Synopsis

Derrick Miller is a survivalist with military and law enforcement experience when the world shatters. As the System descends, granting strange abilities and monstrous threats, he’s stranded miles from home. His only goal: reach his family before the chaos consumes them. The new rules of reality demand adaptation—leveling skills, scavenging supplies, and fortifying defenses. Zombies stalk the wasteland, but the true danger lies in the ruthless survivors exploiting the collapse. Once reunited, Derrick must carve out a sanctuary where his loved ones can endure the apocalypse’s relentless tide. Survival means more than hoarding resources; it means building a bastion against the horrors outside. But as the System’s initialization unfolds, one question haunts him: can a hardened prepper outlast a world rewriting itself into nightmare?
