Before the Flood

In a near-future world on the brink of mastering quantum teleportation, brilliant physicist Julian Voss achieves the impossible: instantaneous matter transfer that will end distance forever. But as his breakthrough nears, strange glitches escalate into terrifying warnings—flickering apparitions, exploding lights, and horrifying changes in living subjects that defy science.

Haunted by a sorrowful presence that seems determined to stop him, Julian must confront whether his invention is humanity’s salvation… or the opening of a door that should never be unlocked. A chilling blend of hard sci-fi, Christian dark fantasy, and biblical horror, Teraphim explores the terrifying cost of playing God and the ancient line between genius and damnation.

In the heart of the Golden Palace, the greatest cull reaches its boiling point. One man stands against an empire of false gods. Leon, bearer of blue flame and divine mandate, faces Prince Thalorion in a cataclysmic duel of water and fire.

As the flooded arena becomes a battlefield of clashing elements, Leon’s body burns with corrupting power while his faith is tested by seductive temptation. Towering waves crash against wings of sapphire flame, ancient marble shatters, and the body fails spectacularly all around him.

With Poseidon the Earth-Shaker himself descending into the fray and the Egyptian Nephilim giants watching from above, the fate of Atlantis hangs in the balance. One obedient man. One final gauntlet. The word of the Creator endures… even as all flesh withers.

All flesh is grass. The grass withers. But the word endures forever.

An intense, faith-fueled chapter of elemental warfare, corruption, and divine judgment from Before the Flood: The Fall of Atlantis.

In the blood-drenched heart of the Golden Palace, the Cull of Kings ignites. Five surviving champions—each twisted by the forbidden powers of the Orders—clash in a savage battle royale where water blades, crushing gravity, living stone, and azure flames collide.

Leon, the Tanaju warrior, soars on wings of blue fire, his body burning with Kyon’s corrupting gift while his faith and the memory of fallen brothers keep him grounded. As the frenzied crowd of forty thousand roars and Egyptian giants watch with mocking delight, only one can emerge to face Poseidon for the High Kingship of Atlantis.

Will Leon resist the seductive pull of godhood and deliver judgment… or will the body fail as the Watchers demand?An explosive chapter of elemental fury, moral struggle, and the gathering storm of the Flood. All flesh is grass… but the word of the Creator endures.

In Interlude 2: Mockery of the Gods Redux, the corrupt Nephilim rulers of Egypt gather in their opulent Hall of Distant Thrones.

These towering, monstrous giants—twisted by forbidden powers—watch through a scrying orb as the Tournament of the Ten Rings reaches its brutal climax in Atlantis. With cruel delight, they mock the victories and mounting curses of the new kings, especially Leon, the blue-flame warrior they derisively call “the dog.”

Their thunderous laughter echoes as they toast the inevitable failure of flesh, mind, and spirit.

Yet far beneath the pyramids, a faithful remnant of Seth kneels in secret prayer, clinging to hope as the Flood draws near. Alone on his balcony, Leon offers the same humble prayer, holding tight to his olive-branch token while the false gods rage.

A powerful bridge between worlds—divine mockery versus quiet faith—in this epic pre-Flood saga.

The ten corrupted kings of Atlantis are summoned to the Golden Palace for a brutal tournament that will determine the next High King.

As political alliances fracture and dark powers spiral out of control, Leon of Tanaju steps into the blood-soaked arena to face King Valthor the Pyromancer in a cataclysmic clash of blue fire against raging inferno.

With the ghostly spirits of his fallen comrades watching from Sheol, Leon fights not just for victory, but to hold onto his soul amid the growing corruption of his own body.

Meanwhile, the other kings unleash their twisted gifts in savage bouts that reveal the terrible truth: the body fails… and Atlantis’s doom draws closer with every drop of blood spilled on the sand.

A chapter of explosive action, heartbreaking sacrifice, and mounting dread — the gauntlet has begun.

The blood of the Tournament of Rings has dried, and ten new kings now rise from the ashes of brutal combat. Alone in the torchlit royal chambers of Ring Seven, Leon sits upon the stolen throne of the fallen giant Gorgathon — his body marked by glowing blue scars, his heart heavy with grief for his fallen brothers.

As the ten rulers prepare to face one another in the deadly Tournament of Rulers, Leon learns the horrifying cost of power: each new king is already twisting and breaking under the weight of their gifts.

While Egyptian giants watch from the luxury boxes and laugh at the “self-devouring” spectacle, Leon clings to an olive branch and a fading vision — one that demands everything from him.

In this chapter, ambition and corruption collide as Atlantis edges closer to its prophesied doom. Power has a price… and the body always fails.

The final healing week ends as Leon, Stelios, and Lysandros step into the blood-soaked arena of Ring Seven for their most brutal trial yet. Facing King Gorgathon — a towering Nephilim whose body is slowly turning to living stone — they unleash every ounce of their forbidden powers in a cataclysmic clash of blue flame, living bronze, and ancient poisons.

Victory demands the ultimate price. In the shadow of the throne, faith, brotherhood, and the creeping corruption of power collide as the fall of Atlantis draws closer.

“All flesh is grass… but the word of the Creator endures forever.”A powerful, emotional, and action-packed chapter perfect for fans of dark biblical fantasy and epic arena battles.
