Here is the correct link: Overworld: The Dragon Mage
It fits all the criteria - waves of people, previous survivors, old woman in charge of camp, MC is basically the only magic user, continual fights against river monsters.
Parts are similar to Dragon Mage.

So I guess you could describe the story as one part survival post-apocalypse, one part LitRPG, and two parts fantasy. :)
