A bounty hunting survivor. A Galactic dark elf. A woman who has given up her humanity to become something more.

 

These stories and more are available in the first short story anthology for the System Apocalypse, covering year one on Earth. When the world ends, humanity steps up, finding new ways to survive in a world with Classes, magic and monsters. The anthology features exciting, new stories by five new writers and a new, never publicly released short story by Tao Wong.

 

The System Apocalypse world was first introduced in 'Life in the North' and is a LitRPG science fiction and fantasy post-apocalyptic work that features monsters, science fiction technology, character sheets, supernatural races and ancient myths in one heady, LitRPG brew.

 

Stories and writers featured in this anthology include:

 


  • Craig Hamilton - Hunting Monsters has our protagonist doing what he does best. Finding those who would exploit the System and the people within. Except this time, there are even more complications than normal.

  • Alexis Keane - Tooth and Claw is a heart-warming tale of friendship that knows no bounds of race or distance.

  • Ix Phoen - Rebel Within tells a tale of hardship in South America, where the monsters are not always the ones outside the walls.

  • Tao Wong – “Debts & Dances” covers the arrival of the System from the perspective of our favorite Truinnar Lord.

  • R.K. Billiau – “Phoenix Rising” covers an unconventional hero, one whose mind is slipping from him before the apocalypse. Will the apocalypse be his salvation? Or doom?

  • L.A. Batt - “Overture to Obliteration” brings us to far-off New Zealand to glimpse the wreckage the System has wrought.

Tao Wong is a Canadian author based in Toronto who is best known for his System Apocalypse post-apocalyptic LitRPG series and A Thousand Li, a Chinese xianxia fantasy series. He was shortlisted for the UK Kindle Storyteller award in 2021 for A Thousand Li: The Second Sect. When he's not writing and working, he's practicing martial arts, reading, and dreaming up new worlds.

Craig Hamilton spends most of his day as a technical sales engineer, translating specifications and talking about IT infrastructure. While writing has been taking up most of his free time lately, Craig also appreciates playing tabletop RPGs or board games with friends. When his inner introvert demands a break from polite company, Craig can be found sprawled on a couch with a book or e-reader.

Neil Hellegers is a narrator, actor, and educator who lives in Brooklyn with his wife, son, and mutt. His voice work can be heard in various commercials, video games, and numerous audiobooks.

Shamaan was born in 1996 and raised in Converse, TX. Growing up, he always watched a lot of animation, which gave him a deep appreciation for voice acting, which only grew as the years went on. Even from a young age, he had a voice that commanded the attention of others. Though not an attention seeker, he always noticed how heads would turn when he spoke, and he was often compared to James Earl Jones and Morgan Freeman, even in middle school. When he chose to pursue a career in culinary arts and work as a food salesman, everyday people would tell him that he should be in radio. With years of public speaking experience thanks to his religious ministry, he finally yielded to all of the advice he had received over the years and finally embraced getting into the world of voice-over by making audiobooks. Now, he combines his vocal talents with his love of reading to help bring stories to life. When he's not reading, he's cooking, baking, or gaming. Whatever he's doing, he's got a story to tell.

Gary Bennett is an experienced audiobook narrator, an electrical engineer, and a private pilot. He has always been passionate about storytelling and spent years honing his craft with some of the best names in the field. When not narrating, he can be found listening to music or spending time outdoors. Born and raised in California, he currently resides in the greater Seattle area.
