Levelling Up System In The Apocalypse Novel

Derek Carter was an orphan surviving in Paleview City through bullying, hunger, and school deception. His struggling existence took an unexpected turn when a cryptic blue screen appeared: "Warning: The world is doomed. Try not to die." A System had manifested, though Derek received no guidance on how to use it. As monsters invaded the city and reality fractured, Derek discovered his legendary starting stats were barely above average. The System offered power, but Derek had never won a fight. Equipped with sarcasm and questionable judgment, he faced an impossible situation—the world was ending and he was humanity's supposed last hope. Refusing to accept defeat, Derek embarked on what would be humanity's final adventure. With no heroic training or natural talent, he relied on stubbornness and dark humor to survive. If the apocalypse was truly coming, at least Derek intended to make it someone else's problem first. After all, only survivors got to tell their stories.
