Riddle Coffin Novels & Stories

"Stay sharp. There's also supposed to be a hidden boss. The real win condition is fulfilling Ximena's wish." It was Silvia and the other two players. They quietly pried open the latch and slipped inside. I quickly shut my eyes and pretended to be asleep. Soon, I felt someone pushing against the coffin lid. "Give me a hand. There's a male corpse in the coffin next to it." A male corpse? I did not see one earlier. Where did that come from? One of them muttered, "Nothing useful here. Let's check the other coffin." The lid of my coffin, the one I shared with Ximena, was opened.

The third coffin was for an infant inscribed with a familiar word, but I couldn't place it, "A iníon." Maxine walked back in covering her mouth with her forearm. She was looking at the coffins as I began to open the one on the left. I barely needed the crowbar. The wood broke and rusted nails gave way. As I pushed the cover away, I saw a man's clothes, but a body very much in disorder. Bones broken, thrown about. It made no sense. I gently pushed through the ribs, pelvis when I felt something hard, round. "Jesus Christ, Max... It's the Iron Cylinder." I pulled it from beneath his pelvic bone, easily prying open the lock with my K-bar. I looked at her. She had tears in her eyes. She was looki

"He got exactly what he deserved." "This should've happened a long time ago." Then came the distinct, heavy thud of dirt raining down onto the coffin lid, one shovelful after another. Eventually, I couldn't hear anything anymore. Nothing remained but a dead, oppressive silence and a pitch-black darkness as thick as ink. I drifted in and out of consciousness for a long time before I finally realized that I could move again. I felt around the casket and found only one oxygen tank. There was no water, no food, and no chance I could last much longer.

I said through gritted teeth. There was no other relief that could compare to the King retiring to his room for the night and leaving the wolves to grieve. As a community, we huddled together in our designated field meant for last rites. While building up Cole’s funeral pyre, the wolves began to hum the simple, somber song as part of our letting go ritual. Being Alpha, it was my job to light the pyre. With my torch in hand, I walked forward to say goodbye.

I walked to the corner and pointing my light I saw a coffin mounted on a heightened concrete floor. I promised myself that after checking this one out, I was done. I walked over there to check it. The stones had cravings and drawings on them, drawings matching with the writings on other walls. I caressed the coffin, its rustiness and dust coming off, thinking of what could possibly be inside of it. I heard the creak again and I as I directed my flashlight to where the sound came from. A swarm of bats came flying, surrounding the coffin like it called them. Standing right before the coffin with fear and anxiety about running. I tripped falling over to the coffin and its sharp edges cutting fr

He stepped in, trying to fight the emotions that threatened to explode within him, fury clouding his judgment. He walked in, heading straight to one of the many locked doors that were attached to the room. He only had the keys to those rooms and they had been locked for a very long time. Eli turned the key in the lock, and the door pushed open easily, revealing the coffin on the other side, with the number 200 engraved on the surface of the mahogany. Slowly, he took off his mask, stepped in, and shut the door behind him. Soon, he was standing right in front of the coffin that was leaning against the wall of the dark room, his fingers trailing the numbers slowly.

“ What in the world?” Levy stepped back as she looked at the empty grave that was in front of her, what was going on? Why was the coffin empty? A frown etched on her face as she looked at the empty coffin. Though she was happy that the coffin did not have any corpse in it but she did not like the fact that the mystery seemed to have gone deeper. She turned to look at the echo that was still pointing at the ring in the coffin and Levy hesitated a little before she crouched down and then picked up the ring that was lying on the wooden surface of the coffin.

If it weren't for the fact that Zhou Tian and Wu Jiu were so powerful, they would have died here with the old Zombie. Therefore, Pan Zishan and the bald man were filled with admiration and gratitude towards Zhou Tian. "Okay, Mr. Zhou!" Several people shouted in unison and moved the big red coffin over. The coffin was made of fine rosewood, which was quite heavy. But with more people and more strength, the red coffin was quickly moved to the side. Zhou Tian's throat was raised, and he stared at the ground under the coffin. Zhou Tian was shocked and angry. There was a rectangular pit below, which was smaller than the bottom of the coffin, so the coffin could be parked on the top of the pit.

We got to a corner and at the far end of it, there was a dimly lit platform that was shining in faint hues of gold and silver. And on the platform, two coffins were rested on a stone side by side. Kaiden stopped and let out a small gasp as if he was trying to gather strength before speaking. “We’re here,” he finally said moments later. I moved closer and stared at the strange symbols that were carved onto the surface of the coffins. One had a crest carved into it, it was a silver wolf howling upwards toward a crescent moon while the other coffin was smooth but it glowed faintly. It looked like the stones had absorbed a lot of magic and darkness.

The casket was trapezoidal, tapered at the feet, widening toward the top, with a peaked lid. "Why isn't this knight shown?" Jimmy asked. "Amazing," Rodriguez said, stroking his chin. "I had forgotten about this oddity. It's been years since I was here." "This coffin," McEwan said, "looks like it was carved at the same time and by the same person as the other tombs. So why is this knight in a casket rather than in the open?" Rodriguez shook his head. "One of this church's mysteries. To the best of my knowledge, nobody has ever found any explanation for it."
