The Rise Of Eden Novels & Stories

She glanced at it, heart skipping. “We need to talk. There’s more you must know.” The message was from her father. Roman noticed her sudden stillness. “What is it?” Eden hesitated, then showed him the screen. “It’s Dad. He says there’s more I need to know.” Roman’s eyes darkened. “Then we better find out before it’s too late.” They rose together, the ruined landscape stretching out like a battlefield of shattered dreams. Eden felt the familiar surge of determination settle within her—a fire born not just of anger, but of hope and purpose.

How do two different people have the same story, coming from the future? Eden became curious and had the intention of finding the woman, as well as Alphu Elden who may still be alive. ♡♡♡

“A DeLuca protecting her. Fascinating.” Hatred darkened Luca’s expression. “You destroyed lives for science.” “No,” Dr. Vale corrected calmly. “I saved humanity from extinction.” The chamber lights below brightened further. More containment pods became visible through the mist. Hundreds of them. Maybe thousands. Ava’s stomach twisted. “What is this place?” Dr. Vale’s expression softened almost proudly. “Eden.” The name echoed strangely through the stairwell. “The world above is collapsing,” he continued. “Governments fail. Wars spread. Resources vanish. Humanity destroys itself repeatedly.” He tilted his head slightly. “So I created something stronger.”

“I mean, Gods, have you SEEN Romano? He’s so damn mouth-watering and hot, and those huge arms I just want around my neck to-” “TMI, Eden!” I exclaim, not wanting to know her sick fantasies. “You could always try to, you know, seduce him.” She raises her eyebrow. “And you think I haven’t tried? The man is immune to me in skimpy nighties; I even dropped my towel by accident in front of him!” At this, I burst out laughing because poor Eden, she was raised as a spoiled Alpha Daddy’s Girl before coming here. She always got what she wanted, no matter what it was, and when her father told her about what was happening, she nearly ran away.

Not data on a server, but etched into the failing synapses of a man's brain. "Edward is gone. His empire is dust. But the work... the pure, beautiful logic of the work... remains. It has been sleeping. You, with your little song, woke it up. The 'Ascension' of your pet god sent a shockwave through certain... resonant systems. It stirred Julian. It stirred the work."

I asked. He rotated my way with a timid look. "That's the name of the place I come from, one of the cities of the Nasaru. It's not like it sounds, though. Eden is underground, literally. It's huge, but it's secret. Humans don't even know it exists. Non-humans may know about it, but they don't know how to find it or get into it, unless they are working for the Nasaru. In fact, most non-humans stay as far away as possible because they don't like being told what to do, which the Nasaru does to them a lot. Eden's not our only city, though. There are others. They are all run by the Nasaru and my father manages that organization."

I search through the contacts, looking for Ethan's contact. 'What can you tell me about Rapture?' I text him. I watch as the three dots appear on the screen showing that he's typing. 'The rapture is an eschatological theological position held by some Christians, particularly within branches of American evangelicalism, consisting of an end-time event when all Christian believers who are alive, along with resurrected believers, will rise in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air. -Wikipedia. I roll my eyes at his response. 'Arse.' I think to myself.

He doesn't seem all that high again, probably because of what happened at the council meeting after the rogues attacked. “Her?” He stops a few steps away, his hands casually tucked into his pockets. “The one who just stormed off like she owns the place. Eden.” The name doesn’t ring a bell, and I shake my head. “She’s hardly around here. She's been abroad, studying. She returned a few days ago,” he explains, leaning slightly against the wall. “Her father’s the highest-ranking member on the council. She’s... entitled, to say the least. Thinks the world revolves around her.”

But still, something about it didn’t sit right. Eden, with another man? Already? He scoffed at the thought. “I guess people change fast,” he muttered. He leaned back in his chair, running a hand through his hair. Eden was from nowhere, with no family, no name, and no connections. She was never part of the plan. That’s why he’d kept her hidden. A man with political ambitions couldn’t afford to be tied to someone like her. She didn’t belong in his world. Nalani, on the other hand, was perfect. Her wealth and power would give him opportunities he could only dream of. She could help him become president. That had been the plan all along. He needed her.

Logan and Niles were dead. After freeing all humans, society had to be rebuilt from the ground up. I didn't care about Sophie anymore. I had bigger things to focus on. It wasn't until the very end that I learned the leader of the demon hunters was a woman. After the war outside was over, new problems started inside. The men wanted to take all the credit for winning. They began blaming women, calling us witches. Because I had been spying for a long time near Logan, they said my blood was corrupted. Everyone turned against me.
