The Flame's Desire

MUHACHE_JUMA
Witnessing the murder of her mother was the tip of the scale that reshaped her life. From the beloved princess of her kingdom, she became a victim of bullying by every person who came her way. Growing up with vengeance as a fuel was exhausting, but she made it.  They envied her beauty despite the runes that obscured her features to reduce the impact. It didn't help that she was tormented even in her dreams. By day, she was a slave to every whim of her family. By night, she was tortured into engaging in hardcore training. Was she genuinely helpless and weak? Her patience is tested when she is thrust into an arranged marriage with the enemy’s son. *** “Can’t you give us a chance? I want to love you and protect you.”  She stared into the eyes that showed vulnerability for the first time. It should have made her happy, but she managed to make him fall for her. Why then was her heart aching terribly?  Why couldn't she use his love to complete her plan for revenge? She looked away, afraid to show weaknesses of her own. “ I never wanted to get married to start with. I just want my freedom. Let's part on good terms. We can just say that the great Pride of Almaas was dissatisfied with this princess. That way, no one will blame you.” She bit down on her tongue, afraid that she would slip up and show her true feelings. To her surprise, she felt strong hands holding onto her waist from behind.  “Do you think it's that easy to leave this marriage? In this lifetime,  you shall be mine and nobody else's.  So, darling, be prepared. This prince shall remain your husband even in death.” The gentle tone he initially used was now replaced with a possessive edge. Her heart hammered away in her chest. She was doomed in more ways than one. It wasn't just her heart beating in rhyme with his. Her flames desired him. Should she give in to her flame's desires? [ jinn + witches + magic + humans ]

MYTH ZERO

Before the first god drew breath, before the first myth was told — there was only the Void. And the Void was afraid. Kael Voss is nobody. A man without legend, without lineage, without purpose — until the day a rift tears open in the middle of his city and something ancient steps through, hunting for a power he doesn't know he carries. Buried within his soul is the First Spark — the primordial energy that existed before creation itself, the very force that caused the Void to fracture into ten divine civilizations, each one a different answer to the same primal fear: What are we? And why do we exist? Now those civilizations are dying. One by one, the Ten Strata of Existence are collapsing, and the gods of Egypt, Greece, Mesopotamia, the Norse realms, the Hindu cosmos, the Chinese heavens, ancient Persia, the Mesoamerican skies, and the Canaanite depths are either falling into madness — or being consumed entirely. Something nameless is moving through the foundations of reality, something that was never born and never created, something that simply refused to end. Kael is pulled across the strata, forging impossible alliances with gods who despise each other, absorbing the essence of mythologies that should never coexist, and slowly becoming something that has no name in any sacred text. He is not a hero chosen by fate. He is not a demigod blessed by lineage. He is the only being in existence who carries the one thing every god, every monster, and every dying civilization needs — and the one thing that the nameless force must destroy before all of reality can be unmade. But the deeper Kael travels, the more a terrifying question takes shape: the nameless enemy at the heart of the Void is not evil. It is not malicious. It is afraid — the same fear that built every myth, every pantheon, every god in the first place. And if Kael destroys it, he destroys the reason every civilization ever reached for the divine. If he saves it, he becomes something far more dangerous than any god that ever lived. MYTH ZERO is an epic cross-mythological fantasy spanning ten divine realms, a thousand years of forgotten cosmic history, and one man standing at the exact point where every story humanity has ever told begins — and ends.
