Hubo Sa Dilim Novels & Stories

Alex Toby grunts with effort as we move the patch in place. It’s nothing more than a sheet of steel to frame one of the smaller tunnel entrances in the lab, creating an archway leading down into the glacial, blue-tinged darkness below. “Shit!” Toby huffs.

The air inside the entrance tunnel was thick with the smell of wet concrete and something sharper—the metallic tang of Oxidized Iron and the cloying, sweet stench of decay. "The doors were forced," Kazimir whispered, his hand tightening on his machete. He signaled for Mina and David to stay back. "This isn't a ruin. It’s an occupied territory." Elara leaned against the cold wall, her silver eyes flickering. The Neural-Matrix in her mind was humming in sympathy with the bunker’s ancient electrical hum. "They’re in the Signal-Hub," she breathed, her voice carrying that haunting, multi-tonal echo. "I can hear their machines. They sound... hungry."

"Dude, whatever it is you're thinking. It's a no." Haneul raised his eyebrow at LJ, "Let's go." The 5th Dimension (Olympus) Tina was in some kind of fish tank. Beside her, also in a tank, was Minho. Their eyes met, silently asking each other if they were alright. She only remembered stepping into the light and wanting to help Minho. After that, everything blacked out. Tina tried to say something first, though water only filled her lungs. She choked, expelling liquid from her system.

Soon, his figure disappeared into the dark tunnel. When the keg was full, they continued moving again and soon came across ES03 who was found digging the floor of the tunnel. Where he was digging had a tiny pool of water. Derrick stopped beside him. "What's up?" He asked "Taste the water." Derrick complied. "Salt. We are close to the sea?" "Or we are under it." "What!?" Exclaimed Lobo. "How can we be under the sea? How do we get out?! I… I can't swim!" Lobo let out in torrents. He was already sweating profusely.

She closes her eyes and follow what her heart told her. Abram was able to bring her passed Dzhimara’s new authority. She found herself traveling within the underground parts of the city and had to enter a tunnel which can be found behind an old restaurant building right in the middle of Dzhimara's town. Abram hold her close to him the whole time and it made her smile. When drunken men along the streets they were in, seeing the tunnel is nearby bars and tavern, tried to leer and tease her, Abram's growled at them causing them to move away.

Bram picked up his jacket and put it on as he strode out of his office. He then rushed toward the hub while nobody was looking, with Adrian and Vivian following closely behind. “I may know where the entrance to Scorpio Hub is but we’re going to need a Luposian’s ID card to get inside, sir. I’ll take you two there to have a look. We’ll think of something when we get there.” Soon, Bram brought Adrian and Vivian to the deepest parts of the hub. Inside were countless shipments containing items of all varieties. He pulled open one of the racks and lo and behold, there was indeed a door disguised as a wall.

“But we have stopped at a part of the mountain that looks just like the rest we have been seeing as we circled for most of the day.” “We must wait here until we are allowed entrance,” Hussin said, his small beady eyes focused on the rocky patch of earth. “Grub does not see a door, and Grub does not feel like digging his way in either,” Grub said, rolling his left sleeve back to show his thick bicep and a glittering tattoo on the innermost part of his bicep muscle. “Grub was once dug out of glittering rocks mine shaft that collapsed on him. Grub will not be digging again.”

"Kainis na babaeng 'to. Bahala ka nga!" Padabog akong naupo sa gilid ng kama niya at napa-krus arm. Nakasimangot na iginala ko ang mata ko sa madilim na sahig at di ko naiwasang mapangiwi sa nakikita ko. Ang liit naman ng silid na ito. Madilim na nga, masikip pa. Makalat pa. Tsaka, ano ba yun? Pinagkainan niya?

The obsidian plate dissolved into a pool of liquid heat, and we descended into the dark. The tunnel was narrow, the walls made of raw, unworked stone that bled a soft, blue phosphorescence. As we walked, the "Hive" followed. I could hear the rhythmic clicking of their obsidian claws on the stone above us, their black-grey bodies a silent, recording tide. "They're inside my head, Mother," Leo gasped, his hand clutching his chest where his runes were turning a frantic, flickering violet. "They're pulling the memories of the Tenth Cycle... they're trying to find the bypass for the Hearth's defenses!".

she groans. I roll my eyes and turn to Daniel who is staring in awe at the water. "What the hell is wrong with you?" I ask, raising my eyebrow at him. "Yeah you look like you're high!" Diana adds. His head snaps up. "What no—I'm not high! It's just—," he sighs in frustration, "—if you look closely, you can see the luminescent creatures at the bottom.” He shrugs. I peer down into the black water and realize he is right. There are tiny glowing spots way deep in the water. A smile crawls onto my face and I laugh a little. "Wow, that's amazing," I mutter.
