Nightwatcher Zero Novels & Stories

I turned to see them—Watchers, emerging from the shimmering surface of the wall. Their presence was commanding. They moved with precision, their black armor gleaming in the fading sunlight, weapons glowing faintly with a restrained power. The air seemed to hum around them, a tangible aura of authority. One of them stepped forward, a woman with a scar slashing diagonally across her right eye. Her cape billowed slightly as she moved, and the tattoo of an eagle’s wing marked her cheek, exactly as the stories had described. I recognized her immediately—the mage from before, the one whose magic can command thick vines from the earth. Her presence was commanding, her gaze piercing.

EZREAL’S POV Then I saw it. Three lines that were written darker than the rest. ‘When the Watcher sleeps. When the Bell does not ring. When thorns remember why they were grown.’ My mouth went dry. Vincent noticed immediately. “Boss, what did you see?” I swallowed. “The Bell.” Aiden’s eyes widened. “The old chapel bell.” “Which hasn’t rung since the schism,” Baron finished. “Because it cracked.” “And the Watcher,” I added, dread curling tight in my gut, “is the constellation Malrick followed. It ‘sleeps’ during the new moon.”

She asked. The child pointed downward. Toward the floor. Silence followed. Then everyone felt it. A vibration. Low. Steady. Growing stronger. THUMP. THUMP. THUMP. Nathan immediately looked disturbed. “I don’t like that sound.” Nobody did. Then Elliot’s tablet suddenly flashed. Multiple alerts. DOZENS of alerts. “Oh no.” Again. Always again. Victor groaned. “Elliot.” Elliot looked up. His voice barely worked. “They’ve released the Guardians.”

"We must perform the light binding. Now!" Raven trembled. "I don't know how!" "I'll guide you!" exclaimed Valtorius. "You just need to follow my energy!" And just then, from behind the unnatural shadows, two shapeless eyes appeared-not eyes in the usual sense, but two points of void light that stared straight into their souls. The Night Watcher... had arrived. The hallway was now a living nightmare. Valtorius and Raven ran with all their might, their breathing ragged, heartbeats pounding in their ears.

“May the Goddess watch over you, good reverend.” Smiling, Zen waved goodbye to the accommodating gatekeeper. “We’ll find your key. I promise,” he waved and left with Charlie leading the way. The labyrinth was as dark as the gatekeeper had informed them. Truthfully, Zen did not really need the Watcher’s Lamp. If they had Armoured Slime Boss Eyes, Zen could easily craft an accessory that negates all blindness effects and detects infrared light, providing the user with permanent night vision. Liu Feng would gladly loan his accessory to Zen if he requested it. However, Party Freedom did not seem to be interested in farming. They were rushing to push Damian and Zen to the new stage, and it was qu

The monitor labeled the reactivation sequence as: > MIRA-VN: 0_0_1 / ALPHA ROOT DESIGNATION: ZERO ACCESS: SYSTEM OVERRIDE Adrian stood so fast his chair fell backward. Sera’s voice cut in from comms: “What the hell is ‘Zero’?” Elias stared at the blinking cursor and said, dead quiet: “It’s what Mira made before you.” In the hall… Zero walked barefoot along the steel floor. Each step corrected itself. Each muscle learned as it moved. She didn’t breathe out of necessity. She breathed to practice what it meant to be alive.

The monitor flickered one last time, showing the destination. The Watchers’ Home. A massive, geometric ribcage of white quartz floating in the lunar orbit. [SOVEREIGN COLLISION IMMINENT] [TARGET: SECTOR ZERO] I clutched Leo to my stone chest, my heart thudding a final, erratic rhythm of structural failure. "We're here, baby," I murmured, the words trapped in the quartz of my jaw. The Rebirth Tower hit the lunar base like a hammer hitting a mirror. Darkness took the bridge.

Two figures stood at the observation glass. Ahead: a frozen expanse older than recorded history. Below: a sealed experimental depth zone. At its center— A structure marked extinct. Activated. A low-frequency pulse emerged. Perfect alignment. With Alexander’s heartbeat. Vivienne’s retinal interface triggered without input. No command issued. No permission granted. Red text formed directly in her vision. WELCOME HOME, SUBJECT ZERO.

"Before I kill you." "Rush Balista, Leader of the Hunter Warrior Clan." He smiled as he took a step forward. "Now, you... are... mine." He leaped for me, but I grabbed him by the collar and threw him through the sliding glass doors. Glass crashed outward with him, splintering into the living room as Rush fell backward off the balcony, followed by his partner. They both flailed their arms and legs in the air as they fell hard onto the grassy courtyard. They got up, and then other members of Nightshade saw us and pointed up. They started climbing the side of the Compound, headed toward us, roaches crawling after fresh meat.

His goggle was broken in the process which made him mad. "You just dismantled my Rapidfire notice." He said looking at the broken goggle. "Surrender willingly or by death, we don't have to do this the hard way!" The watchers added in unison. Clancy chuckled "Neither!" He replied. Disturbed and angered, the Watchers walked towards him like controlled robots. Clancy on the other hands was relentless, he rushed forward and as he moved, he brought out his black OTS-02 Kiparises and aimed at them.
