Zeri Arcane Novels & Stories

Instead, he muttered to himself again and again, "Where's my cheat ability? Why did it disappear? Why can't I see the future anymore?! What's going on?!" His expression was twisted with madness, like a rabid dog gone out of control. [That skill was a limited-time quirk for the newbie male lead, and it was bound to be retracted after a week.] [Even if he stocked the wrong supplies, he should've at least gotten food too. But this guy stocked only ice?] [Another brain-dead male lead, abandoned by the system.] At that moment, the signal cut off. I shrugged again, before continuing to eat my grilled meat.

"Woah, were you Minnie, the birthday girl?" Minerva hastily looked at her right when she heard another voice asked. It was a little girl that was around four to five years old. Her light pink hair was in pigtails and her green jeweled eyes shone with curiosity. As for Minerva, although it was also a child who was in front of her, she was still a bit nervous. Especially that strange Marcus was here. She gripped on Julia's skirt as she nodded her head to the little girl. "Wow! Hello, Minnie! I'm Zinnia Soleil Zielony! I'm four years old! My father's Raphael Sol Zielony! And he was the youngest first-generation Saint Archmage!" The little girl, who was Zinnia, proudly said.

He said. I wasted no time. “There’s a lot of things that I do not know how to start explaining but let me start with the one where your expertise is needed.” I brought the map we had found and laid it on the table. “We found this near a rogue outpost. It's enchanted with Zerathos’s magic. We suspect that it leads to either their main stronghold— or one of them, or the forge where they make their weapons.” “Who’s Zerathos?” He asked.

It was the Father’s personal anti-virus, designed to scrub anything that shouldn't exist in the hidden partition. "UNAUTHORIZED PROCESS DETECTED," the Daemon’s voice was a distorted screech of static. "INITIALIZING PURGE." "Zane, front and center!" Elara commanded. Zane stepped onto the hull, his obsidian skin absorbing the dim light of the vault. He didn't just grow; he densified. He tapped into the "Mass" of the deleted files around him, pulling the weight of a thousand forgotten cities into his fists. The Daemon struck with a beam of Binary Acid. Where it hit the Spire, the iridium plates turned into meaningless lines of text.

Zara's blood turned entirely to ice. "They didn't come for the babies, Zara," Silas reported grimly. "Darius Thorne knew exactly what you left inside the open wall safe when you grabbed the bearer bonds this morning. The mercenaries just successfully extracted the physical Master Decryption Cylinder. The Archangel now holds the absolute, undeniable keys to the entire global shadow network."

"This is a threshold now. We have to finish the rite or we won’t be able to contain her magic." Kael's brow furrowed. "Then do it. Fast." Runes around the terrace pulsed red. One of them—the oldest, the one etched with the name of the Firstborn Luna—cracked. The sound echoed like a scream through the stone. Zara arched as power surged up from the ground beneath her. Blood ran from her nose. Her lips trembled, whispering names she didn’t know—languages older than any still spoken. She wasn’t just channeling power. She was remembering it.

As the two unleashed their full power despite being in a pocket dimension the sheer power of the two was even felt throughout New Dawn. Victor smiled praising his son for gaining more power than any of his peers could ever hope to achieve but none could ever hope to beat him in a contest of strength especially with the infamous Arc-Zero battle suit. The Arc-Zero is the 6th generation ancient war suit built during the golden age, it was big and somewhat bulky for any normal knight to wear. Victor was the only Knight to have successfully worn the suit without it ripping the wearer apart, but the suit had one ability that set it apart from the rest of its sister suits.

Miya said, and luna Nesta nodded. “In that case, all of us represent Arcanes. All of us pick up properties from people around us to form an identity of our own. If we see on a broad scale, none of us have a unique identity of our own, we borrow identities of others now and then and dispose of parts of those identities like the skin of a snake. Don’t we?” I said. Luna Nesta smiled, “you are absolutely right, Diana. Maybe Zephyr is indeed normal because Arcanes are normal too. They are the invasive species of the Gloom forests.”

I hide my dagger in the shadows before I start to swim near Leviathan. ‘I am not Belphegor’s henchman.’ I say. Perhaps starting to talk to Leviathan would allow me to get him to lower his guard. Leviathan has a weak spirit, but his strength is undeniable. If you ask me, I would say that he is just cowardly. ‘My name is Zarah and I am a hunter.’ ‘A hunter? Does that mean that you are going to kill me?!’ ‘No. I am not here to kill you.’ Drat. Maybe I shouldn’t have said that I was a hunter. ‘I am just here to see you.’

I can’t get his hand off my neck, and I’m at a loss for how to resist his grip. “What do you think of me? It’s just that? You’re not as strong as I expected,” he said, pressing his stranglehold on me even more. I can hardly breathe because of what he’s doing, and I’m afraid I’ll run out of air. I couldn’t get away no matter what I did, and at the time, he threw me away as if I were trash in his eyes. I don’t know why I ran out of energy or how I couldn’t cast a spell. I need to find a way to fight him. Only one thing comes to mind, and only one thing can help me. That was Madarana. She is the only one capable of defeating Zerberus.
