Re Zero Visual Novels & Stories

"CATEGORY ZERO APPLIES ONLY TO THE FOUNDATIONAL SUBSTRATE." "I am the foundational silence. Without me, the choir is just noise." The Auditor paused. Its spectacles cycled through seventeen calculation modes. "CATEGORY ZERO-POINT-FIVE. DESIGNATION: FOUNDATIONAL INTERVAL. CLASSIFICATION: ESSENTIAL BUT EASILY OVERLOOKED." "Story of my life," the Hollowsmith murmured. The compass settled into true north with the absolute, final, complete warmth of a device that had found the last piece of a puzzle it had been solving since the moment of its creation.

Last time it just started. You just let me have control. Try to clear your mind. When we are done and you're ready to change back, you simply calm your mind and imagine yourself whole. The second time won't hurt nearly as bad as the first. Each time, it hurts less and less until one day, it no longer hurts. "Ready?" Shannon looks at me. She's already taken her clothes off and stuffed them in her purse. I quickly turn my head and feel embarrassed. "I won't look, I promise."

I looked around and I saw a lot of people looking on us, but later on, they focused themselves again on doing what they are doing a while ago before I entered this room. "I am Maria, I hope we can be friends," she said to me. I don't know how to answer her because I forgot how to make a friendship to anyone anymore. I forgot everything and I lost all my abilities and I have no idea if I could bring it all again.

Her eyes darted around frantically, as though she was still searching for another excuse. After Zach’s assistant showed him another video, she completely wilted. The video came from my neighbor’s security camera. It clearly showed that I had never touched Ruby. She had thrown herself into the pile of broken glass. Every vicious thing she said to me while Zach was not around was also captured clearly for everyone to hear. Unable to hold back any longer, Zach shoved Ruby away when she tried to throw herself at him again. “Get out!”

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.

A ripple crawled across the floor like liquid glass, bouncing from one reflective shard to another. Ramirez’s voice fell to a whisper. “It’s moving…” The containment glass shattered inward with a shriek like tearing metal. Shards hung suspended for a breathless instant before clattering down in a storm of razor edges. Subject Zero unfolded from the wreckage, its body a grotesque shimmer between liquid and flesh. Limbs elongated in unnatural geometry, joints bending where no joint should exist. Its face — or something wearing the suggestion of one — tilted toward them, mirrored eyes glinting with a terrible intelligence.

of an Italian cliffside where my father had first realized that a record was only as good as its physical anchor. ​"We need to go back, Aara," Damian said, his eyes reflecting the silver-blue light of the Moon, where he had so recently stood. "The Vermont Zero Point is the 'Ground,' but Ravello is the Origin. If we’re going to build a world that doesn't repeat the mistakes of the Thorne Vane era, we have to see what the 'Reboot' did to the beginning." ​We didn't use the VTOL for the final leg. We used the "Resonance-Rail" a series of magnetic tracks that had been "Ink-Stabilized" during the final hour of the Night.

The transition was not a blast, but a "fading." One moment, Leo Vane was standing in the green-tinted ruins of Neo-Tokyo; the next, he was standing in a space that had no floor, no ceiling, and no horizon. It was an absolute, blinding white, the "Zero-State" of the universe. "Ren? Maya?" Leo called out. His voice didn't echo; it simply stopped as if the air was made of wool.
