  This book contains four books, which are: 
  - Forsaken Realms: Throughout history, there have been places where human ambition, industry, or even nature’s cruelty has left behind stark reminders of a world once bustling with life, now standing frozen in time. These forsaken realms—whether born of abandonment, catastrophe, or the slow erosion of human civilization—whisper tales of a forgotten past. They are the remnants of once-thriving cities, sprawling industries, and cultures now reduced to ruins, each holding secrets that time has almost claimed. 
  - Terra Incognita: To document the unknown is to navigate a delicate and often treacherous path. It is an undertaking that demands curiosity and courage, tempered by discipline and respect for the subject at hand. When the unknown takes the form of a remote, enigmatic island, the challenges multiply, and the journey becomes as much about understanding ourselves as it is about uncovering the mysteries of the place. 
  - The Bargain Paradise: An economical dwelling is a home designed with cost-efficiency in mind, blending affordability, functionality, and sustainability. The concept of such a dwelling goes beyond simply being cheap; it involves thoughtful design choices that minimize expenses while maintaining comfort and quality of life. At its core, an economical dwelling aims to reduce the financial burden on its owner without sacrificing the essential aspects of a well-built home. 
  - Himalaya Doomsday Device: In the vast expanse of the Himalayas, hidden beneath centuries of snow and ice, lay a secret that had been buried for generations. The towering peaks, once home to monks and ancient civilizations, now shielded a dark legacy that time itself had forgotten. The truth about this forgotten legacy, however, was about to resurface, altering the course of history and threatening the very future of a nation.
