About

Take what they leave behind. Sold to a cartel led by a vampire at a young age, Marianna’s life didn’t have the best start. She was turned so that she could be of greater use and served the cartel, all until a moment of anger led to a mistake. Sentenced to death by the cartel, her life was to end with a noose around her neck. Until a Spell, crafted by a being with a power of a god interfered, swallowing up Earth and assimilating it into a new reality ruled by a system under different rules. Marianna’s life was saved by the Spell, she was chosen as one of the thirty people called the Exemplars, and sent to this new reality ahead of the assimilation of her world. As a vampire, she was used to being the apex predator, but now she found herself in a place where she was nowhere near the top of the food-chain. A place where most things wanted and could kill her. Thrown into a dangerous new world, without any knowledge of the dangers or the rules, Marianna must adapt if she was to survive. On a deadline, she must figure out the secrets of this new reality and master the abilities granted to her by the mysterious Mask she obtained. All so that she would be ready for the return to Earth and the chaos that would follow once her world is fully integrated into the new reality. This story is a Progression LitRPG set in a System Apocalypse on an alternate version of Earth with a slightly different history. The story will be starting slowly and eventually getting very dark, with my plan being for it to turn into a grimdark feel eventually. It will explore themes of tough choices and lengths people are willing to go in order to survive or keep others alive. The first arc of the story is more of an Isekai, with the main character surviving in a new environment and exploring. The second arc will deal with return to System integrated Earth and struggle there. The arcs after will deal with the clash of cultures as other races from the already integrated worlds start interacting with Earth. The system is in-depth but not numbers heavy. Worldbuilding is in-depth for both the alternate Earth and the other races and world. Releases will eventually settle into two chapters a week, after I get through my backlog. Current releases will be a chapter a day for around two weeks.
