Horizon Zero Dawn Erend And Aloy

Fractured Horizon: Shadows of the Apocalypse

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. -------------------------------------------- Support the Author: Please use coins/stones/golden tickets, or review my novel!

A Love Beyond The Horizon

In the glittering world of 19th-century high society, where marriage is a strategic affair and personal desires are secondary to duty, Eleanor Hawthorne stands at the precipice of her future. Beautiful, poised, and well-bred, she is the epitome of a noblewoman, bound by the expectations of her family and society to marry well. Her every step is carefully calculated, her every decision weighed against the demands of propriety. But beneath her composed exterior, Eleanor feels trapped by a life that values social standing over personal happiness. At a grand winter ball, as Eleanor dances with suitor after suitor, her world shifts when she shares an unexpected, electric waltz with Jonathan Ashford, a mysterious and charismatic man with a past that doesn't fit the mold of the elite around her. Jonathan, a man who has seen the world beyond the gilded cages of aristocracy, awakens something in Eleanor that she has long buried: a longing for freedom, passion, and the possibility of a life that is her own. As the ball unfolds, Eleanor is forced to confront the reality of her situation—her well-meaning but controlling Aunt Agatha, who pressures her to marry for social standing; the wealthy but emotionally distant Lord Hargrave, who sees her as a perfect match in name, if not in heart; and the expectations of a society that demands conformity. Yet, it is Jonathan’s presence—his quiet defiance of societal norms and his deep connection to Eleanor—that challenges her to reconsider the life that has been laid out for her. Torn between her duty to her family and the growing feelings for Jonathan, Eleanor embarks on a journey of self-discovery. She must navigate the treacherous waters of love, duty, and desire while deciding what kind of woman, and what kind of life, she truly wants. In The Winter Waltz, the dance of love is more than a step to be mastered—it is a risk, a choice, and a chance to break free from a world that demands perfection in exchange for happiness.

The Cruel Horizon

Shadows stretch longer, whispers grow louder, and the world of Obinai Nobunaga, a teen trying to figure out his place in the world begins to unravel in ways that defy understanding… *whispering frantically, their voice trembling* “They’re… they’re dead. They’re all dead. I don’t… how did this happen? How could this happen?” *pausing, breathing heavily, pacing* “No, no, no, no, no. This can’t—this can’t be my fault. I didn’t… I wouldn’t… I couldn’t have done it. Right? Right?” *laughing nervously, almost hysterically* “I mean, it’s not like I just—no! No, stop it! Think. Think! There has to be an explanation. There has to be!” *voice breaking, barely above a whisper* “But what if it was me? What if… what if I did this? Oh God… oh God, what have I done?” *slumping to the ground, gripping their head* “Why can’t I remember? Why can’t I—” sobbing now “I didn’t mean to… I’m sorry…I’m so sorry…” Those who dare to hope must ask: When you strip away the comforting lies, will you embrace the shards of truth—or bleed by their edge? This novel is a mix of fantasy and and light sci-fi that explores dark themes. I can’t say much but it’s all a journey…a messy one…but a journey all the same. Come and observe the main character as he progresses…to rid himself of someone…and uncover the secrets of this world. Hope you Enjoy :) (Updates are 1 chapter a day...This is also on Royal Road and ScribbleHub...review it there too)
