About this listen

When the government thinks they have a lead on an inexpensive energy source, they throw together a research project for it, disregarding some unfortunate occurrences with similar research previously. The theory is that they can create a wormhole that will constantly allow energy through, then they'll convert the energy into electricity and feed it into the grid. Maxwell Carter works a maintenance job at a government research facility.

The research lab he works at has an accident, more energy coming through the wormhole than anticipated, enough to completely rupture the shields that were supposed to contain it until they finished determining how to convert the energy into electricity. Previously harmless animals are changed to nightmare threats and people are dying, seemingly due to incidents related directly to their interests.

Max and his friend Ron make it out of the facility alive, although the rest of the people in the facility aren't so lucky. The strangeness that was surrounding the labs seems to be expanding, even reaching his home within a day or two. Now strange screens, reminiscent of some of the online games he's played, are appearing in his vision, and apparently Prometheus, the AI running on the supercomputer from the research lab, is the one in charge of it all and is dedicated to spreading this new energy worldwide.

Good but slow

A good story and would make a very good series. Though the issue I have with it was the story move very slow. In fact, I put this book away for about a month before I came back and finished it. it is a very good story and has some good plot elements.

Great system origin story

There was a lot that went great with this book. But it did turn into a slice of life. Unless the author can get the characters a will to power, it will continue to be a slice of life.

Different take on LitRPG

Interesting story line. Ebook version needed some editing but errors seemed to be corrected in audio version Characters weren't deep but most were believable.

Better than expected

interesting story it doesn't move too fast or too slow, it's pretty light on the litrpg which I like since it doesn't bombard you with numbers

so a system outbreak

this book is the star of a system series. The US has found out how to make worm hole but they don't completely understand them. the first time one of this Worm hole is made it destroyed part of a big city. this story takes place in rural Colorado where a small facility is working on making a smaller worm hole. this facility is using an AI name Promitius to with the primary gold of making the energy product by the worm hole usable by all of humanity. exposure to this energy makes the Promitius AI go sapien so he comes to the conclusion that the best way to make this energy usable by every one is by making a system and adapting people to the energy. However he disad that the best way to implement the system is by copying MMO RPG as inspiration.

TLDR an AI used Energy from a magic portal to make System and give everyone classes.
