Punish the System, Book 1

They’re called the Outsiders, and they’re here for a good time. Humanity’s time. When the apocalypse kicks off hundreds of years too early, the System is still asleep and Earth quickly becomes a chaotic mess of pop-up Dungeons and roaming monsters. With the alien invaders treating the planet’s destruction as a resource-gathering fire sale, things are looking bleak. Connor Keene hoped being shot in the line of duty would be the only low point of his day. Then he died, and that sucked. But now, he’s been resurrected with a powerful new Class, the Punisher, and a mission to hunt down the invaders. The catch? Being a Punisher marks him as a pariah to the very people he’s trying to protect. He has the power to fight back and perhaps help save Earth, but the whole world will hate him for it. His only backup is an overly cheerful System Sprite who might be insane, a partner sharing her mind with an alien assassin murder-lizard, and a Crafter whose gear mostly doesn’t explode. It’s time to punish the System before it blue-screens Earth for good.
