Building a Kingdom as a Kobold

KaraCabage
I was just your average burnout. Now I’m a kobold in a dungeon where everything wants to eat me—and frankly, I get it. I look delicious. Reincarnated as the weakest possible monster in the worst possible place, I start with nothing but panic, backward knees, and a skill called Civilization Mimicry—which is sealed. Because of course it is. But survival isn't the story. This is the story of what comes after. Of finding meaning in the scraps. Of building law from ashes. Of kindling memory in a place designed to erase. Because even if the world sees kobolds as nothing, I’ve seen what we used to be. And I’m going to bring it back. Firelight by firelight. Burial by burial. One fragile tradition at a time. Because if the world wants kobolds to be nothing? Then I’ll teach it what nothing becomes when it learns to dream.

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.
