Wraith of the Wastelands
In the ruins of civilization, where survival is a brutal game of wit and violence, one man thrives-not despite the chaos, but because of it. Dorian Vex never fit in before the world ended. Society had rules, expectations, and limits, all of which he despised. But after the Collapse-a viral outbreak that turned most of the population into mindless husks-Vex finally found his purpose. With no laws, no morality, and no one to stop him, he carves a path through the wasteland, taking what he wants and eliminating anyone who gets in his way. Yet even monsters attract attention. A group of survivors, led by a former military officer named Lory, has heard of Vex's trail of destruction. They see him as a threat that must be neutralized. But Vex sees them as something else entirely-entertainment. As he plays his deadly game of cat and mouse, the lines between predator and prey blur. And when a shadow from his past emerges, one of the few people who truly understands the darkness inside him, Vex is forced to confront the one thing he's always avoided: his own nature. In a world where the strong rule and the weak perish, can a man with no conscience truly be stopped? Or is he the future of humanity's remains?Complete
