Will he get his revenge, or will he die, and life will stay the same as he rots in his grave?Complete
Eye of Saffiyah |✔️
In a world leeched of magic, the Hunters run rampant, killing whomever they meet to obtain the Eye of Saffiyah. The quest for the world's most coveted jewel leaves a trail of destruction, and without the desert Assassins to protect the Eye, hope seems to be lost. When a nameless man of the desert claims the Eye for himself, it sparks a journey that would take him to a war-torn kingdom - and possibly the only person left alive that cares for him. © 2019 JadeFoliage, All Rights Reserved All rights reserved.

As long as the barrier held, the world was allowed to forget about the shadowbeasts of legend. Until now. Gale, a young mage-in-training aching to prove herself, is sent on a simple job to handle the purported animal attacks the desert people seem unable to fend off any longer. Believing the tales of shadowbeasts to be superstitious fancy, she expects to encounter nothing more than mirages and whispers on the wind. What she finds is hatred given form and vengeance given flesh, waiting for the moment to strike. The barrier is weakened, wavering, and an ancient enemy is gathering its strength to break free of its eternal prison. Gale must find a way to restore the barrier, or else die in a war millennia in the making.Complete

Sands of Destiny
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.
The Exit
In the scorching desert, a young boy slowly opened his eyes, groggily taking in his surroundings. He was met with a sea of unfamiliar faces - teenagers, all around his age, scattered across the endless dunes. The blistering sun beat down on them, relentless in its ferocity. As the boy struggled to sit up, he noticed the mix of fear, desperation, and determination etched on the faces around him. Some were huddled in small groups, whispering among themselves, while others wandered aimlessly, searching for something - anything - that could help them survive. The boy's memories were hazy, but one thing was certain: they were trapped. There was no sign of civilization in sight, just an endless expanse of sand and rock. No buildings, no roads, no rescue in sight. Panic began to set in as the boy scrambled to his feet, joining the throngs of teenagers searching for answers. How did they get here? Why were they trapped? And, most pressing of all, how would they survive in this desolate wasteland? As the boy joined the desperate search for survival, he realized that he was not alone in his quest for answers. Together, they would have to rely on each other, trust each other, and fight to stay alive in a harsh environment that seemed determined to kill them.Complete![Devil's Masquerade [ONGOING]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/80519113-256-k871827.jpg)
