AI Apocalypse: Reforged
(2026)(The fourth book in the AI Apocalpyse: Restart series)
A novel by J David Baxter
Liam is close to the peak of mortal power—but the final steps may be the deadliest yet.
To reach Level Cap, he must conquer the largest dungeon he has ever faced: a sprawling necropolis stronghold ruled by a ruthless Necromancer Lich and its fanatically loyal undead elite. Entire city districts lie trapped beneath the dungeon’s shadow, their survivors hunted by monsters that cannot be reasoned with or outrun. Liam’s goal is simple. Secure the dungeon. Create Safe Zones. Save as many people as he can before the stronghold breaks, spilling high-level monsters across an already fragile city.
Beyond it lies Ascension—a brutal trial meant to push mortals past their limits and grant the beginnings of god-like System authority. As Liam enters the trials, Morgan, Viki, and a small group of other Ascension hopefuls are left behind to defend the city, rescue survivors, and grow stronger in his absence.
Reforged is a turning point in the AI Apocalypse series. A battle for a city. A fight for humanity’s future. And the moment where survival gives way to something far more dangerous: authority. Because power alone won’t be enough.
When mortals reach their limits, only those willing to be reforged can rise beyond them.
Perfect for readers who enjoy Apocalypse Restart by Michael Chatfield, The System Apocalypse by Tao Wong, and The Land by Aleron Kong.
