But for Carl, it's anything but a game.Ī refreshing take on apocalyptical LITRPG That's the only way to truly survive in this game - with the help of the loot boxes dropped upon you by the generous benefactors watching from across the galaxy.

And he’s the only American president who lost a reelection bid but returned to office in the following election.
