Sands of Destiny by Tanith0101

In the year 2500, a vast desert world is ruled by the Middle Eastern Empire, a dominion of advanced cities, stark social hierarchies, and unrelenting sands. At the heart of this system lies Karma, a divine power bestowed upon a rare 5% of the population. These abilities bring both extraordinary capabilities and devastating consequences. Those born with Karma are elevated to the highest social castes, while the majority toil beneath them, reliant on technology and raw strength for survival. The story follows Layla Al-Nazir, a hardened mercenary haunted by a troubled past. She wields the crystalline power of Blades of Eternity, a Karma as deadly to her enemies as it is punishing to herself. Layla roams the desert as a lone wolf, eschewing allegiances in a land ruled by oppressive forces like the Empire's Eternals, a group of elite Karma wielders who enforce the imperial will. But the sands of fate begin to shift when whispers of rebellion arise from the Eternal Sand Sect, a mysterious cult capable of challenging the Empire's supremacy. Amidst this chaos, Layla must navigate dangerous alliances, including the idealistic fugitive Kaito Shirogane and the calculating inspector Mei Nakamura, each with their own ties to the powers governing this unforgiving world. In a realm where loyalty is a currency, power is fleeting, and the cost of freedom is steep, Layla must confront her destiny and the truth hidden beneath the shifting sands. Sands of Destiny is a story of resilience, power, and survival in a world where every choice carries the weight of Karma.

Arranged Marriage: The Prince and I by mukoyik

"I will not listen to any more of your insolent behaviour boy. You brought this on yourself. You marked this young woman and now you must take her as yours." In that instant Ziza felt her heart shrivel, die and plummet deep into the bottom of her acidic stomach. Take her as his? Her hand in marriage? Surely the king wouldn't be so cruel that he would give her hand in marriage to his beast of a son. She just lost her job, lost her boyfriend, and was tortured by her half-siblings and their mother. And this was what she got-marrying a ruthless, cold prince who'd slapped her and insulted her?! Would she have even a glimmer of hope in this arranged marriage? ⚠️⚠️THE FULL STORY IS AVAILABLE ON READINK, WEBNOVEL AND ANYSTORIES⚠️⚠️ PS: I'm a romance ghostwriter. For those interested, you can reach me in my DM. I write short stories (5,000 words) for free.

2.1 | Alice ✔ by PhantomBlacke

What does it take to unlock the path of true happiness? For two complete strangers, it's as simple as a wish to escape their sham of a life. But there's a reason you should be careful what you wish for. They'll be put to the ultimate test to determine how far they're willing to go and how hard they're willing to work for the desires of their hearts. ------------------------------------------------------ Zain Lockheart has always been the prime example of "everything that glitters isn't gold". Constantly living as an outcast in the shadow of his parents' fame and riches, he never imagined there'd be more to life than living in a gilded cage. When he meets Saber Blacke at a housewarming, he discovers a kindred spirit in her. She knows all too well what it is to pretend to be content for the sake of image. All it takes is this chance meeting to send them both nosediving into an alternate reality, where a mysterious race of people are suffering the consequences of a rift-inducing war that took place over a century ago. With Saber as his closest companion, Zain quickly transforms from a burden of privilege into the key of salvation for these people and their doomed world. The goal seems simple enough to accomplish: reunite two kingdoms to restore the world to its former glory. But what he isn't counting on is a pair of intruders, watching his every move from the shadows, hellbent on unleashing chaos and destroying this paradise beyond repair forever. Only one thing is certain now: if he ever wants to return home with Saber, they must first survive the harsh trials and unforgiving wilderness of Wonderland.

Flower and Thorn / پھول اور کانٹا by moonlittears21

"I thought I told you to stop telling me what to do." I whispered meekly. "I thought I told you that I wanted you here, with me. I want your happiness. Not your anger." His lips touched my ear when he spoke; I was shaking. "You never said you wanted that." "But that is what I meant." "I don't live in your head, Adam. I can't just figure out what you want." "But you do." The hand that had been on the edge of the skin trailed up the side of my waist and then back down. "I can't fucking focus on anything else. Even now there's only thoughts of you in here. I'm wondering if you'd taste as sweet as you smell." /// When Shireen Naseer stumbles upon a sight not meant for her eyes, the young fashion designer is roped into a mess bigger than she's ever created. Suddenly, she's married to a brooding soldier and living in his home as she awaits the dangers of the outside world to pass. But Adam Zaman is not just an average soldier. He laughs at her stupid jokes, tries to keep her happy, listens when she rants, and is so very patient with her. She's falling hard and fast, but he will not step over the line. Protecting her and her honor is his responsibility, so how can he tarnish it? /// Bro, this belongs to me. Don't post it anywhere else.

To Let Go - Unedited by Trouble_FearMe

Life within the desert's hot, dry heat has been my only home for as long as I can remember. Among a multitude of various other children, we were taken from the States to train as a specially trained soldier within the war-ridden kingdom of Saudi Arabia. My only goal within the compound for as long as I can remember was to win my freedom as an official tier-four Nightingale soldier, that was enough for me. It's simple; keep your head down and avoid the Chambers, then maybe someday you'll be free to do as you please without an escort's threatening presence at your back. So, imagine my gleeful surprise when finally - with my goal just beyond the horizon within reach - I've accomplished the impossible that many other recruits died trying to attain. I'm an official Nightingale. I have a bed to sleep in with three meals a day, and I train with my fellow recruits like usual without the weekly threat of the Ring hanging over my head. It's bliss - until it's not. Suddenly everything changes. Why? Ah, right. It was because of him. Was freedom truly something I wished to achieve? I'm not so sure anymore.
