Nova City, Earth - 2,150 A.D 

Ryne, an athletic teenager with a penchant for parkour, is trying his best to survive in a world that does nothing but punish him.

Haunted by the sudden death of his mother six years prior, Ryne’s father forced him and his sister to move to the neglected and financially disadvantaged district known only as ‘Fracture’. Within this unforgiving environment, Ryne endures physical abuse from his father and psychological torment from his peers. All the while fiercely protecting his vulnerable younger sister.

Just as hope fades, Ryne’s life takes an unexpected turn when he encounters Brad and his group, kindred spirits who share his passion for parkour. As their friendship deepens, Ryne finds a sense of family among his fellow inhabitants of Fracture.

However, a mysterious voice whispered in Ryne’s ears.

[The apocalypse is imminent, one month remains.]

With time running out, he must hold on to hope in the face of despair. As the countdown to annihilation unfolds, the mysterious voice sets various tasks for Ryne. When the time ticks down to zero, people across the globe manifest bizarre and extraordinary abilities while the rest of humanity transforms into grotesque and monstrous creatures.

Ryne must confront his inner demons and make a choice—cling to the flickering ember of hope or succumb to the overwhelming despair surrounding him—all the while navigating a landscape plagued by mutant beings.

Author's Note:
As you may know, I'm also the author of My Undeath, a reincarnation novel set in a fantasy world. It wasn't my best work, but I loved writing the story.
I put a lot more time and effort into Fractured Horizon, and ironed out the details over the course of a year before writing and publishing it here. If you liked My Undeath, this novel has almost ten times more planning put into it before release.
-----------------------------------------------------
Schedule: 7-15 chapters per week
Chapter Length 1,000-2,000 words
Disclaimers:
1. The 'Earth' in this world is not as we know it to be. Applying common sense is pointless.
2. There are not any planned harems.
3. Increasing powers/strength in this novel will feel similar to cultivation, but this is not a cultivation novel.
4. These creatures aren't zombies as you know them and will not be called such by the characters, but that's all I will say here.
-------------------------------------------- 
Themes: fantasy, science fiction, zombie-like mutated creatures, adventure, dark, horror, survival.
--------------------------------------------
Inspiration:
Resident Evil definitely inspired the world. Growing up, I played the Resident Evil games and watched the movies. All of The Walking Dead never entertained me because it was mostly drama and hardly any tension. 28 Days/Weeks later, Resident Evil, World War Z, Army of the Dead, Train to Busan, All of us are Dead, Z Nation, etc. are all cemented in my brain as thrilling pieces of zombie fiction.
