Re Zero Rem Novels & Stories

Just one. A single line of green text appeared on the main screen. REBOOT COMPLETE. Then, a second line. HELLO, MOTHER. I stared at the screen. Who are you? I typed. The cursor blinked. I AM ZERO, came the reply. AND I AM EVERYONE. I looked at Zero's body. Her eyes snapped open. They weren't white. And they weren't gold. They were black. Absorbing all light. She sat up. The leather restraints snapped like twine.

“That the Consulate wasn’t just experimenting on people to enhance them—but to create a singularity event. Something they called Phase Omega. Not a war. Not a program.” She looked up. “A reboot.” The screen flared—dozens of timelines converging on a single point. Kai muttered, “A hard reset.” Evryn’s mind raced. “But the Consulate is gone. The Axis is fractured. What could even initiate something that catastrophic?” Aurex hesitated. Then he said two words that made Evryn’s blood run cold. “Unit Zero.” The air changed. Machines flickered. Somewhere behind the interface, the base lights dimmed slightly—like something was watching. Listening.

Bag after bag of plasma was pumped into my veins. One raw, guttural scream tore out of me, and then the sound of a baby crying filled the room. On my phone, the screen was still frozen on one last image. Jasper and Fiona were locked in a kiss beneath the Aurelian Tower. I held my crying son and let the tears fall without stopping.

The memory faded. Back to the present. Riley showed up while I was fixing Jordan's collar. She stormed straight in, her heels clicking sharp and grating against the floor. She'd ditched the glasses by now, shed all that small-town plainness—dressed to kill, every detail polished. But as a photographer, I could see the exhaustion caked under all that heavy foundation. Her eyes landed on my hands—the ones currently undoing Jordan's shirt buttons. It was for a shoot. Ad campaign. Cold, restrained aesthetic.

Whole. And yet, beneath that calm, something else was moving. Sylra and Aaron stood just beyond the threshold, both wide-eyed, hesitant. Sylra’s staff pulsed faintly as she stepped forward. “You did it,” she said quietly. “You merged.” “Yeah,” I breathed. “I think so.” Aaron frowned. “Then why does it feel like the world’s about to explode?” Before I could answer, the ground trembled beneath our feet. A low rumble echoed through the mountains, followed by a ripple of light that burst outward from the Citadel and vanished into the horizon.

"William, when you slipped Jack that 300 thousand, did you forget one thing?" William paled and struggled to steady his tone. "What 300 thousand? Stop making things up to change the subject!" "You know best whether I'm making it up or not," I said, pulling out a voice recorder from my bag. It was a habit I built from years of being in sales. I'd never go anywhere without it. "Jack, you just said this cash came from the safe at home?" Jack stiffened, then answered firmly, "That's right! It's on the third shelf."

Jo’s face filled the frame with a bright grin that made Silvia smile. “Hey, there, my friend!” said Jo to the camera. “Hope you like this!” The girl disappeared as Jim tapped the microphone to make sure it was on, glanced at one side of the camera, and then looked right into the lens. A chill ran down Silvia’s back, because he seemed to be staring straight at her. He kept very still while, behind him, Sean counted to three with his sticks. Silvia sat up, because it was one of those beginnings that always pushed her against the back of her seat, all the instruments starting together a song to jump and dance, with all the energy that was No Return’s trademark.

There was a room available, so I rented it. The innkeeper, Archie Duncan, was friendly. In the evening, while we sat around the fire, he entertained the guests with strange stories about Doom Canyon. Doom Canyon was also known as Ravenspire Canyon. The locals of Maranigan referred to it as the "Gateway of Reincarnation." But guides never dared take anyone inside. Archie asked, "Did you come alone?" I shook my head. "With my wife." "But I don't see her," Archie said, confused.

"I won't look, I promise." I saw Shannon turn, which let me take my clothes off and stuff them into my own purse. We found a spot behind some trees that made a good hiding spot. I tried to clear my mind, and let Lauren take over. I suddenly felt my bones breaking again, but it wasn't as excruciating as the first time. Once it was finished, I looked over and saw Shannon transform into a medium large wolf. She had brown and grey fur. She was quite pretty. I noticed her staring at my wolf. For the first time, I was mind-linked.

Chloe cut Audrey off and Damien glared at her. “It's nothing.” “Clyde, do you know about this?” “Let’s just get back to studying the prints.” Clyde replied and she nodded but was still not satisfied, she really wanted to know what they are talking about. “So back to what I was saying, going in through the front is a really bad idea, so like Damien said, we will go underneath. We can get into the vault at that spot if we melt the titanium.” “You can't melt titanium.” Damien said.
