Apocalypse Archer

by Tim Kaiver

Overview

Surviving the apocalypse with only a bow and backpack sounds like fun to Viera. Until someone tries to kill her.
She only wanted a weekend alone with her bow, but an explosion over the city sent a cloud of energy into the mountain campground. Now she's stranded and has a strange message that assigns her the class of Level 1 Archer, and tells her to align with light or darkness.

Choosing either will leave her with enemies who will stop at nothing to take everything from her: her weapons, her gear, her life.

Will she find an ally and follow the game's instructions, or die in the first few minutes of the apocalypse?

Apocalypse Archer is a novelette entry into Tim Kaiver's Ciphercraft series of Science-Fantasy LitRPGs written for RealRPG fans of Tao Wong, Blaise Corvin and Dave Willmarth. LitRPG elements include leveling up, healing and survivalist strategies, gameworld PvE, and quest adventures to discover the realm behind reality and the monsters that come through to present day. No harem or foul language, but has moments of extreme violence.

Apocalypse Archer can be read as a standalone, but the events within take place between Books 1 and 2 of the Ciphercraft series.

About the Author

Tim Kaiver is an old-school gamer who writes Sci-Fi/Fantasy LitRPG. His Cipher's Quest novel is RealRPG inspired by Final Fantasy VI's mix of magic and low-tech society, Stargate's exploration of myth and galactic consequences, and grows into what he loved about the world of Dragonlance and the first Warcraft games where it was fun to chop wood and build your army. Book two, Windwalker takes them on a portal journey from modern-day mayhem to a race through a Fantasy realm in search of a lost city. The third book, Resurrection City is releasing May 2021.

Podium produces the audio of this series with the super talented Ryan Burke as narrator.

He's also writing a couple other LitRPG books.

Dreadlord Wizard is a humorous dark fantasy ode to his love of Raistlin in Dragonlance, if Raistlin was an 18-year-old dork who got sucked into a real MMORPG with the fate of worlds in the balance. You know, like almost exactly like Dragonlance, lol. This series is under contract and will publish soon.

On the backburner is Skateboarder Samurai, another RealRPG set in an alternate Earth where dual classes are given powers by the alien Overrulers to compete for humanity's survival in a worldwide round-robin tournament.

Editorial Reviews

This novelette ties into the larger world of the Ciphercraft and the galaxy-wide struggle against the Osuna empire. But by focusing on one protagonist, the intensity factor is ratcheted up and we understand her struggles by seeing them through her point of view....once you've read this, you will be tempted to learn more about this universe. Having read other stories by this author, I know for a fact that you will.

So I got this book from Tim as a street read and gotta day I was sucked in pretty fast into this world. Very interesting and good flowing bits I gave feedback and it seemed like they took it to heart and can not wait to read this series!

Give it a shot!

Having read Ciphers quest I was surprised by the different feel to this companion novel.
I really enjoyed it and the depth it added to o e of my favourite books of the year.
Really looking forward to the next full book coming out, but I'm glad I picked this up.
