Aot Underground City Novels & Stories

“What about underground? The city has old service tunnels, flood runoff channels that lead to the lake or out towards the countryside.” They began to map it out, their minds intertwining as seamlessly as their bodies had in the alley fight. Anton brought his knowledge of high-net-worth hideaways and Geneva’s obscure municipal planning from past development deals. Sabatine brought his operational understanding of clandestine movement, of how a ghost would plan his disappearance.

The city looked different at night. Not the glittering towers or crowded streets, but the parts beneath—the hidden veins where those who had been erased still lived. That’s where Dante was leading them now. They’d spent the last two days off-grid, moving through safehouses and abandoned train cars. The world thought they were dead. Julian knew better. Aiden followed Dante through a narrow stairwell that led to an underground bar, the kind that smelled like spilled liquor and secrets. A neon sign buzzed faintly above the door: THE WIRE.

I was staring at the tiled floor, heart thudding louder than I liked. This was it. The window. I needed to plant something. Just enough to see if Max would bite. I waited until he was very engrossed on his phone before standing and moving a few steps away, just far enough to make it seem like a private call, but close enough for him to hear if he wanted to. I pressed my phone to my ear and spoke into the quiet, pretending to speak to an art gallery manager. “Hi, yes, this is Lila Bennett from Sinclair Enterprise. I’m following up on the availability of the Visage & Void collection, the oil paint pieces with the cityscape overlays?”

“What exactly am I looking at here?” “One of Owen’s biggest secrets,” I said pausingfor a second before continuing. “Trying to delay Owen goods at customs is pointless. Those shipments are just decoys. If anything happens to them, he’s rich enough to cover the losses. But what you don’t know, what I found out from snooping around is his underground tunnel.” That got Joan’s full attention. He set the papers down and looked at me sharply. “Underground tunnel?” “Yes,” I confirmed. “He built one leading straight from Casa Eleganza to the old railway line beneath Pier 42.”

Soon, the last Pentalium members will test their defenses, preparing to strike when they least expect it. Julie's latest newspaper column brings excitement to the Kingdom every time she shares her findings with the world. In the most recent publication, Julie announced a breakthrough: all the tunnels mapped lead to the main tunnel beneath the Capital. But it is blocked by a sturdy boulder. But the team is not deterred; they will begin removing the rocks soon and should reach the Capital's underbelly, which she theorizes holds the largest underground Zonian city.

********* The whole place looked deserted when the two couples walked to a particular grave hand in hand while the picture of Liam looked like he was smiling at them. “Hey baby” aura said the moment she got to his tombstone, “I have not visited you in a while and mama is really sorry about that” she slowly bent down and removed some twigs from the tombstone as her lips curved up in a smile. The memories of Liam’s happy days came back to her memory and she would do anything to have that again, he was just so full of life. “Guess what champ?” His dad also bent down and clasped his hand over Aurora’s, “we are finally getting married”

"They always do." "Then I'll cheat back." Jack headed for the elevator, then remembered that the elevator wasn't working. "Katherine, where's the nearest entrance to the Undercity?" "There's a junction point under Grand Central. But Jack, you can't just walk in there and—" "Watch me." The Undercity was exactly as unpleasant as its name suggested. Beneath Grand Central Station, past the maintenance tunnels and the secret platforms that the MTA pretended didn't exist, there was a world that most New Yorkers would never see. A world of perpetual darkness, bioluminescent fungi, and creatures who had decided that sunlight was overrated.

Just spritzed herself with cheap perfume on her way out the door. It was far too late to stress about body odor now as she eyed the passageway before her. Fuck, this place was massive. Stone tunnels and doors as far as she could see. Amber wondered how many miles beneath The Fringe these tunnels went. It wouldn’t surprise her if it ran the whole length of The Fringe, this network of underground passageways. Like the catacombs intertwined deep beneath the Paris streets. There were also probably bodies down here as well. Maybe encased in the concrete, like a mortar to help hold its walls together. Kept it from crumbling.

Manager Samuel Wright kindly requested. Alexander Fox got angered by the manager's request instantly. He asked him rhetorically, "If I knew his name, would I have bothered to contact you in the first place?" "Alright, Sir. It would be very difficult without a name. However, I will do my best to give you the results within 24 hours." Manager Samuel Wright assured. CAITEC TOWER was one of the biggest companies around the globe. It had numerous branches scattered all over the world and across the countries.

As soon as the white light appeared, the figures of Samuel and Yvonne reappeared in the underground space of the membrane. "Hua!" When Yvonne looked around, there was an uproar of her. This was not an underground space, but a huge underground city. They used the earth as the sky and the earth as the ground. The height of the space was about 100 meters. Later, they spread around at this height, seemingly endless. In short, they couldn't see the end of their surroundings. Naturally, they couldn't tell how large it was for the time being.
