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.

In the aftermath of Shadows Protocol, the world remains a perilous landscape of covert missions, political intrigues, and underground conflicts. As tensions between nations escalate, Pakistan’s elite intelligence team, led by the seasoned agent Zayan Malik, faces their greatest challenge yet—a rescue mission fraught with deception, betrayal, and unexpected alliances. It all begins with the sudden and mysterious disappearance of Zayan during a crucial mission in Lebanon. Tasked with intercepting and dismantling joint Israeli and Indian covert operations, the mission ends in catastrophe. A massive explosion rocks the target area, and Zayan is presumed dead, caught in the blast. His team—comprising Ubaid, Irfan, Kashif, and Captain Rizwan—finds themselves reeling from the loss of their leader, grappling with grief, doubt, and a profound sense of betrayal. The mission, which had seemed straightforward, now hangs over them as an unsolved mystery. Ten days pass in an agonizing blur of mourning and frustration until Aaliya, the team’s brilliant intelligence specialist, intercepts a cryptic communication hinting that Zayan might still be alive, held captive in Israel. The faint hope reignites the team’s determination, and Major Hamza, their chief, authorizes a new mission. The stakes are higher than ever as they covertly enter Israel, operating under intense scrutiny and evading a network of traps. However, the trail leads them to nothing—a carefully orchestrated ruse to lure them into enemy territory. Humiliated and disheartened, the team returns home, their trust in the intelligence community shaken, but Aaliya remains unconvinced that this is the end of their search. Months pass with no solid leads until a fragment of intelligence surfaces, pointing towards an oil refinery in the depths of Iraq. The team, though battered by the earlier failure, seizes this opportunity. They gather their equipment, resolve bolstered by the possibility that Zayan might be closer than ever. Major Hamza authorizes the mission, knowing the risks but also understanding that this could be their last chance to save their comrade. The journey to Iraq is fraught with peril, the team navigating hostile terrain, avoiding enemy patrols, and using every trick in their book to remain undetected. Every step they take is a step closer to a potential ambush, but they move with purpose, each of them understanding that this is a mission they cannot afford to fail. The refinery stands in a barren desert, surrounded by armed guards, patrolled by drones, and fortified with defenses. The team moves under the cover of night, taking up positions around the target. Ubaid, Irfan, and Kashif, with the patience of seasoned operatives, wait for the perfect moment to strike. Aaliya monitors the situation from afar, guiding them through the labyrinthine pathways and providing vital surveillance. As dawn approaches, the atmosphere is electric with tension, every sound amplified in the quiet desert night. Suddenly, the operation erupts into a firefight, bullets ricocheting off metal structures and grenades detonating amidst the chaos. The refinery becomes a battlefield, the echoes of gunfire blending with the sounds of the desert. The team pushes forward, cutting through the defenses and leaving a trail of destruction behind them. They know the cost of hesitation—failure means losing Zayan forever, and they are prepared to make any sacrifice necessary. Deep within the refinery’s underground levels, they locate a fortified chamber. The sight inside shocks them—Zayan, their leader, chained and barely conscious, his body bruised and battered from days of captivity. Hope mingles with fury as they realize the true extent of his ordeal. Ubaid, his voice cracking, sends a desperate message back to Major Hamza: "الحمداللہ sir, Zayan is alive and he's with us, but he's badly injured. Mission accomplished."

In a world teetering on the edge of collapse, Kian, a young drifter from a forgotten village, stumbles upon an ancient, dying phoenix that brands him with its spark—a fragment of primordial power. This spark is more than just a gift; it’s a key to a chain of ancient artifacts, scattered across the realms, that hold the secret to godhood. But wielding the spark comes at a price: a relentless curse binds Kian to the Void, an all-consuming force that seeks to devour existence itself. Hunted by the enigmatic Voidwalkers, Kian is thrust into a journey across desolate landscapes, treacherous mountains, and cursed ruins in search of the lost artifacts. But Kian walks his path alone—save for the mythical beasts he befriends along the way: Embercry, the reborn phoenix whose fire burns within him; Tempest, a storm-wreathed wyvern; and the elusive Obsidian Stag, guardian of forgotten realms. Each creature is bound to him not by command, but by trust, forging a bond that transcends words. As Kian’s power grows, so too does the void within him, threatening to unravel his soul. Straying too long from the central world that anchors his existence risks his complete dissolution, yet he must venture into forgotten dimensions and hostile planes to retrieve the artifacts before they fall into the hands of the Voidwalkers. The closer Kian gets to the truth of his destiny, the more he realizes that the spark isn’t just a tool for salvation—it’s a fragment of something much older, much darker. If he succeeds, he could ascend as a god and banish the Void forever. If he fails, he’ll not only lose himself but doom the entire universe to annihilation. But how do you destroy a force that has no end?

[MATURE CONTENT] He wanted to ruin her by every means but what happens when he is the one who becomes her protector in an enemy kingdom?   Can she survive in a kingdom where nothing but hostility awaits her? Synopsis:   In the year 299 of the Lunar System, a mysterious red streak fell to Earth, landing in unclaimed territory between the kingdoms of Eldoria and Selvarys. The discovery of magical red stones sparked a decade-long war between the two nations. To end the bloodshed, the kings of Eldoria and Selvarys arranged a marriage between Princess Cynthia, whose reputation in high society was marred by scandal, and Prince Lucian, the illegitimate son of Selvarys’s king. Princess Cynthia, known as a villainess and troublemaker, had recently faced a broken engagement. Despite her notoriety, she agreed to the marriage to stop the war and save her people. Prince Lucian, recently returned from the battlefield, despised the thought of marrying an enemy princess. However, as an illegitimate prince, obeying the king’s command was his only way to survive the palace conspiracies. In a marriage marked by mutual disdain and distrust, can they put aside their hatred and learn to live together? Or will the hostility surrounding them in the enemy kingdom be too great to overcome? Excerpt: “Your Highness, why do you always avoid looking at me when you speak?” Cynthia asked, her tone firm as she tilted her head curiously. “Is it because you can’t keep eye contact with me?” she added her words carrying a subtle edge. To Lucian, her remarks felt like thinly veiled criticism he heard countless times. He clenched his jaw, then raised his eyes, meeting Cynthia's gaze with his striking green-emerald eyes. “Are you mocking me, Your Highness?” Lucian asked quietly and lifted Cynthia's chin, leaning in closer, his eyes reflected his irritation at the princess’s harsh remarks, their faces nearly touching.  “Well, it doesn't matter to me. As long as you perform your duty as my wife properly, I will have nothing against you. But the moment you fail in your obligations,” his hand slipped on her shoulders as he stared deeply into her eyes.  “It’s the moment you will regret this marriage. You will regret marrying into an enemy kingdom where you have no one to protect you from harm. Where not even your husband is by your side.”  A soft chuckle escaped Cynthia, confusing the man before her. “I will not regret any of it. You will regret it when you fall in love with someone you don't even wish to see,” she mumbled. Disclaimer: This is enemies to lovers. Read only if this is your cup of tea!
