The Apocalypse Is a Side Quest, Book Two

Posted on 20 October 2025 by audiobb_com

Some heroes save the world. Nathan’s busy fixing the irrigation system.

Nathan—the apocalypse’s strongest man with an inexplicable talent for fishing—has a problem with priorities. After being separated from his allies during the final battle of the first circle, he’s trapped in the second circle—an endless desert wasteland where survivors have cobbled together a fragile kingdom on the brink of collapse. And there’s something worse hiding in the dunes: the Dustend, a magical storm strong enough to rip through Nathan’s Constitution like tissue paper.

The main goal is obvious: avoid the arcane tempest and find his way to the Third Circle before it’s too late.

But Nathan’s attention? Thoroughly elsewhere.

There’s a dying city-state to save, with farms to repair (the blue window promised him XP!), political factions to navigate, and a gang war between magical fish that desperately needs his intervention. Will the countless hours Nathan spent on farming simulators back on Earth somehow save a people on the brink? Or will his remarkable talent for getting distracted by optional objectives finally lead him fish-first into oblivion?
