#Chapter 1: Awakening in the Unknown**
Arjun wandered the strange realm, overwhelmed by the massive scale of the world. The sky churned with violet hues and monstrous fire-breathing birds flew above, shaking the ground with their screeches. As he entered the walled city using the coins from his pocket, the town's people bustled around in medieval clothes, some with strange glowing artifacts.
Arjun noticed his body felt lighter, faster. His senses were sharper. He instinctively dodged a cart he hadn’t even seen coming. Something had changed inside him.
Inside the city, he searched for answers. Alibaba became his guide, introducing him to the "Chronicles Hall," a central hub of knowledge where ancient texts revealed glimpses of history, magic, and prophecy. Arjun discovered an inscription: *“When the Book of Realms awakens to blood, the Lost Fourth shall walk among the Elements.”*
Alibaba told him about the three summoned heroes—a swordsman, a mage, and a beast-tamer—who had appeared at the Royal Palace. Arjun’s arrival was unknown to anyone.

### **Chapter 2: The Fourth Hero**
Meanwhile, in the Royal Palace, King Vardis and his high mage discussed the summoning ritual’s error. “Three came as we called, but one... was misplaced. A fourth remains. Unseen. Untrained.”
Back in the city, Arjun was suddenly attacked by a rogue beast from outside the walls. Instinctively, his body reacted. A pulse of blue energy surged from his palms, pushing the creature back. People watched in awe.
A Royal Scout who witnessed the act rushed back to the palace. “There’s another! He bears the aura of the Fourth!” The king dispatched guards to find Arjun.
Before they arrived, Alibaba took Arjun to a hidden sage named **Elvina**, an elf who sensed great power inside him. She revealed that the magical book was a *Worldgate Relic*, created by ancient beings to summon chosen ones. His blood unlocked its magic because he carried the *Royal Vein*—a rare ancient bloodline.

### **Chapter 3: Secrets of the Past**
Elvina sensed another energy similar to Arjun’s—two, in fact. She revealed a truth: “Your parents… they came to this world years ago. They were Heroes once. They sought something… or someone.”
Memories flooded Arjun. His parents had vanished when he was in third grade. Could they still be here? Were they alive?
Elvina opened a portal using her Seerstone. Arjun saw a vision: a desert battlefield. His mother, wielding twin daggers, fighting side-by-side with his father, cloaked in shadow-magic. Then, the vision shattered.
“They live,” Elvina confirmed. “But are trapped by the *Drakon Sect*, servants of the Void Flame.”

### **Chapter 4: Reunion and Revelation**
Determined, Arjun trained under Elvina and Alibaba. He mastered elemental control, learned ancient glyphs, and discovered his unique power: **Chrono Pulse**—the ability to bend moments of time briefly.
Meanwhile, the other three heroes learned of Arjun and grew wary. The mage, **Liora**, sought him out in secret. Upon meeting Arjun, she felt a resonance—like fate binding them. She chose to ally with him in secret.
With Liora’s help, Arjun ventured beyond the western lands to **Ashen Peaks**, home of the Drakon Sect. Along the way, he uncovered old shrines built by his parents. One shrine held a recording left by his mother:
*"Arjun… if you hear this… we were summoned like you. We searched for a way home, but then we found out… you're the key. Only the Fourth Hero can unlock the Path of Return. Find the Star Crystal. Find us. And close the Rift."*
---
### **Chapter 5: The Rift of Realms**
At the Drakon Fortress, Arjun and Liora battled through guards and illusions. In the heart of the prison caverns, he finally found his parents—alive, but weak. They'd been imprisoned for years, their powers suppressed.
With an emotional reunion, Arjun used his Chrono Pulse to reverse the suppression sigils and free them. The family reunited after over a decade.
But their joy was short-lived. The ground trembled. The **Void Flame**, an ancient entity sealed beyond dimensions, began to awaken. The failed summoning years ago had weakened the barrier between realms.
The Royal King revealed his last secret: he had initiated the summoning not to save his kingdom, but to open the gate to the Void Flame, hoping to steal its power.
---
### **Chapter 6: War for the Realms**
The four heroes, now united, led the charge against King Vardis and his corrupted army. Arjun’s family stood beside him, fighting with heart and skill.
A massive war broke out at the Edge of Realms, where the Star Crystal chamber lay. The sky split open, revealing the swirling chaos of the Void Realm. The king merged with the Void Flame, becoming a monstrous fire demon.
In the final battle, Arjun unlocked the true power of the book—the **Worldgate Form**—becoming a glowing avatar of time and energy. With help from Liora, Alibaba, and his family, they sealed the rift using the Star Crystal and the book, but it required a sacrifice.
---
### **Chapter 7: A Twist of Fate**
Arjun stepped forward, ready to sacrifice himself to seal the rift. But his parents, determined to protect their son, offered themselves instead.
However, the book intervened. It split its power into three, binding Arjun and his parents together into a **Triad Soul**—a rare, immortal entity that guards realms from imbalance.
With the Void Flame sealed and the realms safe, balance was restored. The heroes were honored. The book closed—but remained in Arjun’s hand, now bonded to him permanently.
---
### **Epilogue: The New Age**
Years later, Arjun rebuilt the ancient library—now a portal nexus between worlds. Visitors from many realms came to learn, share, and read. Alibaba became its guardian. Liora became a Royal Mage and Arjun’s closest ally.
As for Arjun and his parents—they now served as Guardians of the Realms, guiding new heroes and protecting the world from hidden threats.
And on rainy days, when the skies turned blue, children whispered tales of the Fourth Hero who came from a dusty library… and changed the fate of worlds.
