Endured

Eric Kane, a quiet, socially withdrawn teenager who once relied on his family to navigate the world is left completely alone when a towering, intelligent monster leads the horde that destroys everything he had. Bitten during the chaos, he expects to die… but instead, he survives. The infection changes him. His body adapts through pain—bones harden, muscles grow stronger, and wounds heal over time—but at a cost. He can still die. He can still break. And worse, he becomes something people fear. His very existence is dangerous; even his blood can infect others. Now living on the outskirts of a fragile settlement, he fights alone—taking on threats no one else can survive. While the people he protects depend on him, they keep their distance, unsure if he’s their savior… or something far worse. As the infected grow stronger under the influence of massive “Mother Colonies” that spawn new and more grotesque forms, the world shifts from survival to something far more dangerous: adaptation vs. adaptation. Haunted by loss and driven by a quiet, controlled rage, he pushes himself beyond his limits—losing battles, retreating, and returning stronger each time. His greatest challenge comes in the form of a massive commander—the same creature that killed his family. But defeating it won’t bring peace. Because in a world that continues to evolve, the question is no longer just how to survive Hello, this is my first book/webnovel, please correct me on mistakes so I can go back and fix em thanks - Blank
