The Dragon and the Djinn

You possess a djinn trapped within a bottle. Will you demand vengeance upon the dragon, or seek its redemption?

A wish-granting djinn rests in your hands. What destiny will you forge? Hunt the mighty dragon, overthrow the reigning emir, or risk liberation—freeing the djinn and embracing the unforeseen repercussions?

"The Dragon and the Djinn" is a 710,000-word interactive Arabian fantasy epic by Athar Fikry, where your decisions shape the narrative. This text-driven adventure—devoid of visuals or sound effects—relies solely on the boundless potential of your imagination.

The grand city of Ghariba lives in fear of a relentless dragon—the very beast that claimed the life of its former emira. Now, Emir Alaaeldin rules amidst opulent feasts for nobles, while unrest simmers among the populace. Meanwhile, the dragon’s assaults grow ever more devastating.

Your quest leads you to Ghariba in pursuit of your sister, who stole the enchanted blade you forged—believing it her fate to slay the dragon.

Yet fate intervenes abruptly. Jaafar, the Grand Vizier, bestows upon you an unparalleled gift—and peril: a djinn bound to fulfill your deepest desires. (Wish recklessly, and you may discover how your djinn twists generosity into ruin.)

With this power, factions across Ghariba vie for your allegiance. Navigate palace intrigue, city politics, and global conflicts through diplomacy, sorcery, steel, or cunning.

How will you wield your wishes? Will you aid your sister’s crusade, challenge the dragon alone, heed those who revere it, or unravel the mystery of its rise? Or will you exploit the chaos to claim Ghariba’s throne—or its treasury?

• Choose from diverse identities: male, female, nonbinary; gay, straight, bisexual; cisgender, transgender; aromantic, asexual—with nuanced asexual representation.

• Soar across desert skies aboard a magical carpet.

• Command your djinn for knowledge or riches—or free it to uncover greater marvels.

• Slay the dragon—or spare it, aiding its speech to reveal hidden truths.

• Fulfill your destiny as archmage, silver-tongued bard, kingdom’s shield—or something beyond prophecy.

• Bolster Emir Alaaeldin’s rule or conspire against him—perhaps seizing power yourself.

• Romance awaits: a dragon-hunting warrior, honey-voiced poet, visionary seer, ascendant priestess, gilded aristocrat—or perhaps even your djinn.

Remember—wishes are perilous treasures…
