The Cost of Survival: A Post-Apocalyptic LitRPG

Written by Tao Wong

Narrated by Nick Podehl

What cost survival in a post-apocalyptic world?

How much will you sacrifice to survive in a world turned game? When friends and family fall to monsters and aliens everyday, will you choose safety over freedom?

These are the questions the survivors in the Yukon must ask themselves. New alien masters arrive, offering safety from ever stronger monsters in return for their freedom and future potential.

Thrust into a position of power and influence by dint of his Levels, John must choose - not just for himself but Whitehorse itself. The price, however, might be more than he is willing to pay.

The Cost of Survival is Book 3 of the System Apocalypse, a LitRPG post-apocalyptic series that combines modern day urban life, science fiction and fantasy elements along with game mechanics.
