Title: The Phantom LibrarianLevel: Advanced (C1)


#Story :

Lydia, a young woman from the quiet town of Ridgewood, stumbles upon the mysterious library that no one in the town seems to talk about. Inside, she finds the enigmatic librarian, a ghostly figure shrouded in silence. Drawn by curiosity, Lydia explores the labyrinth of bookshelves and discovers a hidden room with a book that writes itself as she reads it. To her horror, the book tells her own story, revealing that her fate is sealed by the very pages she’s reading. As the library twists and shifts around her, Lydia tries to escape, only to be confronted by the librarian. In the end, the librarian reveals that Lydia’s story is far from over, hinting at a deeper mystery within the library’s walls.
