The Awakening Of The Last Knight.
In an alternative universe wars are taking place between humans and ghouls.
A thousand years ago, humans built a siege to keep the ghouls trapped inside and stop them from attacking human villages. Fifty years ago, the siege cracked, and ghouls flooded the human world, destroying many cities.
They disguise themselves as humans or animals when they infiltrate cities. Then, they reveal their true forms, attack, and burn everything to the ground.
Scientists built a barrier system to keep ghouls out, and governments trained warriors to use high-tech devices to fight them. The strongest group of warriors, who fought bravely for the last decade, are called the Knights of Askalan. They fought the battle that took place ten years ago, protecting their city from ghouls, and are now the heroes and protectors of the city.
Ali is a 21-year-old fresh graduate. On the day of his graduation, he was having fun with his friends and taking pictures during the ceremony when ghouls attacked from the sea. Somehow they broke the barrier.
His friends were killed while trying to escape. He went to check on his family, but two of his brothers had been killed while defending his mother and younger sister, and his father was injured. He tried to get them to safety amid the chaos, but they were trapped. So, he decided to sacrifice himself, leading the ghouls away from his family. The ghouls surrounded him and attacked one by one. Just as he thought he was finished, a system screen appeared, giving him a choice: start over the day with new armor or carry on and die.

Chapter: Chapter 473 The First BattleThe village was small, tucked away in the hills near the border. It was the kind of place that time had forgotten—a handful of stone houses, a small mosque, and fields of olive trees that had been tended by the same families for generations. But tonight, it was a battlefield.Sami crouched behind a low wall, his blade drawn, his heart pounding in his chest. Beside him, Samir was motionless, his eyes fixed on the shadows that moved beyond the village's edge."There are at least a dozen of them," Samir whispered. "Maybe more."Sami nodded, his grip tightening on his blade. "We've trained for this. We're ready."But the younger recruits behind them were not ready. Their faces were pale, their hands trembling, their eyes wide with fear. It was their first time seeing real Ghouls—not holograms, not training dummies, but the real thing. The monsters that had haunted their nightmares were now standing before them, their claws glinting in the moonlight.Sami turned to them, his voice calm but

Chapter: Chapter 472 The New GuardThe sun rose over the hills of Askalan, casting its golden light across the training grounds of the Knights Academy. The facility was modest, a few buildings, a large courtyard, and rows of training dummies that had seen better days but it was home. It was where the next generation of Knights was being forged.Marwan stood at the center of the courtyard, his arms crossed, his eyes scanning the young recruits who were running laps around the perimeter. They were young, eager, and full of energy. They reminded him of himself, once. A lifetime ago."Faster!" he shouted. "The Ghouls won't wait for you to catch your breath!"The recruits pushed harder, their feet pounding against the dirt. Marwan watched them with a critical eye, noting their form, their endurance, their determination.Sami and Samir were among them, leading the pack. They had grown into young men, they were strong, disciplined, and committed. They trained alongside the new recruits, setting an example, pushing themselves

Chapter: Chapter 471 The LegacyThe new branch of Askalan Technologies stood in the heart of Jerusalem, a sleek building of glass and steel that caught the morning light like a beacon. The sign above the entrance read: "Noor Technologies: A Branch of Askalan Technologies." The letters were elegant, gold against white, a quiet tribute to the daughter who had changed everything.Ali stood at the entrance, his daughter Noor in his arms. She was older now, her eyes bright with curiosity, her chubby hands reaching for the shiny letters on the sign. Haneen stood beside him, her hand resting on his arm, her face glowing with pride."This is it," Ali said, his voice soft but filled with emotion. "This is for you, Noor. One day, this will be your company. And you'll be the best CEO this world has ever seen."Noor gurgled happily, her tiny fingers grabbing at his collar. Ali laughed, kissing her forehead."And even if you don't want to work," he continued, his voice warm and teasing, "I'll take care of everything. I'll still

Chapter: Chapter 470 The FoundationThe building was modest, a small storefront in the heart of the old city, with a simple sign above the door. It read: "The Hadi Foundation: Justice for All." The paint was still fresh, the windows still clean, and the smell of new wood and fresh paint filled the air.Hazim stood at the entrance, his hands in his pockets, his eyes fixed on the sign. It had taken months to get here, months of planning, fundraising, and building. But now it was real. It was finally real.Ali appeared beside him, his face tired but his eyes bright. "It looks good.""It looks perfect." Hazim's voice was soft, almost reverent. "Hadi would have loved it.""He would have." Ali placed a hand on his shoulder. "He would have been proud of you. Of all of us."Hazim nodded slowly. "I hope so."---The opening ceremony was simple, but meaningful.Hadi's mother stood at the center of the small crowd, her hand resting on her heart, her eyes wet with tears. She was surrounded by the Knights—Hazim, Ali, Laith, Haitham,

He had been coming here every day, bringing food, sitting with her, offering what comfort he could. But no matter what he did, he knew it was never enough."Auntie," he said softly. "I've brought some company."Ali stepped forward, his face gentle, his voice warm. "May we come in?"She looked up, her eyes red-rimmed, her face etched with grief. "Of course. Please. Sit."They filed in, Hazim, Ali, Laith, Haitham, and Marwan. They brought food, flowers, and the quiet presence of people who cared.They sat with her for hours. They talked about Hadi—his childhood, his laughter, his dreams. They shared stories of his bravery, his kindness, his unwavering commitment to justice.Hadi's mother listened, her eyes wet, her hands trembling."He was always like that," she said, her voice soft

Chapter: Chapter 468 The Weight of GriefThe small apartment was quiet, the only sound the soft hum of the ventilator and the distant murmur of the city outside. Hazim sat by the window, his eyes fixed on nothing, his hands folded in his lap. He had been here for hours, sitting with his grandparents, trying to offer comfort that he knew was never enough.Ali found him there.He didn't say anything at first. He just walked over and sat beside his friend, his presence a quiet offering of solidarity. They sat in silence for a long moment, the weight of everything pressing down on them.Finally, Hazim spoke, his voice barely a whisper."I feel so sorry for Hadi's parents. They lost their only son. They are old, and they have no one. Hadi asked me to take care of them, and I'm trying. But no matter what I do, I know I'll never be a replacement for their precious son."Ali placed a hand on his shoulder. "You don't have to be a replacement. You just have to be there. That's all anyone can do."Hazim shook his head slowly. "Haitham

Chapter: Chapter 165 epilogueThe morning arrived quietly, without fanfare. No notifications, no urgent messages, no scheduled meetings. Just the soft light filtering through the curtains and the distant sound of birds outside Zaid's window. He lay in bed for a long moment, staring at the ceiling, thinking about nothing and everything.Then he sat up, reached for his phone, and opened the camera.He didn't plan it. He didn't write a script or check his lighting or worry about how he looked. He just pressed "Go Live" and waited for the viewers to trickle in.The first few comments appeared—confused, curious, still waking up like the rest of the world."Is this real?""Zaid? Are you okay?""What's happening?"Zaid smiled at the screen, his hair a mess, his voice still rough from sleep."Hey, everyone. I know this is random. I didn't plan this. I just... woke up and wanted to talk."---He talked about the beginning. About the channel, the system, the debt. About the boy he used to be—scared, insecure, desperate to p

Chapter: Chapter 164 The Usual Late WalkThe night air was cool against Zaid's face as he walked through the empty streets, the city quiet around him. The festival had ended days ago, but its energy still lingered—the conversations, the connections, the sense that they had built something that would last. His phone buzzed with a message from Khamees."Can't sleep. Shawarma?""Same. Meet you there."The shawarma place was nearly empty at this hour—just the owner, Abu Tarek, wiping down the counter, and a single customer eating quietly in the corner. The smell of grilled meat and garlic wrapped around Zaid as he walked in, familiar and comforting.Khamees arrived a few minutes later, looking tired but not sad. They ordered their usual—two chicken shawarmas, extra garlic, extra pickles—and sat at the table by the window, the streetlights casting long shadows on the pavement."You look like you've been thinking," Zaid said."I'm always thinking.""About?"Khamees unwrapped his sandwich, took a bite, chewed. "My father."Zaid wai

Chapter: Chapter 163 Family DinnerThe phone rang on Thursday evening, just as Khamees was closing up the shop. He glanced at the screen, his mother's name and felt the familiar knot tighten in his chest. They had spoken since the argument, but the conversations were short, careful, like walking on ground that might crumble."Hello?""Khamees, habibi. Your uncle is coming to visit tomorrow. Your father's youngest brother. He's been traveling and wants to see everyone."Khamees's shoulders relaxed, just slightly. Uncle Jamal. His favorite. The one who had always encouraged him, who had sent messages of support when the shop opened, who had never once made him feel like a disappointment."I'll be there," Khamees said."Good. Come early. Your father wants to talk to you before dinner."The knot tightened again. "Talk about what?""I don't know. Just come."She hung up. Khamees stood in the empty shop, the mannequins watching him with their blank faces, and wondered what his father could possibly want now.---The next day

Chapter: Chapter 162 Proud ParentsThe afternoon sun hung low in the sky, casting a golden glow over the park. The festival had settled into a comfortable rhythm—vendors chatting with customers, children running between booths, the hum of happy voices filling the air. Zaid was helping the potter pack up his remaining bowls when he saw her.His mother was walking through the entrance, a canvas bag over her shoulder, her eyes wide as she took in the scene. She had been working at the hospital all morning and had texted him that she would come "if she could." Apparently, she could.Zaid excused himself and walked towards her, weaving through the crowd. "Mama. You made it.""Of course I made it. I wouldn't miss this." She looked around, her face soft with wonder. "Zaid, this is... incredible. Look at all these people.""All here for the vendors. For the small businesses. For the stories.""You built this.""We built this. Khamees, Bassam, Imran. Everyone."She pulled him into a hug, holding him tight. "I'm so proud of you.

Chapter: Chapter 161 First DayThe morning of the festival arrived clear and bright, the sun rising over the park like a blessing. Zaid stood at the entrance, a clipboard in his hands, his heart pounding in his chest. Around him, volunteers scurried between booths, vendors arranged their displays, and the smell of fresh bread and coffee drifted from the food court.Khamees appeared beside him, two cups of tea in his hands. "You look like you're going to be sick.""I feel like I'm going to be sick.""Good. That means you care."Zaid took the tea, the warmth seeping through the paper cup. "What if no one comes?""Then we drink all the tea and eat all the food and have a very nice private festival.""You're not helping.""I'm not trying to help. I'm trying to keep you from spiraling."The first visitors arrived at 9 AM—a family with young children, the mother holding a phone, the father carrying a backpack. They stopped at the entrance, looking around with wide eyes."Is this the festival?" the mother asked. "The one

Chapter: Chapter 160 The FestivalThe idea came to Zaid in the middle of the night, as the best ideas often did.He had been lying awake, staring at the ceiling, thinking about Mr. Taymoor. Not with anger, he was tired of anger—but with something else. Something like understanding. Mr. Taymoor wasn't the problem. He was a symptom. A product of a system that rewarded attention over substance, spectacle over truth.And Zaid was done with that system.He sat up, reached for his phone, and called Khamees.It was 2 AM."What?" Khamees's voice was thick with sleep."I have an idea.""You have an idea at 2 AM?""The best ideas come at 2 AM."Khamees groaned. "This better be good.""It's better than good. It's important."---An hour later, they were sitting in Khamees's apartment, a pot of coffee between them, Zaid's notebook open on the table. Bassam had arrived too, summoned by a series of increasingly urgent texts. Imran was there because he never slept."Okay," Khamees said, rubbing his eyes. "Explain."Zaid took a breat

His heart was full, his mind racing with the joy of the previous night. But there was one more call he needed to make. One more conversation that would make everything real.He dialed the number and waited."Shihab?" His mother's voice came through, warm and curious. "You're calling early. Is everything alright?""Everything is perfect, Mama," Shihab said, a smile spreading across his face. "I have news. Big news."There was a pause, then a rustling sound. He could imagine her sitting up straighter, her eyes widening with anticipation. "Tell me.""I'm getting married," he said, the words feeling surreal on his tongue. "To Ibtihal. The engineer I told you about. I asked her father last night, and he said yes."Silence. Then a sound he hadn't heard in years—his mother's joyful cry, a sound of pure, unbridled happiness.

But then he thought of Ibtihal's smile, the way she had looked at him when she handed him the paper, and he found the courage to press the call button.The line crackled, then connected. A man's voice, deep and warm, answered. "Hello?""Hello," Shihab said, his voice steadier than he felt. "My name is Shihab. I'm... I'm a friend of Ibtihal's.

Chapter: Chapter 103 Don't Mess UpShihab walked the perimeter of the Safe Zone, his hands clasped behind his back, his eyes scanning the horizon. The morning sun was warm, the sky clear, the air fresh. It was one of those rare days when the world felt almost normal, almost peaceful. He had been taking more of these walks lately, stepping back from the constant demands of leadership, allowing himself to simply exist.The wall was strong. The fields were green. The children's center was buzzing with activity. Everything he had fought for, everything he had bled for, was here. And yet, something was missing. He couldn't quite name it, but it gnawed at the edges of his thoughts, a quiet ache that wouldn't go away."Shihab!" Karam's voice called out from behind him.He turned to find Karam and Jawad approaching, their faces relaxed, their steps unhurried.

Chapter: Chapter 102 The Mysterious ComplexThe creature in the cage was unlike anything Ibtihal had studied before. Its dark skin seemed to absorb light, its red eyes tracked movement with an intelligence that was unsettling. It didn't thrash or hiss like the others. It watched. It waited. It studied them as much as they studied it.Ibtihal worked around the clock, her lab cluttered with beakers and vials, her whiteboard covered in new equations. The creature's blood was different—darker, thicker, laced with a protein she had never seen before. It was as if the pathogen had evolved, adapting to the counteragent, finding a new way to survive."This is bad," Ibtihal said, her voice hollow. She stood before the whiteboard, her marker frozen mid-equation. "The counteragent works by blocking the protein that triggers the transformation. But these new creatures—they don't have that protein. They have something else. Something the counteragent can't touch."Shihab stood in the doorway, his arms crossed, his expression grim. "Then we

In the back, Karam monitored the radio, while Ibtihal studied her tablet, her brow furrowed in concentration."The settlement is about twenty kilometers ahead," Ibtihal said, breaking the silence. "According to Rashid, the creatures attacked from the east, using the forest for cover. They came at night, when visibility was low.""Then we set our trap in the forest," Shihab said.

But as the walls of the Safe Zone appeared on the horizon, his focus shifted back to the present.The gates opened, and they drove through, past the guards, past the children playing in the courtyard, past the hospital where the wounded were recovering.
