After Worlds

What Comes After?

What comes after the end? The inescapable void? A relentless darkness where hope is nothing but a distant memory? Who do you trust when you can’t even trust yourself? When the echoes of your past mistakes haunt every step, and the shadows seem to whisper your deepest fears? I asked myself these questions before and after Z-day. I ask them every waking moment, but the answers never come. They never have, and I don’t think they ever will. In a world stripped of its humanity, where survival is the only law, the truth feels like a luxury we can no longer afford. I know that those left behind are the worst of humanity—the scavengers, the betrayers, the ones who have embraced the darkness. But there are also others who fell at the last minute, those who clung to their last shreds of decency before the end swallowed them whole. Some are burdened with crimes that seem small compared to the horrors that now plague the earth, yet the punishment is the same for us all. The doctrine says that sin is sin, no matter the good intentions behind it. I guess they were right. This world is unforgiving, and it doesn’t care about the reasons that led us here. Do I hate it here? Yes, I do. Every breath I take in this poisoned air is a reminder of what we’ve lost. Do I regret being here? Of course not, because I have a sister to protect. She’s my only tether to what’s left of my humanity, my only reason to keep fighting when everything else has been reduced to ash. My name is Paul Okonkwo, and I will get her safely through this hell on earth, even if it’s the last thing I do. No matter what this broken world throws at us, no matter how deep I have to sink into the darkness, I will be the shield that keeps her safe. Because in the end, that’s all that matters—keeping her alive, keeping her safe, even if it means sacrificing what little is left of myself.

Torn between worlds

In a realm where humans and vampires are bound by an uneasy truce, Aurora Wynters, a fierce vampire hunter, lives for vengeance. Ever since losing her family to bloodthirsty vampires, she has trained with a mysterious group of hunters, sworn to rid the world of their monstrous enemy. But her unyielding resolve is tested when a fateful encounter leads her to the heart of Darkhaven, the vampire kingdom ruled by the enigmatic and ruthless Prince Zach Darkhaven. Zach, the eldest of three brothers, is destined to inherit the throne and shoulder the burdens of his fractured kingdom. Cold and commanding, he has buried his kindness deep beneath the expectations of leadership. Yet, when Aurora is brought to him as a prisoner, her defiance and fiery spirit ignite something within him that he thought long dead: a spark of hope—and perhaps love. Caught between her vow to destroy vampires and the growing connection with the prince who is supposed to be her enemy, Aurora must navigate a labyrinth of betrayal, political intrigue, and forbidden desires. Her captivity sets off a chain of events that not only threatens Zach’s reign but also the fragile balance of the entire realm. As Zach struggles to protect Aurora from his conniving brother Elian, envious allies like Kayla, and the ever-growing human threat, Aurora faces her own battles. Can she trust her heart with a man who embodies everything she despises? And can their bond survive the secrets, conspiracies, and betrayals that surround them? "You make me question everything, Aurora," Zach murmured, his voice low and rough, as if he hated himself for the admission. His hand brushed against her cheek, lingering as if tethered by an unseen force. "You shouldn’t be here. I shouldn’t want you... but I do." In this tale of love and war, where blood is currency and alliances are fragile, Aurora and Zach must decide if their love is worth defying fate—and tearing their worlds apart.
