In the heart of the Sahara Desert, where only whispers of the past echo across the endless dunes, lies the forgotten kingdom of Dungu—a once-vibrant realm blessed with lush vegetation, shimmering gold, and life-giving waters. Two decades ago, the land thrived under the watchful eyes of sun and land gods, their powers harnessed by the people for prosperity and abundance. But as the flames of greed ignited, the kingdom crumbled, burying its secrets beneath the shifting sands of time. Fast forward, a diverse group of history students embarks on an adventurous trip to explore the Sahara desert. Among them are Ewe Rose, a resourceful young woman with dreams of a brighter future, Nandi Gutt, a spirited girl, Renny Smith, an African American exchange student with depression and a hidden story.Edi Danny, a local boy. When a chance encounter with the remnants of the kingdom awakens the long-dormant powers of the land and sun gods, the four friends find themselves imbued with incredible abilities: the power to summon rain, cultivate flourishing crops, and unearth precious minerals hidden beneath the surface. United by their newfound gifts but burdened by the weight of Dungu's past, they must navigate the complexities of their powers and the responsibilities that come with them. As they unravel the secrets of Dungu, the group faces challenges that test their friendships, courage, and understanding of their place in the world. They must confront the shadows of greed that once toppled the kingdom and learn that true wealth lies not in riches, but in harmony with nature and each other.

Title: Stained Sand In the bustling streets of Mumbai, Rohan, an ordinary high school student, has learned to live with the occasional tremors of life—both literal and metaphorical. However, when an inexplicable event disturbs the peaceful rhythm of his world, Rohan finds himself trapped in a surreal battle between reality and something far more sinister. One morning, while Rohan gets up with playful teasing from his younger siblings, Aarav and Aryan, there is something in the air that is very disconcerting: sand everywhere in great and menacing stretches, as if overnight, has swallowed up the familiar world. The streets start shifting, the school ground begins to shift, even the skies seem to have had the laws of nature torn apart. There's something unnatural with the sand, a weight in the air-as if eyes were watching him, waiting for him to make a move. It all happens when Rohan finds himself faced with a strange man who comes from the sky, garbed in flowing white robes, and tells him that he is very, very far from ordinary. Actually, Rohan leads a life full of hidden powers, wanted by darker forces, even though he has lived an apparently very mundane life in Mumbai. As the man with strange abilities challenged Rohan, manipulating the sand around them into deadly weapons and illusions, Rohan realized that he was no longer a student. He would have to stand up to the forces of this mysterious stranger, who either wanted to wake up his latent powers or destroy him once and for all. With the sand constantly shifting, it reveals more and more of its secrets, and Rohan comes to understand that his life is connected to something much greater than he could have ever imagined: bound by ancient powers, forgotten gods, and a dimension-spanning conflict. Torn by his own identity and the depth of his powers, Rohan must fight his way through this new world full of fatal enemies, obscured truths, and dark alliances. But sand is not his only enemy: old friends, childhood memories, and even the ones he loves may be part of a larger game that may destroy everything he holds dear. Can Rohan find out about his powers before it is too late, or will the dunes of destiny bury him and the world in an eternal storm?

The Flame Maiden Lito woke up from the altar, but everything around her had changed beyond recognition. She stood on the hot sand dune, her vision distorted by the scorching air. She couldn’t help but cover the sunlight with her hand, looking up at the sky, only to see a scene like sunrise, from the white horizon to the orange dome, but the difference was that instead of the original sun, there was a huge hole, shining with dazzling light, even as a god, Lito could not look at its existence directly. The appearance of this sun seemed to have changed the whole world, the original dense forest and green grassland had long turned into ashes, forming a series of undulating sand dunes, and the towering mountains, now became black and bald rock walls burned by fire, the sea no longer existed, the seawater had dried up, replaced by a piece of steep stone beach, extending from the original sea level to the bottomless place. The earth cracked, new creatures appeared, new dwellings were built, everything was fresh, or decayed, lifeless, no matter how different from the past, and now, Lito needed to reacquaint herself with this world.

There exist dimensions other than our own with their own worlds inside. For example, when we hear 2d and 3d we think of games or movies. however, these are actually the names for real dimensions, and these dimensions exist from 1d to 9d with Earth residing in 1d. However these dimensions aren't perfect and can sometimes fracture, creating cracks and sucking in things or people and puting out somewhere random(kinda like backrooms except that would be 4d). this is how we see unexplained things on earth, from magic to superpowers to supernatural things. One such crack forms in the middle of a room and sucks in a sleeping and unsuspecting teenager in the middle of the night, and and throws him into 2d, outside of bounds he wakes up shorty after. (Authors note: i do edit the chapters again if i notice a spelling mistake or something, so give it atleast a hour before you read a new chapter so that i can catch most of the mistakes.) (sorry for the synopsis being trashy. I'm really bad at coming up with good names or descriptions. just give it a try :))
