Devoid Of Emotion Novels & Stories

Emma felt her chest tighten. “Correction of what?” The answer came immediately. “Deviation.” The forgotten presence inside her reacted sharply. WE ARE NOT DEVIATION. The Architect paused.

Then: “You were before deviation had meaning.” Emma froze. “…What?” The being stepped closer. “No…” The Custodian whispered. “That is not possible.” But the Architect continued. “You are the absence of interpretation constraint.” The void trembled. Emma felt something enormous pressing against her awareness.

"The singular asset his line will ever love is his administrative rank. If your primitive brain maintained a shred of data regarding his profile, your system would decode that reality, you... you... parasitic scum." "Parasitic scum?" Jaxen sneers, his upper lip curling. "Spectacular vocabulary execution, Seraphine." Syllables might manifest as difficult to access inside her highly intoxicated processing centers, but her vocalization maintains absolute accuracy regarding my character blueprint. Love does not occupy a single slot in my cards. My internal wolf rejects the emotion. My eyes have monitored the absolute structural destruction the bond inflicts across the lines. More critically, my

And it reminded him of the one thing he always sought to remember: nothing. When Sethlzaar opened his eyes, he felt nothing. Not the soft breeze of the forest he knew was ever present. Not the voices in his head that had gone quiet from what he knew to be fear but could not understand. Not the gentle touch of loose strands of his hair against his skin… Not even the cold touch of vaelusian steel against his wrist. This was what happened when emotions crashed. This was what existed at the end of all emotions: Nothing. This was indifference.

I ask, my voice shaking. "Care..." he repeats, his voice low. His voice is unreadable and his tone is carefully neutral. "This is not about caring, Elvira," he says, his tone dismissive. "This is about the contract and what is stated in it. I don't remember adding 'care' into the contract." His words feel like a punch in the gut, and I feel tears welling up in my eyes. I'm not asking for his love, nor do I crave it. I just want to test and see if he has any emotion in him. But, he proves me wrong, he is an emotionless devil! A heartless beast!

I ask. “Yes.” “Even after what Death said?” Her eyes flicker briefly toward where Death stands silent. “Yes.” I turn toward Death. “Answer me clearly,” I demand. “Was her affection for me part of the design?” Death does not hesitate. “No.” “Not even indirectly?” “No.” “Not through proximity? Not through engineered encounters?” “Encounters were probable. Emotion was not.” I stare hard. “You are certain?” “Yes.” Nova’s voice softens. “You see? Even Death cannot control the heart.”

Despair weighed heavily upon my trembling body. But Damian yet remained unaffected, his gaze void of any warmth or understanding. "I’ve told you countless times, contract wife, I am not my father. Your dreams hold no meaning to me," he uttered, his voice devoid of empathy. "Your ambitions are irrelevant. You are here to serve me and fulfill my desires. Your emotions, as long as they don't disrupt this façade of a marriage, are inconsequential..." His words trailed off as he approached me. How could someone be so devoid of emotion and empathy? How could anyone be this heartless?

Have I gone mad that I can't feel empathy anymore? I don't feel any ounce of pity or remorse. In fact, I don't feel anything. Not even satisfaction. That numb sensation you get when you wake up in the morning and do your routine before anything else because it's become too usual that nothing about it is special...yes, that's how I feel.

But perhaps it meant nothing. The other half of my soul was too numb to emotions for something like this. He did not care about my feelings because he was simply incapable of feeling anything at all. The one who can't sense his own sentiments how would he ever understand the importance of this eternal bond that is not meant to be severed but to be fulfilled? ******

She asked him direct questions. "What did it feel like? The Grey Sorrow?" Arin paused his carving. "It felt… quiet. The noise in your head… it just stops. The worries. The fears. The… joys. It all goes away. There is only the task. The order. It is… efficient." "Efficient?" Sela’s voice was sharp. "It sounds like death." "Death is a cessation of function," Arin recited. "The Grey Sorrow optimized function by removing inefficient variables. Emotion is an inefficient variable."
