Adam vs the Apocalypse [Progression, LitRPG, Sysapoc, OP MC]
Community Rating
Description
What is true power, if not that which can protect those who need protection? Adam had left everything behind. His brother, his empire, and System space entirely in a gamble for peace. He had found a small, mana dead universe at the far fringes of reality, and made a life for himself in it. He had made a new life, a family, and a surprising amount of happiness in the mundanity of it. With that new life came the pains of mortality. His daughter had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer, and there was nothing he could do to help. No longer could he cure her with magic, instead he was forced to watch her suffer through unsuccessful treatment after treatment. And then for the third time in his long, long life, everything changed. It shouldn’t have been possible, but that didn’t matter. It was happening anyway. The System had found them. An apocalypse had reached Earth, and he wouldn’t waste this opportunity. With the runic blade humming back to life, Adam had a chance to save his daughter's life. He would not fail.

- Leahcim ZanathaxRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0So far, this story is pretty darned solid.
The lead is pretty powerful, but not nearly into the range of OP yet, which I appreciate.
Its an interesting take on Isekai and Post-Apoc, at least to me, and an enjoyable read so far.
Give this story a shot. Its worth the read! - RunegamerRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0I'm reviewing this on chapter 1 because I've been reading not logged in until now, but I felt it was worth the review.
I have really enjoyed this story so far! the setup premise is interesting and the story is very well written, and I love floof! the back story through post script is really nice as well and its a great way to provide those memories.
I look forward to reading more - I'm currently on chapter 14 about to read 15 - robhongRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0This is a story with a nice twist, one I don't believe I've seen before. Someone who had a system who threw it away only for it to land on their lap again in the future. The storyline so far is quite nice, and there is some back story which I hope the author will eventually merge (the uncle) with the present storyline. All in all, a nice start. Keep it up!
- memashRoyal Road★★★★★ 4.5I've been looking for a book with an mc that has kids. Its always interesting to see what peoples expectations of a good parent are in stressful situations, even fantastical ones. I look forward to seeing where this goes :)
Ps. Floof is good boi, plz give him more snack thx
