The Bone Code Novels & Stories

aniya at naupo sa bakanteng upuan sa harap ko. Napakurap ako. Sandali. Inaral ko 'to. Nabasa ko na 'to. Pinag aralan na namin ito noon. Naiiyak na ako ano ba 'to. Bakit ba kasi ang bobo ko? "Miss Villaflor?" tawag sa akin ni Sir Salle na para bang ubos na ubos na ang pasensya niya sa akin. "Musculoskeletal system includes bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments and soft tissues..." I answered.

he explains. "I think I'll be fine," I say brushing it off. "Gargoyle bones are made of different material, you know." "What?" says Bennet surprised. "What do you mean?" "I don't remember the exact specifications, but I know that our bones happen to be much tougher than any other beings' bones. I think they're as hard as diamonds if I remember correctly." "Really?" asks Bennet. I smile. "Really," I say, reaching up and brushing a bit of hair of his forehead. Bennet smiles down at me.

My fingers were shaking as I typed in the code that Trei had given me. R-B-1-6-5 I was hoping that nothing would happen and an error would flash on the screen so I can come back and enjoy my day with Skyr and Byron. Unfortunately, a green light flashed upon confirming the code and the elevator door closed. Trei, whatever you want to show me better be worth the risk.

he explained. "What makes your body special then, Master?" asked Raider eagerly. "Pick one up and I'll tell you" said Master Bones with a slightly develish smile. Hearing these words, Raider's face became more solemn and his gaze returned to the left radius in front of him. He had a feeling this was his only shot, if this bone didn't move, none of them would. He slowly grabbed the bone in its middle and pulled towards himself.

Melody instinctively leaned closer. My voice was not loud, but everyone heard me. "Error B-4711. In DMG's fault code database, all hardware fault codes start with A. Codes starting with B indicate software or parameter anomalies. The official definition of B-4711 is: Unauthorized external parameter writing causing system protective lock." "Henry." I turned to look at him. "You're an expert in this; you should understand this code better than I do, right?" Henry's smile froze. A flicker of panic crossed his eyes, but he immediately denied it. "Nonsense! I've studied DMG's systems for over a decade, and I've never seen a B-4711 code! You're making things up to stall for time!"

He turned to Crane, shouting, “What’s the code?” Crane smirked weakly. “Wouldn’t you like to know?” River’s patience snapped. He pressed his hand against the man’s chest. “Give me the code, Crane, or I swear..” “Fine!” Crane barked. “It’s LilaKnight.” River typed it in. The computer unlocked, and the upload screen appeared. He hit cancel, the timer froze at 00:00:32. He exhaled, trembling slightly, then turned to look at Crane. “You’re done.”

In just a few moments, everyone had come together to distribute the bones of the mouse. Alex noticed faint bone patterns on the mouse bone demon as well. They weren’t golden but a whitish-grey instead. He could tell that the power within these bone patterns was far less potent than the ones on Shirley, let alone any of the bone patterns of those two gigantic bone demons he encountered. Zendaya handed Alex a bone, which consisted of five bone patterns. It was considered one of the bones that had more patterns than the others. The patterns seemed to be made out of a rare type of language.

He dropped to the dirt, the sonic wave roaring inches over his head, blasting a chunk of concrete off the blockhouse behind him. Before Baraka could stand, the granite-skinned boy charged. He moved with surprising speed for his size, launching a massive fist aimed directly at Baraka’s skull. Adapt, Baraka’s instincts flared. Violet sparks erupted across Baraka’s forearms as he crossed them to absorb the blow. The Star-Code immediately thickened his bone density. The stone fist collided with Baraka’s guard with a deafening CRACK. Baraka was pushed back several feet, his boots digging trenches in the mud, but his bones held.

He tilted his head and smiled cruelly. “Do you know? An adult human body has about 206 bones and more than 360 joints. I can help you straighten each and every joint, and I guarantee that before you breathe your last, you will be able to feel it in the most complete way.” With that, Lucas stood up and flicked his hand to signal the subordinates. The shrill screams echoed throughout the silent space. Lucas had always meant what he said and done what he promised. He had never shown mercy to anyone who dared to encroach upon Salvaria.
