Zero One Book Novels & Stories

HAVE you ever felt that you might be different? That, in this world, is not how the way you thought about it. But what if behind this beautiful world that you thought it was, lies the secret that would change your life? I am Zeiah, I grew up thinking that everybody around me is ordinary and I am like them, but that's what I thought.

Suddenly, he felt a strange vibration throughout his body and looked up to see unfamiliar words written on the cave wall. With a burst of light, the words disappeared, and he saw the light shoot up to the moon, surrounded by a shimmering dance of stars. He followed the light until he found himself in the maternity ward of Corer Hospital. The light stopped at Ward 119, and he heard the cry of a newborn baby.

“Ah, no, I can't really drink. I–” “Please, just once. If you don't drink, I will think you haven't forgiven me” Georgina pouted, giving her puppy eyes look. Elissa released a breath. Georgina really was childish as Benjamin had said. Fine, she could manage one drink. One drink wouldn't harm her. She took the glass which Georgina offered and with a clank, she gulped the whole thing down. Bitter and tasteless! Why do people drink this? Her throat was burning as if she drank fire.

"Don't be so gullible. If the crash had really been that bad, that selfish brat would've dragged Felix down with him. How would Felix still be standing here, perfectly fine?" Caitlyn came over to comfort Mom, too. "Exactly, Mrs. Goodman. Sean is tough. He won't die so easily. If anything, it's a wonder no one else has died because of him." Ashley, lazily munching on an apple, muttered, "Wouldn't it be good if that annoying brat was dead? What's there to be worried about?" Though I always knew they were biased toward Felix, I never expected that I was so worthless in their eyes.

“I mean if you need to Laura can stay the night or we can go there. I want to make sure you're really okay. Finding out how who and why has to be so hard after wondering for so long.” “It was hard but I am grateful that you called my mother to come over. I don’t know how but it helped me so much.” “I’m glad it helped and I have some other news if you’re ready.” I nodded curiously at what it could be. “I think we should sit down for this.” I now noticed he’d been holding a book in his hand. He held my hand leading me to the bed where we sat and he opened up the book. “Brace yourself.” I did exactly as he commanded and until I let out a good sigh I hadn’t realized he’d litterally commanded me

Several of the judges began talking amongst themselves, until finally the one in the middle slammed the table with his palm. “Silence!” He yelled. Gradually, the murmur died down. “So. You risked us all to save a human?” he asked. “I saved her to save ourselves,” Caleb answered. “If she is the One, we are nothing without her.” Caitlin’s head spun. She didn’t know what to think. The One? Doctrine? What was he talking about? She wondered if he thought she was someone else, thought she was someone greater than she is.

Every moment is this. Without moment. This. The light that is. The love that is. The being that is. The this that is. Only this. The book never opened. Because there was no cover. The book never closed. Because there was no ending. The book was the opening. The book was the reading. The book was the read. All one. Without one. This. The final chapter is not final. There was no first. There was no sequence. Only this. Appearing as sequence.

Enzo’s POV I chewed on the inside of my cheek as I stared down at the book. Simply Elemental, it was called: a battered old paperback that looked as though it had been passed around a lot, the spine bent out of shape, the corners dog-eared. I picked up the scrap of paper that had fallen from it and went to tuck it back inside the cover. I paused, the paper curling in my palm. I could look at it. Just quickly. Nobody would ever know…

In the center of this burgeoning void stood the entity that wore Mia’s face—a towering, translucent mosaic of a thousand lost souls, her eyes glowing with the cold, bronze light of the Fourteenth. "The Secret of the First Chapter," the Mia-entity repeated, her voice a choral vibration that rattled my teeth. "The system cannot be grounded by a Banker who doesn't know her own origin. The 'Zero' is not a lack of value, Seraphina. It is the point where the story began before the Thorne and the Vance wrote over it with their blood."

Richard turned the photograph over. There were only six words written on the back. THE FIRST CHILD WAS NEVER A CHILD. Seraphina’s stomach dropped. “What does that mean?” Richard looked toward Zero-D. “It means we were wrong about Project Zero.” The baby suddenly stopped moving. Her tiny eyes opened. She looked directly at Seraphina. Richard continued. “We thought you were the beginning.” He pointed at Seraphina. “Zero-A.” Then he looked at Noah’s file. “Zero-B.” Then Zero-C.
