About

At 3 a.m., Owen Ferris is doing the only thing he's ever been good at — keeping a stranger on the phone for one more minute — when the sky fills with blue text and the System swallows the world. Everyone gets a class. Solo killers get scaling stats and a fast climb. Owen gets BENEFACTOR: non-combat, attributes locked at assignment, never to rise by level, skill, or tier. He can't hurt a thing. His power only works when someone bonded to him hears him speak — and he only levels when they win. The System rewards the lone and brands the bonded as dead weight, culling anyone who can't resolve a threat before the tutorial clock runs out. So the useless man with eleven years on a crisis line does the one thing the killers won't: he reads the fine print nobody finishes — the published clause, the exposed second, the rule the System swears it will never break — and he talks the overlooked through fights that should kill them. A nineteen-year-old executioner built to fight alone. A hospital custodian whose ward protects everyone but herself. One grey name already marked LOST on a roster he never asked for. Seventy-two hours. Tier walls that raw stats can't punch through. A class that turns the lowest seat at the table into the one kind of leverage no killer can match. Stay With Me is a hopeful, camaraderie-driven apocalypse LitRPG about the people the System throws away — threat and survival, never splatter; warmth as the engine, not the garnish. 📖 An ongoing serial · new chapters daily through the launch window. Written with AI assistance — drafted with the author's own NovelForge pipeline, human-directed and human-edited. Tagged per Royal Road's AI policy.
