The good news: Evan Holt has been summoned to another world to become a legendary hero.
The bad news: they summoned the wrong guy.
The worse news?
CLASS ASSIGNED: APOCALYPSE BRINGER.
Evan was supposed to be an Archmage. Instead, the System gave him the same unique class once carried by a man blamed for ending an entire age.
The Church would like him locked away.
The Crown would like to know what went wrong.
A growing cult thinks he should hurry up and destroy civilization.
Evan would mostly like everyone to calm down.
Then he starts leveling—and his class begins granting abilities with names that do absolutely nothing to improve his reputation.
Minor Extinction.
Not ideal.
Plaguebearer.
Somehow worse.
City Breaker.
There goes plausible deniability.
But beneath the terrifying names is a problem nobody expected: Evan’s abilities seem less interested in causing disasters than in ending threats normal magic cannot stop.
Deadly infections.
Ancient magical failures.
Things that should not be inside the world at all.
And as monsters flee west, ancient ruins wake, and something foreign begins spreading through the world’s magic, Evan starts uncovering evidence that the last Apocalypse Bringer’s story may have been badly misunderstood.
Which raises an uncomfortable question.
If Apocalypse Bringers weren’t created to destroy the world...
what were they created to destroy?
For readers who enjoy progression fantasy, LitRPG systems, tactical fights, dangerous powers, sarcastic protagonists, ancient secrets, and heroes whose character sheets are terrible for public relations.
Genre: Fantasy
