Ground Zero is a dark fantasy novel centered around Leon Evergreen, a young man who becomes trapped in a permanent reincarnation game called Ground Zero, developed by the mysterious company Alviant. Upon entering the game, Leon is reborn as Alexander Stein, losing all connection to the real world.
Alexander possesses a rare and terrifying ability called Afterlife, which activates upon his death. This ability resurrects him after death, but with a cruel twist-he feels the pain of every past death all at once with each revival. Unbeknownst to the world, only Alexander possesses this ability, making him a figure of great mystery and danger.
As Alexander struggles to survive and understand his place in this world, factions react to his unexplained survivals:
The Wardens hunt him, believing his repeated survivals are unnatural.
The Glitchborn sense something different about him, drawn by his anomaly.
The Forsaken are lost souls bound to pain, visible only to Alexander, and they seek to teach him how to harness his torment-or be consumed by it.
The world itself holds secrets tied to the origins of Ground Zero and the true nature of Afterlife. Alexander must uncover the truth while mastering his deadly gift, balancing the risk of losing his humanity with the need to survive.
Themes of pain, perseverance, and identity drive Alexander's journey as he fights to control his power while factions close in, questioning whether he's a hero, a monster, or something far worse.

They face limited resources, hostile terrain, and their own inner demons as they fight not only to survive, but to build a future on this desolate planet. With tensions rising, secrets from the Arc threaten to tear the group apart just when they need unity the most. In the chaos of survival, they must decide what kind of world they will build amidst the echoes of the past-and whether they can hold onto their humanity in the process.
