(I accidentally posted an old draft and opened the story. I haven't worked out the structure yet. This may be one of those projects I finish in my lifetime.)
Blurb:
In the fifteenth year after the apocalypse began, you, an orphan, awaken an ability during a viral outbreak.
Your ability is [Always live a little better than 70% of the people around you].
At the same time, you acquire a base-building and management System.
The cruelty of the apocalypse has worn away what little conscience and humanity you had left, but you don't want to keep suffering.
You'll seize every resource you can use to claw your way up. Your desires have no limit. Being somewhere in the upper-middle isn't enough. You want to reach the very top of the survivors.
