Flareforged Chronicles Book 1 : Flare Unleashed

When an X120 solar flare fries Earth’s tech—cars dead, cities dark—humanity’s cleanup nanos break free, juiced by the chaos. Designed to eat waste, they turn on steel, concrete, and circuits instead, reshaping the world into a primal ruin. For Jason Miller, ex-trucker stranded in the Nevada desert, survival’s just the start. A nano’s touch sparks a HUD in his skull: “Eon Grid Conduit Initialized. Level 1.” Stats flare—Strength, Endurance—and every kill or wrecked ruin pumps Grid Essence into his veins.
