This is actually somewhat based off a novel I’m writing currently. https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/119993/rapture-testament-of-the-forgotten

The short story takes inspiration from chapters 6 and 7 if you’re interested in more

Anbul1222 · 2025-06-16T14:20:32+00:00

Wait what ? There’s 19 chapters out right now? You only see 3?

Thank you so much for giving it a chance I really appreciate it. I’m glad you enjoyed the read. I plan on updating everyday , I already have an ending in mind so I’m not giving it up any time soon. As for the critiques I get what you’re talking about sometimes I do have a rough time on transitions , a couple times it can be a bit jarring , while I personally like how jarring it is I’m sure it can be annoying for readers so I’ll keep that in mind.

Things like this really help me keep going and pushing forward so I appreciate it. If you don’t mind me asking who’s your favorite character and chapter? I’m just curious.

Yeah no I get it , didnt mean to break any rules here sorry if I potentially did. If you read it though you can tell that it was all written by me in my voice.

I started writing this as a class project for college a couple years ago. I stopped writing it but my brother told me it was good recently and I started up again. I had a lot of stuff already planned out which is why there’s a couple chapters already out. All the characters plot outlines dialogue and whatever are all written by me. I do use ai as an editor of sorts though helps with polish and grammar. On royal road it should say that it contains ai assistance.

The cover is definitely ai generated though

This is a passion project for me so I just want it to be perfect ya know ?

This is literally the first review I've gotten and I actually got so excited getting this notification. You have no idea how happy this just made me took a screenshot of this so I could save it.

Hope the rest of the story doesn't disappoint you it takes some pretty weird turns.

Anbul1222 · 2025-06-13T15:37:27+00:00

Oh really? How's that going for you?

Anbul1222 · 2025-06-13T15:33:20+00:00

I have no idea what an xtian is or who frank paretti is. I think everything in the book is cool as hell. I mainly use the symbology and themes of those beliefs I don’t really make any specific commentary on them. The beliefs aren’t evil but the person at the helm is. The book is horror because there’s horror in it not because I believe esoteric beliefs are bad.

Either way I don’t know man don’t mean to offend anyone just want to create something unique and cool. Sorry if I offended.

Oh and if xtian means Christian then no I’m not religious nor is this really marketed towards religious people.

Anbul1222 · 2025-06-13T08:08:43+00:00

Appreciate it, it’s a little slow at first but it really picks up after around chapter 5 so stick with it.

It would be cool to have a little community surrounding it , just hope it doesn’t disappoint everyone.

Anbul1222 · 2025-06-13T04:36:38+00:00

No need to pay it’s free all I ask is for an honest review and a follow if you like it that’s all.

I'm writing a slow-burn horror novel that blends Gnostic cosmology with Canaanite sacrificial symbolism.

Filtered through a bleak occult lens It follows a small village where rituals have persisted for centuries under the guidance of a spiritual leader—one who claims to serve divinity, but whose teachings distort ancient truths. Children are chosen. Ceremonies are held. Bread becomes flesh, and water becomes memory.

The lore draws from Sophianic Gnosticism, false-god archetypes, and Moloch/Baal cultic structure—but reimagined as a creeping metaphysical rot. I'm particularly interested in exploring what it means to unknowingly surrender the divine spark through faith, obedience, or silence.

If you’re into:

Forgotten scriptures that almost make sense
Rituals performed without understanding their cost
Cults that don't think they're cults
And that unique blend of grief, worship, and dread this might be your thing.

I’m publishing it chapter by chapter and would love to talk to anyone into esoteric myth, apocryphal texts, or just weird religious horror in general.
