Initium Finis- Apocalyptic Sovereign

Inspired by the SCP situation, 'When day breaks'. Go read about it. It's really good.
Please excuse my shitty attempt at purple prose, English isn't my first language. (•᷄- •᷅ ;)
This was originally a creative writing assignment, but I decided to post it. Idk.
This is my first book.. probably gonna be bad.

The sun has awoken, revealing itself as a malevolent being resembling an eye. If you make direct contact with its light long enough, your body will be altered into an amorphous, living blob of melted-flesh. The hivemind worships the sun, their minds being manipulated to viewing it akin to a god. The abominations yearn for all of biological life to join them. John is our main character, but he isn't too special. He's not an overpowered hero, just a man who needs to survive.. He despises his narcissistic and manipulative ex-boss, Christopher. Christopher was his childhood best friend, but they grew distant after Christopher had betrayed him, having done multiple..unforgiveable things. Christopher coincidentally became his boss when they were older, so he had to learn to cooperate with him and depend on him sometimes. But, after the normal, modern world had ended and the apocalypse began, they stopped seeing each other for a while.
In later chapters, they're gonna create their own survivor factions, both created and led in different ways. There'd be a total of 6 known, different factions that would be created, each led by different people.
