Lightning Curse

The world has always feared zombies—mindless, rotting husks that spread like a plague. But what if one of them could think? What if one of them could evolve? Gufran wakes up in a ruined village, surrounded by the undead. His body is decayed, his instincts scream for flesh, yet his mind is intact—more than intact, it’s awakening. He remembers nothing except his name. He should be like the others, a mindless husk, yet something inside him is different. As he feeds, he begins to change, his body growing stronger, his hunger sharpening his power. Soon, Gufran realizes he can control other zombies. He is not just another monster—he is a king in the making. And he is starving. But the world he awakens in is cruel and broken. Magic exists, but only in women, who are branded as witches and hunted like animals. The rulers blame them for the zombie plague, twisting the truth to maintain control. The real secret? Magic is the source of all life—and all death. Gufran was once human. He knows it. And deep down, he still wants to be. But as he leads his horde, feeding on the magic-infused hearts of humans, he discovers something far greater than a cure: power. In a world where humans call themselves civilized yet butcher their own, where witches are persecuted for their gifts, and where the undead are seen as nothing but mindless corpses, Gufran will build something new. A kingdom of the dead. They called it a plague. He will call it evolution. And humanity? It has always been cursed.

Akondo lived a very normal life until that day after his 18th birthday. What initially seemed like a heart attack rapidly turned into a nightmare as he was informed about an overwhelming power—the ability to consume souls by taking over another person's body. His first victim, unfortunately, was his mother. Unable to understand this terrifying ability now controlling his life, Akondo realizes he has to feed on a soul every 24 hours just to survive. Though he tries to fight against the temptation in the beginning, each day the humanity in him chips away. The more he uses his power, the more Akondo starts to lose himself to the darkness within. What starts as an attempt to survive slowly turns into something far more sinister. His compassion dries up, and the once-compassionate young man feels nothing but hunger. The weight of each consumed soul warps his mind further and further, inching him closer to madness. Akondo's moral compass shatters, and soon he crosses a line, turning into a remorseless serial killer. This is a story of how Akondo descends into darkness, whereby his struggle to survive takes him down a path from which there may not be any return, and from which only death can completely stop him. Who will stop him, then? Perhaps somebody has the counter to that move.

With no horn to defend herself, her ethereal beauty becomes a double-edged sword, drawing the attention of suitors from all walks of life: a cunning nobleman seeking a trophy wife, a dashing rogue who claims to see through her icy demeanor, a stoic knight who pledges undying loyalty, and even a mysterious mage who suspects her otherworldly origins.
