Bound to Evil
They didn’t crawl out of myths, they tore their way through them. Twisted beasts, eldritch horrors, forgotten monstrosities, returning to remind humanity why even remembering their names once felt like a mistake. And worse... far worse.
The sky cracked. Fire fell. Oceans boiled. Cities bled. No warnings. No salvation. What appeared overnight was monsters and a magic system whose origins no one could explain, only guess at. A power that offered nothing for the unfortunate and the cowards, protection for the brave, and a chance to fight back for the gifted. Even the gods, silent and powerless, could only watch their dominions fall.
For Lazar, the apocalypse wasn’t terrifying. It was inconvenient. Nothing ruins carefully plotted revenge like the end of civilization.
But Lazar wasn’t like the rest. He didn’t beg, break, or cling to hope. He adapted. Cold, sarcastic, and sharp as a blade, he had already built himself for war long before the world fell apart. The skills he had honed for vengeance turned out to be exactly what survival required. And he still had a score to settle.
He walks the ruins with people cut from the same jagged stone. Survivors, killers, outliers who aren’t just tolerated—they’re chosen. Lazar doesn’t carry dead weight. He builds a pack.
They cross blood-soaked cities, twisted forests, and battlefields drowned in ash. The new world obeys one rule: evolve or die. Power comes at a cost, and hesitation gets you eaten.
But the monsters aren’t the only predators.
Some gods want their relevance back. Some humans want order. And some just want Lazar dead—because he doesn’t kneel, doesn’t follow, and doesn’t flinch.
There’s a storm coming. Bigger than the one that ended the world.
And Lazar intends to walk straight through it.

I hope you will like this novel and that you will help me improve it if you have something to criticize, I already wrote a novel in the past but I am far from being an expert after all. If you like it let me know by adding it to your library or vote for it.
I hope you have as much fun reading as I wrote, or more because the writing process is not always fun.
Good reading
