Hey there! I came across this sub and thought this book may just belong.

Cover Artist: Huu Ha

Here is the bio: Noah had a vision of the end.

He gave up everything to prepare for it: his career, his reputation, his old life. When the apocalypse finally arrives and the System floods Earth with mana, Noah is dropped in the wilderness with almost none of what he stockpiled.

At least he was right.

Unfortunately, being right does not make him ready. Earth has been dragged into a new cosmic hierarchy where humanity starts below every other species, and Noah’s hard-earned survival skills can only carry him so far.

To change the future he saw, Noah must survive the induction, learn who to trust, and prove humanity is worth more than the universe decided.

Book 1

Nuke sandbox. Pick a warhead, pick how you're delivering it, watch it fly across a real map and then watch the fallout drift with actual wind data. The bit I got obsessed with was making the death toll accumulate over days instead of just popping a number on screen, so blast and burns and radiation all come in at different times. Runs off declassified scaling laws and a real population grid. All offline, no account, no ads. Link in the comments.

I have been wanting to write a fairly short story in a post apocalyptic setting, and I have been struggling to figure out what kind of apocalypse would fit it best. I am writing this for fun and while I think a few apocalypses could work I figured I'd see what you all think would fit best. The story requires the apocalypse to cause chaos and disconnection. (Something that scatters people and leaves them with few to no communication methods to find each other) I am also wanting it to be something that would make the setting feel empty when traveling within it. If anyone has any suggestions or methods they'd recommend I'd love to hear it.

Sorry if this is not the right subreddit/tag

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some advice from people who know survival and realistic post-apocalyptic scenarios.

I'm writing a near-future post-apocalyptic novel and also developing a survival game. I figured this community would probably have the most realistic perspective.

I have a few questions:

1. Medications Which medications would still be reasonably effective after being stored for about six years past their expiration date? I'm not looking for perfect medical accuracy, just what's considered realistically plausible in a survival situation.
2. Supermarket food My protagonist discovers an abandoned supermarket that has been untouched for six years. Which foods would still realistically be edible or at least worth taking? I'm assuming there has been no refrigeration or maintenance.
3. Autonomous farm I also want the protagonist to discover a fully automated farm powered by solar panels. The farm automatically harvests crops, and if they aren't collected within a certain time, they're transported to an underground storage area for disposal.

Do you think it's realistic that any part of such a system could still be functioning after six years with no human maintenance? Or would rodents, insects, mechanical failures, dust, weather, and general wear almost certainly have caused the whole system to fail long before then?

I'm aiming for as much realism as possible, so I'd really appreciate hearing your thoughts or examples from real-world experience.

Thanks!

CATS AMONG THE HUNGRY DEAD

VOLUME 1: THE GREAT CHANGE

A massive pandemic ravaged the entire world. The dead rose, running to catch and devour any living being pumping blood.

Humanity faced this apocalypse in bunkers, prisons, and shopping malls... but what happened to their pets?

Mishi, Jenny, and the little Wood, along with a group of stray cats, will try to survive "The Great Change" the day the "no furs" turned into "crazies" and began hunting everything in their path... including cats. Now, they must all unite to abandon the city and reach the great white mountain, where they believe they will be safe.

In a world where chaos has begun, the cats will have to start questioning their new place on this earth.

------------------

Yes, it's basically a zombie apocalypse... but from a cat's perspective.

They're zombies, or the living dead, but cats don't understand those words, so for them, these creatures are simply "the crazies." And they're indestructible. Destroying their brains won't stop them, because they're already dead... and you can't kill what's already dead.

The virus that caused all this isn't transmitted by bites. Its origin is unknown. All humans were already infected long before, but the virus remained dormant... until death. Only then does it activate, turning them into fast, monstrous, and unstoppable creatures: zombies that run, climb, and never stop.

I'm working to bring this project to life, and it's progressing well so far, so I thought I'd share it here to see what you think. I'm currently sorting out some legal issues so I can launch a crowdfunding campaign! It will probably take some time, but it's coming along nicely c:

I really love the idea of ​​an alternate cover in a live-action style :D

I hope you like it! :))
