Against Ruin's Fate

Restarting the Apocalypse, Book 2

By: Michael Chatfield

Narrated by: Gary Furlong

The apocalypse didn’t break Plynthia. The nobles did that long before the end came.

Len and Rick survived its fall—barely.

Sent into dungeon after dungeon to map, clear, and die for noble profit, they earned their stats the hard way: one scar, one kill, one body at a time.

Now they’ve gone back. Not by choice. Not by magic. By system design.

The cracks they remember are spreading again.

Trapped on the frontlines of the Stained Mountain Range, they're under siege by mana-mutated beasts. Their only shot at saving the firebase? Dig through the mountain to reach Goran before Halem Forest spills over and devours them all.

But Goran isn't a rescue. It's a powder keg.

The kingdom’s lords are circling—offering bribes, spinning promises, preparing for a civil war that hasn’t started yet... but will. Len and Rick have seen this game before, and they know how it ends: with bodies stacked in dungeons and nobles squabbling over the loot.

This time, it’s not their war.

But if they walk away, it might be everyone’s last.

Against Ruin’s Fate is Book 2 of Restarting the Apocalypse, a gritty Regressor LitRPG series by international bestseller Michael Chatfield.

Expect: Dungeon warfare

Crafting-based progression

Military realism

Zero plot armor

Power earned, not gifted

Rage, rage against ruin’s fate—and change it.

Fantastic listen

what an incredibly fun book. I had this one marked in my calendar. I really enjoyed the world building and the way both MC's are written. The writing is sharp and funny. I laughed out loudly several times. I registered to the first book before I started the second. Now I am eagerly awaiting book 3.

great as always

he always has stories that entertain and take you on a wonderful adventure. looking forward to the next books

excellent

I have a love hate for politics yet the buildup of ego only to be squashed by reality is always exciting

I enjoy world building

I love world building this book The story is great but it’s going too slow.

All the new skills and progress is awesome.

I like there getting the groups back together. This is a great 2nd book.
