Zero K Novel Novels & Stories

The climate in the room rises as hours count down to a critical moment of our assignment. Moving around the ill-organized table covered in maps and papers, the team gathers, standing in the midst of the preparations. Jake is looking straight at me, and although it is only for a few seconds, I can discern a shyness that does not often show itself. “How do you even manage it, Zea?” Jake’s voice is soft, his face intense. This is the question that was raised by the character: ’’Can I have fife being a mother and a killer at once?’’

"I was the first to regain my name from Master Ren despite being known as Two." "So what?" "Zero had the most potential, followed by the traitor One, then myself." Zia's eyes turned into slits of anger with just the mentioning of One. "Felicity is Three, Jackson was Four yet look at him now." Jackson had pushed ahead from being an idiot to an accomplished Alchemist. Let alone his advice when helping others, he was a great fighter when called for it.

I turn, recognizing the scent of amniotic fluid and see Yhendorn scooping Kenna into his arms. “I guess it’s not just the dragons who will get a new life today, my love,” he says. “It looks like I will finally get to meet our son. Tana …” he begins. “I’ll get Aine. I’m pretty sure classes will be cancelled today anyway,” Tana says. “Absolutely,” Zephyr says. I glance at Iniko who is holding an unconscious Brooke in his arms. “Do you know where she’s living now?” he asks me.

Kai lied. As they walked toward the dining hall for breakfast, Kai caught sight of the girl again. She was mopping the floors in an empty classroom, her dark hair falling across her face. For just a moment, their eyes met through the window. And Kai felt like he'd been struck by lightning. The girl, Zara stared back at him with wide, dark eyes. In that instant, images flashed through Kai's mind. Silver cities, burning skies and this same girl, but different, powerful, and dangerous and for some moment, he thought she was his mate.

[The Woman Who Knows His Name] The destruction of the eighteen layers hadn't led to the void. It had led to a cold, brutal reality that felt more like a prison than any simulation ever could. The "Zero Layer" was a massive, industrial estate on the outskirts of the Swiss Alps—the physical headquarters of the Trust.

James’s voice sharpened, unused to my coldness. Anger crept into his tone. “You have things to do? What things? You stay home all day. You don’t work or earn a dime! Don’t forget, if it weren’t for me marrying you, do you really think you’d be living such a comfortable life?” He was right. Without marrying him, I wouldn’t be living as a wealthy wife. However, he also forgot that this wasn’t the life I ever wanted. Back then, I had just graduated from college. The director of the orphanage that raised me told me that the land was being taken by the government and that it would soon be torn down. If we couldn’t find a sponsor, the younger children would be left homeless.

She glanced back down at the leather-bound book resting on the floorboards beside her. The empty pages seemed to stare up at her, daring her to turn them. With a trembling hand, she picked it up again, the leather warm against her palm. She knew she should get up, should finish unpacking, should do something practical, anything to distract herself from the throbbing between her legs. But she couldn't. She was hooked. The anonymous writer had become a guide, a seductress whispering secrets into her ear, and Pinky was a willing student, desperate to learn every lesson.

"We aren't Squad Zero today. We aren't the heroes who crashed the server. We're rats. We're bottom-feeders looking for crumbs." Kara (Jinx) emerged from the pipe, clutching her waterproof bag. She looked terrified. Her glasses were cracked, and she had tied her hair back with a piece of copper wire. She looked at the sprawling landscape ahead of them and shivered. "It looks like a graveyard," she whispered. She wasn't wrong.

Beggar Zero is a man who probably belonged to the Vikings. A man born to protect innocent people, kill his enemies. Much like me, only my plight for vengeance has overshadowed everything else in my life besides one person, one baby, an innocent girl who didn't deserve the deal she got. “I don't want you to go, stay, help me.” His honesty is a surprise as much as the small smile playing on his lips and I find myself standing next to him and taking the white cloth he hands me.
