Title: The Lost Manuscript of the Scholar

Level: Intermediate (B1)

#Story :

Alex, a passionate historian, becomes obsessed with finding a lost manuscript rumored to hold secrets of an ancient civilization. After finding clues in an old journal, he ventures into a dense forest and discovers the manuscript in a mysterious ruin. Ignoring warnings about the dangers of forbidden knowledge, he begins to read, uncovering ancient rituals and a warning left by the scholar who wrote it. As he reads, whispers and eerie visions surround him, and he realizes he’s not alone. The ruin begins to collapse, and he narrowly escapes, but a ghostly figure—possibly the spirit of the scholar—follows him, asking why he sought forbidden secrets. Haunted by the experience, Alex becomes part of the legend of the manuscript, forever followed by whispers and visions of a past he cannot forget.
