Lord of Wonders

If you love Lord of Mysteries, then this is absolutely for you. In the year 1900, the city of Cairo is a powder keg of progress and antiquity. Beneath the shadows of ancient minarets, the British Empire and the Khedive's court play their games of power, while gas lamps illuminate streets where forgotten magics lie dormant. In this city of glaring sun and deep shadows, Omar Hassan lives a life of quiet desperation. A meticulous, low-level clerk in the Khedivial Archives, his world has shrunk to the scent of aging paper and the mounting anxiety over his younger sister's worsening illness. His only goal is to earn enough to afford the European medicine that might save her. Omar's mundane existence is shattered when he is tasked with archiving a disturbing police file from the Restricted Section. The case, officially closed as a suicide, details the death of a man whose body was found folded in ways that defy the laws of anatomy. Clipped to the file is a photograph of the victim's final, cryptic note: "They sing from the angles. The geometry is wrong... I fold now. I fold to fit." Driven by a reckless curiosity he cannot explain, Omar steals the photograph of the note—an act that pulls him past a threshold from which there is no return. He has stumbled upon a truth hidden from the world: reality is a thin veil stretched over the Echoing Void, an abyss of non-existence from which alien, god-like beings press against the world. Their influence leaks into reality through "Whispers"—incomprehensible cosmic principles that manifest in esoteric artifacts, forbidden texts, and maddening sounds. Those who can decipher and internalize these Whispers can gain supernatural abilities, becoming "Listeners" who walk a razor's edge between power and damnation. Each ability, however, demands a sacrifice, forcing the Listener to align their very being with an alien concept. Failure to do so results in "Discordance," a terrifying process where one's mind and body are irrevocably corrupted, twisted into a monstrous reflection of the Whisper they failed to control. Now, haunted by what he has seen and touched, Omar discovers he is not alone. Secret societies, ravenous cults, and clandestine government agencies have long contended for control of this forbidden knowledge. Armed only with his sharp, analytical mind and the first terrifying tastes of a power that threatens to unravel his sanity, Omar must navigate a labyrinth of conspiracy and cosmic dread. To save his sister and himself, this humble scribe must learn the rules of an impossible game, deciphering the maddening symphony of the Void before the final, dissonant chord brings silence to the world.

The Crawling Chaos

“The Crawling Veil” “Those who seek answers know not what truths they will unveil. Curiosity is history’s greatest strength… yet man’s ultimate downfall.” Boston, 1930. Harrison P. Love is a private investigator running from his past. Broke, weary, and haunted by a sixth sense he barely understands, he takes cases others won’t touch. But when a frantic woman begs him to find her missing adopted daughter in the cursed town of Arkham, Harrison faces a choice: starve, or return to the place that nearly destroyed him. Arkham is no ordinary town. Its fog-shrouded streets reek of salt and secrets. The townsfolk whisper of a black pharaoh who stalks dreams, of children vanishing without a trace, and of strange geometries that bend the mind. As Harrison searches for the girl, his sixth sense begins to awaken in terrifying ways—visions of impossible landscapes, voices that don’t belong, and memories he can’t trust. Each clue draws him deeper into a labyrinth of cults, madness, and cosmic forces older than the stars. At the heart of it all waits Nyarlathotep, the Crawling Chaos—a god with a thousand faces and one singular purpose: to unmake Harrison’s mind and use his body as a vessel to walk the earth. To find the girl, Harrison must confront his own trauma, the truth behind his strange blue eyes, and the horrifying reason Arkham has been calling him back all along. But in a world where truth itself corrupts, some answers are better left unknown.

Hide-and-Seek

(“This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, businesses, places, events, and incidents are either the product of the author's imagination or used in a fictitious manner. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental.”) Deep in the heart of the dense forest, a group of children gathered for a game of hide-and-seek. Little did they know that this seemingly innocent game would soon take a sinister turn. The sun began to set, casting long shadows across the forest floor, and an eerie silence settled in the air. The children selected one of their own, a timid girl named Emily, to be the seeker. With a nervous smile, she closed her eyes and began counting, her voice echoing through the trees. As the seconds ticked by, the remaining children scattered into the darkness, seeking out the perfect hiding spots. Emily finished counting and opened her eyes, ready to find her playmates. But as she ventured further into the forest, a sense of foreboding gripped her. The once familiar surroundings seemed twisted and distorted, as if the very essence of the forest had turned against her. The trees, once tall and majestic, now appeared gnarled and twisted, their branches reaching out like skeletal arms. The moon's pale light filtered through the thick canopy, casting an otherworldly glow on the forest floor. An unsettling chill ran down Emily's spine, but she pressed on, determined to find her friends. "I will be posting this story on RoyalRoad.com”
