Travis did everything right.

He stayed in his lane. Kept his head down. Packed up his 298-pound self and moved from the West Coast to a college where nobody knew his name… and nobody could turn him into the campus punching bag.

Cute plan.

Too bad bullies are like cockroaches: you can change zip codes, but they still show up where the snacks are.

And when Travis gets hit with an all-time humiliating pantsing and left stranded in a bathroom, he thinks he's having the worst day of his life.

Then the apocalypse drops and he finds out that it can get much worse.

Monsters. Chaos. System messages. Screaming. The whole "welcome to the end of the world" starter kit.

Luckily for Travis, fate tosses him a lifeline: one of the official apocalypse swag bags—basically a newbie gift package for people who would prefer to survive with their dignity intact. (He's already out of dignity, so we're focusing on survival.)

Now here's the twist:

Every time Travis eliminates a monster… he gets massive loot. We're talking absurd, unfair, "is this even legal?" levels of loot. And honestly? He's fine with that. Travis has never been the chosen one. He's the big boy with a big inventory, and now he's got fourteen terrified mouths to feed, a campus full of problems, and a brand-new opportunity to go from "human punching bag" to "walking supply drop with an attitude."

This isn't a doom-and-gloom apocalypse…

Okay, fine—there's some doom and gloom. Mostly because Travis's bully is still out there, still breathing, and still treating "ruin Travis's life" like it's a full-time job… even during the literal end of the world.

And as if that's not enough, a planet-wide zombie horde is loose too—not breathing, of course, and absolutely determined to make trouble for our boy.

This is an easy-living, high-loot apocalypse.
