Valentines in an Apocalypse: A System Apocalypse Short Story

The System Apocalypse Short Stories, Book 1

By: Tao Wong

Narrated by: John Pirhalla, Stephanie Nemeth-Parker

What happens when the apocalypse is over; to love, strained and torn?

How do you pick up the pieces, when life stabilises?

It's a question our heroes must ask themselves, when they're no longer fighting off swarms of monsters, no longer struggling for Credits and Levels. Valentine's in the Apocalypse is set four years after the System Apocalypse has arrived, between books 5 and 6 of the System Apocalypse and features new characters. The story is set in Vancouver, BC.

Spoiler

I just finished valentines in an apocalypse, another short story in the System Apocalypse universe.

Wow this one was really cool, as well as kind of bittersweet. I really liked seeing the organization stuff that happened in beteeen these books because it’s something we don’t get to see from Jhon.

The library thing is fascinating, I think I would like it if at the end of book 12 Jhon donated the quester library to earth, because it would then become the single largest repository of all knowledge, but that’s probably be unlikely.

The main charecters are great non combat classes. Librarian would be one of the classes I’d want to start with if I had a choice, while linguist is super useful.

Its cute how well they know eachother, even when they are doing things that ish r. Or Al for them such as the love stuff. I like seeing more as time goes on and these are cute characters.

The sad part is the mention of Lanna. It’s cool to see her take charge, and I think this takes place in between the time period where John is gone. The line “she has a thing against chocolates for some reason” is just… SO sad. Oh my gods.
