Magic swept in on invisible currents. The System arrived. Monsters followed. Forty days before the first invasion hits. Andy's simple existence—a trailer, the Sonoran desert, minimal expectations—evaporated the moment Tucson began its collapse. Magic shattered reality's old rules. Monsters prowled the streets. Mutation became currency; death the alternative. He never sought heroism. When screams erupted, Andy seized a broken broomstick and executed his singular skill: survival. Now the weight multiplies—children seeking his shelter, neighbors demanding his leadership, a trailer park metamorphosing into a bastion. The System accelerates his power—yet the pace feels glacial against the encroaching deadline. The invasion countdown accelerates. Multiple breaches loom. Andy's failure means annihilation for everyone he's grown to protect. A progression fantasy woven from found family, desperate valor, and wresting meaning from an unraveling world.
