Escape The Fate And Falling In Reverse Novels & Stories

My left arm, the obsidian monument, was a senseless weight, but I used it as a shield, the stone-flesh reflecting the kinetic shrapnel like a basalt wall. "Ryan! Extraction! NOW!" I shrieked into the void. The "Ghost/Admin" frequency on my wrist terminal flared a final, dying blue. It wasn't Kael. It was the legacy he had left in the hardware. [EXTRACTION INITIATED: CITADEL ESCAPE POD 02] [TARGET: THE SURFACE] The floor beneath us gave way. We weren't falling into the dark this time. We were being launched through the burning ribs of the tower, hurtling toward the bruised blue marble of the Earth below.

At the silence waiting to become law. And I said nothing. Because I didn’t trust any answer it could accept. The silence stretched. Longer. Heavier. Final. And then the system responded. Not with correction. Not with negotiation. But with conclusion. “UNDEFINED VARIABLE DETECTED.” The ground beneath us shifted violently. Nathan grabbed me but it was already too late. The world fractured. And the last thing I heard before everything collapsed was: “REWRITE INITIATED.”

I wanted to save my family. I wanted to save people from death. I thought preserving memories meant preserving the person. But I learned too late that a person is more than their memories. Evan slowly looked at Ethan. Choice. Evelyn nodded. Exactly. The young Ethan suddenly raised his hand. The entire network froze. Ethan couldn't move. Neither could Jason. Rose's eyes widened. What is happening? The young Ethan smiled. Ascension failed. But the experiment did not. Ethan struggled against the invisible force.

I looked at him. He was broken. Defeated. Human. I lowered my knife. "Scarlett—" "I can't." "Scarlett—" "I said I can't." I walked away. I left him there. Alone. Broken. Defeated. The facility began to collapse. The infected began to scream. We ran. Through the corridors. Through the doors. Into the night. The facility exploded behind us. Voss was gone. The merge was stopped. The world was saved. I collapsed.

The failsafe spoke again, voice still calm, still measured. “Final request. Voluntary compliance.” Melissa squeezed my hand hard enough to hurt. “I am not leaving them,” she said. The failsafe lowered its hand slowly. “Then consequence path is initiated.” The ground dropped. Not collapsed. Dropped. Like gravity had been reassigned. We fell as the street folded inward, reality peeling apart beneath us like layers of paper tearing free from glue. As we plunged into darkness, the last thing I saw was the failsafe standing perfectly still above the collapsing world.

I push her hand to loosen her grip. “Sorry,” she mumbled. The crowd started to intensify the atmosphere. They continuously shouts his name… “L. L. L!” I covered my ears to save my self from their noises. I closes my eyes when Nena suddenly shouted, “OMG! HE'S BACK!” With that, I open my eyes and shift back my attention inside that risky cage. Linus successfully got out from his opponent grips. Thus, I found out that even I feel aghast because of it.

I never wanted it to come to this, but they had pushed me too far. Wayne, realizing the situation had turned against him, tried to pull the crying, breathless Maya away so that he could escape. However, my two bodyguards held her firmly in place. I looked coldly at him and said, “Wayne, now it’s your turn to face judgment.” I tapped my finger lightly, and a screen lit up behind us. A high-interest loan note appeared, along with a covertly filmed video of him gambling in a dingy, rundown room.

My shrill scream echoed through the room. With a sharp crack, my vision went black, and I nearly lost consciousness. “Please let me go. Tomorrow—no, I’ll leave Latia right now. I’ll disappear forever from Sam’s sight!” My voice was barely audible. The pain made my entire body spasm, and despair completely overwhelmed me. Isla let out a soft snort. “Only the dead can truly disappear. Continue!” The second finger was snapped. My whole body convulsed, cold sweat instantly soaking my clothes.

I nod and he went to sit at the coach again. I looked at Luca and share my theory to him, "Given the situation, there are three possible things that are currently happening. One, that thing is copying people's appearance. Two, it can now pass through hosts. And lastly, I hope it's not but it may be capable of turning into a human now. I hope that's not the case. A thing that can change it's appearance and hide it's scent and presence would be too tricky to be dealing with." I said to him hoping that one of those three should be right but I'm also still hoping it won't be the third one.

The surrounding skin was swollen and raw, the dried blood dark and crusted. My legs felt weak as I inched closer, trembling all over. I kneeled by her side, carefully cleaning her up. Eve kept her eyes tightly shut, but tears continued to stream down her cheeks. I hugged her trembling body tightly. "Eve, let’s try to escape again! I’m ready this time. We’ll go together." Her eyes fluttered open, a hint of confusion in them. "Can I... really still get out?" I nodded firmly. She gently squeezed my hand, and a flicker of hope returned to her eyes.
