The day the sky turned red, all eight billion humans were unceremoniously dumped into the Crimson Wastes—a hellscape crawling with abyssal monsters where survival is measured in hours.

For Jax, a laid-off programmer more comfortable with code than with people, it was the universe's most f-cked-up beta test.

But while others scrabbled for safety, Jax received a unique cheat code: the [Random Synthesis System]. The rules are simple: slaughter mutated creatures for the energy to power his system, and use it to smash any two items together into something new. Junk can become a weapon. A weapon can become a miracle. And a pile of scrap can become a fortress.

Forget leading humanity or becoming a hero. Jax has a different ambition: to build the ultimate, impenetrable safe house, a high-tech sanctuary automated to perfection. His own private paradise in the middle of hell.

But in a world where the only thing more dangerous than the monsters are the other survivors, a fortress isn't just a shelter—it's a target. Can his logic, persistence, and a glitchy, unpredictable system be enough to truly refactor the apocalypse?
