Escaping The World Novels & Stories

“We can only put this world on hold, not return it.” Luna was stumped. Now, what should she do? “I don’t want to rush you either, but the situation you're in is uncommon. Hosts that want to return to their world usually complete their worlds by now. For hosts that do more than 10 worlds, are usually ones who voluntarily stay on.” Luna pondered for a moment. Was it better to risk failing this world or risk forgetting her family? "What if I screw up?” "It'll be fine.” "...How’s it fine? Worst-case scenario, the world will end up destroyed like the one with Vlad, won't it?”

Kieran made a sharp gesture, and the shadow domain instantly expanded, plunging the entire church into darkness. Everyone but me was frozen in the gloom. Even Lucian was held fast by countless shadows, unable to move. "Let him go!" I roared. Kieran teleported in front of me. Ignoring my struggles, he forcefully swept me up and rushed out of the church. A black helicopter hovered overhead. A few minutes later, I was deposited on the cabin sofa. The helicopter ascended rapidly, leaving Los Angeles behind. "Where are you taking me? Let me go!" I lunged for the cabin door.

You can't go back on your word," I hard someone say and I turned around to find Henry walking over. He had a charming smile on his face. It was clear he had heard my declaration. I was instantly embarrassed. "You are done?" I asked, trying to change the topic. I looked to find that the alpha lone wolf had been killed. When I looked around most of the Lone wolves had been handled and the rest we're escaping. Only then did I release a breath. Henry did not look injured as he stood before me and took my hand in his. "If I see you near my mate again, I will kill you," he warned Mason and Mason instantly deflated. I could tell he had finally accepted that we could not be together as he turned and

She looked at Yolanda, who was trying to please her without any response. Despite using various tactics, Yolanda couldn't manipulate Samantha. She was really on the verge of breaking down. She checked the time. It was almost time for the event. She gave up completely and said, "Samantha, let's escape together." Yolanda wanted to shed a sympathetic tear for herself as she thought of what she had said before. She wouldn't have said those things if she had known Samantha was Sophia, but it was too late for regrets now. If Samantha didn't want to go, then she would have to take her with her. At least she had to leave this city first. It would be best to leave the country.

My eyes lock on a figure in a dark hooded top disappearing behind a tree. “I come to apologize, and you try to kill me,” I murmur. “This is even worse than a Christmas movie. At least no one tried to kill anyone in one of those.”

The entire city had descended into what felt like hell on earth. System: [World Self-Destruction Countdown: 9 hours, 58 minutes, 2 seconds.] [World collapse is accelerating! Spatial instability is increasing! The Host is advised to speed up the sacrifice process!] Dean gritted his teeth as unbearable pain spread through his body. The loss of his life force was accelerating rapidly. “Sophia, don’t be afraid. I’m here. Very soon, you’ll wake up again.” [Vitality sacrifice in progress! Host’s vitality lost: 80%! Pain level: Maximum!]

_ _ _ I’m screaming as my feet hit the ground in that strange other world, as I rip my elbow back in the way that Blaze taught me, catching my mate – my fucking mate – hard in the ribs. But he just laughs and lets me push him away. I stumble forward, hardly able to catch myself as I look frantically around at this horrible, dark world. My eyes flash up to the three moons above me for just an instant before I whirl, my canines extended, to snarl at my captor. Immediately, I try to throw myself back to my home world, to leave this horrible place. I beg, in my soul, for the world to turn again, to send me back as it did before.

A crack appeared in the glass ceiling above the Core-Nexus, a tiny trickle of black Atlantic water beginning to hiss into the room. "We have to go," Ethan said, lifting me into his arms. "The Vesper is our only way out." We fled toward the docking bay as the Azores Uplink began its final descent into the abyss. The 230,000-word journey had reached its digital end. We had broken the spine of the world’s control, and as the station vanished into the dark behind us, I realized that we were no longer the "Anomaly" and the "Guardian." We were just two people, in a silver needle, in the middle of a very big, very quiet ocean.

No wonder people paid so much to live up here. We have no real destination in mind, no way to know when we’ve reached a spot where the woman from the other world can open a portal. Our plan is simply to keep walking, ascending ever higher into the hills and getting farther and farther away from Alcatraz, until Radar informs us of an approaching Anomaly. When that happens, we’ll have to hope it’s the portal we’re waiting for. If it is, then ten of us plus Kai will step through into a world I can barely even imagine.

With a jolt and a hiss of escaping air, the pod lurched forward, ripping them away from the freighter and its dangers. The escape pod journey was a blur of light and sound. Maya clung to Amara, their bodies pressed together for warmth and comfort. As the pod descended towards the unknown world below, a myriad emotions swirled within Maya - relief, exhaustion, and a flicker of fear for what awaited them on the ground.
