The System Apocalypse Short Story Anthology Volume III

By Tao Wong
The System Apocalypse Short Story Anthology Volume III by Tao Wong digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

A relentless bounty hunter. A reporter chasing the story of a lifetime. A warrior paying the price for every battle fought.

These stories and more are featured in the third short story anthology for the System Apocalypse, continuing the saga of survival in a world transformed by the arrival of the System. Humanity has adapted to a new reality filled with Classes, magic and monsters, but the struggle for life, love and purpose never ends. This anthology brings together gripping tales from returning authors and two new short stories 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 series that blends monsters, science fiction technology, character sheets, supernatural races and ancient myths into one heady LitRPG brew.

Stories and Writers featured in this anthology include:

Tao Wong - In "Extracted Reports on the Fall of the System", collected dispatches from Harry Prince, reporter and sometime companion to the infamous Redeemer of the Dead. Now on special exhibit at the Museum of the Thirteenth Dungeon until the sixth turning of the seventh moon.

Tao Wong - "Separate but Equal" - features high stakes, low criminals and a piece of American literature no alien should have their hands on

Craig Hamilton - Another contract. Another battle. For bounty hunter Hal Mason it's just another ordinary day on apocalyptic Earth when an unexpected twist changes the stakes in "The Redeemer Returns."

David R. Packer - In "Wee Timorous Mousie," a life of combat has a cost. What does it take to get a warrior to keep paying that price?

Jason J. Willis - Gerri was betrayed by their dream girl and drugged into a nightmare trip. That should have been the worst part of their day. But there's no rock bottom once the System comes in "Truth for Truth."
