Hours later, Sean was prowling the woods by himself looking for a suitable test subject. On his arm was the single ugliest object he had ever made. Hell, it might have been the least attractive piece of gear he had ever seen. People who made stuff generally liked to make them well. It was legitim...
2023-12-28 19:57:20 +0000 UTC View Post“Not a bad spread, really. Is going all in on MAG really a good idea? You’ve tested it?”
“Sort of. Every long shot I’ve pulled off has been because I could do weird shit with Hard Time. If I’m going to take down guys like Breca, I don’t think it’s going to be in con...
2023-12-28 19:55:14 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone!
So first, merry late Christmas / early New Years.
Unfortunately, the festivities have also impacted us in our regular release schedule of How to Survive at the End of the World. We'll be slowing down for the rest of this year (5 days) and get back to our regular schedule ...
2023-12-26 23:56:04 +0000 UTC View PostMagic being what it was, Sean was prepared when the enchantment spruced up the table, closed up holes, and repaired dents in the table-top from its various battlefield experiences. He was also prepared for the bit where the table righted itself, glowed for a bit, and generally made a big show of ...
2023-12-26 09:41:41 +0000 UTC View PostI don’t care who you are, what your skill set is, or how many survival shows you watched before TV stopped being a thing, you can’t make everything you need alone. If we were just talking about core items your class needs to run, it might be a different story. I’ve seen bomb girls who c...
2023-12-24 19:48:40 +0000 UTC View PostThe question of sleep is a big one. Some high-VIT builds have skills that let them go absurd amounts of time without rest of any kind, but even they need to rest at some point. The rest of us might see slight reductions in sleep needs, but for the most part, we are in the same loop we always ...
2023-12-23 20:09:02 +0000 UTC View PostHuh. But it is headed for the apple, right? Sean had an idea about that. Springing forward, he gave the Tell a stab in the neck for good measure as he eyeballed the steep, downward angle the arrow was descending on. Then, he aligned his body just right, trying his hardest to keep the Tel...

In my book, the biggest scam the Apocalypse System ever pulled was what it did with the plants. Not the monster plants that move, fight and that grant experience when you slay them. And not t...
2023-12-21 20:22:00 +0000 UTC View PostIf you count the three novels that make up Deadworld Isekai at the moment, this is my fourth completed novel in about five months. There are some who would call that too much writing. I’m trying to think of it, as much as I can, as practice. I have some thoughts on that, but before I can explai...
2023-12-20 19:59:16 +0000 UTC View Post“Holy shit. Holy shit.” Sean sat heaving on the ground, still barely believing he had made it. “How did that actually work? Like actually how?”
“I was thinking sort of the same thing.” Estesia dropped from a nearby wall down to where Sean was still laying on the ground. “A wee...
2023-12-20 19:57:55 +0000 UTC View PostHalfway through the Kaijupiter’s stride, the poison started taking effect. A creeping blackness laced by flashes of fire, lightning, and various other elements Sean couldn’t detect flowed through its veins and arteries, spreading as far up as its ankle and all the way down to its big toe.
... 2023-12-19 19:22:11 +0000 UTC View PostThat slight reduction in speed turned out to be more than enough to flip the script. Where Sean had been vulnerable to tackles and shoulder-hits before, he could now get out of the way before they landed. This meant he had more time to attack with the Zeus-teeth and the poison’s qualitative eff...
2023-12-18 16:11:26 +0000 UTC View PostOne of the glutton rabbits was chewing on a fallen Zeus, hungrily gulping down whatever parts that it could break off with its sharp little nibbling teeth. And then, in an act of horror Sean would never forgive the system for, it split. In a bloody, tearing sort of multicellular mitosis, the rabb...
2023-12-17 18:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostRecovering the Trash Compactor and the darts that had been embedded in Zeus skulls, Sean sat down and tried to rest as best he could. Stitch Up was working its hardest to put him fully back together by the time the crack showed activity again, but it was slow-going. At least, he...
2023-12-16 18:16:23 +0000 UTC View PostThe good news about crack challenges is that you don’t have to worry about them. Every now and again, someone reaches some magic threshold and starts a challenge and all hell breaks loose, but it’s their hell. It’s designed for them, it’s focused on them, and when they win or die, it ...
2023-12-16 18:14:21 +0000 UTC View PostFaced with Eike’s threat, Sean very badly wanted to throw back some sarcasm. He wanted to tell this arrogant, goal-oriented motherhumper exactly where he could stick his plans, and exactly how far in he should delve while doing so. In the moment, he wanted nothing more than to get kawaii as fuc...
2023-12-15 20:51:13 +0000 UTC View PostBreca sneered in disgust as Sean chucked a dart as hard and fast as his STR and DEX would allow. Besides trying to center it on the offworlder, Sean didn’t spend much energy or focus aiming it at any vital point. He doubted he could actually hit Breca with it. If he could dodge one of Breca’s...

The Junkyard Goliath was a life form made from a little of everything. It spent most of its time resting, ordered its underlings to rearrange the objects that made up its being, and condensed the essence of being sort of...
2023-12-14 19:19:43 +0000 UTC View PostThe night was darker than Sean remembered. As he picked his way across the garbage that now filled a good portion of the crater outside his bunker, Sean realized why. The Rathound set, starter equipment that it was, had an attribute that improved his vision in low-light environments. Now that was...
2023-12-13 03:46:47 +0000 UTC View PostSo this is my ticket in? This is how they make it fair?”
The decision was harder than Sean was willing to admit. He had no real way of knowing how strong the front-runners in this competition were, but they had to be stronger than him. He had had... What? A week? That wasn’t enough to c...
