Apocalypse Tamer 52: Man vs Cheat

Previous Chapter 

--------------------

“Maya!” Officer Elissalde raised her rifle at the reptilian abomination facing them. “Release her at once!”

“Did you take me for a fool, Elissalde?” ‘Dionysus’—or rather, the man pretending to be him—smiled ear to ear. His teeth were fangs and his tongue forked. “Do you think any loose end is benea...

Apocalypse Tamer 51: Man vs Bridge

Previous Chapter 

---------------------

Bordeaux’s right bank, or ‘Rive Droite’, was something of an aberration.

Although Bordeaux was one of France’s largest and most developed cities, the right bank of the Garonne river was underdeveloped. Half-savage expanses of muddy tall grass and abandoned houses faced chic, luxurious docks shining from the lef...

Walter Tye’s shop was relatively crowded today.

More than ten clients strode through its shelves, each more sinister than the last: a golden, crowned skeleton sorcerer floating in the air through magic; some kind of Dracula cosplayer in black finery; a four-armed, archaic robot; and so many more. Basil and Vasi stayed...

Apocalypse Tamer 49: Man vs Investigation

Previous Chapter

Basil’s bedroom in the Steamobile was a tiny alcove with a mattress and a single window. It was terribly small, uncomfortable, and trembled with each road bump.

In short, it was the perfect place to watch a world-shaking video. The truth wouldn’t hurt as much as Basil’s back.

I’ve got hour...

The pumpkin moon vanished beyond the horizon, signaling the event’s end.

No other monster dared to challenge the Homeowner Revenge Association’s might during the night. The candy mountain didn’t grow any taller than it already did, which disappointed Basil a little. In retrospect, he should have been more ...

Apocalypse Tamer Flash Poll: Halloween Rewards

A flash poll to select the Halloween/Samhain Event rewards. The three most popular choices will be added to the story (if two prizes are tied, I'll pick one at random). Multiple choices are possible. 

- Vampire Coffin: a sinister coffin that, if inside a party leader's inventory when one of their allies dies, will revive them as a vampire creature. The coffin will disappear afterwards.

Apocalypse Tamer 47: Man vs Halloween

Previous Chapter 

-------------------

Out of all the monsters Basil had expected to fight on Halloween, a spaceship mimic wasn’t one of them.

Basil didn’t know whether the Soyuz had been a trap from the start or if the creature had slowly taken over the shuttle like a hermit crab. It didn’t matter: at this point, the Soyuz and the mimic were indistingu...

The Soyuz crew didn’t survive the impact.

Basil only had to take a look through the broken window to confirm it. Two dead astronauts lay inside the capsule: one facedown against a complex panel of switches and buttons, the other a charred skeleton with a shattered helmet. The corpse’s ghoulish visage of bones and burning flesh...

It was on Monday, October 31st, that Basil Bohen would learn the true meaning of dread.

Dusk crept on the horizon and the supermoon slowly rose in the skies. Basil enjoyed a clear view of the phenomenon from Château Muloup’s battlements. The moon was the closest to Earth yet and would soon dominate the skies. Its orang...

Nothing better than the smell of cooked flesh in the evening.

Basil rejoiced at the sight of steaks warming up on his grill. Rosemarine’s Fire Seeds burned in the castle’s shiny new courtyard, their very presence providing as much heat as coal. Gargoyle ham, bug drone ribs, and the few fish the party harvested from ...

The dungeon was healing its wounds.

His group’s attack on Château Muloup had caused lasting damage. Rosemarine had savaged the façade and Vasi had bombarded the outer walls with fireballs to clear out the defenders. Broken ramparts, shattered glass and crumbling gargoyles were their legacy.

Yet the walls healed. Rif...

To kill. That was the monster’s first thought as he became self-aware.

Magic shaped him from nothing. Otherworldly energies assembled his raw particles into the shape of an unliving being. He had no parents, no past to call his own; for he was a putrid four-legged horror with festering flesh, cold black scales, sharp claws, and cruel fangs. His jaws could break stones like reeds ...

The dagger pierced straight through Kuikui’s ribs.

Basil wasn’t certain whether the dinosaur had been trying to catch the dagger in midair with his maw or if he had tried to push his master out of the projectile’s way. The result was the same. Kuikui’s timing was wrong and he took the dagger straight-on. Time slowed down...

They blew up the entrance as the opening salvo.

They held the funeral in the rain.

The Bohens and House Garden parties were gathered for it, with the notable exception of Vasi and Orcine. Basil presided over the ceremony before the smoking crater of his house, hands joined in prayer.

He glanced at his audience, at the mourning faces of his companions. His dea...

When dawn reared its head, the sun rose upon a land of ash.

Standing atop a mound near the stream, Basil and Plato witnessed the devastation with grim hearts. The air was thick with ashes carried by the cold autumn wind. The grayness of death had taken over the lush nature of the Barthes. Everywhere he looked, Basil saw burned husks of trees, piles of dust, and the charr...

Vainqueur 32 Preview: Tales of the Kobold Rangers

Here's the preview of next week's Vainqueur Webtoon episode, exclusively on Tapas, the Tales of the Kobold Rangers.

It's honestly the funniest episode of the entire Webtoon in my own opinion; the preview alone makes me laugh each time I see it XD

The best side-episode of all times, where the Kobold Rangers defend His Majesty’s food from a terrible monster!

Sorry, there won't be a Apocalypse Tamer Bestiary entry this Monday; my artist was delayed due to personal issues and thus I'm waiting for the next batch of pictures before updating the stat entries. 

Otherwise, I have important news about another novel.
