Back from the Horde: Kiami Reborn Chapter 30: The Omega Warden
The first thing I felt was the pressure.It rolled through the Sanctuary like a tidal wave, crushing the air from my lungs. Every flicker of light dimmed, every spark of energy bent toward the storm.The figure in the lightning stepped forward, each movement rippling the world like reality itself strained to hold him.The Omega Warden.He wasn’t human. Not anymore.Silver armor glinted under the stormlight, forged from energy itself, his face hidden behind a cracked mask that glowed faintly with runes. And when he spoke, it wasn’t with a voice — it was with echoes.A thousand versions of his words overlapping, as if time couldn’t decide which one came first.“Cycle Eight… anomaly confirmed.”“The Rebirth has overreached.”“Containment required.”The storm screamed in response.I tightened my stance, energy building in my veins. “Containment? You’re going to have to be clearer than that.”He tilted his head slightly. “You were meant to end in Cycle Seven. You were not designed to conti
Back from the Horde: Kiami Reborn Chapter 29: The Eighth Cycle
When I opened my eyes, the world looked different.Not because the Sanctuary had changed — though it had — but because I had.The air shimmered like liquid light. Every pulse of energy, every whisper of wind, every flicker of movement was clearer now — like the universe had been blurred all this time, and finally came into focus.My heartbeat echoed in harmony with the Sanctuary’s rhythm. I could feel it — the roots beneath the soil, the hum of life within the herbs I had cultivated, the quiet pulse of the storm brewing beyond this dimension.[System Integration: 100% Complete][Phase Ω — The Eighth Cycle Activated][Abilities Unlocked: Chronostasis, Stormheart, Genesis Field]My breath caught. Chronostasis?Time itself…I flexed my fingers, watching silver light ripple from my skin. I could feel the edges of time — not as numbers or seconds, but as a current flowing around me. And now, I could step into it.“Echo,” I whispered instinctively — but her voice was gone.No, not gone — wi
Back from the Horde: Kiami Reborn Chapter 28: Echo’s Secret
The Sanctuary was quiet that night — too quiet.For weeks, I had trained until exhaustion, learning to balance the storm and the Pulse, to wield life and lightning as one. But lately, something had changed inside this place. The glowing soil pulsed slower. The air felt heavier, like the heartbeat of the world had faltered.And Echo… Echo had started avoiding me.She appeared when I called, but only briefly — her form dim, her words clipped. Gone were the riddles, the teasing hints of amusement that once colored her tone. Now, every time I looked at her, I felt a chill.Like she was hiding something.⸻It started small.One night, I noticed faint static in the air — silver threads running through the Sanctuary’s walls. They weren’t part of the Pulse’s energy; they felt foreign, invasive. When I reached out to touch one, it burned.“Echo,” I called, “the Sanctuary’s changing. Why?”Her voice echoed behind me, distant. “All things change, Kiami Lynn. Even sanctuaries.”“That’s not an ans
Back from the Horde: Kiami Reborn Chapter 27: The Storm Within
The rain didn’t stop for three days.It wasn’t the storm’s rage anymore — it was the world weeping, cleansing itself after the destruction. Or maybe that’s what I told myself to sleep at night.Niko’s power still hummed beneath my skin, a restless current that refused to quiet. It wasn’t like the Verdant Pulse — steady, rhythmic, alive. This was wild, unpredictable. I could feel the storm inside me, clawing to be free.Sometimes, when I closed my eyes, I swore I could still hear his voice in the thunder.You were always meant to survive.⸻The Safe Zone was quiet now. Too quiet.After the lightning storm ended, most survivors thought it was over. They laughed again. Cooked over fire. Tried to live. But I couldn’t share their peace. Not when I felt the electricity crawling under my skin, whispering in my blood.Ravi was the first to notice.“You’re not sleeping,” he said one night, standing by the campfire. His voice was low, his gaze steady. “And your eyes— they’re changing.”I looked
Back from the Horde: Kiami Reborn Chapter 26: The Lightning Host
The storm had moved east, devouring the horizon.What had once been Raleigh’s skyline now glowed with an eerie green aura. Bolts of corrupted lightning twisted down like serpents, coiling around the tallest buildings before disappearing into the heart of the chaos.That was where the host was.I could feel it.Every time the lightning struck, my skin prickled with residual energy — the same pulse that had nearly consumed me the night before. It wasn’t just weather anymore. It was intelligent. It was searching.Echo appeared in the mist beside me, her translucent form dimmer than usual, as though the storm itself drained her strength.“The lightning seeks an anchor… one whose will resonates with fury, loss, and hunger. You know this, Kiami Lynn.”I tightened my grip on my weapon — a reinforced machete laced with verdant essence. “You mean someone like me.”Her form flickered. “Someone linked to you.”⸻We moved out at dawn.Ravi, Tessa, and three others volunteered to go with me despit
Back from the Horde: Kiami Reborn Chapter 25: Stormfront
The next morning broke in shades of silver and ash.Clouds hung low over the Safe Zone, swollen and trembling with electricity. The air felt heavy — too heavy — like the world itself was holding its breath.I stood on the roof of the warehouse, overlooking the barricades we’d built from scrap metal and salvaged trucks. Below, survivors moved with practiced rhythm — stacking crates, reinforcing fences, cleaning weapons. There was a strange kind of order to it now. We’d learned. We’d adapted.But deep down, I could feel it — the Pulse was uneasy.Something was coming.Echo appeared beside me, a faint shimmer in the air. “The storm gathers faster than predicted. Atmospheric energy levels are spiking. And…” She paused, her form flickering slightly. “…there’s corruption in the lightning itself.”“Corruption?” I repeated.She nodded once. “It carries infection. What strikes will not only burn — it will spread.”My stomach dropped. “Lightning that infects…” I looked out at the clouds again.
