Zero's Familiar Light Novel Novels & Stories

~ End of Flashback ~ Zhi Yin sigh as the black mist in his palm shoot towards the ceiling but it stopped two inches away from the ceiling of the bathroom as it started to expand. Zhi Yin did not cultivate his darkness ability ever since he found out that he has this ability, but somehow, his darkness ability to advance in rank. When he first notice that he had this darkness ability, it was only at the level Zero high rank but in just more than two days in the real world, it was already at the level 2 low rank. He clearly remembers that the core of his darkness ability was throbbing when he is cultivating as it absorbed the spiritual energy in his space on its own.

Where's the Light Oracle when you need her? Zion lets out a gusty breath, “don't ever apologise for being who you are destined to be.” He states gruffly, squeezing his eyes shut as blood seeps from his hairline. “You are hurt. You need to heal yourself,” I whisper, fighting to stay awake. “Place me on the ground so that you can replenish your healing cells. I'm not going anywhere.” He presses me to his chest, his nose nuzzles my hair, and I wince. “All mighty stars!” He hisses as he starts to lick the blood from my burning flesh. “I'm sorry.” He mutters with a snarl.

This time, every light in the facility turned red. Cain whispered, “That's not Zero.” Ethan stared at him. “Then what is it?” Cain looked terrified. “It's what Zero remembers.” --- Ava followed Zero through a long corridor. The walls were covered with photographs. Hundreds. Thousands. Ava stopped. Every photograph showed her. Different ages. Different hairstyles. Different clothes. Different versions. Twenty-two photographs had red marks across them. Ava's breath caught. “Those are me.” Zero nodded. “Versions one through twenty-two.”

I almost laughed. Then the ground trembled. Not thunder. Not hooves. Something under the east ridge answered the fight. Anya went pale. Daniel heard it too. “What was that?” She looked toward the dark trees. “The grave.” The tremor came again, deeper this time. From far off, beneath earth and rain and old roots, something howled. It did not sound alive. It did not sound dead either. Anya whispered, “We’re too late.” Through the trees, a red-black light pulsed once under the ridge. Subject Zero had woken.

A pile of ash mixed with burnt offerings lay in one corner, while water-stained parchments and crude sketches littered the ground, sticky with red and black candle wax that had solidified with time. “Yes. I am Anubis… bone whisperer of the old pact.” Anubis raised her gaze, watching Lillia with piercing pale eyes that increased Lillia’s self consciousness all the more as it felt as though Anubis was staring into her soul. Then, her lips curved slowly, “and I know who you are… Zorya… First Light… the one who died broken… and returned unbroken.” Zorya? Fenris repeated as confusion stirred within Lillia. Is she a quack or what? She couldn’t even guess any of your names correctly.

He felt his bloodline snap into place the way you feel a map unfold — the specific geography of everyone who had ever come from Elise, and everyone who had come from them, a web of thirty-seven souls distributed across Europe like stars he'd been given to navigate by. He's never had to find them. They've always simply been there. Present in the background of every thought, every night, every century, the specific frequency of Marta in Warsaw and her particular shade of midnight worry, Felix in Lyon and his constant low-level delight at being alive, the younger ones whose frequencies haven't fully settled into themselves yet but whose directions he can read like compass headings. Smoke. For e

“How… did you know about Ground-Scrincan…” “If you had come a day earlier, you might have actually been able to kill me with your sword,” Kayson said indifferently. There was indignation in Ghoul Sword’s gaze as he asked, “What’s the name of your last move?” “Novem Lightning Zero Impact, which is triggered by lightning energy. I’m at the sixth stage now, so the lightning energy will erupt six times continuously within your body.” “No wonder… My tendons were destroyed within an instant and my inner energy vanished.”

He closed his eyes, opened them, and stared at the screen again. His thumb hovered uselessly above the glass. Instinctively, his eyes darted to the top of the portal page to double-check the routing parameters. He checked the account identifier first. The name listed was Ethan Vale. He checked the deployment reference marker. Node 04 — Industrial Logistics Complex. Correct. He checked the settlement execution date. Today’s timestamp. Correct. Then his eyes traveled back down to the final payout line. His brow furrowed deeply. "No," he whispered, his voice flat with immediate disbelief. "That's... that's a system glitch. Someone dropped a zero. Or three."

"Oh. Um, thanks?" "I'm serious," she said, like I'd sounded doubtful, which I suppose I had. "You've got this whole quiet, mysterious thing going on. It's very intriguing." "I just don't talk much, I guess." "See, that's exactly what a mysterious person would say." The girl on her left grinned around a mouthful of fries, unbothered by her own joke, and stuck her hand out across the table. "I'm Zanele. This is Priya, obviously, and that's Beth."

Auren's expression changed. “Zero…” Zero slowly removed the darkness surrounding his body. For the first time— Auren saw him clearly. No armor. No shadows. No ancient power. Just a young man. Same face as Auren. Same eyes. Same smile. But sadder. Much sadder. Zero whispered: “My name was never Zero.” Auren stepped closer. “Then what was it?” Zero looked at him. “Kael.” Kael froze. “What?” Zero looked at him. “No.”
