Reinitializing the Apocalypse

System Reset Book 1

By Timothy McGowen

An action-packed Apocalyptic LitRPG perfect for fans of Dungeon Crawler Carl and The Primal Hunter!

The System left him for dead without a class. Their mistake.


During the first Apocalypse, the System Lords forgot one tiny detail—they left William Ward out. While everyone else got classes and powers, he kept doing what he does best: working in the shadows as a legendary hitman.

When he finally retires, living quietly with his disabled dog Max, the System Lords decide to meddle again. After turning Earth into a complete hellhole, they hit reset on the Apocalypse, only this time, William is added to the System.

As some half-baked apology, he’s given a fancy AI assistant, a pile of System credits, and a new class: Arcane Gunslinger. Oh, and they threw in a robotic arm and leg, plus healed Max’s back legs.

Perks that almost make William forgive them.

That is, until they open a freaking portal and unload countless souped-up goblins in System-upgraded gear onto his front lawn.

Time to grab his bat, load up his Ruger .357 Magnum, and take the System for all it’s worth. The System Lords are about to regret ever remembering the name William Ward.

Jump into a new LitRPG Apocalypse Series from Timothy McGowen, the bestselling author of Arcane Knight and Path of the Titans. It’s perfect for fans of Dungeon Crawler Carl, The Primal Hunter, and The System Apocalypse.
