Novel & Cerita Nightscream Beast Machines

The machine began shaking. A warning alarm sounded. ERROR. The lights flashed. ERROR. I stepped backward. "What is happening?" Adrian grabbed my arm. "Stay behind me." The machine screamed. A burst of silver light exploded from the screen. My mark burned hotter than ever. I cried out. Adrian held onto me. "Lena!" Then suddenly— Everything stopped. The machine went completely silent. The lights shut off. The screens went black. The underground chamber fell into darkness. No alarms. No humming.

But the occasional flickers it gave showed that it was not dead, but alive! The strange crystal in Aiden’s hand was a treasure from his family. It was called a Beast Crystal and it was used to locate members of Aiden’s race by inducing hallucinations of uncommon beasts in the minds of the victims. If the victim slept soundly without any hallucinations, that person was a regular old human. If there were results, then it meant that the person was of Aiden’s race – the Beastman Race! The user of the crystal could tell what was happening because the crystal allowed them to view the contents of the dream through the eyes of the conjured creature. So while they may not be able to see the beast, th

The elevator dropped not up, not to another floor below, or underground. I felt the shift in the air the moment we passed beneath the casino’s shell. The scent changed, no more stale alcohol and sweat. Down here, it was sterile. Liam adjusted his suit jacket. “They’re cycling through southern regions tonight. Mostly unregistered wolves, low-profile. We’re not looking for drama. You said you wanted someone distant. Someone clean.” I nodded but didn’t respond. My gut twisted. I didn’t like this. I didn’t like the idea of buying someone who didn’t even know what she was being pulled into. But this wasn’t about love. This wasn’t about romance. This was about surviving a curse that refused to loo

his voice jerked me back to reality. "hmm can I get your order"I said trying to sound confident, his voice sent me to planet zecury,I don't even know if it exists. "Two pot pies and one smoothie" he said back, with his eyes fixed on me. For the first time I saw genuine admiration and not the usual look of lust I was used to.

Another monster lurched through the fog—this one leaner, fast, and made of what looked like glass and shadow. “I got the screamer!” I yelled. “I’ll take the creep!” Damian responded, ducking a black tendril as the beast shrieked and swiped for his throat. Norma hurled a potion that exploded in a flash of golden fire. “INCOMING!” It hit the third beast that had tried sneaking in from the left. The potion melted half its skull. “You’re welcome!” she added. The Rift pulsed again. Four more creatures crawled out—one slithering, one winged, two just... teeth.

SWISSHHH A change occurred there, creating darkness, and that darkness trapped a number of beasts within it. As a result, all the beasts and creatures inside suddenly went berserk and transformed into strange forms. Meanwhile, right in the middle of the sky, the object that had been thrown was slowly forming into a strange little crystal. The crystal emitted black energy that immediately entered the beasts’ bodies, causing the color of every beast inside to turn pitch black with matching red eyes. The figure watched it all from afar with glee; now nothing could stop the process, and it was simply waiting for the next victims to enter so it could turn them into its puppets. “Hahaha, speeding

I felt his awakening power pulse outwards, like heat radiating off a blacksmith's forge—unsteady, fierce, barely held in check. "Spread out," he snapped. Don't let them corner us. But we were already too late. The first wave emerged from the Gate's depths. What made them so awful wasn't their power, but their variety. Each machine was distinct, modified on the fly. One scuttled low to the floor on insect-like legs, its forearms tipped with blades of pure light. Another floated, its midsection split into spinning rings covered in strange symbols, bending the air around it. And a third unfolded like a broken star, sharp angles rearranging as it honed in on Lysera.

Not footsteps. Something above them. Silas pointed upward. “What’s that light?” Damian’s heart sank. A small red beam moved slowly between the treetops. Then another. And another. Three hovering machines emerged through the branches. Compact. Silent. Scanning. Drones. Helix surveillance drones. One of them pivoted suddenly. Its sensor light flashed across the forest floor. And locked directly onto them.

SARAH The stadium lights were so bright they made the falling snow look like glitter. Loud. Blinding. Electric. And somehow… I was still invisible in all of it. The crowd roared as Henry skated past center ice, slicing through defenders like he owned the entire rink. Of course he did—Captain, golden boy, the school’s pride, the Blake everyone wanted to take pictures with. “Henry! Henry! Henry!” Their voices shook the dome, echoing off the frosted glass.

It’s hard to hold the shield with this pain in my stomach, and I’m trying hard not to break my concentration and look down at myself, because now it feels like warm blood is dripping from an open wound in my abdomen. The first dog-creature lets out a high-pitched whine and turns, running away from me. “That’s what I thought.” And then the other starts sprinting toward me. The creatures jump into the air at the same time, crashing into each other. A puff of that oozy, black smoke clouds around them, and the bigger of the two lands on the ground first, with its teeth clamped around the other’s neck. It’s not killing it, but absorbing it. The two merge together as one, doubling in size.
