Novel & Cerita Awakened Ice Admiral

“Once Echelon is unlocked, we can either destroy it, or use it.” Adrian nodded. “Let’s end this.” He placed his hand on the scanner. A needle pricked his finger. Blood streamed into the reader. The screen flickered. IDENTITY CONFIRMED: ADRIAN CROSS. ACCESS LEVEL: MASTER. Alarms blared. Grace spun. “What the hell is that?!” A dozen red lasers lit up the room. Jade’s voice came through the intercom. “Thank you, dear brother.” The Trap The walls retracted.

Nathaniel had insisted on accompanying me, but I needed time—to breathe, to think, to find out if what Ama said carried any truth… or if she was simply unraveling piece by piece. The mirror shimmered faintly, glowing with a pulsing light that seemed to breathe in sync with the rhythm of my own heart. “Show me,” I whispered. “Show me what lies within me.” The surface rippled like disturbed water. I braced myself, expecting a vision of my wolf or perhaps another fragment of prophecy. But instead, a figure emerged—cloaked in white, tall and hooded, with eyes that shimmered like silver galaxies. “Inadu’s heir,” the voice said. Feminine. Ethereal. “You awaken too slowly.”

“Whatever that awakening was, it reached far. Every band on my scanner just died.” “Or got replaced,” Adrian murmured. He knelt beside a half-functional console, coaxing a spark from its broken screen. Lines of code appeared—fragmented transmissions looping on repeat. we are awake / we are coming / we remember. Lena shivered. “They’re speaking.” “Not to us,” he said quietly. “To him.” The baby stirred, blue light flickering under his skin like lightning trapped beneath thin ice. Lena pressed him closer, whispering, “It’s okay, sweetheart, it’s okay.”

Then from somewhere deep within me, her voice answered. Not Zero. The wolf. “You’re mine. That’s who you are.” And I believed her. Far below the mountain, beneath the ruins of the Council’s frozen city, something ancient stirred. In a sealed cryo-chamber, a man opened his eyes for the first time in decades. His face looked like mine. His eyes burned gold. And his voice echoed in the silence: “She’s awake.” The lights overhead turned blood red. “Then it begins."

The next moment, the back of the chair sprouted dozens of tendril-like appendages that burrowed deep into my skull. Then, darkness enveloped me. I had no sense of how much time passed before I saw my own corpse. And my consciousness—my true awareness—was somewhere else, in another space. Beside me floated a formless mass, impossible to define, yet I knew instinctively: it was the AI. So that was it! I should have realized sooner.

The battle for the First Mother’s Cradle did not begin with a roar: it began with a silence so profound it felt like the world had simply stopped breathing. As we stepped onto the crystalline plains, the Ice Weavers did not move like wolves; they glided across the frozen surface like ghosts of a dead era: their skin as pale as the Antarctic moon. I stood at the center of the Vanguard: my Tempered Heart beating a steady, defiant sixty beats per minute: its solar enzyme casting a protective golden warmth through my veins. Beside me: Killian was a pillar of slate grey muscle: his silver eyes scanning the silent ranks for the first sign of a strike.

[SYSTEM MESSAGE: SECTOR 10 RESIDENTIAL BLOCKS SECURED.] [ACCOUNT BALANCE UPDATED: 48,500,000 STANDARD CREDITS.] The heavy, acoustic doors of the immersion room hissed open. Ren Walker stepped out, his hands trembling slightly as he pulled a towel off the rack to wipe the cold sweat from his face. The soft, ambient lighting of the penthouse living room felt entirely disconnected from the grueling, four-hour raid they had just completed in the Vanguard server.

His gray irises were dark, a lingering, predatory mania flaring behind his gaze as his ears tracked the rhythmic, metallic thunk-thunk of the pod's external defrosting manifolds. ​"He's been under the ice for fifteen years, Vance," Julian growled, his deep register dropping into a dark, territorial whisper that vibrated straight through his nylon chest webbings. "His neural memories are going to be locked in the old Directorship timeline. If he wakes up thinking he’s still commanding the first vanguard line... he might mistake your administrative signature for an enemy intercept." ​"He will not mistake my signature, Julian," Vivian murmured softly. ​She stopped right before the towering, fro

Before I could even process the excitement of potentially having powers, the SUV slammed on its brakes. "Get down! Ambush!" Hudson roared from the driver's seat. Through the windshield, I saw them—a small army of heavily armed raiders swarming the dunes ahead. The Vipers. Their leader, a scarred man with fire powers, laughed maniacally as he raised his hands, hurling massive fireballs at our convoy like a meteor shower. BOOM! The explosion sent a shockwave that shattered our windows into a million pieces.
