Liminal Monsters Novels & Stories

Was Chelsea's sighting accurate, or was this an elaborate deception to throw me into turmoil? The forest was eerie, filled with the caws of crows and shrouded in fog. The ground was uneven and treacherous, but I pressed on. Finally, emerging on the other side, I was confronted by an old mansion, surrounded by a defensive barrier and guarded by demons. It appeared Melina had been truthful; not all monsters were eradicated.

Said David with a hint of nervousness, his unit complied and started to draw back towards the open wall slowly, but they started to sustain more and more injuries as the attack was relentless, the cries of the little rhino were drowned by the animalistic growls of their foes. Stranger creatures started to appear, a jellyfish with 3 fingered hands at the end of each tentacle floated down from the sky, those “arms” started to stretch and grab all the corpses and living monsters that were unlucky, just 2 seconds passed before they were devoid of any blood and crumbled into ash. A mass of black flesh filled to the brim with screaming faces slowly crawled up from the forest, leaving behind a trai

[Content warning: Mentions of death, blood, trauma, and disgusting elements] Danielle and the male lay awake silently beside her, shivering in terror. Emlyn gulped uneasily as he tried his best to calm down the raging fear in his mind. Luckily for them, for some reason, the monster was no longer facing them but opposite with its back filled with wriggling limbs before them. It was quite disturbing but much better than the maggot-covered, huge-sized face that had been facing them.

Elias stepped in front of Lena again, energy shaking through him. Alexander limped to his side. The original prototype beside him. Three men. One monster. Facing three evolved nightmares. Elias whispered: “Lena. When I say run…” Lena grabbed his arm. “No. NO! I’m not leaving—” “Lena—LOOK AT THEM!” Elias pointed at the monsters crawling closer. “They want to consume you. To take your power. To become what I am.” Lena’s breath stopped. “What… what I am…?”

From the shadows, silhouetted figures began to emerge, their eyes glowing with an eerie light. Selene's voice, filled with urgency, echoed from a distance, "Guardians, be wary! The harp doesn't just bridge realms; it also attracts those who dwell in the spaces between." The guardians, now encircled by the shadowy entities, readied themselves for a confrontation. But as the first notes of a counter-melody began to form, a massive rift cracked open in the sky, revealing an army of mirrored beings from various realities, led by the all-too-familiar mirrored Isolde.

“Shhh, we're surrounded!” At first, Liam wasn't sure what that meant, until he finally looked around and found dozens of monsters surrounding them. The forms of the monsters were various. Some of them looked like slime humans and were hunchbacked. Some of them have tails. Some of them looked like messy piles of meat. But they had very sharp claws, as well as a very large mouth. "They want to eat us!" shrieked Liam. He hurriedly used mind links to wake up his members. “Guys, wake up! Fast wake! The monsters are surrounding us right now.” He saw the members awake with a start. "Wake up the Fire Blood fighters beside you!"

We're sitting on a bench in the waiting area, mom and a nurse who was tending her wounds are also with us. "We were on our way to the neighboring pack to deliver some goods as Alpha Jarek ordered us, but we were suddenly attacked by some strange looking creatures -I have never seen anything like them before" "What do they look like? Can you describe them?" I asked. Her eyes blinked rapidly as she tried to hold back her tears. "They looked like giant bats, but they're not bats..." Giant bats, but they're not bats? "...they had very long nose but only one nostril, pink eyes that had murderous intentions lurking in them, six legs and blade like arms with no fingers or claws"

"It’s in the walls of this house. And I’m the only one who knows the sequence." I looked at Dominic and Killian. "Kill him," I commanded. "Kill him, and maybe I’ll let one of you live long enough to see your child." The shift in the room was instantaneous. The two monsters didn't hesitate. They didn't argue. They turned on Miller with a synchronized brutality that was beautiful and horrifying to behold. As the sounds of bone breaking and muffled screams filled the library, I picked up the laptop and slipped out through the broken glass into the freezing Highland rain.

But here, on the peak, the sky was a swirling vortex of black and gold. And there, at the center of the bone circle, stood the Monster. It was ten feet tall, a nightmare of shifting geometry. It had the shadow of a wolf, but its limbs were made of the same silver liquid as Julian’s eyes. It didn't have a face, just a vertical slit of violet light that bled static into the air. "Kael?" I stepped forward, the dagger held low.

Chapter 146: The Shattered Hives The sound of shattering glass was a synchronized symphony of doom. Across the cavernous breeding facility, thousands of cylinders released their containment seals at once. The bioluminescent orange fluid poured onto the pristine white marble floor in a steaming, viscous wave, rushing around Natalia’s boots like a rising tide of liquid fire. From the empty husks of the vats, the obsidian monsters stepped forward. Their seven-foot metallic frames gleamed under the emergency strobes, their elongated, scythe-like claws clicking rhythmically against the stone as they caught their first scent of living prey.
