You’re Screwed (But With Stats!)
The world didn’t end with fire or divine judgment.
It ended with a notification.
When a colossal tower erupts from the equator and monsters begin flooding the planet, time freezes, and a sarcastic, amoral System rolls out stats, skills, and levels like a cosmic joke. Governments collapse. Armies fail. Civilization fractures overnight.
Ruby Fairchild adapts immediately.
A bored genius from an obscenely powerful family, Ruby has never struggled for money, intelligence, or control, only for something worth caring about. That something is Elara Vance: principled, stubborn, painfully honest, and everything Ruby isn’t. As the apocalypse spreads and the System watches with amused detachment, Ruby decides on a single, non-negotiable objective:
Survive.
Grow stronger.
Protect what’s hers.
Joined by Elara and her idealistic younger sister, Ruby dives into a world where monsters roam real cities, leveling is earned through blood, and morality offers no mechanical advantage. While others rush the Tower and die on livestream, Ruby trains, plans, manipulates, and sharpens herself into something far more dangerous than a hero.
Because in a world ruled by stats, towers, and statistical fatality, love isn’t a weakness.
It’s a survival strategy.
