ALL THE STANDARD WARNINGS (please read):

I'm writing this book as a challenge where I make an entire story out of only battle scenes... THERE IS AN ACTUAL STORYLINE, I SWEAR.

This is a collection of battle scenes, so there's going to be graphic violence. Don't read it if you're not comfortable with blood, torture, death, and such. Most of the beginning scenes aren't actually that bad (unless it's Jake), but keep this in mind for later on. There won't be any sexual themes or stuff like that.

The first five-ish chapters read more like a series of one-shots, since they all introduce different characters, but I promise they’ll connect and form an actual story. I’m just trying to reduce the number of random encounters and filler fights, since they aren’t nearly as interesting as seeing two or more of the characters fight each other.

There are LGBT+ characters — namely a nonbinary main character and a genderfluid side character — but there aren’t any LGBT+ romances. In fact, seeing as it’s a fight scene book, there aren’t any romances (...probably). In addition, this takes place in a world where discrimination on the basis of race, gender, sexuality, etcetera just aren’t a thing. I’m not trying to imply that these problems don’t exist, or that they shouldn’t be tackled in literature, but there’s enough drama in this world already and I like to write it as a bit of an escape from all that.

If you see glaring similarities to another story, please tell me. Everything is original and belongs to me. Don't plagiarize this anywhere, by any means (except for small quotes and stuff, you know the drill) or I will send an army of evil characters after you. And trust me, you don't want to meet some of the characters in this book.

Keep arms, hands, feet, legs and elbows inside the vehicle at all times, take small children by the hand, keep your safety belt fastened, no smoking, do not copy each others' paperwork, stow carry on items underneath the seat in front of you, keep tray tables in the upright and locked position, no flash photography, I am not responsible for loss of personal items, enter at your own risk, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.

Constructive criticism is always appreciated!! (Especially for something weird like this.) Let me know (nicely) if it's terrible, or hopefully, let me know if you like it. I'm not particularly sensitive as long as you're not trying to be a jerk, so don't be afraid to give me feedback.

With all that said, I hope you enjoy Apocalypse!

[This is a re-upload, since I changed a bunch of things from the original, including the order of a lot of chapters, and I decided it was easier to just make a new story than it was to try to fix it all in the old one.]
