Mysterious City Novels & Stories

Walk outside and hail down a cab. "Hi. Can you take me to Belleville?" I ask the capped cabbie. "Sure, miss. First time in New York city?" "Oh, no. Definitely not my first," I say, and get into the cab. I have been gone for six months. In Australia. For some aboriginal study. Cavemen and what have you. It was some charming experience, and at one time, eerie. After meeting some old lady at a river who tells me to make three wishes that may or may not come true, I wonder what else life has in store for me.

Chapter 1: The Arrival As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows over the dusty road, a weary traveler approached the outskirts of a mysterious city cloaked in mist. The city seemed to materialize out of thin air, its spires reaching towards the heavens like fingers grasping at the sky. Curiosity mingled with apprehension as the traveler made his way through the imposing gates, their iron bars creaking ominously in the evening breeze. He could sense an air of mystery hanging over the city, like a shroud of secrets waiting to be unraveled.

It all started in the summer of 2018, with the mysterious disappearance of the two wealthiest men in Seattle. As written by Seattle Daily, “An unidentified body was found in the apartment of the richest most eligible bachelors in Seattle, The Hudson brothers who at this point are presumed the main suspects in this investigation whose whereabouts are currently unknown..”

Jason shook his head and Eric laughed while firing the car engine and they drove off again. ***** It was a long boring ride but they finally got to their destination just after sundown. "What is that?" Jason pointed forward as they neared a huge Gate with men in black carrying guns and patrolling around the Gate with a serious expression glued on their faces like a second face. The City was walled and sealed off with a huge Black Gate as if they were a part of another world, a world that doesn't belong to the one they knew. "Looks like something out of a storybook," Eric noted as they got pulled over. He turned the engine off and rolled down the window.

WELCOME TO H CITY was written on another one. Alex scoffed. Did they forget the meaning of *welcome*? H City was one of its kind, a place without rules guiding them from the government. The government of the City was not a strong one and the City happened to have been the center of the country and the most dreadful place to be for anyone willing to have a bright future. A lot of inappropriate things happened there with no one to arrest or be held responsible for anytime it happened because it was mostly because those who worked with the Mafias had secret identities and multiple ones at such to use for missions thereby proving hard to find.

he added before walking away, disappearing into the crowd like he’d never been there at all. Ari’s legs felt like lead as she watched him go. Her chest ached with the weight of a desire she couldn’t name, couldn’t fight, and maybe didn’t want to. And then she heard it: a low, mournful howl that rolled over the city rooftops, echoing through the alleys and streets. It wasn’t human. It wasn’t animal. It was something in between. Ari’s blood ran cold. The city, the danger, the man she shouldn’t want—it was all connected. And she had a feeling she’d just stepped into a world where the rules didn’t apply.

She was angry. But beneath the anger was something else. Fear. "What was he preparing me for?" Cael answered: "The truth." THE CITY OF ORIGINS The High Keeper pointed toward the mountains. "There." A massive city slowly emerged from the mist. Everyone stared. It was enormous. But unlike Valeris, there were no towering machines. Unlike Elysian, there were no artificial lights. The city looked ancient. Its buildings were made from white stone. Golden symbols covered the streets. At the center stood a massive circular structure.

The soldiers dispersed far to the sides, but still they were not able to block the entire border. Border? Border with Miros. Vic forced his consciousness to fly further over the road. She arched, crossed part of the forest and again broke into free space. Meadows, hills stretched out, and then the walls of a small city rose behind a wide full-flowing river. Vic shuddered again involuntarily. The city shimmered with an intense magical aura, it spread out in a wide, warning strip far into space. The Vistoles had never been here, but he knew that only one city in Myros could have such magical echoes - Carival, the city of magicians.

Just when everyone was a little disappointed, magnificent ruins of an ancient city finally appeared in front of them. The ruins of this ancient city were many times larger than those of the small town they had seen before. Towers and buildings stretched as far as the eye could see. The city walls were not completely collapsed. Half of the city was covered by sand and dust. From a distance, it looked like an endless stone forest, standing in the distance, full of a mysterious aura of death. "Could this be the center of the Reincarnation Region?" someone asked.

But none knew how and why this is connected to that electric power plant. It was heavily raining there at the night. A van entered into the power plan area very quickly and stopped in front of a door where Dr. Sheen was standing with an umbrella. He shouted, “Jordan, take the body and keep it in proper place and be very careful”. It is few minutes before dawn, A boy of 14 years old sanding on a hill outside the restricted area, seeing that the water is gone from the lake and two persons came out from the bottom ground of the lake.
