Waking up after a plane crash is bad. Waking up with a glitchy blue HUD only you can see? That's a whole new level of messed up.

Alex Thorne thought the worst was over when he dragged himself ashore onto a deserted island paradise. Then the System messages started. Starving, injured, and fighting for every scrap, Alex realizes survival isn't just about finding food and water—it's about leveling up.

[Urgent Quest: Survive!] Rewards: Continued Existence. Failure: Don’t.

With a snarky System tracking his every stat, assigning quests, and doling out skills for everything from [Crawling (Painful)] to [Cooking (Unappetizing)], Alex must embrace the grind. Every frantic crab chase, every hard-won yam, every crudely crafted tool pushes his stats higher and unlocks new, desperate possibilities. He’s not completely alone—a loyal canine companion, Sparky, offers much-needed backup (and [Rudimentary Tracking]).

But this island paradise holds deadly secrets beneath its lush surface. Ancient ruins whisper of forgotten peoples, terrifying predators stalk the jungle shadows, and a mysterious cave pulses with strange energy. As Alex battles monkeys, sharks, and his own dwindling sanity, he must craft, build, and fight his way from pathetic castaway to competent survivor.

Can Alex master the Castaway System before his HP hits zero? What mysteries lie hidden in the island's depths? And what is that strange glimmer on the horizon...?

Dive into a gripping LitRPG survival story packed with crafting, base building, skill progression, and a System that’s just as likely to mock you as it is to help. Perfect for fans of gritty survival challenges and stat-based progression!
