Re:zero Shadow Garden Novels & Stories

One, just except my fate because I was tired as hell and had no will power in me to fight or fight despite my body not being fully awake because I had a daughter to life for and didn’t want everyone to come home to a lifeless body laying on the kitchen floor bleeding to death. Of course I went with the second choice because who the hell will I be if I let some intruder dressed like a damn ninja end my life. I’m the Shadow of death for god sakes so I wasn’t about to accept death so easily. So here I was crouched over the lifeless body of the mystery ninja who turned out to be a woman. Pulling the dagger out from her head, blood came pouring out staining the marble floor.

Then, James headed to the ancient battlefield in the center of the mountain and began annihilating the shadows. The shadows in each space possessed varying degrees of strength. In the beginning, the shadows were weak. However, upon arriving at the fourteenth story, the shadow’s strength had reached the Fourth to Fifth Stage Lord Rank. Even for Xulia, it would be difficult for her to defeat these shadows. However, as a Sixth Stage Lord, Jabari could defeat them with ease. James went to defeat the shadows, whereas Jabari continued his closed-door meditation. As James’ strength was formidable, he could defeat the shadows easily. Each time he defeated a shadow, the shadows would drop something—w

"Do you not see? The Heart will destroy you." "Maybe," Elena said, her voice steady despite the fear in her chest. "But I’d rather be destroyed than let you win." The shadow lunged again, but this time, it collided with the Heart’s barrier. The light grew brighter, pushing it back and illuminating the entire shrine. The shadow retreated, its voice echoing through the shrine. "This is not over. You may have won this battle, but the war is far from finished." As its presence faded, the group collapsed to the ground, exhausted but alive. The shrine was silent once more, the carvings glowing faintly in the aftermath.

“You’re a part of ME. Not the other way round.” “You’re delusional!” Her shadow snarled. Nozomi tightened her grip on her shadow's throat. “YOU wouldn’t exist without me, but I continue to exist without you!” “Of course, it works that way! Are you an idiot?! I’m a higher, BETTER, version of you! If you destroy me, you’d FOREVER stay the weak, insignificant, useless-“ Nozomi made a hammer and smashed through the shadow’s mouth. The shadow’s eyes widened in shock and fear, and it finally tried to break free.

The cold, hardened mercenary who usually only cared about data and crypto-transactions was staring down at me with a soft, intensely protective gaze that made the air in the room feel suddenly heavy. "You've already built a shadow network that most syndicates spend a decade fighting for," Zero said softly, his dark eyes locking onto mine with an intensity that hadn't been there when we first met. "You're not that frightened girl who ran into the rain anymore. You're the ghost running this city's underground. Take a breath, Aria."

On our wedding night, my wife, who almost never drank, got wasted because she was supposedly too happy. Just when I didn't know what to do, my best friend sent me a long message explaining how to take care of her. I blushed, but I still followed his instructions and soothed her the way he described. Natalie, who had been making a scene, miraculously quieted down. But just as I was about to call my friend and thank him, Natalie suddenly hugged me from behind. Heartbroken, she whispered, "Ashton Hawke, you're the one I wanted to marry." As she said it, the tattoo near her heart slipped into view: a hawk with its wings spread wide. My mind went blank. Ashton Hawke was my best friend of

Hunters. “Shadowthorn sends a message!” one roared. “The Alpha wants his heirs!” Aria shoved the twins behind her, blades already drawn. “Over my dead body.” Luka’s shadows flared. Lila growled, tiny body vibrating with power. The lead hunter lunged. Aria met him mid air, driving both blades into his chest. Hot blood sprayed across her face. She twisted, using his momentum to slam him into the second attacker. Luka’s shadows wrapped the third wolf’s legs, yanking him down. Lila pounced, ripping out his throat with a snarl that was far too mature for her age.

"The Shadow-Luna’s Legacy is a Total Identity-Recall! If she 'Claims' you, the 'Present' is deleted as an Unauthorized Branch and we all get Re-Absorbed into her Origin!" The Shadow-Luna raised her spindle, and the Great Loom of the Zero Cycle manifested above us. She didn't strike it; she Synchronized it with my own genetic code. "Accept the Bloodline, Darlene," the Shadow-Mother commanded, her eyes turning into two hollow, emerald Zeros. "Choose the 'Destiny' over the 'Desire.' Choose the 'Source' over the 'Self.' If you do not, the High Council will Hard-Format the Starburst to remove the 'Sovereign' variable from the universe forever".

Instead, he muttered to himself again and again, "Where's my cheat ability? Why did it disappear? Why can't I see the future anymore?! What's going on?!" His expression was twisted with madness, like a rabid dog gone out of control. [That skill was a limited-time quirk for the newbie male lead, and it was bound to be retracted after a week.] [Even if he stocked the wrong supplies, he should've at least gotten food too. But this guy stocked only ice?] [Another brain-dead male lead, abandoned by the system.] At that moment, the signal cut off. I shrugged again, before continuing to eat my grilled meat.

If I could distract Julian, I might be able to click that folder. "Julian," I thought, trying to project my voice through the speakers. "The Shareholders... they want a 'Twist.' They’re bored of the 'Garden' already." Julian leaned in, his distorted face inches from mine. "A twist? Already? We’re only five minutes into the premiere!" "They want... a **Villain Appearance**," I typed. ***"Suddenly, a shadow fell over the Garden. It was the Shadow of the Showrunner, manifesting as a giant, black bird."***
