Early Adopter [System Apocalypse | LitRPG | Progression Fantasy]
Private Investigator Scarlet Bourne isn’t particularly bothered by the prospect of the end of the world. As far as she’s concerned, it wasn’t that great a place anyway. So when strange windows begin appearing in people’s vision, warning them they have three days until ‘Full Initialization’, she just does what she always does. She prepares.
When the countdown ends, extinction never comes. Instead, the world gets monsters and mana, and its people get the System. Most people panic, some people adapt, and a few even thrive. In the midst of chaos, Scarlet sees opportunity. There’s a gap in the market. One an information broker like her is uniquely qualified to fill. The rules have changed, and nobody knows what they are. Scarlet intends to be the first to find out.
With her unique advantages and her bonded companion at her side, she isn’t looking to fight her way to the top. She’s going to control the battlefield from the shadows.
If secrets are security and knowledge is power, then Scarlet intends to become untouchable.
