Book Life Or Death Novels & Stories

MYSTIC HOLLOW Homicide . BY NAOMI INNOCENT . CHAPTER 16 . "The book of death?!" Elena repeated Bonnie's words as if she didn't hear what she said the first time. "Yh, the book of death. Now can you please let me decipher this stuff? Your noise is disturbing me" Bonnie said as a matter of fact to Elena who nodded and walked towards the window, wondering why the book of death would be the key. Alex was busy texting Fay and the sound of the keypad was disturbing Bonnie who rolled her eyes and scoffed. She turned to face Alex who noticed her and arched a brow at her.

That's why I'm going to have a sit-down and see whether I want to deal or not. I wondered what it would be like, to focus on something else for once. To look forward to living when I'd been so hellbent on dying. Knowing that you'd lived past the day you thought you were going to be dead is an odd feeling. It doesn't feel so much like borrowed time but a rebirth.

"Good." Then Silas shouted from farther up the shore. "Luna!" She turned. He was standing beside the ancient book. It had opened itself on the ice. Pages were turning rapidly, one after another: Memory. Severance. Fire. Cold. Life. Death. Every paired symbol appeared, then vanished. Finally, the book reached its last page. Blank. Luna approached. Writing appeared, only one sentence. She read it aloud. "Nothing remains inherited forever." Darius came beside her. "That sounds suspiciously like an ending."

Zoe's POV I hit the enter icon and took a sigh. A sigh that says I am almost done with life. I stared blankly ahead and found nothing interesting. Everything seems dull in my vision. I saved the final draft of the chapter I wrote and closed my laptop. I put it back on my right desk and hug my pillow again. It's been days since I last wrote a chapter of it and I am scared I couldn't finish it within my remaining life expectancy. I should be happy because death is what I want before...but now... I don't want to face it. I want to stay alive...with him.

The room fell silent, captivated by the book's sudden appearance. "It contains the record of both the good and the evil that each person has done. This book is the ultimate judge of our actions, as it holds the truth of every soul." "The Book of Life will guide us in determining the outcome of this trial," he continued, his gaze piercing as he looked at me. "It will reveal the truth of your actions and help us reach a just verdict."

The Book of Life and Death would determine one's life and death. According to the legends in Ding Hao's previous life, the Book of Life and Death recorded the lifespan of all living creatures in the world. Yama could determine a person's lifespan with a single writing. It was simply a Divine Artifact that could kill without spilling blood. All living creatures in the world, whether they were overlords of a region or poor beggars, ambitious men who dominated the world, or wise men who had planned everything perfectly, would eventually die. Ding Hao gently opened the Book of Life and Death.

With that, he picked up the shovel and started digging in front of my grave. From noon until dusk, he dug. When the grave was finally ready, he lay inside it and swallowed the poison. It was fast-acting. In mere moments, he was dead. I knew this because I watched his soul rise from his lifeless body. For a long moment, we simply stared at each other in silence. His eyes turned red as he floated toward me, reaching for my hand. I stepped back, my expression cold. "We're both dead now. Let's stop pretending, shall we?"

‘I am now reading the second book you sent me, your favorite, Tuesday with Morrie by Mich Albom. Irina: ‘Oh yeah, that’s one of the best.’ I said and lifted a fork to my mouth. ‘Learn from it by heart, the book tells you about time and death and other things in between. It’ll tell you simple and priceless things in life,’ I added. ‘It goes like, we live not just to make a living but to really live life, and have no regrets when death comes to us,’ I said and put down the fork to the small white porcelain plate. ‘Morrie teaches us to love and be human.’

James said slowly. "Are you supporting them?" Peter Okeke asked. "No I am not." "You must know that burning a human is setting them on fire and fire is not friendly when it comes in contact with a human skin." James took the book, flipped through the pages then he gave the book to Paul Okeke. "Read that story." Paul Okeke collected the book from James hands. The title was written in bold letters like the previous story he read. It was titled: A GRUESOME DEATH. He swallowed and started reading loudly.

He spoke sensually as a smile broke between his lips, "Did you feel anything?" "Huh?," She asked unable to grasp his last words. "The book?, did you feel anything holding it?," "I think so, I can't quite explain it, but it felt something, like a surge of energy when I came In contact with it," She explained vaguely yet enough for Leon to understand. The book in her grasp contained the highest concentration of dark magic in comparison to any other books in the Library. It was a book that linked the portal between the world of the living and the world of the dead.
