On currents of magic, the System arrived. Monsters followed. Forty days until the first invasion. No pressure. Andy wanted a quiet life—just his trailer, the Sonoran desert, and a job that didn’t ask much of him. Instead, he got a front-row seat to Tucson’s collapse. Magic rewrote the rules. Monsters stalked the streets. People mutated—or died. He didn’t plan to be a hero. But when the screaming started, Andy grabbed a broken broomstick and did what he does best: survive. Now he’s got more than his own skin to worry about—kids looking to him for protection, neighbors turning to him for leadership, and a trailer park slowly transforming into a fortress. The System’s leveling him up—but not fast enough. Because the countdown’s ticking, the invasions are coming, and if Andy fails, everyone he’s begun to care about will be slaughtered. A progression fantasy about found family, desperate courage, and carving hope out of chaos. Note to Victor of Tucson fans: Aside from being set in the Tucson area, this story is not related to that series, but if you like VoT, I think you’ll enjoy it. :) New chapters every day until I catch up to backlog, then there will be 3 a week.
