A comedy about the end of the world.

Mud Wizard Bob

18:47a hot bath
18:48the apocalypse

He wanted a hot bath and a good book. The universe filed a different request.

Bob Brown's day was already terrible before the universe ended it. One minute he's soaking in the bath after a catastrophic day of QA engineering; the next, a cheerful blue box is welcoming him to the System Initiation — a survival gauntlet with levels, classes, and death lurking behind every menu. Bob's class? Mud Wizard. His build? Questionable. His plan? Survive the apocalypse, out-bluff monsters and magical thugs alike, and get home to his golden retriever, George. For readers who like their apocalypses absurd, their protagonists underpowered, and their dogs very, very good.

What readers say

This is genuinely one of the most interesting LitRPG stories I've read.

Reader review
  • Wry humour, novelty abound, and the constant, ticking pressure of apocalyptic proportions. What's not to love?

    Early reader

  • With all seriousness and wry humor of Monty Python.

    Reader review of Book One

  • I feel a good PG Wodehouse vibe so far — I remember cackling similarly for Bertie.
