Welcome To The Void Novels & Stories

"No ruins, no bodies, no blood. There isn't even a scorched patch of earth. We rode in to check on the morning tribute, and there was... nothing. Just empty grassland. It's as if the village never stood there. As if the families, the children, the very houses were never built. My own brother lived there, and when I try to remember his face... it's fading. I can feel the memory slipping away like water through my fingers!" A cold hand seemed to squeeze my heart. Behind me, the sound of footsteps announced Fenrir's arrival. His expression was graver than I had ever seen it, his ancient gray eyes clouded with a dread that made him look every bit his thousand years. "It has begun," Fenrir whispe

Carson I’m nervous. The burn of rum as it travels down my throat somehow soothes me. I chase it with my favorite ale. I repeat the process three more times before he finally shows up at this little bar in a small town outside of Palomino Bay. “Hello, my little pet.” Razor Growthman purrs into my ear, causing goosebumps to litter my flesh. This man elicits a visceral fear inside of me, enough for me to obey his every command. He owns me and he knows it.

The System would like Host to know this is the most complex operation it has performed in this host's lifetime. The System is focused. The System will comment later. --- The Void Dragon's presence fills the channel in a way it hasn't before — broader, deeper, like the expanded cracks in the seal are letting more of it through. Look, it says. Not a direction. An instruction. An offer. I look.

The sensation of perceiving something too terrible to comprehend. "Thelma!" Theo's voice echoed through the bond, clearer than it had been in months. "Sister, listen to me carefully. The Void is awake. Fully awake and aware. And it felt like the Genesis Flame returned to reality." "What's happening?" I asked aloud, and everyone turned to stare at me. "It's angry," Theo said. "The Void consciousness has made its first deliberate choice. It's stopped trying to slowly erase reality. Now it's trying to consume everything as fast as possible before you can implement the Flame."

I froze upon feeling an electric shock that struck my whole body when I felt his soft lips touch my ear, my breath getting heavier as I breathe, and I can feel my heart is throbbing fast as if someone is playing the drum inside it. What is causing this reaction in me? What exactly is going on with me? Why did I get so heated all of a sudden? He moved his face away from me and leaned his back to the backrest of his chair, “relax, I have no plan to do something that you think of me. I am also not interested in you,” he assured me. “That’s good! I’m relieved,” I sighed. It’s clear to me that I have no intention of falling for him but why do I feel something’s wrong in my mind and why do I sudde

I grabbed the bedsheet off me, and pulled out the IV drip from my hand, which left a tingling, painful sensation, which I didn’t care to notice. “Dad?” I called out while I limped to the door. “Finally, the sleeping beauty is awake.” An unfamiliar, cold voice rang out behind me. I didn’t know why I turned around slowly; I felt a shivering sensation that I’ve never felt before in my entire life as I came face to face with a very tall, pale man in his mid-twenties. His aura was so cold and dominating that I felt shiver ran down my spine. I clutched the doorknob like my dear life.

Just as the group begins to process their loss, the silver thread pulses, and a familiar voice echoes in their minds. “Don’t mourn me yet,” Rowan says, his tone calm but urgent. “The Void isn’t gone, it’s waiting. And when it returns, you’ll need to be ready.”

Not a museum. Not a memorial. Something alive. Something continuing. Void stared at the photographs quietly. Then at Hope. Then back at the hall. A very long silence followed. Hope looked increasingly nervous. "Are you mad?" Void crossed the room. Everyone watched. Hope prepared for consequences. Reasonable assumption. Instead— Void hugged her. Without warning. Without explanation. Just relief. Hope froze. Then hugged him back immediately. The hall softened around us. Lantern flowers glowing gently beneath the Quiet Stars.

The Silence. The Echo. She was beginning to see a pattern. "What is it?" she asked. Nobody answered. Not immediately. Then the Void answered. Its voice echoed across reality. Across stars. Across galaxies. Across every corner of creation. The memory of existence. The room became silent. The Void continued. Nothing truly disappears. The stars brightened slightly. Not worlds. A pause. Not people. Another pause. Not universes. Nova felt her heart race. The implications were enormous. Terrifying.

“We need to stop.” “All right.” He veered left and stepped back into the enclosure, close to our bell tents, and padded toward my fallen body. He lowered himself onto the ground so I could climb down. When I did, my knees collapsed onto the ground. I braced my hands on the cool grass and panted. “What on earth just happened?” “The void is an inhospitable place, and I’d like you to build an immunity to it before we cross it for real.” “But you were only in it for a second.” I sat on my ass, staring up at the armored wolf through bleary eyes. “Will it have the same effect?”
