Daniel only wanted an ordinary day. Classes, a bit of hanging out, then home before the rain grew heavier. But that humid afternoon became the beginning of the apocalypse. Humans began attacking humans, and the transformation happened right before his eyes. “Monsters don’t need a screen to be real.” Daniel said quietly. “And now they’re here. Everything Xavier talked about has come true.” This was not an ordinary outbreak. The colder the air, the faster they evolved. An air conditioner left running could become a death sentence. Rain was no longer a relief, but a trigger for slaughter. Trapped on the upper floors of the campus building, Daniel survives with Chania, Bianca, Xavier, and Kimberly. Five people with different fears, ways of thinking, and moral limits. Outside, the monsters grow faster. Inside, human decisions become even more dangerous. Chania said, “He almost bit us.” Daniel replied, “Not almost. He stopped being human a while ago.” This is not a story about heroes trying to save the world. This is a story about survival as the temperature continues to drop. And about one rule that cannot be negotiated. In Degrees of Death, the ones who die first are not the weak, but the hesitant.

Marcus Moon was you're typical snot-nosed brat until ten years ago, when monsters he thought were just folklore and legends, killed his father and left him cursed. For the next ten years, while others worried about prom and grades, Marcus suffered from severe pains that came every time he hadn't eaten a supernatural creature, forcing him to become a hunter.

His wish was finally granted when a hunt led him to meet another cursed teenager like him. A girl who can set herself on fire.

When hunger for blood and his humanity oppose one another, this sinking world whispers a simple truth. The path of a hero, is paved in greed.

“Look at him. Completely useless.” Whispers spread like poison as students mocked Asta. He stood alone before the crystal ball,his palms open, waiting for his family’s legendary flame. Nothing came. “No spark. Not even rookie fire. What a joke.” Laughter rang out. “I heard he killed his mother, like, he literally ate his way out from his mothers womb like a monster!” Asta trembled. “It’s not true… I saw the man in the black cloak…” The Empress rose,her eyes cold. “You worm. No flame. No worth. Get out of my sight you disgust me.” Asta walked away through jeers, to the labor pits. An old worker whispered. “They’re blind. I see the Legendary Dragon Flame in you...sleeping deep.” Asta stared at his palm. A dark smile grew. If the old man was right… he wasn’t weak. He was the strongest. When the Dragon Flame wakes, those who laughed will kneel in ashes. Did he awaken it? Did he take revenge? Dive into the fantasy to find out.

"This is madness. No. We're not going to do that at all." While saying that, he looked at the few people whose attention seemed to only be on the Tome in front of them. Somehow, he could see the greed on their faces. "Don't tell me you will do as It says? Do you know how many will suffer because of this?" "We will only try on the basis of Knowledge. What if all this, just another lie?" One of the men interrupted with an answer. "Just another lie? We all know and sane enough to realize there is a Hell where we can finally managed to escape. And all of that is the merit of the Paladin Knights. Don't you try to deny it." He replied in a harsh tone and anger almost overflowed. "But think about it? If it was real. As real as it could be. A power that could even prolong one's life." Said by another man in the group who seemed excited by the prospect of a longevity that lasted as far as the planet itself existed. ... ... Then it all ended with a choice that made him decide to leave the group. He paused, then turned to look behind him, gripping his bag tightly. “Soon… You will all regret this. All that's left are sins and guilt that you will have to bear for the rest of your life." ... ...
