Places In Stephen King

My name is Shaytan. Just Shaytan. Every morning at five, I start my day like anyone else—cereal, eggs, or toast, followed by a meticulous brushing session where I avoid any contact with the damn bogey lurking in the mirror. I have a roommate, a werewolf. We are best friends and also classmates. After school, I work as a bartender in a nearby pub, where apart from your regular humans, other creatures also get together for a drink. Aside from these quirks, my life was relatively normal — until everything turned upside down. The peacefulness of the night seems to be over, the Fifth King is preparing for war — perhaps for world domination —, and common sense has evaporated somewhere along the way. And somehow, I got right in the middle of this glorious mess.

Eighteen-year-old Nabil suddenly finds himself transported to a dangerous, game-like world along with 50 other players. Scattered across a vast realm of 10 continents, the players quickly realize that while this world bears striking similarities to a popular game they once knew, it is no virtual landscape. Instead, it is a reality created by a higher-dimensional god, who has sent them here for his own twisted form of gambling entertainment. This god watches from his dimension as the players struggle for survival, their fates dangling by the thread of his whims. The rules are brutal. Each player has one year—365 days—to find a way out. However, only five can escape, leaving the others trapped in this deadly world, or worse, condemned to an unknown fate. The stakes are high: killing another player grants points, and accumulating enough points may be the only way to secure one of the five spots for freedom. Alliances will form, and betrayals are inevitable, as desperation pushes players to act in ways they never imagined. Nabil, initially feeling hopeless, is seemingly dealt the weakest ability among all the players: the power to control pets. Compared to others who possess flashy and devastating skills, his ability appears laughable at first. Worse, he has no additional skills to rely on—only his wits, his ability to command creatures, and his will to survive. Yet, as Nabil explores this dangerous world, he soon learns that his power may hold more potential than he ever imagined. In a realm filled with monstrous beasts, rival players, and deadly environments, his pet control ability could be his key to survival. Through taming and commanding various creatures, Nabil begins to develop a unique strategy that allows him to take on both powerful enemies and cunning rivals. But Nabil knows the harsh reality: every player is a threat. As alliances shift and tensions rise, he must carefully navigate who to trust and who to eliminate. With limited time and a finite number of players allowed to return home, the competition grows deadlier by the day. Nabil’s journey is not just about brute strength; it’s a test of cunning, survival instincts, and the ability to uncover the true potential of his seemingly weak power. As he uncovers more about this mysterious world, Nabil begins to question the motives of the higher-dimensional god who put them here. Is there more to this cruel game than just survival? What hidden secrets does this god’s world hold, and is there a way to outsmart the rules entirely? Nabil must not only survive but find a way to escape this nightmare—before it consumes him and the others entirely.

In a world where games have turned into reality, Valdris Altair Mournveil—once the unkillable final boss of a near-endless dungeon—finds himself stripped of his greatest asset: invincibility. Known as the fearsome ruler of the Veil of Eternity, Netharis, Valdris was once the terror at the top of the 9,999th floor, a being that no player or creature could defeat. But now, in this new reality, Valdris grapples with a terrifying truth—he can die. As those who once feared him still cower at his legendary reputation, he silently wrestles with crippling self-doubt, battling internal screams and the creeping anxiety of being exposed as vulnerable. Despite the change, he maintains his composed and powerful façade, attempting to live up to the persona of a figure who still inspires fear and awe. While most people still avoid him due to his infamous reputation, some people remain oblivious to his legend, knowing only of his domain and dungeon. Valdris must navigate this new world, managing his Vassals and his crumbling confidence, while others perceive him as the unkillable force he once was.

There will be many characters, some more important than others. Although this is a fiction, most of the characters and events occuring are real and this book works with historical events. And last but not least, you may find this book offensive. After all, it rewrites history completely. And if you do, just don't read it. Enjoy!
