abilities, and so much more!

It's perfect for fans of System Apocalypse, Apocalypse Redux, and Primal Hunter!

Advent of the Apocalypse

The series

Full series details →

When the world as we know it fractures, survival is no longer instinct, it is a calculation. Advent of the Apocalypse plunges readers into a reality transformed by sudden, system-driven chaos, where every decision carries weight and every choice reshapes who survives and who falls behind. In this darkly immersive progression fantasy, ordinary people are forced to confront extraordinary rules, leveling, skills, and powers that turn familiar streets into arenas of strategy and survival.

Read full series description

The story follows a protagonist thrust into this new world unprepared, navigating threats both immediate and insidious, learning to exploit the mechanics of the apocalypse while discovering the limits of human resilience. As the narrative unfolds, what begins as a desperate struggle for survival evolves into a deeper exploration of power, morality, and ambition. Alliances form and shatter, rivals emerge, and the line between friend and foe blurs under the pressure of a universe governed by rules that no one fully understands.

What sets the series apart is its meticulous world-building and the way it weaves system mechanics seamlessly into character growth. Each encounter, each challenge, is more than an obstacle, it is a reflection of how the new world forces people to adapt, strategize, and evolve. The tension is constant, the stakes ever-escalating, yet the story never loses sight of the human element at its core, fear, ingenuity, and the drive to survive.

Though it occupies a niche within LitRPG and apocalyptic fantasy circles, it has steadily built a dedicated readership, praised for balancing tactical progression with narrative depth. For readers who crave a dark, intelligent, and immersive survival saga where the apocalypse is not just an event but a living system, this series offers a compelling journey into a world remade by rules and the people who learn to bend them.
