Novel & Cerita Intruder In The Dust Book

My eyes peered at this one book, it was a storybook about the dreamscape, and as I scanned through the introduction…there were walkers on it. Excitedly, I went out of the restricted area before bringing the book to my post. Luckily, no one noticed my disappearance. To be continued…

"You already have exactly what you came for. The money has been released and the trust is wide open. Whatever my mother sent you here to do is finished, so just take what you have and go." The intruder tilted their head to the side in a strange, mechanical way that chilled me more than the freezing air ever could, and they stepped away from Darius to start circling me in a slow, predatory walk. They moved with a kind of grace that told me they had spent their entire life learning how to dismantle human bodies the way I had spent my life learning how to dismantle corporate ledgers. I could feel their eyes on me through the mask, judging my weight and my reach, looking for the easiest way to p

I knew she had probably blocked me again. I returned to the dorm in a daze and stared blankly for a long time at the scratch card I had just exchanged. Finally, I gathered the courage to start scratching. First row, nothing. Second row, nothing either. By the third row, still nothing. By the time I reached the last row, I closed my eyes in resignation and scratched randomly. After a long moment, I opened my trembling eyes. I had won! The prize column read five million dollars!

One of our mutual friends suddenly messaged me, complaining nonstop. [Bro, this kid is going to be the death of me! Joanna called me and told me she wanted to introduce a talented employee to me. I figured even if he wasn't at your level, he'd at least be somewhat decent, right? But this kid's a total nightmare! He plays games in the office all day, interrupts everyone else’s work, and even orders people to bring him tea and coffee!] I immediately realized who he was talking about.

The next time we crossed paths, we would be nothing but strangers. … [Extra Chapters] Sophie was six years old this year. Wearing her hair in twin pigtails, she skipped and hopped along the pavement, the butterfly bows on her hair ties bouncing up and down with every step. "Danielle! Danielle!" She threw herself into Danielle's arms as the latter crouched down to wipe the cookie crumbs from the corner of her mouth. "Slow down. What if you trip and fall?" "You'll always catch me!" Sophie giggled, flashing a smile that revealed her missing front tooth.

I hesitated before stepping in, some part of me hoping the door would shut itself, trap the secrets away, keep them buried. The air inside was thick and cold. Scrolls and ledgers were stacked in uneven piles, the smell of dust and ink biting at my throat. I lit a lantern and walked through the aisles, hands trailing the spines of forgotten books like they might cry out if I passed the wrong one. I felt like an intruder. Like whatever lived in these pages would rather rot in peace than be read. "Show me," I whispered. "If there’s something here, just show me."

Making up my mind, I quickly hid the book in my shirt and hurried out before she could get to me. “I am coming,” I yelled, feeling heavy from the book weight. ************ My body jerked violently at the sound in the room. I squinted my eyes to get a view of what was moving in the darkness. My nose scrunched at the familiar odd smell from these empire folks that I still struggle to adjust to. I lay stiffly when I heard the intruder whisper to him or herself. My hand moved shakily toward the bed lamp to put on the light, but the intruder caught my movement and unquestioningly jumped at me. I gasped as I felt the cold edge of the knife the intruder was holding miss me slightly. I turned quickl

Some parts of the edges were smoothly scraped while other parts were left disfigured. I stepped into the entrance, and then I saw another entrance without a door. Instantly, I knew that was where the voices came from so I slowly unsheathed my dagger to avoid making a sound. Moving close enough to the entrance, I realized that Thalia’s letter had saved me from a lot of trouble. She was trying to tell me an easier way of getting into King Iris palace without following the normal way where I’d have to fight with hundreds of Soldiers. The opportunity has come. A chance to set things in place and bring an end to the bloodshed. I make a move through the entrance, and more candle lights welcomed me

Sniffing carefully to make sure he is not being followed, he pushes the door open. Behind the door is a large room with thousands of shelves lined in straight lines. Each shelf has over hundreds of books which are thick with dust and cobwebs. A strong scent of sewage and fungi is in the air but Eduard is not bothered by it. He holds the lamp higher and walks ahead. Mice scurry off as he approaches a shelf in the farthest corner. Scanning through the dusty shelves, he finally finds a thick leather bound book. He takes it out and dusts it well.

My eyes narrowed, slowly taking steps forward, as I try to see what was beneath the thick fog surrounding me. There was nothing but silence. All I could hear was the fire and debris slowly falling but, it felt like someone is watching me. Deep ahead, someone is waiting, putting a pause on their brakes, trying to pinpoint the right time to move forward. This is... "INTRUDER!" My voice roared, filled with rage and fury as I extended both of my arms forward. I let my chains go out, thousands of them, larger and more sturdy than all those I have ever created.
