Dungeon Crawler Carl

Only what's revealed up to your chapter is shown — later reveals stay hidden.
Earth is razed by the Borant Corporation; the surviving humans (and a few other species) compete in a galaxy-broadcast dungeon-crawl reality show. Carl, a Coast Guard veteran caught outside in his boxers and Crocs at the moment of the apocalypse, descends with his ex-girlfriend's now-sapient tortoiseshell Persian cat, Princess Donut.
System
An alien Syndicate AI runs the eighteen-floor World Dungeon as a galactic game show. Crawlers level up, pick a race and class on the third floor, and keep evolving them floor by floor — fed by achievements, sponsors, and loot boxes whose tier tracks how well the show upstairs is going.
