Limitless Abyss Novels & Stories

"I don't deserve to live anymore. I should have just died with you." "No, you can't!" I said firmly, with a shake of my head. "You must continue living on! You have to live well on my behalf, too! "I really wish that you'd be able to find your happiness, Vicky…" Just then, the ambulance sirens got louder, and Victoria's soul began to fade. "Jo! Don't leave me!" she exclaimed, grabbing me tightly. "Don't leave me, please! Don't go!" I smiled lightly at her as my soul slowly disappeared into specks of light. This time, I felt the force that had been imprisoning my soul all along finally vanishing in silence.

"It's called the Abyss. Common amongst gifted with mind related abilities, it is a state in which the individual is able to use his/her gift at frighteningly optimal levels and for a long stretch without stopping. The downside of being in this state is the temporary loss of emotion, conscience and in the worst case, lack of recognition of loved ones. A Gifted in the abyss may attack loved ones the same way as he would an enemy." Except from "The Gifted Mind" by Irish vampire scientist Dr Alice Kerry.

Not that she had a worldview to begin with. "Jasper, what you’re doing is not right..." Summer was nibbled by Jasper. "You will fall into the abyss with me." Jasper did not think so and continued his most important task at hand. Summer’s mind went a little blank as she frowned slightly and said, "Have you ever heard a saying, ‘When you gaze too long into the abyss, the abyss gazes back at you’?" "Yep, I am the abyss, you can only look at me now!" Jasper was a little angry. "Can you concentrate a little more on what we’re doing?"

And it would corrupt you. “That abyss is too dangerous for you to go to” Beros spoke up again “I won’t let you do that, it killed you last time, remember?” And yet again, Beros was right. I had used every drop of my essence to come within the abyss and force Nyxar in, almost getting lost there myself. “The things that live there are things we cannot even speak of, things older than us Elara” Lioren kept talking. “What exactly is this abyss?” I had forgotten Alicent was here, she must have gotten lost in the conversation.

The air at the rim of the Abyssal Cradle did not scream; it hummed with a low, bone-deep resonance that vibrated through the marrow of every living soul. Standing at the edge of the sheer basalt precipice, Kira looked down into the rift. Below them lay no earth, no stone, no water—only a vast, swirling vortex of absolute darkness streaked with violent veins of raw, uncontained crimson ley-fire. Reality at the perimeter felt paper-thin and fraying at the edges. Time moved erratically here; falling snowflakes froze mid-air, hovering like suspended glass shards before suddenly shattering into clouds of cold black dust.

'We're in the dream abyss. The dream abyss? SHIT! I didn't know anyone who had been to the dream abyss and back. This was a place where time and space do not exist. It's just one never-ending loop of darkness and emptiness. ONE BIG SEA OF NOTHINGNESS! 'But how do we get out?'

Cracks spread across their faces like fractured glass. Without even managing a scream, both figures crumbled into black ash and scattered into the surrounding mist. The chains wrapped around my mind shattered one after another. When the illusion finally disappeared, the Abyss revealed its true form for the very first time. Far away... At the very heart of the endless sea of gray mist... A colossal silhouette stretched toward the heavens. It was so impossibly vast that its branches looked like pillars holding this entire realm together. From its trunk and leaves radiated a breathtaking light unlike the violet glow I'd seen before.

Members only. I know what club he's talking about. I've heard whispers—Callum's teammates, late-night conversations I wasn't supposed to overhear. A place called Lux. Underground. Invite-only. The kind of place where NFL players go to disappear for a night, where everything is off the record and nothing leaves the building. And Caleb is taking some other girl there tonight.

"Lies! It changes nothing!" It thrust both hands toward the sky, and the remaining Abyss Gates burst open all at once. Darkness poured into the valley in thick, endless waves, spilling over the broken stone like a flood with no bottom. Dozens of towering shapes began climbing free of the abyss. Some had wings that dragged across the broken ground. Others crawled on legs too numerous to count. Each one looked older, and hungrier, than the last. Captain Lyra stared, ashen. "There are more."

We clung to each other, dripping and trembling, eyes locked. I couldn’t stop the smile that tugged at my lips. He was calm, dangerous, and utterly consuming. We rose from the water together, bodies still pressed, dripping and sensitive. We were beyond desire now. We were entangled,body and soul tied by the forbidden thrill that neither of us could resist. The night was far from over.
