What makes rebellion stories hit emotionally?
I've been exploring that question in my own series. I wanted to write a story that felt cinematic.
One that felt like a prestige anime—where every line hits like smoke and steel, and every chapter ends like a heartbeat before an explosion.
That became Wastelanders: War of Iritheum.
It starts in the ashes of a town wiped off the map—a boy named Theodore Gray watching everything he knows burn under the rule of a self-proclaimed God-King.
He's not a chosen one. He's not special. But when the offered a choice, something inside him refuses to stay silent.
What follows is rebellion, found family, and survival at the edge of an oppressed world—told through a cinematic, emotional lens.
Every battle cost something. Every choice has blood on it.
And somewhere deep within the ruins of history, there's a secret power called Dyna—one the God-King doesn't want anyone to remember.

What to Expect:
- Multiple POVs and perspectives across the narrative of the story.
- Found-family bonds forged in an emotional, character-driven rebellion
- A grounded power system (Dyna) connected to both sides of freedom and oppression.
- Cinematic, emotionally immersive storytelling and pacing (like you're watching it play out)
- A mystery and world-building that unfold piece by piece and deepens with every chapter (KCs, Iritheum Core, The Black Ball)
