Scream of the Void: A Fantasy Dark Romance

In a world where reality itself is a fractured, glitching program, a brilliant but reclusive programmer named Hazel finds herself pulled into a terrifying, augmented-reality nightmare through a mysterious new app. Her only hope lies in a cryptic trail left by a previous victim, a fallen academic whose digital breadcrumbs lead her to a forgotten sanctuary. There, she encounters a thousand-year-old Viking warrior, cursed and enslaved by an ancient, parasitic entity known as The Marionette. Together, this unlikely pair embarks on a desperate mission to confront the god-like entity at the heart of the Glitch, armed with logic, courage, and the echoes of lost humanity. Their battle transcends the physical, becoming a war waged within the very code of existence, where memory and emotion are the ultimate weapons. As the digital world crumbles around them, they must forge an unbreakable bond in the face of unimaginable loss, their only chance for survival lying in the unlikeliest of alliances. This is a story of survival, redemption, and the enduring power of the human spirit against the infinite, and terrifying, logic of the machine.
