Ever since the apocalypse interrupted his vacation in New York City, life hasn't been the same for Jason Lee. One moment he was a tourist in Times Square, and the next he was living in a real-life, live-streamed role-playing game, fighting for survival—and the fate of humanity.
Now, gifted with godlike power and abilities, Jason races through rifts, battling monsters and finding treasure, all with a live—and very vocal—audience watching his every move. It's a lot to process. But he's not the only one struggling to adjust to this strange new world . . .
When he returns to New York, Jason finds a city working to rebuild itself. He also meets Mr. Wang, an enigmatic entrepreneur who proposes a business partnership putting Jason's skills as a hero to work clearing out dungeons that have appeared in some rather inconvenient places.
If it's Jason's destiny to combat evil, he might as well get handsomely paid, right?"

Jason Lee came to New York City to see the sights. But his plans quickly change when the Apocalypse Protocol is initiated. Rifts open across the Earth, unleashing hordes of monsters upon humanity. But gateways to dungeons also appear and, with them, opportunity.
Finally, there's a system announcement: some individuals will be bestowed with powers and abilities to combat the monsters and protect their fellow humans. And when a dungeon materializes in Times Square, causing gargoyles to attack the streets of Manhattan, Jason discovers he's one of the Awakened—and he's live streaming to a global audience!
Now, viewers cheer Jason on as he competes in a high-stakes battle for survival. The more he fights, the more he can level up and adapt.

He embodies humanity's best hope to overcome the catastrophe known as System Fall and to challenge the [Admin]. This is more than a fight for survival.

Can Nick surpass the limits of being human, outmaneuver his enemies, defy the [Admin], and carve a new path for humanity?"
