ZARQA

Step forth and dive back in time, to the depths of the desert, where the stories of old unfold before your eyes. A story of treasure hunting, betrayal, and destiny. Giants and Jinn. Magic and poisons. Curses and bloodlines. Royalty and backstabbing. Death and life. When a gruesome future is all you see, how can you change it? When you're foretold to fail, how should you move on? Zarqa, the girl who saw beyond time, sought to find answers. -------------------------- Legend says that Zarqa had sharp eyes that could look far away in the distance. But what if that wasn’t the end of it, what if her eyes were seeing far beyond not only space, but time? What if Zarqa was blessed with a prophecy, one that could save her dying village from destruction? Just as they thought they had no way to survive, Zarqa learns of a way to protect her village from demolition. Naturally, no one believed her, for no one but the Almighty could see beyond the present. They forgot the Almighty offers knowledge to those whom he deems of worth. And Zarqa was one of them. Having to trudge an arduous path and go through a great adventure, Zarqa seeks to find the solution to all of their problems, a treasure said to have the power to change all. Pitted against magical traps and the mysteries of the deserts, she finds unexpected company in Ali Baba, the poor kid with the sticky fingers, and his crow Morjana... -------------------------- This is my first original long story here and is also a WSA 2024 Entry.

After Rebirth, I Became The Queen Of Utopia In The Beast World

#BEASTTAMING #BLOODLINE #ADVENTURE Rebirth after death is already a miracle… But rebirth as a rabbit, the prey of both low-rank and high-rank beasts? Now that’s not even luck, that’s punishment. Linda Ein is born again—but in the Beast World—as a tiny, fluffy, high-value snack in a world full of predators. She discovers that the beastmen here suffer from a strange disorder that makes them shift uncontrollably between human and beast depending on their emotions, instincts, stress, or even random habits. They have no idea why this happens. But they assume it’s because their world lacks females, and that various mates for each of them will magically “fix” everything. Unfortunately for Linda and fortunately for them, Linda—now a rabbit—is the rarest female they’ve ever seen.  But Linda had one advantage no other creature had: in her previous life, she came from a family of generational zoologists, people who studied animals and passed it down to their offsprings the way other families passed down carpentry or smithing. She knew animal behavior, instincts, patterns, tricks. And this Beast World was simply… a very large, very chaotic research site. So when the beastmen begged her to stay, she lifted her rabbit ears and declared: “Perfection begins with giving me my own house.” “Done!”
“I need a store too. Beside it.” “Done!” “And… a generous supply of carrots delivered regularly. Two trucks a week isn’t bad.” “…..Done!” “Also, someone please tell that 1000-year-old flying snake to stop circling my roof.” “…” Suddenly, beastmen of all tribes are lining up, begging her…. “Queen Rabbit, please stay with me so I can stabilize!” “Me too!” “I want your presence too!” “Queen Rabbit, choose me!” Linda raises a paw. “Enough. I hear you. But this Queen Rabbit is a STEPMOTHER now so,….”

Little Snake Demon Stop Defying Heaven!

She was once the most feared little snake demon of the immortal realm, a walking disaster blessed with talent, brains, and zero patience. Unfortunately, Heaven had opinions. So what did they do? They yeeted her straight into a weak human body with a burnt face, a destroyed core, and a whole family tree full of idiots plotting to steal her city… and her life. Bai Lingling opened her eyes as Yun Qingqing, the bullied “trash” young miss that everyone thought they could step on. Her scumbag fiancé? Already treating her like moldy rice. Her “loving uncle”? Waiting like a fox to steal her authority. A princess pretending to be a maid? Standing there acting pitiful while eyeing her fiancé like a trophy. Haha. Cute. Want to bully her? Want to steal her Phoenix Vein Fragment? Want her to “share” a husband with a princess-maid? Dream on. She may look weak. She may look harmless. She may look like she can’t even win a fight with a chicken. But inside? Inside is the little snake demon who used to terrify entire realms. Her core is damaged, her face is ruined, her power is sealed, and her patience is gone. Heaven wanted to punish her. Fine. But now she’s angry. And an angry snake demon is a problem even gods don’t like to touch. But just when she thinks she’ll have to claw her way through everything alone… A certain “little beast” she rescued turns out to be very much not a little beast. Mo Lingxu. Cold. Dangerous. Shameless. A demon king hiding in a cute fluffy disguise… now following her around like she’s his entire destiny. He says he wants to “repay her kindness.” He says he will “protect her.” He says fate brought them together. …But his golden eyes say something much more dangerous. Bai Lingling only wanted revenge, her city back, and her pretty face restored. Instead she got a fiancé she hates, a princess she wants to throw in a well… …And a demon who keeps looking at her like he wants her soul, her heart, and maybe her bed too. Submit to her and prosper. Oppose her and perish. Because this ugly little weakling? She’s about to turn the entire world upside down. Mo Lingxu: “Little snake… you kissed me first. Are you going to take responsibility?” Bai Lingling: Humph, shameless!

I swore I was just helping raise our daughter

They were never lovers. Never promised each other anything beyond the shared responsibility of raising the most powerful, chaotic child the realms had ever seen. Lara, the infamous ex-commander with fire in her veins and mischief in her smile, walked away from war, titles, and politics—only to find herself tangled in a life she never expected. A life where she’s not the hero, not the villain, just the co-parent to a half-demon, half-Celestial whirlwind named Aliyah… and tethered, every single day, to the woman who both grounds her and keeps her at a distance. Sarisa, heir to the Celestial throne, is everything Lara is not—elegant, disciplined, devoted to duty. Once playful and soft, Sarisa has reshaped herself into something unshakable, a future queen too burdened to risk vulnerability. Especially when the court whispers that her daughter is an abomination. Especially when her mother has chosen a future and a spouse that doesn’t include Lara. They said they could raise Aliyah together. That it would be simple. No feelings. No future. Just two women bound by responsibility. But Aliyah is growing. Watching. Asking questions no child should ask with such clarity. And Lara is running out of ways to lie to herself. Because somewhere between sword lessons and bedtime stories, between stolen glances and unsaid words, Lara might have done the one thing she swore she wouldn’t. She might have fallen in love with the woman who was never meant to be hers. And Sarisa? She might already be breaking under the weight of pretending she doesn’t feel the same.

The Adventures of an Overpowered Knight in Another World

⟦Mature Content⟧ Tutorial ends, no guidebook, no save points. Permanent Quest- Defeat the Demon Lord + Forces of Darkness. Difficulty- SSS+ Tries left- 1 So yeah, it all started with a divine screw up. One god gave the wrong blessing, and now, well, he’s been reincarnated with cheat stats that would make even the Demon King uninstall life. Strength [Divine], Agility [Divine], Mana [Divine], Endurance [Divine]. Basically, if power scaling were a thing, he’s the reason it broke. Armed with god-tier skills, legendary charm, and enough swagger to cause mass moral crisis, he sets out to save the world. There’s just one teeny, tiny problem, though. Someone in heaven added a bugged skill: [Endless Ardor]. Now, every time he walks into a room, hearts race, heroes blush, and villains suddenly want to “negotiate.” Dimension breaking fights, apocalyptic disasters, monster armies, cursed kingdoms. Amidst all the chaos, he somehow unlocks the Commander of one of the Great Orders status. A legion of elite knights, legendary equipment, all following his command. It was supposed to be the cliché “hero defeats demon lord” genre. Instead, it’s the Overpowered Edition of the messy, sexy, bloody “hero defeats demon lord” gone wrong!! Because when the gods mess up your reincarnation, you don’t get a redemption arc… You get a full-blown rom-com apocalypse. Press Start. The world’s not ready- and neither is he. ---- Find me on Discord in the morning- https://discord.gg/WewafXQM24
