Azad Ahmed was born into what many considered a perfect family. His father, Aadeel Ahmed, was a celebrated professional cricket player, renowned for his skill and sportsmanship. His mother, Dr. Aafreen Ahmed, was a brilliant surgeon whose work saved countless lives. Even his younger brother, Sameer, was a prodigy, excelling in academics and earning accolades from a young age.
In contrast, Azad was… ordinary. He wasn't bad at anything, but he wasn't exceptional either. Throughout his childhood, he struggled to keep up with the towering achievements of his family. His father often said, "You'll find your path one day, Azad," while his mother would gently remind him, "It's okay to take your time. Everyone's journey is different." But despite their kind words, Azad always felt like he was lagging behind—a shadow in the glow of his family's brilliance.
Things took a darker turn as he grew older. While Sameer got scholarships and internships, Azad faced rejection after rejection. He graduated with a degree in marketing, but every job application he sent out seemed to vanish into thin air. Interviews went nowhere, and even part-time gigs eluded him. "It's just bad luck," his family would say, always rallying to support him. But Azad couldn't shake the feeling that he was cursed.
Even though his family's love never wavered, the weight of their expectations pressed down on him like a boulder. No one said it outright, but he could see the subtle glances and the quiet sighs. He knew they wanted him to succeed. He wanted it too, more than anything.
One fateful day, Azad attended yet another job interview, this time with a small marketing firm. He thought he had done well, but as he left the building, his phone buzzed with the dreaded words: "We regret to inform you…"
Defeated, Azad was wondering if he'd ever catch a break. As he was sitting on a damp bench beside a bus stand, He fell asleep. Suddenly a jolt woke him up.
When he opened his eyes, Azad found himself in an entirely different world—a blocky world filled with dangers, towering castles, mythical creatures, and people wielding swords and magic. Confused and disoriented, he soon realized this was no dream.
For the first time in his life, Azad wasn't overshadowed by his family. He was utterly alone, with no one to lean on. But will it make any change?
Azad's journey in this new world was just beginning. No longer the underachiever, he would soon learn that even the unluckiest person can find their purpose in the unlikeliest of places.
