Glimpse of Volume 4: Adventures Beyond the Bridge
Volume 4 picks up in 2055–2060, as the grandchildren of Ahmed Khan (Aelar Thorne) reach their teens and early twenties. The Eternal Bridge is no longer just a doorway—it's a living network, with stable sub-portals linking dozens of realms. The first generation (Ammar, Zara, Liyana, etc.) are now mentors and leaders; the second generation (grandchildren) are the new walkers, each inheriting unique chaos affinities, hybrid powers, and the weight of two suns.
The tone remains upbeat and hopeful, blending high-stakes multiverse adventures with family warmth, witty banter, Sufi/Punjabi/Saraiki wisdom, and cross-cultural comedy. New threats emerge: "Echo Fractures"—unstable echoes of sealed rifts that now birth "Mirrorborn," alternate versions of the family from fractured timelines trying to overwrite the bridge.
Key New Elements in Volume 4
• Protagonists: Grandchildren (ages 15–22) as main POV characters.
• New threats: Mirrorborn (dark reflections), Fractured Timelines (parallel selves seeking dominance), and the "Silent Veil" (a growing silence that erases stories and memories).
• New system feature: "Legacy Sign-In" — grandchildren can sign in at locations tied to their bloodline (e.g., Kot Addu orchard, Whispering Dunes, Hogwarts, Konoha, Fairy Tail guild) for unique class evolutions and mentor echoes.
• New mentors: Expanded legend pool + multiverse heroes (e.g., Gandalf, Yoda, Ahsoka, Natsu, Simon, Katara, etc.) rotate as guides.
