Here is the code:

Code:

format PE64 GUI
entry start

include 'win64ax.inc'

section '.text' code readable executable

        start:
                sub     rsp,8*5
                mov     r9d,0
                lea     r8,[_caption]
                lea     rdx,[_text]
                mov     rcx,0
                call    [MessageBoxA]
                add     rsp,8*5

                nop
                nop
                nop
                nop

                sub     rsp,8*5
                invoke  MessageBoxA,0,_text,_caption,0,MB_OK
                invoke  ExitProcess,0

section '.data' data readable writeable

        _caption        db  'Test',0
        _text           db  'Hello World',0

section '.idata' import data readable writeable

        library kernel32,'KERNEL32.DLL',\
                user32,'USER32.DLL'

        import kernel32,\
               ExitProcess,'ExitProcess'

        import user32,\
               MessageBoxA,'MessageBoxA'

What's wrong with macro 'invoke'? Why there is an additional shift?

I will show the screenshot in IDA

invoke macro takes care of allocating stack space on each call, to avoid that, use frame/endf ( http://flatassembler.net/docs.php?article=win32#1.4 )

I didn't know that invoke is a macro, thought it was an instruction inside fasm.

You have one too many parameters there. MessageBox only takes four parameters.

@Rev
If I give 4 parameters, the code will be
sub rsp,28h
sub rsp,20h
..
..

SO WHAT'S WRONG?

Nothing is wrong. You have manually specified the sub rsp,28h, and the invoke macro has generated the sub rsp,20h. Your rsp adjustment is aligning the stack (with an extra 20h bytes for unknown purpose). If you do not want invoke to allocate stack space then follow LocoDelAssembly's suggestion.
