The Skin Is Blank To The Skeleton Novels & Stories

They looked like skeletons. ‘Skeletons? Wait!’ Zephyr thought. He quickly focused on what he saw with more intensity. His eyes glowed as he focused. These creatures were extremely thin, to the point where their bone ridges could be made out. They were covered in a thin sheet of skin. Such a sight could only lead Zephyr to think of only one creature — they were vampires!

So thin, so bony . His panting breath stumbled when he felt clear bumps under his palms where - if his memories weren't very fooled - shouldn't be. Then it dawned on him. Bone. It was his bones that he felt. A little frightened, he raised his head and peeked timidly down at himself. He looked like a living skeleton. His ribs and hip bones were clearly visible under his white, parchment-like skin. Every tendon caught his eye. Horrified, he dropped back again and stared in disbelief at the shattered ceiling. He needed food immediately.

I stowed the little black box in my pocket and finished tearing the blouse from my arm, leaving it exposed. "There are some bones and muscles in our bodies that even with transformation don't change completely, they just grow." I ran the tip of my left finger over the part from my wrist to my elbow, following a straight line. "This here is one of them." Then, coming back I lightly squeezed my finger to feel the shape of the muscle. "This way you can feel the contour the muscle makes next to the skin and how it wraps around the bone." I could see their eyes paying attention to my every move.

So, witnessing the one before our eyes felt unreal. I ran my gaze down his body. No, not a body...just a...structure. At first glance, you'd perceive them as skeletons but upon a closer look, you'd see the skin. The skin that was so parched, brittle, and thin that it cracked with every movement. It was stretched tight across bones, with no flesh or muscle beneath...like something half-alive and half-dead. The eyes were sunken pits with no eyeballs but just a dim glow. It had no lips, just a wide gap as a mouth and when it spoke, a wheezing sound accompanied its words.

There were still a lot of such corpses, and it was unknown how many powerful beings died here. The skeleton looked at all this expressionlessly, as if it took all this for granted. Suddenly, a beam of light fell from the sky. The skeleton seemed to feel something and looked up. It directly merged with the beam of light and became one! Buzz! Countless buzzing sounds echoed in the skeleton. At the same time, the skeleton's aura suddenly soared. The bronze that originally covered the surface quickly faded away, and the flesh and blood skin grew out. When the flesh and blood grew first, it still looked very horrible. But after the skin extended and wrapped around the whole body, it directly turn

It was as if no one was qualified to look at this skeleton. However, as Raider approached the skeleton and looked at it, it seemed to feel his presence and grew a little brighter. The skull in the center shone more than the rest, as if something was inside of it. Suddenly, as Raider arrived in front of the corpse, a body of light burst out from the skull and circled around Raider and the bones. Raider felt like this blob of light could easily take his life if it wanted to. Slowly, the light came to hover above the skeleton and change shape.

The video showed me standing in the biting cold, wearing nothing but a tattered short-sleeve shirt, holding a phone to my ear. "Zoom in," my mother urged, her voice trembling. "Find out who she was calling."

The skeleton nodded and tried to take a piece of the purple crystal off the wall until his arms dislocated, but the gem remained unperturbed. "Stop, stop, first try to put your bones in the correct place" it nodded and shook his arms until cracking sounds resounded in the silent cave, he opened and closed his hands slowly and made some small moves to see if its bones were in their right place, "very good, now, dig around it." The skeleton tilted its head in confusion and stared at the crystal. "Dig, just remove the dirt around it, come on, you can do it."

He thought, "This beauty was very calm before. Did she see something terrible that scared her so much?" Zhou Tian glanced curiously at Shen Mengyi's feet and was also shocked. Under Shen Mengyi's feet, there was a white skeleton, which was very complete. It was still lying on the ground. Just now, it was this white skeleton, which almost tripped Shen Mengyi. Zhou Tian's heartbeat sped up. No wonder Shen Mengyi had been so scared just now. It was indeed scary enough. "Don't be afraid. It's just a skeleton." Zhou Tian comforted him.

It was so thin and transparent that the cold seemed to bite her flesh even more now. "She doesn't look like much, eh?" Huge feet walked in front of her bowed figure. She could barely shrink back, there was no strength in her at all. All she could do was stay hunched over and take deep breaths. The skin of her hand was so thin now that her bones jutted out, threatening to burst through, her knuckles were pronounced and the outline of every bone could be seen through her skin.
