Step into a universe on the brink of rebirth and annihilation, where the very fabric of existence has been torn asunder. In Calamity Tribulation, the long-forbidden Primordial World has been unexpectedly reopened, unleashing waves of creation and destruction across the cosmos. Beings of the Source Star are thrust into a reality where the order of the universe collapses, all paths sink into ruin, and life teeters on the edge of extinction. Innocent lives are swept into the tide of chaos, while powerful forces rise, challenging the very essence of existence itself.
The story spans multiple eras, beginning with the cataclysmic opening of the Primordial World, moving through the rise of awakened beings, the emergence of aberrant monstrosities, and the collapse of interstellar order. Each era escalates the stakes, propelling readers through an intricate web of cosmic intrigue, survival struggles, and philosophical reflection. The universe itself is a character: from the boundless starry heavens and ruined continents to the hidden depths of the Primordial World, every setting brims with mystery, danger, and wonder. The attention to world-building ensures readers feel fully immersed, experiencing both awe and dread as they traverse the vastness of space and the complexity of the Source Star's ecology.
What sets Calamity Tribulation apart is its seamless blend of high-stakes adventure, cosmic horror, and philosophical depth. It is not merely a story of power, conflict, and destruction-it is an exploration of survival, choice, morality, and the responsibilities that come with godlike abilities. Through grand battles, intricate character development, interstellar intrigue, and relentless tension, readers are drawn into a universe that challenges both the imagination and the intellect. In this world, "Without madness, there is no survival... and only through madness can one awaken."
This is a second view point from my original story - A Different Virus - Heartfire. I highly advise reading the original book first.
Intro:
Laura was a happy child without a care in the world. She loved her parents and life was perfect. Nothing seemed like it could go wrong.
People started talking about a bad flu that was spreading and sending some into a coma. Her parents grew worried and stocked the house in case of a pandemic.
Months later another virus appeared. Her family was shocked when the news people started reporting that zombies were actually real and not just part of a horror movie. They were appearing in every country. Her parents reassured her that none of the zombie sightings had been anywhere close to them.
Her life is turned upside down when her father ends up in hospital with the bad flu and mother exiles her upstairs for her safety. She was never allowed downstairs again. Weeks pass and the streets become deserted with the exception of the red eyed zombies that wandered around.
One night she notices a swiftly moving figure with glowing blue eyes in the street below. Should she call out or remain silent? Is this fleeting shadow something that can help her or could this mysterious figure be even more dangerous than the zombies themselves?
