Every time Dex thinks he has this Portal thing figured out, he learns some new terrible fact about the impending apocalypse.

Despite not being a big fan of having a boss, Dex accepts an offer from the mysterious Sector Administrator to work as an agent of the Daemon System. On the upside, Dex gets lots of insider information for free. The downside is that things are even worse than he ever imagined.

The arrival of the Essence Wavefront will bring with it an endless invasion, and without a plan, Earth is doomed. The Beta Test was supposed to prepare humanity – give them a fighting chance. But most of the small group of chosen testers have died. Dex feels the weight of the world on their shoulders.

Dex hated group projects in school, but this job is too big for one person. He needs help. Good thing he knows a lot of quality, talented people. But how is he supposed to break the news of the approaching apocalypse? And get them to join this lethally dangerous beta test? Being able to regenerate lethal wounds in a day doesn’t work on painfully difficult social situations.

Gaining levels and powerful investments is great, and if that was all that was going on Dex would be a happy Autistic with a new hyper-focus. But if you add in a new job, people being interested in dating, and having to make phone calls to set up appointments, the upcoming apocalypse seems to fit right in.

Because life is never simple, right?

Book 2 of this unique take on a LitRPG Apocalypse, featuring a weak-to-strong MC who gains early access to a somewhat buggy but non-sentient System.
