nwongyangyu
In a world where power is everything, and magic determines one’s worth, the powerless are treated as less than human—slaves, cannon fodder, or worse. Lucifer Rhyn, a 16-year-old slave boy sentenced to death, is offered a choice: die like a nameless stray, or grasp the Cursed Blade—a forbidden weapon with the soul of a failed revolutionary sealed within. The sword grants power. But power demands a price. Each strike, each spell, must be paid for—with memories, emotions, or even one's humanity. Lucifer refuses to bow—not to kings, not to gods, not even to the cursed voice whispering in his head. In a land ruled by bloodlines of divine magic, one boy rises to challenge an empire. Will he become the beacon of change... or the next monster born from hatred?

Dustbound Prophecies

Ḥamād, a soldier scarred by tragedy, thought death would bring an end to his pain. Instead, he awakens in a desolate, unfamiliar world where the sands whisper ancient secrets and the moonlight carries otherworldly power. This is no ordinary afterlife—it is a realm teeming with monstrous creatures, humanoid predators with wolf-like heads, and djinn wielding immense yet enigmatic powers. Ḥamād's new body, however, bears a sinister legacy: it once belonged to a shayṫān, a being despised across dimensions as a harbinger of destruction. Haunted by this revelation, he must uncover the mysteries of his own identity while battling the prejudices that come with his inherited form. But survival in this harsh and unforgiving world is no simple task. The rules are different, the enemies are relentless, and the astral energies sustaining his fragile existence threaten to run dry at any moment. Allies and enemies blur together, and trust becomes a dangerous gamble. His quest for answers is intertwined with deadly battles, cunning survival tactics, and a reluctant alliance with forces he barely understands. At the heart of it all lies a chilling question: can a man with such a cursed body ever find peace, or is he destined to repeat the cycle of vengeance and despair that consumed him in his first life? With its rich infusion of Middle Eastern mythology, layered world-building, and a protagonist caught between redemption and ruin, "Dustbound Prophecies" is a progressive fantasy saga that delves deep into the meaning of survival, the weight of identity, and the power of second chances. An epic journey awaits—one that will challenge the boundaries of fate and the very essence of what it means to live.
