The World Ends, Not in Fire and Flames but via a series of Blue Boxes

All John wanted to do was get away from his life in Kluane National Park for a weekend. Hike, camp and forget about his ex and the mess his life has become. Instead, the world comes to an end in a series of blue boxes. Animals start evolving, monsters begin spawning and he’s now got a character sheet and physics defying skills. Now, he has to survive the apocalypse, get back to civilization and not lose his mind along the way.

The System has arrived and with it, aliens, monsters and a reality that draws upon past legends and game-like reality. John will need to find new friends, deal with his ex and the slavering monsters that keep popping up.

Chaos erupts in the Barony of Fallmere when a surprise elemental attack destroys Norwynne Keep. Aaron and Shanna survive, but Shanna becomes lost in the fallout while Aaron is forced to flee for his life. Unbeknownst to Aaron, Shanna is captured by the enemy who destroyed their home. This enemy, a savant who claims to follow the path of science, speaks of ancient, infernal devices and a quest to reclaim the greatest of them all. Meanwhile, only the worst of nightmares await Aaron. Pursued by dwarven raiders, mad sorcerers, and a host of demons who will not stop until he is dead, the only thing keeping him alive is his own wits and an eslar mercenary whose reputation as a killer might make him the worst threat of all. Though Aaron and Shanna travel different paths, the Fifth Element draws them back together and into a final confrontation where science and sorcery will collide.
