One ordinary night, Adam and Max log onto Discord, ready for a laid-back gaming session with friends. But when they drift off, Adam awakens alone on an uncharted shoreline in a world that’s anything but familiar—a world where magic rules and danger lurks in every shadow. With no idea why they were summoned or even if they’re meant to survive, Adam and Max have no choice but to push forward, venturing into a dark and hostile forest filled with threats beyond imagining. This strange realm brims with diverse regions, magical creatures, and otherworldly races, each with their own agendas. Here, a mysterious system monitors their every move, granting them strange powers and a path forward. While Max walks the unpredictable path of fire—and perhaps more—Adam’s journey twists into something darker. Newfound abilities in combat and blood magic hint at potential, but survival demands more than strength: it demands sacrifice. Forced to adapt in this unforgiving world, Adam and Max cling to one glimmer of hope: the discovery that others like them might be scattered across the realm. Determined to find their friends, they embrace the adventurer’s life, joining with allies to form The Lost, a guild dedicated to growing stronger, gathering resources, and unearthing the truths hidden in the shadows. The Lost Guild is Adam’s journey through a world of heart-pounding challenges and chilling secrets, where he and Max must face both the marvels and merciless realities of a land shaped by magic, monsters, and mysterious powers. In this realm, every choice counts, and the line between friend and foe is as thin as a blade’s edge. For now I will be posting this story on RoyalRoad.com as well.
