The only thing harder than surviving the apocalypse is taking a day off.

Nathan Lee is done. The apocalypse's strongest has hit his limit, and he's going to deal with it via
aggressive procrastination. Specifically, he's going to ignore the main quest and catch every
species on floor seven to grind out a class upgrade, the way God intended.

But with the admin dead, the entire circle system is on the verge of implosion. Progression is
locked behind a broken quest chain. One of Nathan's friends is going to be tried as a war
criminal. And the local NPCs are waiting for a prophesied Fisher King who definitely doesn't
match Nathan's description in the slightest.

Despite his best efforts, Nathan gets dragged straight back into the main quest. There's an
unkillable eldritch worm on his tail, the second-strongest is back to put Nathan's head on a pike,
and somehow the only solution is resurrecting the dead admin who sent them into this hellscape
in the first place.

So much for a quiet fishing trip.
