Grim Reaper Hourglass Novels & Stories

“We’re gonna teach this fucker a lesson.” I lowered the LED a few inches and spotted the disgusting thing crawling up the wall. I could try several paragraphs of description, and you will think I should’ve just said it looked like Gollum and save everybody time. So yeah, that’s what it looked like. “A crawler?” I said mockingly. “You fucking roach are the infamous Skippy?” The dark thing tried to sneak into the door to Quaker Hall basement, but I aimed my LED at the doorway, making it crawl back and up toward the ceiling.

I had unknowingly closed my eyes. But when I opened them, the two alphas were face to face. He was foaming at the mouth as he banged against the glass, ramming it with his whole body as it shook. Dr. Dawson smirked. He taped the glass with a mocking expression. As the specimen had nothing he could think of doing for more intimidation. He started to pace back and forth, staring Dr. Dawson down, growling at him and baring his teeth.

Only the Moon Goddess knows how many phones I've had to buy for her, she thought with a flicker of annoyance. She opened the message. It was a picture. Her eyes widened in horror. It was a symbol, carved deep into stone. A twisted crescent moon crossed with a dagger. Reaper's Guild. Those damn professional assassins. Her fingers flew across the screen with a terse reply to Lyra: That's a Reaper's Guild mark. They're Elite Rogue kidnappers, quite expensive and they leave no loose ends. If they left that, they wanted it seen. Be careful, Lyra. They knew you were coming.

“She might not have the body that you do, but she’s not a slut. She still has track of her body count, unlike you.” “Please leave.” “What the fuck!” I snapped. “You know what? If you don’t want me, I’d get her to leave you,” I sneered. “Look there.” I glanced towards the door. “You see it, huh?” I said, letting a sly grin spread across my face. “Yes, I got all this on recording, and these glasses aren’t ordinary,” I whispered, removing the glasses. “See, it has a camera. It’s a meta glass, sweetheart .”

Bright red, like fire. "What the hell is this?" the aggressive man shouted, his voice cracking with fear. The symbols flared brighter. The heat in the air intensified, becoming unbearable. And then, from the center of the circle, something began to rise. A stone pedestal emerged from the sand, smooth and black. And on top of it sat a single object. An hourglass. The sand inside was blood red, and it had already begun to fall. "You have seventy-two hours," the voice said. "Survive, and you may live to witness the next trial. Fail, and you will remain lost... forever."

Reaper I made good on my promise. I turned the entire southside into a slaughterhouse. For the first twenty-four hours, the Midnight Reapers moved like storms. We kicked in the doors of every known Skulls trap house, every front business, every warehouse by the docks. We broke bones, shattered teeth, and dragged their bleeding lieutenants into the mud.

Persephone’s Folly Bridge was too powerful, right? This was simply a one-sided slaughter! Ksitigarbha was really awesome. Furthermore, he had just used a magical treasure. He still had the Requiem Clock. Once the Requiem Clock rang, the undead would shiver as if they had heard the death knell.

Make all thresholds one threshold. Open it. Let everything trapped move. Let everything outside enter. No more lost dead. The next trouble arrived with dirt under its nails. In the false shrines, symbols had weight. It stained sleeves, cracked floors, moved through crowds, and made ordinary people choose sides before they understood the question. The cold incense smoke pressed against every window while wet footsteps marked the next turn of the case. Nothing about the Shrine War felt clean. It felt like another emergency arriving before the last one had been wiped off the stones.

The deer was cut and waiting, rich and red. Above them, the giant hourglass turned once more. Golden sand spilled. “You may begin.”

Running is not an option because it has been tried before and those who ran were always caught and killed. "Mother I am very aware of this. I know that you are all concerned in your way for me and I thank you for that. I will say that I know that there are many possibilities of what could happen to me, but I am tired of worrying over something that I have no control over. I wanted to enjoy the little bit of time that I had left. I have heard from the leaders of the village that this year there is only going to be one hundred males and females for the reaping, and out of that one hundred, only Michael is from this village. That means that most likely I will never be coming back here." I hear
