The Predatory Gene

scizk
Seong Jiwon is perfect. A top student, an elite athlete, a flawless son. His every move is calculated, his every word rehearsed. People adore him, but they don’t see the truth—because there is nothing to see. He feels nothing. No love, no guilt, no fear. But there is one thing he craves: the rush of taking a life. He’s careful. He’s patient. His first kill is a masterpiece—silent, precise, untraceable. The perfect crime. But just as he begins to enjoy his newfound purpose, something disrupts his carefully crafted world. A second body turns up. A copy of his work. Jiwon is certain of one thing: he didn’t do it. As he hunts down the impostor, he discovers the horrifying truth—his victim wasn’t the only prey in his life. He wasn’t even the predator’s firstborn. His mother, the woman who raised him to be perfect, has been creating monsters like him for years. And one of them is already watching him. A twisted game of deception, control, and survival begins, where blood ties mean nothing, and only the strongest predator will walk away alive. Because in the end, there’s only one rule in a family like his: Kill, or be killed.

Dustbound Prophecies

Ḥamād, a soldier scarred by tragedy, thought death would bring an end to his pain. Instead, he awakens in a desolate, unfamiliar world where the sands whisper ancient secrets and the moonlight carries otherworldly power. This is no ordinary afterlife—it is a realm teeming with monstrous creatures, humanoid predators with wolf-like heads, and djinn wielding immense yet enigmatic powers. Ḥamād's new body, however, bears a sinister legacy: it once belonged to a shayṫān, a being despised across dimensions as a harbinger of destruction. Haunted by this revelation, he must uncover the mysteries of his own identity while battling the prejudices that come with his inherited form.

At the heart of it all lies a chilling question: can a man with such a cursed body ever find peace, or is he destined to repeat the cycle of vengeance and despair that consumed him in his first life? With its rich infusion of Middle Eastern mythology, layered world-building, and a protagonist caught between redemption and ruin, "Dustbound Prophecies" is a progressive fantasy saga that delves deep into the meaning of survival, the weight of identity, and the power of second chances. An epic journey awaits—one that will challenge the boundaries of fate and the very essence of what it means to live.
