@Khang_KT
I just noticed this yesterday, where's chapter 86 and 87?
@Drewsrecord great question. After rechecking, it's just numbering problem on my end. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
A girl returns to the forest where her brother disappeared years ago… only to uncover secrets her family was never supposed to remember.

@Khang_KT correct me if I'm wrong, is your story, Brothers in arms connected to Operators in arms? If so, how?
@Khang_KT I see, thanks for the info. The reason why I'm asking is that I somehow forgot your story a few months ago, and what I remember is that Mason's team encounters an advanced civilization, and after re-reading your story, that advanced civilization is the Republic of Seaside, which I thought that 'Other Mason' created, and how it is connected to the prequel story. And I'm glad that I found your story again.
@Drewsrecord Ah, so your memory is definitely playing tricks on you! It's actually the exact same John Mason in both books, not a new guy with the same name. "Operator Between Worlds" covers his initial isekai adventure when he first crosses over. He didn't build an ancient advanced nation in the past. Brothers in Arms is just the direct sequel following that exact same Mason and his team in the present timeline. I highly recommend checking out the pinned reading guide on my bio page—it breaks down exactly how the books and the timeline connect! Reading the synopsis of both those books will also help to reorientate you.
@Khang_KT Oh, looks like my memory is a bit spoofed How is it connected? If my memory serves, the MC(Operator) built/create a nation long ago that is advanced in fantasy world, and then many years have passed, the other MC with the same name(Brothers) and his team encounters it. Is that right?
Welcome to the Lystyn Chronicles! If you are a first-time reader, or a veteran trying to figure out how everything connects, you are in the right place. Here is the official guide to the Lystyn Chronicles:
1. The Operator Between Worlds (The OG Prequel)
What it is: The story that started it all.
Where it fits: This is the foundational prequel. If you want to know the origins of the Lystyn universe, and the core lore, start here.
2. Brothers in Arms (The Main Event)
What it is: The direct continuation and the massive, ongoing central storyline. It follows Task Force Dagger, the coalition forces, and the heavy world-building as modern military tactics meet fantasy reality.
Where it fits: Read this after The Operator Between Worlds. This is the current "present day" of the canon timeline.
3. Steel Horizon (The Naval Parallel)
What it is: A parallel ongoing story focusing on the crew of an American destroyer navigating the same alien waters. It trades ground-pounding infantry action for naval warfare and strategy.
Where it fits: This runs simultaneously alongside Brothers in Arms. You can read them side-by-side! The best part? The endings of Steel Horizon are being written to eventually converge in a massive crossover event in the latter half of Brothers in Arms.
4. Forget the Original Plot, I Just Want to Engineer in Peace! (The Spin-Off)
What it is: A completely different flavor for fans of the Otome Isekai/Reincarnation genre! The protagonist is reincarnated straight into a book—specifically, into the "original plot" of The Operator Between Worlds.
Where it fits: This is a highly entertaining, alternate-universe narrative. It does not belong to the strict canon timeline of the main military books, but it uses the exact same world-building and lore from a completely fresh, engineering-focused perspective.
Thank you all for taking this journey with me, for reading, and for allowing this universe to grow. Grab your gear, check your ammo, and welcome to Lystyn!
@Khang_KT Hello Khang, I hope you're doing well. I recently came across *Brothers in Arms: Journey Through the Unknown* and wanted to reach out because the story genuinely stood out to me. What caught my attention wasn't just the premise itself, but the sense of adventure, camaraderie, and determination that seems to drive the journey forward. I run Hayes Literary, a platform dedicated to spotlighting independent authors and helping readers discover engaging stories. Your work struck me as the kind of story that readers who enjoy character-driven adventures would appreciate discovering. I'd love to potentially feature *Brothers in Arms: Journey Through the Unknown* in an upcoming author spotlight or reader discovery piece. If you have other works you'd especially like to highlight, I'd be happy to learn more about them as well. No pressure at all, I simply wanted to connect because your work left a positive impression on me. If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, feel free to send me a message anytime. Best regards, Christopher Hayes Hayes Literary
Writing this cause I like to write something different than my usual stff https://www.wattpad.com/story/124807002
@Khang_KT Literally you are incredible i'll expect some more books from you sooner^^btw em not an a writer but yeah i just love to read some interesting books like that❤btw may i talk with you if you don't mind?
@kaila1122 Thank you so much for your support! I am very honored and incredibly grateful that you spent so much time reading my books. Hearing that means the world to me! To be honest with you, my 'secret' is just consuming a lot of stories from every angle I can. I watch a ton of movies and videos, and I read a lot of books, manga, and comics. Taking in all those different types of media gives me a huge pool of ideas to pull from. My best advice is that whenever you get an idea—even just the tiniest detail—write it down immediately. Over time, that tiny detail will bloom into a scene, then a chapter, then a whole arc, and eventually an entire chronicle. I truly believe people naturally have incredibly wild imaginations, and the trick to writing is just using that to your advantage. Thank you again for the amazing support!
