Parkour Horror

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!

Echoes of the End - [Cosmic Horror, Divine Ascension, Unraveling Fate]

In a world fractured by forgotten wars and ancient forces, Eleanor is an anomaly. While the land groans under the weight of its inevitable end, she remains untouched, an eternal presence in a realm where death claims all. The laws of nature bend around her, as she exists beyond the reach of mortality. Sealed away, hunted, or buried in time, she cannot be destroyed. Her immortality is both a blessing and a curse. Born in a forgotten village, Eleanor’s life was once simple, until the mark of something ancient awakened within her. Now, as the world crumbles beneath the weight of forgotten gods and hidden truths, she must lead a fractured humanity toward a future she can no longer fully grasp. But with each passing year, as she stands witness to the collapse of everything she knew, the cost of her eternal existence grows clearer. In a world where the end is inevitable, Eleanor’s path will take her to the very heart of destruction. Will she succumb to the darkness that calls to her, or will she become something far more terrifying than anyone could imagine? Join Eleanor as she faces the price of immortality and the horrors that lurk beyond the veil of time. What to expect: ~ A protagonist who grows from a leader of mortals to a being beyond the comprehension of her world. ~ A unique mythology and power system that blends cosmic horror with deep, world-building exploration. ~ A dark, atmospheric tone with themes of power, corruption, and the cost of immortality. ~ No romance, only the haunting journey of a leader’s descent into divinity. ~ The exploration of madness, transformation, and what it means to be human in the face of cosmic terror. ~ Chapters ranging from 500 to 1,500 words, with a focus on rich storytelling, world-building, and character development. ~ A saga that spans over 1,200 chapters, with each volume charting a new phase of Eleanor’s transformation and the world’s descent into chaos.
