What We Became

Two years before the world Changed, Father Kevin O’Callahan heard a confession he could never forget. A stranger told him he had found contentment in hurting people. Kevin never saw his face. Then the world ended. Technology died. Roads stopped leading where they should. Thousands of people woke beneath an unfamiliar sky in bodies that were no longer human—and nobody received instructions explaining what had happened. Kevin wakes green-skinned, fanged, and very far from home. Survival comes first: water, food, shelter, medicine, and figuring out which strangers can be trusted. Then strange Cards begin appearing, binding themselves to people and granting narrow abilities that grow through use. There is no System.No levels.No helpful tutorial.And no guarantee that the Cards are helping. As scattered survivors begin rebuilding something resembling civilization, the Changed discover that their new world is stranger than transformation alone. Different peoples wield entirely different forms of power. Modern roads connect to places that should not exist. Ancient infrastructure runs beneath mountains. Distances shift. Memories fail. And every answer creates several more questions. Kevin's own abilities seem almost cruelly suited to the man he has spent years trying to become: endure what should put him down—and reach people when they're in danger. But power does not tell him when he has the right to use it. And somewhere among the Changed is a man Kevin once knew only as a voice behind a confessional screen. Kevin has already met him. He just doesn't know it yet. WHAT WE BECAME is a character-driven progression apocalypse about survival, community, discovery, strange powers, rebuilding civilization, and the choices people make when becoming stronger is easier than becoming better. Book One of THE CHANGED — complete at 117 chapters.
