Hello! Sorry if it's a bit wordy, but I want people to get a feel for the story. What Comes After is a zombie-apocalypse drama focused on a group of broken, struggling people trying to escape the city as everything collapses around them.
At the center is Ren—born in a world where magic was as natural as air. Others relied on runes, words, and artifacts, but Ren was different: a void, a living catalyst who passively absorbed mana into vast reserves. In his world, that made him powerful. In ours, where no mana exists, his magic is a dangerous double-edged sword. Haunted by his past and stranded in a collapsing modern Japan, he faces an outbreak tearing through ordinary people who were never meant to face such horror, while confronting both his past and his uncertain future.
My updates will be daily until I'm caught up with my backlog, and I’ll stay a few chapters ahead so readers can count on regular releases. If you’re interested in a character-driven drama set during a zombie outbreak with themes of trauma, bonds, and a reverse-isekai twist, I’d love for you to check it out. It's slow to start, fair warning, but just the first four chapters. Comments, feedback, or even a simple follow would be awesome and I'd really appreciate it!
