Title: The Curse of the Forgotten Abbey

Level: Advanced (C1)

#Story :

Elara, a daring historian, ventures into a forgotten abbey in pursuit of ancient knowledge. She soon realizes the abbey conceals a dark secret bound by a centuries-old curse. As eerie whispers fill the air, her curiosity compels her to explore further, where she discovers a tome revealing the abbey’s history—an ancient order had made a pact to contain a malevolent force. Her presence disrupts the balance, awakening ghostly figures who warn her to leave. Escaping just in time, Elara realizes the curse remains active, lying dormant and waiting for the next curious soul to disturb its slumber.
