About this listen
Not everyone falls during an apocalypse. Some rise to the occasion.
For Fool and Jackal, the System Apocalypse was a chance to start again. A chance to rise, and be who they were meant to be.
Now, they're trying to offer others the same opportunities as part of a secret organization helping humanity survive the System.
Today's mission? Nothing big, just your typical save-the-princess quest.
But when you're the Acolyte of a Trickster god, typical is the last thing you should expect.
Just ask Fool's cat.
Fool's Play is the first book in a new series in the System Apocalypse universe. Written by David R. Packer in Tao Wong's bestselling post-apocalyptic LitRPG universe, System Apocalypse: Kismet follows a different path through a post-apocalyptic world, one of hope, redemption, and second chances.

A man. His ex-girlfriend's cat. A sadistic game show unlike anything in the universe: a dungeon crawl where survival depends on killing your prey in the most entertaining way possible. In a flash, every human-erected construction on Earth - from Buckingham Palace to the tiniest of sheds - collapses in a heap, sinking into the ground. The buildings and all the people inside have all been atomized and transformed into the dungeon: an 18-level labyrinth filled with traps, monsters, and loot.

An inn is a place to rest, a place to talk and share stories, a place to find adventure, or a starting ground for quests and legends. It is in this world, at least. To Erin Solstice, an inn seems like a medieval relic from the past. But here she is, running from Goblins and trying to survive in a world full of monsters and magic. She’d be more excited about all of this if everything wasn’t trying to kill her. But an inn is what she’s found, and so that’s what she becomes; an innkeeper, who serves drinks to heroes and monsters. Mostly monsters. But it’s a living, right?

Fight, survive, adapt, and rely only on yourself. That is Derek’s creed and what's got him through the System Integration on Earth. Everything changed when the System came. Cute bunnies and beautiful butterflies became savage killing machines. Then the Invaders arrived with a single goal: to obtain ownership of this new habitable planet. War has raged ever since. None of this mattered much to Derek, aside from making living a little more perilous.

Dying the first time sucked. Matt's trying to avoid a repeat performance. For Matt, joining Earth's last line of defense was exactly the purpose he needed. Saving the world could be fun—if you don’t mind a little soul-crushing responsibility. But being killed and reincarnated into the battlefield chaos of a 4x game world wasn't what he had in mind. The world map is made out of hexagrams, the units are semi-sentient and his opponents have a head start. As if that wasn't enough, there's no instruction manual for this nightmare.

I love the System Apocalypse books
I enjoyed the first series a lot but I really prefer hearing the stories while the characters are still in the lower levels. the lower level characters are much more fun to hear about since everything has not become so blown out of proportion. I truly enjoy listening to the characters learn how to use their skills and abilities to make it in this new world.

Very good. Surprising and interesting
Very good story. Deep and surprising. Much better than 'grit' and cleatly much better than the stupid 'australia' series . The narrator is reasonable, althoghe missing some character differentiation capabilities. Highily expectant fo the next book.

A new take on the existing world
Rather than starting with the system's coming, we're now 3 years into the system and Fool and Jackal are making the best of it. Working for a somewhat mysterious Foundation, they are fighting back to ensure humans have a place on Earth. Overall a great story and really enjoyed having a non-super-fighter as the MC. Yes, Jackal is a high level fighter, but Fool handles the planning and healing. Of course, a lot of his plans seem to amount to start.. then wing it.

Mediocre Story missing lots of Details
The story was pretty mediocre. It starts off with expecting you to understand numerous things in the genre. This is not a first time reader to the genre type book.
The main characters were ok, but took time to get to know. This was jarring and frustrating to listen to.
The story line itself was ok but nothing great.
