gritty fiction

Beneath a black sun that bleeds light into a sky without end, the Void gave birth to something it was never meant to create. Azael Voidborn—a being born of nothing, shaped by chaos, and destined to command it. From the moment his eyes opened, the world itself bent in fear. He feels no love. No pity. Only the quiet certainty that all things must kneel. In a realm of hundreds of races, from gods and demons to spirits of smoke and stone, Azael rises through endless conflict—each battle a step toward his single, merciless goal: to rule over all creation and ascend as the god of gods. Yet power births contradiction. Amid the blood, betrayal, and shattered heavens, he discovers a feeling he cannot crush—love. Three women, bound to his destiny, threaten to turn his cold ambition into something dangerous: desire, longing… weakness. As kingdoms fall and cosmic horrors stir in the dark between worlds, the boy born of the Void must decide what kind of god he will become— a tyrant who devours all light, or the shadow that gives it meaning. ⸻ Tags: Dark Fantasy • Romance • Anti-Hero • Gods & Demons • Fast-Paced Action • Gritty Worldbuilding • Power Ascension

After moving from Detroit to a new life in Manhattan under the care of a family friend, seventeen-year-old Yohan finds himself restless and struggling to let go of his past. His search for a quiet place to smoke leads him into a dimly lit park, where his solitary night is interrupted by five local youths intent on intimidation.

When a fast‑moving viral outbreak turns ordinary people into raging flesh-eating creatures in a store parking lot, eleven-year-old Isabella and her seven-year-old brother Mateo end up trapped in their family minivan after watching their mother die horribly in front of them. With the infected outside, no van keys, and almost no supplies, they’re left with an impossible choice: slowly starve in the van, die of hypothermia, or risk everything to reach the keys lying near their mother’s corpse. But the monsters outside aren't the only things tormenting Isabella. She is haunted by her memories of every harsh word she threw at her mother and every time she was mean to her little brother. Now, to keep Mateo alive, she is forced to use the very lessons her mother tried to teach her: discipline, patience, and selflessness. Lessons Isabella ignored when her mother was alive, and which now serve as a bitter, daily reminder of what she lost. What to expect: ⸭  Claustrophobic Survival: The van is their shelter, their prison, and their whole world. Every decision, such as when to move, when to stay, when to open a door, can kill them.  ⸭  The Weight of Guilt: This isn't just about surviving zombies; it's about surviving yourself. Isabella’s character arc is defined by the regret of being a "brat" when life was normal, and the painful realization that her mother was right all along.  ⸭  Child POV, Adult Stakes: The main characters are kids with no superpowers. Their fears are real, and they have to grow up fast, navigating a world that punishes every mistake.  ⸭  Psychology over Power Fantasy: Hypothermia, hunger, and fear hit harder than jump scares. There is no leveling up, no system, and no upgrade screen coming to save anyone. Notes: ⸭ Plot lines and different events were brainstormed and developed by me, my wife, and my two kids ⸭  Cover art and any chapter art were generated with Galaxy.AI and edited in Canva
