The Sky Keeps Accounts

When the gods punish, they do not judge. They delete. Zuberi Chike is not a hero. He is an accounting error in a divine system that demands balance through suffering. After surviving a celestial catastrophe that killed his sister, he awakens with a power he never asked for: the ability to manifest bone armor from his own body—a fragment of the buried god Vareth, condemned for ruling that divine actions must carry scars. Now marked as a glitch in reality, Zuberi is hunted by Judicators—faceless enforcers who rewrite physics to erase contradictions. But he can’t be deleted. His very existence proves the gods’ justice is flawed. With each battle, his power grows… and so does the attention from above. In a world where power is testimony and every victory tightens the gods’ noose, Zuberi must decide: survive in silence, or become the precedent that puts heaven itself on trial.
