Mortal Gauntlet
The multiverse is watching. He'll be damned sure to give them a show.
Saving an innocent from a drug-crazed superhuman should've left Nil broken. Instead, it wins him the Nexus' attention.
Nil is done feeling small and watching his family scrape by. He now has the opportunity to make a difference.
Apocalypse Arena holds the key; where the multiverse's champions battle and keep the Scourge at bay. Pain, death, and heartbreak await all who run the gauntlets, but Nil has what it takes to grapple his way to the top.
The stronger his opponent, the harder he hits. Perhaps even knock out a God.
Don't miss the start of an action-packed new Apocalypse LitRPG Adventure from bestselling author J Pal. Featuring a unique System that fuses LitRPG, Cultivation and super powers along with gladiator fights, battle royales and other combat games where death is always a possibility.

J. Pal
Before he became known for conjuring soul-space solar systems and brutal multiverse arenas, J. Pal spent his days navigating the heat and rhythm of a professional kitchen. For seven years, writing was a private ritual, snatched between shifts, scribbled in notebooks, or tucked into digital folders labeled someday. That “someday” arrived with the pandemic, when the world stood still and his stories finally surged forward.
J. Pal’s fiction lives at the intersection of game logic and emotional stakes. Whether it's The Houndsman series with its fortress building and frontier grit, or the arcane experiments of Department of Dungeon Studies, his work balances clever systems with the kind of character arcs that make you care deeply before the next boss fight. His style is lean but textured, humorous without breaking tension, and consistently grounded in clear rules, whether the magic is fueled by mana, memory, or madness.
Apocalypse Arena
Apocalypse Arena consists of three books and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
