When the apocalypse turns Earth into a battlefield, Alex Winser gets the one power no sane person would choose: becoming the target.
Alex was supposed to be taking the final physical test to become a firefighter. Nice, simple, terrifying in a normal way.
Instead, a subway crash drops him into the first wave of the System apocalypse—trapped underground with civilians, monsters, and no working emergency exit. Because apparently the universe looked at his career plans and said, cute.
Then the System offers him a class.
Not a swordsman.
Not a mage.
Not some chosen-one damage dealer with glowing hair and excellent cheekbones.
A tank.
But not the shield-and-armor kind.
Alex becomes a gravity tank: a walking anchor who can bend mass, hold the line against impossible force, and drag every hostile eye on the battlefield straight toward him. His enemies want the weak, the wounded, and the terrified.
Alex makes them want him more.
Fortunately, getting attention has never been Alex’s problem. Armed with bad jokes, worse timing, and a mouth that considers survival optional, he can make monsters furious, allies groan, and enemies regret having ears.
With a growing group of survivors depending on him, Alex has to hold the line against monster swarms, alien warclans, and rival claimant races carving Earth into conquered territory. Every level makes him harder to move. Every fight teaches the enemy how to kill him better. And every time the horde comes for his people, Alex steps forward, opens his mouth, and makes himself everyone’s problem.
Because sometimes the only way to save everyone…
is to become the thing every monster hates most.
Perfect for fans of System apocalypse, progression fantasy, tank protagonists, found-family survival, crunchy LitRPG mechanics, gravity powers, sarcastic heroes, and bad decisions made with heroic intent.
Genre: Science Fiction
