The Hook & Setting
Setting: Earth after System Integration, then a rural village on a new world with a different System.
Tone: Power-fantasy LitRPG with a gruff loner who softens, mixing apocalypse survival with slice-of-life and found family.
System premise: A System rewrites Earth, turning animals into killers and bringing alien Invaders; the protagonist is moved to a second System where he keeps his stats but resets to level 0.
