Synopsis: The Undead Horde Of The Great Grass Sea Born into a war-torn country, a boy’s earliest memories are a grim mosaic of violence, hunger, and despair. His mother, a battered and broken teenager, shielded him from hyenas, soldiers, and starvation at great personal cost, her screams and tears becoming the soundtrack of his childhood. For seven long years, he grappled with a bleak truth: survival often demanded cruelty, and humanity seemed devoid of hope. By the time he was a teenager, the boy had become a seasoned hunter, scavenger, and child soldier. Among the corpses of fallen soldiers, he learned to wield weapons, scavenging not just for sustenance but for purpose. Over time, he built a grim kingdom of his own—leading a horde of dead-eyed children, sold to him in exchange for scraps of food. The atrocities he committed—the razed villages, the military outposts he obliterated, the screams of the innocent—haunted him less than the knowledge that his actions were part of a cycle of survival. But in the depths of his despair, amidst the chaos of war, an unlikely glimmer of humanity emerged: a book. A dying soldier, whose face had been melted by white phosphorus, handed him a copy of A Game of Thrones and a pilgrim began to teach him how to read. For the first time, the boy found something that transcended the horrors of his existence. Yet, as he burned alive during an airstrike, his final regret was not the lives he had taken or the pain he had endured, but that he would never finish the book. In this harrowing tale of survival and loss, The Undead Horde Of The Great Grass Sea explores the resilience of the human spirit and the fragile threads of hope that can emerge even in the darkest of places.

In a world ruled by cruelty, deception, and ambition, the innocent are often preyed upon, and children suffer the most. Many wish for death to escape their torment, but for a young prince of a fallen empire, his only desire is to live. Captured and tortured, he endures two years of unrelenting pain, refusing to give in to despair. Despite his strength, fate is unkind, and at the tender age of fifteen, he draws his last breath. But death is not the end. In the afterlife, he faces the gods responsible for his suffering. Frustrated by his unbroken spirit, they cast his soul into the void, a place of eternal darkness. Yet, even in the face of divine wrath, the boy’s will to survive remains unshaken, setting the stage for a tale of resilience and the defiance of fate in another world .
