November 17th. A day that should have been ordinary became the day the world fell apart. The Collapse—a disaster unlike any other—destroyed over 80% of the population in a single stroke. Entire cities were reduced to ruins, the rules of nature were rewritten, and strange, otherworldly forces began to seep into the cracks of reality.

As he ventures deeper into this harsh new world, Silas clings to hope—a fragile, flickering light in the darkness. But when despair threatens to crush even that, he must grapple with the question: How does a man hold on to hope in a world that seems designed to take it away?

"It’s official. Death wants an heir." The announcement sent shockwaves through all realms. Who was worthy to inherit the throne of the Almighty? Debates raged as curiosity sparked fierce discussions. Mikhael, an ordinary human, had no stake in this—until he received an unexpected visitor. “Congratulations. You are Death’s son.” Hel’s words turned his world upside down. “What the hell is that supposed to mean?” “It means you get to work for me—for free. The perks? Rent-free living, one rest day a year, and a guaranteed meal every day. Sounds nice, right?” Hel clapped her hands excitedly, as if she were offering the deal of a lifetime. Mikhael was stunned. This was blatant slavery disguised as destiny. “No thanks. I like my life as it is.” “Too bad.” Hel gave a dramatic pause. “Either you work for me, or death follows you—forever.” Trapped between two of the worst choices in history, Mikhael had no idea what power awaited him. One path led to servitude, the other to something far worse. But could he defy Hel’s terms and come out on top, or would he end up as nothing more than her pawn?

In a post-apocalyptic world, you'll find four main types of people. Those who fight with all their might "the hunters." The ones who leech and exploit others "the pests." The predators, who see everyone as prey. And lastly, we have "the survivors," the resilient ones who never give up. Everyone often fits into one category, but it's hard to determine which one Maya falls into. She's not exactly a fighter, considering leaving her room was a chore even before the apocalypse. A predator? No way—she's always been a pushover. You might think she's a survivor, but that's laughable. She'd rather die from starvation than resort to scavenging. So, how should we categorize her? leeche? Nope. Perhaps a new category is needed: "The Lost"—those struggling to find their place in a shattered world."

Thank you for understanding. #darkcomedy #psychological #strategy #zombies #survival there would be one more tag here but it would be a spoiler :)
