Before the Reckoning begins… the chosen must endure the call. Vincent has always lived by survival, schemes, shadows, and grit. But when a vision from YAHWEH drags him from Troost City and into the wilderness, he faces more than hunger and exhaustion. He faces himself. Seven days of trials. A hill of sunflowers. A thousand candidates summoned by a calling in their dreams. But beyond the dream waits something darker. The Amok, gaunt, twitching terrors with a hunger deeper than flesh, spread like plague across Inias. The Districts pretend they don’t exist. The Shikari fight them in secret. And P.A.S.E.O. was built to train the few who dare to stand against them. Most will walk away. Some will fall. But for Vincent, the choice is clear, if he survives the call, the real war begins. Genesis of the Reckoning is a cinematic prequel novella where prophecy, survival, and horror collide. A mythic journey with spiritual weight and street-born clarity, it reveals the world of P.A.S.E.O. and the shadows rising to consume it.
