After humanity gained civilization, people learned to name things. Once named, each object gained a “Story-Command.”

Early schools of thought saw this ability as a kind of spell—believing that names and titles could control people and things, or give contracts their binding power.

Nowadays, as civilization has advanced, the Story-Commandsystem has grown ever more sophisticated—and ever more powerful...

—Excerpt from Introduction to Story-Command

Ever since she was a child, Yay Zhongxia has had a unique gift: she can see the narrative—the descriptive text—attached to any object she looks at. She thought only one other person in the world shared this ability, a mysterious girl she met once in her childhood.

That is, until high school, when she and her twin sister Yuni stumble into a strange “one-book school” called Marelin High. There, she discovers a whole community of people who can see narrative, and even finds clues about that girl from her past.

At Marelin, everyone creates magic through writing—this is called Story-Command.

Dueling, cooking, even shipping your favorite couples—all can be achieved with the power of Story-Command. Some even say that adding a good luck meme from your elders boosts the effect!

But there’s a catch—once a story is written, it must be finished, or disaster will follow...

So, freshmen, pick up your fountain pens and ink—get ready to experience the true power of words!

🌈 BL and ghost stories are magic. So are mysteries, crackfics, and even elder memes—they can all be used in battle!

In this book, you’ll find:

Journey into the spellbinding world of Tilsim Hoshruba, a realm divided into three enigmatic regions, each brimming with magic, danger, and untold stories. In Tilsim Zahir, mortals and sorcerers live side by side, while in Tilsim Batin, the elite sorcerers and nobles hold sway over ancient secrets. But beyond them lies Tilsim Zulumat, where only the Sorcerer Emperor Afrasiyab and his kin—a witch, a sorceress, and other ancient beings—can tread. Here, the deadly Chamber of the Seven Awful Ones waits, hidden from mortal eyes but capable of unleashing destruction upon the entire realm.

In a land where gods such as Sameri, Laat, Mannat, and Jamshed are worshipped, an ancient prophecy foretells the coming of a son of Adam who will conquer Tilsim Hoshruba and bring an end to the tyranny of the Sorcerer Emperor Afrasiyab. Witches, warlocks, sorcerers, and sorceresses of royal blood and noble lineage vie for power within this enchanted realm, which stretches across vast kingdoms and mysterious lands.

Amidst this, beyond the borders of Tilsim Hoshruba, the legendary warrior Amir Hamzeh arrives in the kingdom of Koe Ateeq to confront Laqa, a self-proclaimed god who has taken refuge there. In an act of desperation, Laqa's advisor Bakhtiyar summons Afrasiyab's aid, leading the Sorcerer Emperor to send his arcane warrior Ejlaal to Laqa's side. But fate twists unexpectedly, and Ejlaal finds himself siding with Amir Hamzeh instead.

Meanwhile, Prince Badiuzzaman, the son of Amir Hamzeh, is captured by Queen Shararah, a sorceress queen of Tilsim Hoshruba, during a hunting expedition. Enraged, Amir Hamzeh resolves to invade Tilsim Hoshruba but learns through an ancient tome of Hamas that only his daughter's son, Prince Assad, can conquer the realm. With the trickster Umro Ayyar—Amir Hamzeh's childhood friend and master of disguise—by his side, Prince Assad sets out on a perilous quest to rescue Badiuzzaman and overthrow Afrasiyab.

As Umro Ayyar navigates the treacherous paths of Tilsim Hoshruba with his wit, trickery, and magical bag, Prince Assad faces danger head-on with the legendary Sword of Solomon. Yet, amidst these trials, fate brings him face-to-face with a mysterious figure whose deep blue eyes ignite a forbidden love—one that is as dangerous as it is irresistible.

In this first volume of an epic fantasy series, readers will be drawn into a world where ancient deities like Sameri, Laat, Mannat, and Jamshed are revered as gods, where magic is the fabric of reality, and where love, loyalty, and courage are tested against the forces of darkness. *The Legend of Tilsim Hoshruba* invites you to step into an enchanted realm where destinies are forged in the crucible of magic and adventure. Prepare to be captivated by a tale that will leave you yearning for more.

There are things no one was meant to see, and darkness that should never have been given living form.

"That the world is coming to an end has long since been a dead issue. Everyone has heard of it. Those who have seen it know what the truth is, those who haven't either believe it or not. Either way, no one really cares. We shattered reality itself to shards, but even the apocalypse could not make a difference. Those who are lucky enough to live well don't care about other people's misery or how the world collapses, not even if their own children will have nothing to inherit but ashes and fear, and no matter how much power they have, they only use it for their own benefit, while bringing suffering to others. And the worst is, no matter what nightmarish old or new ideologies they use to justify their deeds, the flock will follow. In the end, the story is always the same."

This is the story of a broken world haunted by the deepest horrors of the human soul, relentless persecution and superstitious hatred, a fanatic war against everything that is not human, and the damned who oppose and never yield to fate. This is not a fairytale.

What to expect:

A deep dark medieval high-fantasy with elves, dwarves, fairies and demons, magic and swords, romance and hatred, and a post-apocalyptic world. This is not a fanfiction of any sort, it's an original story that popped out from my head, and it's very dear to me. I am really happy if you find it worth reading!

Please read the short "Good to know" chapter before you dive in!
