I watched in horror as the rod began to glow. 'Stay, please stay away,' I muttered, trying to free myself. But he just smiled and pulled the rod out of the fire. 'This will all be over now,' he said, and then he pressed the hot rod to my hands. I felt a pain coursed through each and every part of my veins, cutting me through. My throat dried as each word caught in my throat, "Ahhh!" I emitted a scream, but yet he didn't stop. His eyes were glued to mine as he pressed the rod further. My skin felt as though it were boiling, and each of my systems was bursting as they boiled. Suddenly, darkness enveloped, with my eyes shutting after.

Chapter 58: Bound in the Dark Aria stepped into the dream not with hesitation, but with gravity. The moment her body fell into sleep, she was already walking — barefoot, breath soft, trailing mist at her ankles. The world around her shimmered in shades of violet and obsidian, the scent of rain and smoke clinging to the air. This wasn’t her Eden or Zero. This wasn’t even a place carved by her own subconscious. This was Riri’s domain. The cave opened before her like a maw of the divine, glowing faintly from within, a pulse like a heartbeat humming through the dark stone walls.

Cold, crushing ocean water flooded the command bridge in a split second, extinguishing our searchlights and sweeping the crew into the freezing dark. I was thrown out into the deep blue void, the Luminous Lotus's lingering light illuminating the terrifying sight of the colossal beast pulling the shattered remains of our vessel toward the black abyss of the ocean floor. As the suffocating cold locked my lungs and the dark sea swallowed us whole, Gideon cut through the water toward me, his hand reaching out to lock with mine as our dual mark ignited like a dying star in the ocean deep.

The Heart pulsed once beneath the tower. And for the first time since dawn— It answered with a second pulse. Not from the abyss. From somewhere else in the deep. Mara’s gaze snapped toward the far eastern horizon. The Drowned One wasn’t the only ancient thing in the ocean. And something new— had just woken up. Chapter 6: The Light That Answers The second pulse came again. Not from beneath the lighthouse. Not from the abyss where the deeper presence slept. From the east. Far beyond the shipping lanes. Beyond the reefs. Beyond where fishing boats ever dared to go.

Her chin was tucked, her shoulders were slumping in her perfect porcelain disguise, but through the dark curls of her hair, her eyes met his—wide, awake, and burning with a terrifying, shared brilliance. The empire was bleeding, the vanguard was turning on itself, and the Ghost was finally holding the knife.

Dante’s obsidian arm let out a low, mourning chime as the flagship hit the first wave of the ocean, and the silver brain began to glow with a welcoming, terrifying light. (Watch out for Chapter 239) 💬 Add to library | Vote | Comment | Please Send Gifts

"The thermal sensors... they’re maxing out. But there’s no heat signature. It’s... it’s registering below freezing. Something is coming up from the deep shelf." Malakai didn't answer. For the first time in his immortal life, a tiny, suffocating seed of pure, unadulterated doubt took root in his chest. He had spent centuries in neon-lit glass boardrooms, manipulating stock markets and buying politicians. He had forgotten what the primordial dark actually felt like. Then, the ocean began to bleed. A deep, crimson luminescence bloomed far beneath the flat surface of the water, spreading outward until the entire coastline looked like an open, glowing wound. The water didn't part; it simply yield

His stare—his eyes—were ringed with divine silver starlight now, like it was permanent, like his body decided it. Caleb and Jace ran the lower decks. Celestial auras, steady, keeping the freezing dampness from creeping too close. Still, the Crimson Court doesn’t do “unguarded.” On the third day, right before evening, the sky above us tore open in a violent rupture. The oppressive black fog got pierced by this sickly, pulsing crimson glow. Then a massive, unnatural hurricane dropped onto the fleet. The Black Sea answered with thirty-foot swells, stacked and furious.

The candles went out. Author’s Note - The Crimson Veil began as a late-night idea about what might happen if logic met temptation in its purest, most dangerous form. Evelyn’s curiosity is my own: the need to understand what we fear, even when it leads us somewhere we can’t easily return from. This story mixes gothic atmosphere, mystery, and forbidden connection—a slow burn between intellect and instinct.

Death draws me towards it like we have been attached with an unbreakable string. Maybe it's just a superpower in which I get the last chance to save the person in front of me or maybe it’s a curse. Particularly a Crimson curse, as I like to call it. Through the years the number of deaths I have seen is greater than my age. You would think that death doesn't affect me anymore. You are right to think that because that is what I had thought until 5 days ago.
