City Light Book Novels & Stories

Dylan explained casually. As an art appraiser, Dylan had studied many of the antiques and artefacts owned by their race and other friendly races, and he knew them quite well. "Which one is it?" Leonardo asked and turned off the notepad. "It's the Sword of Light. I remember my teacher told us back then that the Light City was named after the artefact buried in it," Dylan explained calmly as he tried to remember everything about the city. He went to his part of the office and brought out a very thick antique book. Flipping through the pages, he stopped on a page with a small sword drawn on it.

Chapter One — The Girl Who Burned Bridges The city never slept, not even when the moon was high and full, casting silvery light over the glittering glass towers of Crescent City. Neon signs buzzed. Taxi horns echoed. Humans hurried down sidewalks with coffee in one hand and stress in the other. Somewhere, music thumped from a club basement. And inside a tiny, too-warm coffee shop tucked between a bookstore and a vape lounge, Riley Hart was pretending not to exist.

May kalayuan ang apartment ko rito pero ayos na rin ito, hindi na rin naman ako nakakapag exercise lately. I should be home pero hindi ko alam kung bakit mas pinili ng mga paa kong magpunta rito sa burol (hill). Ever since I was a kid, city lights became my comfort. I remember noong grade six ako, tumakas ako ng bahay para lang pumunta sa burol at makita ang liwanag ng syudad. Hindi ko alam kung ilang minuto o oras akong nakatitig doon. I have so many things to do at home pero I really want to relax first.

Rudi folded his arms on the table. "They took over our gang and turned it into a faction." Daffa stroked his chin while thinking about something. "Wasn't Star just an old motorcycle community?" Daffa could only recall what was in his mind at the moment. "May I answer?" Yoga interrupted the conversation. "I've heard a story that the Star gang once fought against the Bulldog gang." "The Bulldog gang?" Daffa furrowed his brow. "Do you mean the Bulldog gang that almost controlled the entire city?" Rudi asked. It turned out he knew about it.

“His name is Zaine. His brother’s name is Jermaine. I guess Zaine is our age.” Victoria sat down in shock. “No freaking way? That tall guy? I thought he was an older teen. Like eighteen or something.” “Guess that means you can’t judge a book by its cover.” “Well, no shit. Michelle looks nice but underneath it all she’s a spoiled little bitch.” Demi smirked but bumped into her friends shoulder. “Be nice.” “Ok fine.”

He thought about the city as a different attending condition from the coastal village and the market town — the attending in the dense place, the light filtered by buildings rather than arriving directly from the sea or the field, the everywhere-at-once replaced by the between-buildings light, the quality of attention that the city required.

It had been years, but nothing had really changed. I pushed open the door to Lightning’s office and stepped inside. The room was just as I remembered: dark, cluttered, and filled with the scent of leather and tobacco. Lightning followed me in, closing the door behind him. He leaned against the desk, crossing his arms over his chest, and eyed me warily. “Alright, Lily,” he said. “Start talking. What kind of trouble are you in?”

He was right — I never should have cared in the first place. There was nothing left to care about even then. I cut ties with every company chat group without a second thought. As the sky began to lighten, I made my way home but ran into Marvin at the elevator. He glanced at me like I was nothing, scorned, and quickly looked away. "Spent the night here mulling things over? Come to any realizations?" I hit the elevator button, my voice dripping with indifference. "Yeah, I've had an epiphany. I'm done."
