Beetle Blade Maze Runner Novels & Stories

"Tell me what I am looking at." [Warning, Host Eva! Tier 2 Mutated Variant identified: Blade-Stalker. High speed, high durability, and lethal melee capacity. Your hunting knife cannot pierce its main chest plating. Avoid direct blocks. Structural damage to the immediate ledge is critical!] "I do not plan to block, " I said through my teeth, my eyes locked onto the burning red glare of the beast's eyes. The Blade-Stalker did not wait. It let out a loud metallic hiss that made my teeth hurt and its right arm swung forward fast. The bone blade cut through the air with a whistle aiming straight for my neck.

"Let's see if you can escape from me," Brett asked while looking around him. There are eight small blades in his hands. He considers these as his new favorite toys since he bought them from an auction in New York. The eight blades are made from high qualiy stone and they are worth million dollars. Brett only brought these treasures because he wanted to show these off to Adam and Chandler later. But it seems he'll use them as his weapon this time.

The older man, all grit and menace, stepped forward. “This maze,” he said, voice gravel-coated, “is called the Weeping Capillary Maze.” He turned and pointed to a stack of battered crates beside the gate. Inside were old, worn switchblades and belts with single clips of bullets. “You’ll be using these for the test. A blade. And bullets. No guns.” A few men shifted, glancing at one another. “You’ll find barrels scattered in the maze,” he continued. “Make it to one, survive, and maybe you’ll walk out of this alive.”

Sweat dripped from his brow, his heart pounding in his chest as he navigated the deadly gauntlet. Emerging from the corridor, he faced the final challenge: a maze of swinging axes and rotating blades. The axes were massive, each swing accompanied by a bone-chilling whoosh. The rotating blades moved in erratic patterns, their edges catching the light in deadly flashes. Ty's breath came in ragged gasps, his muscles burning with fatigue, but he pushed on, his determination unyielding.

The impact sent him crashing to the ground of the cage. The crowd cheered crazily, screams erupted all around me. "BLADE!" "BLADE!" "BLADE!" I pulled out my custom-made blade gleamed with a savage hunger under the bright arena lights. The polished steel bore the name "Capone," etched into the metal like a proclamation of death. Its edge was as sharp as a serpent's fang. It looked eager to cut, having tasted the blood of many before. The handle, wrapped in black leather, felt like a coiled snake in my grip, ready to strike with deadly accuracy. This blade wasn't just a weapon; it was a merciless instrument of brutality, a symbol of my unrelenting power in this world.

Blane led the way because of the traps that he said Barry had set, he tossed a coconut at a tree the tree swung back and out came a spiked limb if we were even hit by that we would had been dead because the spikes would had went into us, there was no healing from that at all, we did another mile, he tossed another one at a bush and out came another spiked branch that was even worse he said it had silver and wolfsbane on it, he did several others that had foot traps if we stepped on it then our foot would had been chopped off, he said it wasn't the end he knew every single trap that was here because he helped set them up, he did all of them including the ropes that would make us upside down h

“Trust me.” That word— Trust— hung between them like a blade suspended mid-fall. Kael hesitated. Then nodded. “Fine.” The creature surged forward. Rowan moved. Not toward it. Sideways. Controlled. Measured. He slammed his blade into the ground. A pulse of blue light erupted from the impact point, spreading across the stone in a geometric pattern. Symbols flared into existence—ancient, structured, precise. The floor fractured along predetermined lines, revealing a containment lattice beneath.

"And why would they be in trouble?" "Because of Fabian?" Maze lifts her eyebrows at me, which makes me feel like I'm the crazy one. Maybe I am. Fabian is dangerous. "I've been hunted by that vampire for months, so you can't exactly blame me for being precautious," "That's true..." I ponder. "Therefore, I'm carrying a dagger in my sleeve," Maze says and shows me the sharp dagger with a black, beautiful handle embedded with some sort of gemstone. It's emerald green.

Viper bellowed, and suddenly the air erupted with bullets from his men. “Go! Now!” Blade roared again. I dropped to my knees at the manhole, shaking so hard I could barely keep my grip on Cruz. “How do I—” “Pull the damn cover!” Blade yelled. My fingers fumbled against the iron disk. It wouldn’t move. My palms slipped, slick with blood. “It’s stuck!” “Move!” Blade shoved past me, gripping the edge and heaving with all his strength. With a screech of metal, it slid free. “Get him down there!”
