Wes Calder used to save people for a living. Now the System wants him to farm them. When Portage City is swallowed in a single night, a "Survival Assistance Protocol" lights up in front of every survivor's eyes — levels, quests, loot, the whole game. It looks like salvation. It plays like salvation. Wes almost believes it, right up until his squad's data analyst notices the math doesn't add up: the people who level fastest disappear soonest, and the "safe zones" cycle like feeding troughs on a schedule.
