The Hybrid‘s Burden: City of Silence

The Hybrid‘s Burden: City of Silence By M.A. Valenton When the world ended, it didn‘t begin with a bang - it began with a bark. Odri never asked to survive. Half-infected and immune to the virus tearing the city apart, he bears the curse of watching everything fall while unable to die. In the ruins of Pasig City, he navigates a crumbling world haunted by monstrous evolutions of the undead - creatures faster, smarter, and infinitely crueler. At his side is Benz, his wife, a cancer survivor who has already stared death in the face once and refused to blink. And Alice, their loyal tricolor beagle, whose senses detect the horrors before they arrive - and whose quiet bravery holds the family together. Together, they fight through the wreckage of a world lost to rot, searching for loved ones, safety, and something worth living for. But survival means more than running - it means facing the growing terror that the infected are changing... and remembering that the only thing stronger than fear is the love that endures through it. The Hybrid‘s Burden: City of Silence is a harrowing, emotional odyssey told through the eyes of a fractured family, a hybrid outcast, and a dog whose loyalty may save them all. A uniquely Filipino post-apocalyptic saga where silence is deadly - and every heartbeat is a rebellion against the end.
