Strain

Gawain awoke to find himself in a pitch-black, cramped space, surrounded by the faint scent of decay. As he reached out, fingers brushing against the cold stone walls, memories of drifting above an unfamiliar land for eons slowly returned. For tens of thousands of years, he had existed as a bodiless spirit, an invisible observer of time and space, with only his thoughts for company. The endless solitude had nearly erased his sense of self. But today, he felt something new—touch. He had finally acquired a body, a physical form. Yet, this “container” felt ominously wrong. Though he longed for a body, he hadn’t expected it to come in the form of something sealed in a coffin. How he came to inhabit this vessel was a mystery, but he knew one thing for certain: he was currently entombed in a burial box. With a bitter laugh, he realized his journey as a “complete” traveler across worlds would begin by clawing his way out of a grave—not exactly the rebirth he’d imagined. Using all his newfound strength, Gawain struggled to push open the heavy coffin lid. His unused muscles ached and strained, but the sensation of real, physical power thrilled him. After several attempts, he finally dislodged the stone cover, letting a thin ray of light pierce the darkness. “At last… a glimpse of the world again.”

'From the ashes we shall rise.' Summary : Compound-Z. The bioweapon developed by China, using an ancient virus strain discovered beneath the Ice Sheets in Tibet’s Guliya Glacier. An outbreak in the bioweapons facility infected the whole city. The City could not be taken back but thankfully the PLA destroyed the whole city before the zombie virus could spread. The problem; after a year, the samples of Compound-Z was found being auctioned in the Bioweapon black market. Before Clayton Nord shut the whole thing down the moment he first discovered it, an unknown number of global players had already gotten hold of the sample, Russia among them. Now all of them are working to find the cure to the Compound-Z, because anyone who has the cure will have huge power and influence over the world, using the cure as leverage. Now Russia is threatening to release Compound-Z into major population centers in the world as they are losing the war with Ukraine. After a thorough analysis of the consequences of the Compound-Z being released into the world, Clayton Nord forms Operation Phoenix to prepare the US for the possibility of a world wide zombie apocalypse. He does everything he can to make sure that some of human civilization survives through the crisis without losing all of humanity's progress over the years. MILESTONES: OPERATION PHOENIX must hit certain milestones to encourage me to continue after the first month. The milestones are to be passed by the end of the month. And they are: Gain 30 readers following/collections by the end of November . Gain a 50 favorites/power stones by the end of November. Gain 20 reviews and ratings by the end of November. For the First Month these are the Milestones that must be passed to encourage me to continue the story. There is no requirement to support me by sponsoring the work with money for the first month but it would help greatly, for me to focus on writing the Novel. What to expect: Crazy action scenes with zombies. People like to read more about the first outbreaks through an ordinary person’s POV the moment the outbreak occurs. So in Phase One you can read the outbreak stories through multiple viewpoints in various places. Phase One would have the largest word count because of that. And some characters may not live through Phase One. Zombies are the antagonists but there will be other fleshed out human antagonists that pose a serious threat to Operation Phoenix further into the story. You will get to see the moment at start when the outbreak happens till the Zombie apocalypse ends. The struggle Clayton Nord, as commander of Operation Phoenix, faces to ensure that most of the population of the USA survives through the apocalypse, a task that is almost impossible. Rich world building and lore with unique characters. Plan for the Novel: New chapters are released every Monday. I will try to keep the timing consistent. At the end of the series I want to convert it into an ebook to sell on Amazon. The end product might be different than the chapters I have published as I try to improve upon them. Thank You so much for spending your time reading my work. You can support me via https://ko-fi.com/hughstarling

As their powers grow stronger and the lines between loyalty and love blur, Seraphina and Azrael must confront their deepest fears and darkest secrets. Can they resist the pull of their forbidden bond, or will their love be the key to salvation—or destruction? Excerpt: A Glimpse into the Future The battlefield was silent, the echoes of the war they had fought fading into the night. Seraphina stood before Azrael, her heart pounding, her mind racing with emotions she could no longer suppress. The flicker of dying flames illuminated the space between them, casting shadows on their weary faces. “I can't keep pretending anymore, Azrael,” she whispered, her voice barely audible over the soft wind that swept through the ruins. Her hands trembled as she took a hesitant step forward. “This war, this fight… it’s torn me apart. But what hurts the most is knowing that, despite everything, I—” “Don’t say it,” Azrael interrupted, his voice strained. He looked away, clenching his fists. His demonic eyes flashed with an intensity that made her heart ache. “If you say it, I won’t be able to stop myself. I won’t be able to walk away.” Seraphina took another step, her eyes never leaving his. “Maybe I don’t want you to walk away.” Azrael’s breath caught in his throat. Slowly, he turned to face her, his mask of cold indifference cracking. His hand reached out, trembling slightly, as his fingers grazed her cheek. “Seraphina… I’ve fought it for so long. I’ve told myself you’re my enemy, that we could never—” “But we’re not enemies anymore,” Seraphina interrupted, her voice soft but firm. She closed the distance between them, placing her hand over his. “We’re something else. Something… more.” Azrael swallowed hard, his gaze locked on hers. “I’ve loved you from the moment I realized I couldn’t destroy you. And every day since, I’ve fought that love, afraid of what it would mean. But now… I can’t fight it anymore.” Tears welled up in Seraphina’s eyes as she whispered, “Then don’t.” Their lips met in a kiss filled with the weight of everything they had been through—the battles, the betrayals, the bloodshed—and the promise of everything they could become. But as their love ignited, the distant rumble of thunder echoed in the distance, a dark reminder that their war was far from over. ****End of Excerpt***** Can their love truly survive the chaos that threatens to consume both realms?
