The Bell That Rings Only Once

One Sound, One Choice, A Forever Changed Fate

Deep in the heart of different worlds, there is a bell that can only ring once.
No one knows exactly what will happen when it chimes,
but one thing is certain-something will change forever.
A memory may be lost,
a new world may begin,
or someone may disappear.
Each story in this book follows a moment of choice-
a moment where ringing the bell could mean giving up something precious.
If you had only one chance,
would you ring the bell?

Story Summaries

1 The Bell That Rings Only Once

In a quiet village, there stands an old, silent bell.
The villagers whisper that if it rings, the ringer will lose their most precious memory.
But one day, darkness starts to swallow the village.
The only way to save it is to ring the bell.
No one wants to forget.
No one wants to lose what they love most.
But if no one rings the bell, the village may disappear forever.
A girl named Sona steps forward.
She must decide:
Will she give up a memory to save her home,
or hold on to the past and risk losing everything else?

2 The Silent Song of the Unrung Bell

High in a castle, a bell hangs, waiting.
It can only ring once, but no one knows when the right moment will be.
So people wait. And wait. And wait.
Years pass. The bell grows rusty.
Still, no one dares to ring it.
One day, a boy looks up at the bell.
"What if we've been waiting too long?"
He takes a step forward.
Should he ring it now?
Or will waiting forever mean the moment will never come?

3 The Last to Ring the Bell

Only one bell remains in the world.
Only one person can ring it.
And when they do, they will vanish.
No one knows where they will go.
No one knows what will happen next.
They only know that the world will never be the same.
A boy named Echo feels a strange pull toward the bell.
"Am I the one meant to ring it?"
But is he ready for what comes after?
As he stands before the bell,
he must decide:
Ring it and embrace the unknown,
or turn away and leave the world unchanged?

A Message to Readers

For children, every choice feels big.
Which toy to pick, which game to play, which path to take.
Some choices are easy. Others are harder.
This book is about choices that happen only once.
Choices that shape the future.
Choices that come with both wonder and mystery.
As you read these stories, you may find yourself wondering-
"What would I do?"
And when you reach the last page,
you might have an answer.
Or perhaps, like the bell,
you will keep waiting for the perfect moment to decide.
