Hack And Slash Reboot Novels & Stories

A single line of text appeared, written in a code that neither Julian nor the Original had programmed: [SYSTEM OVERRIDE: THE SOVEREIGN HAS ELECTED TO REBOOT.] The glass of the tank began to crack.

I refuse to lose it to a skeleton in a cave in the middle of a damn spruce forest. "We handle it like I always do. We both run into the room, swords out doing the slash and hack." "The slash and hack?" Hudson asks, not moving from his spot. "Yeah, when you run into the room screaming, slash your sword, and hack the skeletons." Is this a technique the military guy hasn't heard of? Hudson chuckles. "That is definitely not the proper procedure." "It's proper procedure in Dragons Reborn. Are you with me?" His character steps away from his small opening and gets closer to the hole I blew through the wall in the small room. "Always."

He looked at Silas and Lyra with the bored professional indifference of a zookeeper. "Sector 4-A and 4-B," the man said, tapping his tablet. "You've exceeded your designated exit time. The Curator is displeased with the narrative drift. Please step back into the sun. We have a 'Sequel' to film, and the audience is already losing interest in the 'Happy Ending'." The man raised the needle, and a wave of grey, anti-magic static expanded from it. "If you won't go back voluntarily," the man said, "we will have to initiate the 'Re-boot' sequence. And trust me, the 'Re-boot' doesn't include the father."

“I want them erased. No body, no trace, no fairy tale ending. I want the world to forget they ever existed.” There was a pause. Then a faint chuckle. “Consider it done.” Halvorsen hung up, staring out into the night where lightning flared across the clouds over the distant mountains. Somewhere out there, the wolves howled in victory. But he wasn’t finished—not by a long shot. He turned back to his desk, eyes narrowing at a blinking red file labeled: PROJECT: SERAPHIM – REBOOT His lips twisted into a cold, satisfied smile. “Let them celebrate,” he whispered. “Because when the next phase begins... even their gods won’t be able to save them.”

"The reboot erased the old laws. The road is free." Sienna laughed, a cold, melodic sound that echoed off the stone walls of the clubhouse. "The road is free, little Ghost, but the rider is not. Dax signed this in his own neural-imprint. If he breaks it, the reboot won't just reject him it will delete him to balance the ledger."

"Senna, did you think getting a second life meant you could do whatever you wanted? Too bad. This time around, I came back too." Her pupils shrank. The color in her face faded completely. "You... You were reborn too?" I did not answer. I just looked at her. Maggie rested a hand on my shoulder. Her voice was gentle, but the weight behind it was unmistakable. "Gage, the police are already downstairs. What do you want to do to her?" I looked at Senna's face, the same face I had once been obsessed with. Now, all I felt was revulsion. "Whatever she did to me and my father in the last life, I want it paid back a hundred times over."
