Ruins Novels & Stories

“There’s only one path. You need to travel north, through the Wildthorn Forest. The trees there grow so thick that the sunlight barely reaches the ground. There’s a river to the west of the forest—it’s the only way across the land that leads directly to the Ruins.” Alex’s eyes flickered, her expression tight. “You’ll need to stay off the main trails. The creatures that roam those parts aren’t… friendly. You’ll have to be quiet, stay hidden. And when you reach the Ruins…” She paused, her breath catching. “You’ll know you’re there. The moment you step into the place, you’ll feel it. The air is different, heavy, like the ground its

L"Come to the ruins with me. By myself." I was aware that it was careless to slip away while Kieran was still in shock and doubting everything. However, I needed to confront Draven for some reason. For sending such a prideful message. I really had to hear the truth straight from his mouth. The skeletal remnants of something once mighty were visible in the ruins, which were made of tangled vines and broken stone. Through the cavernous archways, the wind howled, telling mysteries of a bygone era. Afterward, I sensed him.

"All right, but we should be careful. There's no telling what kind of dangers might be lurking in those ruins." Aric agreed, and they made their way cautiously into the depths of the ruins. The air was thick with dust and the musty smell of ancient stone, and the only light came from the flickering torches they carried. As they descended deeper into the ruins, they began to hear strange noises. A rustling in the shadows, a whisper on the wind. It was as if the very stones were alive and watching them. Despite their nerves, Aric and Kaida pressed on. They soon found themselves in a large chamber, t

Renee Eamon: "What is this place?" I stop walking when I see something in the sand. Running right up to it, I see what looks like ancient stone ruins. The ruins include some pillars and a pathway, both are made from crumbling stone. "Ancient ruins," I think. "Is this the place? Finally! Yes! I can grab one of those game pieces the Headmaster mentioned!" I follow the crumbling pathway until I see a large entrance. The entrance is made from stacks and stacks of crumbling stone. It looks like it was built right into a sand dune.

"The ruins are believed to hold powerful relics, remnants of ancient civilizations. We need to explore these sites thoroughly but cautiously. There are dangers within—both known and unknown." General O'Malley continued, "You’re not the only team sent to explore these ruins, but you are the only one with the clearance for the deepest chambers. Make no mistake, the dangers in these ruins are real, and only the elite can handle what lies ahead." General O'Malley continued, his tone growing more serious. "We have confirmed that the Ancient Ruins you're exploring belonge

And I stood there, staring at the sister I thought I knew, realizing that what broke me wasn’t just losing my fiancé… it was losing the one person I never thought would hurt me like this. The sound of my mother’s sobs echoed through the house, and Adira’s last whisper trembled through the air… “I never meant to fall in love with him… but I did.” And that was when I realized… this wasn’t the end of something. It was the beginning of ruin. “Did you just say you love him???!!"

Melvin pov Melvin felt the weight of her honesty settle between them. He resisted the urge to fix it. Instead, he nodded. “That makes sense,” he said. Her shoulders relaxed slightly. “When safety arrives after chaos,” he continued, “it doesn’t feel like relief right away. It feels unfamiliar.” Lola swallowed. “I don’t want to sabotage this,” she said quietly. “But I don’t know how to trust that it won’t disappear.” He considered her words carefully. “I can’t promise permanence,” he said. “But I can promise consistency.”

I muttered the words under my breath as I touched my face with a hand. It'd been over seven years since I was involved in that fire accident, however the burn had scarred my face. I tilted my face to the side to get a better look at the scar. It made my skin appear like a crumpled piece of paper. I'd tried to hide the scar by wearing a make-up, but it was still visible as though I did nothing. “Argh!” I yelled, and smashed the mirror on the tiled floor. It shattered. I leaned my back against the wall and buried my face in my palms as I began to sob. Before long, my mother stormed into my room.

The ruins rose out of the earth like bones that the world had refused to bury properly. The closer I looked, the more wrong the place felt. The stones were broken and blackened, as if fire had once kissed them and never left. Some pillars leaned at sharp angles. They were held up by nothing. Strange markings were cut into the rock. They were worn and cracked, yet they still seemed deep, like scars that had never healed. The air around the ruins felt heavy. It pressed against my chest and made it hard to take a full breath. A cold shiver slid down my spine. I did not know why, but my skin felt tight as if it were warning me. This

The dawn broke like a pale promise, casting weak light over the shattered landscape that stretched before them. The Ruins of Eldara, a sprawling city once the heart of an ancient kingdom, lay hidden beneath layers of ash and forgotten memories. Its towering spires and crumbled walls, swallowed by time and neglect, rose like ghostly sentinels, watching over the land like silent witnesses.
