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. Those who survived were left to navigate a world where power comes at a price, and despair looms around every corner.
Silas Grayson was a man who always preferred the background, someone who never sought the limelight. But when the Collapse shattered the world, it shattered Silas’s quiet existence, too. Now, in a reality that demands action, he must navigate a landscape where ruins grant strange Authorities, rulers thrive on corruption, and whispers of beings far beyond human understanding begin to surface.
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?
The Collapse didn’t just destroy the world—it created a new one. And surviving it will demand more than Silas ever thought he could give.
Author here! :) Welcome everyone who found this book! This is actually the first ever novel I created and I’m really proud of the first chapter so far. Please note that right now its only me publishing so I’m like a one man army. I hope you enjoy and have fun reading. - Sincerely, Chris.
I like this so far! It kept me guessing what kind of apocalypse it would be at first and that was really unique! Good job author!
