The world ends not with a bang, but with a job interview.
Arthur never expected much from life. That was until an AI named Farga lodged itself in his brain and told him the world had seven months before the apocalypse. It offers him an impossible choice: evolve or die. By consuming the blood of horrors yet to come, Arthur can become something more. Yet behind the help being offered, Farga is withholding something, and the countdown is already ticking.
As the world crumbles beneath the onslaught of the Tezlac, creatures that feel no pain, know no fear, and adapt too fast to combat, Arthur fights to carve out a place in a world which no longer belongs to humanity. With nothing but forged steel, a manipulative AI companion, and a kitten with no survival instincts, he walks the line between survival and ruin.
But the Tezlac are not just monstrous predators. They are a force. They are watching. And when a betrayal forces Arthur to push beyond his limits, he begins to realize that evolving might mean casting his humanity aside.
For fans of Dean Koontz, Stephen King, and post-apocalyptic thrillers like The Last of Us, Birth of the Tezlac is a brutal, fast-paced descent into a world where humanity is thrust into the chaos of a broken world without hope.
�� Perfect for readers who love:
✔️ Moral dilemmas, fast pacing, and psychological grit
✔️ Relentless creature horror with brains behind the brawn
✔️ Post-apocalyptic survival with a twist
Humanity is ending. But something else is just beginning.
