The Chosen Below
In the shadowed underbelly of a world driven by power and greed, Samatar, a struggling man from Kenya, navigates the harsh realities of a broken system. Once a fitness instructor with dreams of a better life, he now survives on the fringes of society, scraping by in a city that offers no mercy to those who fall behind.
Unbeknownst to him, a global network of elites—powerful figures who operate in secrecy—has begun a sinister project. Across the world, they recruit the brightest scientists to create enhanced human beings: soldiers and servants designed to enforce their will and dominate the underworld. These experiments push the boundaries of science, turning ordinary people into weapons of mass destruction.
When Samatar stumbles upon a mysterious meeting, he unknowingly steps into the orbit of this dangerous world. As his life intertwines with their plans, he finds himself caught between survival and something far greater. With nothing left to lose, Samatar must decide whether to fight for his freedom or become a pawn in a game far beyond his understanding.
In a story of resilience and transformation, Samatar’s journey begins in the quiet corners of Nairobi, but it will take him to places he never imagined—both within himself and in a world teetering on the edge of chaos.
