Apocalypse Tamer 35: Man vs Spy

Previous chapter 

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

In the end, nobody purchased anything. Basil neither had the currency nor an item worth trading, at least for now. Even Walter’s potions and crafting recipes were too expensive for his meager funds.

Basil was happy with the trip all the same. Walter Tye was a dangerous man, but a knowledgeable one. He had ...

One for All worked exactly as advertised. Basil triggered the Perk after storing the campervan in the inventory and the party found themselves back at the house’s entrance in a flash of red light.

And only the party.

Basil was holding Vasi’s hand when he activated his Perk, but she didn’t teleport with them. The witch returned to the house on her flying broomstick ...

Grinding high-level monsters turned out to be a little harder than expected.

“Shellgirl, shoot the bird down!” Basil shouted from behind a tree, his voice booming over the sound of falling rain. He peeked out from his hiding spot and immediately ducked to avoid a lightning bolt to the face. The electricity hit a bush n...

Hidden among the reeds, Basil observed his target with anticipation as it approached the marsh’s muddy shore.

The beast was the most magnificent velociraptor Basil had seen yet: a young feathered stallion the size of a German shepherd. His brilliant red tail marked him as a virile specimen worthy of Basil’s stables. His powerful...

“A level 50 quest?” Neria Elissalde’s shocked voice came out of the military radio. A bump on the road almost threw it off the dashboard. “Are you sure?”

“I would send you a screenshot of my System Logs if I could,” Basil replied from behind his vehicle’s steering wheel. Plato looked at the forested road t...

Apocalypse Tamer 30: Man vs Main Quest

Previous chapter

Vasi didn’t come back the next morning. Instead, the day’s visitors were zombies.

It had become a ritual lately. Shambling corpses walked out of the woods in the morning, with flesh rotting off their bones and eyes falling out of their heads. They came by the dozen, cried out for brains, and tried to break into the gar...

The flute song echoed across the river like a slow lullaby.

The group heard the campsite long before they actually saw it. First Bugsy noticed notes playing in the air as they walked up the stream, and Basil’s newly enhanced senses soon picked them up afterwards. The cold wind carried the song through the autumn leaves ...

Apocalypse Tamer 28: Man vs Rooster

Previous chapter

It was early October. The night was cold and Basil slept soundly in his warm, comfortable bed. No nightmare could trouble his mind and no one would dare to wake him up.

“Cooohoo!”

Or so he thought.

The scream echoed through his window with the vocal strength only a rooster could muster. The earplugs in Basil...

Previous chapter

  • London, the night when the world ended.

As far as Karim Williams remembered, he always dreamed of becoming a guard.

Some children wanted to become astronauts, or scientists, or prime ministers. But not Karim. Not terribly bright even from a young age, he knew he would never amount to much. He still rem...

Steamslime’s severed head fell to the sound of thunder.

Purple lightning coursed through the star circuit in the heavens as a dragon died on earth. Steamslime’s hands collapsed under his body’s weight. His shell’s gears ground to an abrupt halt. The burning, noxious fumes pouring out of its pipes evaporated with the b...

Apocalypse Tamer 25: Man vs Dragon

Previous chapter 

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

The dragon was slow but unstoppable.

Steamslime lacked wings or hind legs, and so he had to drag his enormous shell across the city. But what he lacked in speed, he more than made up for in strength. The slime dragon bulldozed his way through houses, tossed cars aside, and crushed the pavement underfoot. He was making a beeline for the city...

The countdown to destruction had fallen under fifteen minutes, but the party came prepared.

Basil drove his Renault Kangoo across Dax’s streets. A trailer carried Bugsy at the back, alongside enough weapons to blow up a city block.

Patreon Update: Release Plans, Tiers, KU, Secret Project...

Hello everyone,

I would like to thank all of you for your patience. I've spent the last few weeks building up the backlog for Apocalypse Tamer and working on another project without communicating much; in retrospect, I should probably have spoken up a few weeks ago. 

I think a general update is long overdue to tell you how the Patreon has been changing, new stuff etc...

It took until nightfall for Vasi to complete her preparations.

In stark contrast with the ease at which she blasted an undead’s face into oblivion, the witch took her time to draw a complex circle on the church’s grounds. She traced symbols on the dirt with her broomstick’s shaft as Basil watched, humming a song...

The sun was setting on the horizon when the group reached the church.

The ancient wood building remained elegant in its simplicity. Although locals called it a church, it was closer to an abandoned wayward shrine. Ivy grew on its walls and windows. The Catholic cross atop its roof oversaw a dozen tombstones and a stream ford. ...
