The End's Chosen (Book one)
PS: I do use AI for grammar and spelling but it is still my story and idea and I still have my own creative direction I did so it is easier for you to be able to read ... A boy wakes up in a broken world, his backpack scattered, his heart heavy with questions. The sky feels too quiet, the shadows too close. Nothing looks familiar-except the weight of betrayal already burning inside him. He doesn't know who to trust. He doesn't even know if the light that saved him is real... or just another lie. But one thing is clear: the world is falling apart, and he's the only one still standing. In a place where hope is shattered and family cuts deeper than enemies, survival isn't enough-you have to fight to keep your soul.

Shadow Archive
When the world collapsed, it wasn't war, famine, or plague that brought it down. It was words. Sentient grimoires devoured cities. Living paragraphs swallowed memories. And language itself fractured reality. Kael Orven, once a brilliant young Librarian, now roams the ruins with no past beyond the glyphs carved into his arm-glyphs that burn every time he faces a corrupted text. When he witnesses a book eat a man's face, Kael realizes something terrifying: The words remember him. And they want him back. Forced into an uneasy alliance with Lira Vein, a blind exorcist who "hears corruption," Kael enters the war between Archivists, cults, and Monarch-class Grimoires capable of rewriting the world. But every answer he finds only leads to one terrifying truth: Kael once opened the Shadow Archive... and he is the reason the world collapsed. Now the grimoires are whispering again. The Monarch is returning. And the last line of the world is already being written. To save the future, Kael must walk back into the catastrophe he created- and rewrite the story that erased him. If it doesn't erase him again first. 🔥 Perfect for fans of: dark fantasy, cosmic horror, grim magic systems, emotional duos, tragic pasts, and post-apocalyptic mystery.Complete
