Zero's Familiar Light Novel の小説・ストーリー

A flash of white-gold light cut through the feed, and for a split second, I saw a face—001, the False Queen—smiling through the static. "A touching reunion," 001’s voice boomed through the lab’s intercoms, making every lightbulb in the room shatter simultaneously. "But the past is a dead weight, Zora. Why settle for a mother who is a victim when you can have a mother who is a god?" The terminal exploded in a shower of sparks. I stood in the darkness, the only light coming from the royal gold glow of my own eyes and the swirling embers of Dante’s Void-Wolf tattoos. The silence in the lab was deafening, broken only by the heavy, rhythmic thud of the Scrappers outside preparing for war.

Mira chipped in. “It's about what's going on. She doesn't have a scent, what is she?” “What are you guys talking about?” I placed my hands over my head to ease the ache I was feeling but it didn't help. Anytime I looked at them, I could see the wolves from the previous night. It was like my instinct was telling me who they were in image flashes. “Are you okay?” Orion helped me sit back on a tree. “Regular folks have a scent and so does someone that shares our curse. It's unique, different,” Tristan explained with a cold look.

ETHAN The neutral zone at the southern borders swallowed ghosts, which was one of the things I learned about this city. No one asked questions here. No one cared who you used to be. The streets were packed with people who shed their old lives like snakeskin and crawled into the shadows to survive. From the cracked windows of our apartment, I watched the streets. Ronan was going to be in for a surprise when he finally woke up. The Omega doctor said it was going to be soon.

TIME: 03:00 HOURS. LOCATION: SECTOR 0 BORDER - "THE ASH LANDS." STATUS: EXILE. The world ended at the edge of Sector 9. Beyond the rusted razor-wire fence lay Sector 0, a graveyard of the Old World. It wasn't a city anymore; it was a skeleton. Collapsed skyscrapers jutted out of the toxic fog like broken ribs. The ground was covered in a thick layer of grey ash that swirled in the wind, coating everything in a ghostly pallor.

It was a chilling display of power, a stark reminder of the depths of evil that could lurk within those entrusted with authority. The flashback dissolved as I heard a soft knock on the door, returning me to the present. I opened my eyes to find Lynn, one of our trusted team members, standing before me. Her presence pulled me away from the abyss of my memories, grounding me in the reality of our mission. "Lynn," I muttered, my voice tinged with gratitude and detachment. "What is it?" She took a deep breath, her eyes filled with concern and urgency. "Aaron, I've been digging into Zea's past and uncovered some unsettling information. We need to talk."

“Alright, you win. Maybe I’m a little predictable.” “Not predictable.” Sienna leaned forward. “Reliable. It’s different.” “You make me want to be better, Sienna.” Enzo said softly. “That’s not something I’m used to.” The mood shifts as Enzo stood and walked to the balcony. Sienna follows, the cool night air brushed against her skin. The city lights twinkled in the distance, a stark contrast to the dark world they inhabit. Sienna stood beside him. “It’s beautiful out here.”

At this moment, zero one suddenly a sprint, shook off the saber, mercilessly stabbed in the man's heart, and then pulled out the saber. He didn't carry a hot weapon, but his body was light, and he spent the middle of the night in the dense forest, which actually had more advantages. Put down the last person, zero one lay down on the ground, no more movement. When Mary arrived at Zero One, he was sitting on the ground. At first glance, nothing seemed to happen. But when she shook the bright light of the flashlight into Zero One's eyes, she didn't see his frown. Zero one has no great reaction to the feeling of light.

“Aster Likaya, Captain of the Zeraph Republic Voltiir Corps. Serial number 3349-88766.Aster Likaya, Captain of the Zeraph Republic Voltiir Corps. Serial number 3349-88766.” She repeated the phrases in her head, desperate to focus on something that didn’t involve the seeing numbness that had overtaken her body. The death of one Druid and the departure of another had weakened the vine wall that was separating them from their vessel.

The flame started to illuminate the paper. Aiko is always fascinated with anything luminous, especially the ones that stand out in the dark. She carefully placed her lantern down to make it float in the water. “She was the one who pursued me.” She heard Goo continued. He was almost out of breath as he was talking while blowing into his cupped hands. Aiko smirked at the guy next to her then watched her lantern move towards the others. The lanterns floating in the water is beautiful beyond words. She put her hands together and bowed. “May our wishes be granted.”

He pushed Khanza's hair behind her ear, then whispered, "Come on, my little girl, darling ... come to me." Suddenly, a white light appeared in the distance. Khanza stared at the bright light with her blank gaze. Then, slowly, that bright light began to enlarge and get closer to her. The black shadow who was hugging Khanza then click his tongue and just disappeared. Leaving Khanza who was increasingly immersed in the bright light. Such warm light. "Are you awake?"
