ERROR 001: Mercy not Found

In every apocalypse story Zane ever read, humanity always evolved—unlocking powers just in time to survive. But when the real apocalypse struck, nothing happened. No miracles. No abilities. Just silence, death, and the slow unraveling of civilization. Born into one of the most powerful families on Earth—the second, unwanted son of the President of the United States—Zane should’ve lived a life of prestige. Instead, he was a secret—an embarrassment his father kept hidden. Ignored at home. Bullied at school. Invisible to the world. When the world fell apart, people clung to status and power to survive. Zane was cast into Zone F—the lowest of the low—while his family escaped to the fortified haven of Zone SS+. It was a death sentence. But fate had other plans. A spatial rift opened. A monster emerged. Just as Zane braced for the end, he was pulled through a portal—dragged before one of the most powerful beings in the universe. There, in a realm beyond time and pain, he was broken, rebuilt, and reborn. Trained to kill. Forged into a weapon. Now he’s back—a walking disaster. No longer weak. No longer invisible. And no longer merciful. After a lifetime of being cast aside, why would he save anyone? Why show mercy to those who never gave him a second glance? Can a world that never showed mercy survive a man who has forgotten how to give it? ERROR 001: Mercy Not Found The apocalypse was just the beginning. Zane Walker became the end.
