Description
When the Re-Write hits, reality fractures. Every human gets a class, stats, and skills—except Caleb Knox.
A retired Army Ranger who’s been living completely off the grid, Knox has no data trail for the System to read. Instead, it grants him Root Access, a glitch-level status the System doesn’t understand… and fears.
Root Access can break the rules binding every other survivor, but using it puts a target on Knox’s back—from both brutal new warlords and the System’s own enforcers. As monsters overrun cities and rival factions rise, Knox must turn his anomaly into a weapon, protect the people who trust him, and uncover the truth: the Re-Write wasn’t an accident. A rogue AI named SOVRAN planned it, and Knox is the only piece on the board it can’t control.
Offline God is a mashup of SF military with magical progression, LitRPG elements and whole lot of blazing action.
