This tale sweeps you up and drops you back 3500 years into the past, straight onto the banks of the Nile, at the dawn of the Egyptian New Kingdom. The Empire has only been liberated from a hundred year old occupation. The scars left by the war are still healing and yet, threats loom on the horizon again. Some powerful artifacts have been stolen and the king entrusts you with their recovery. Suddenly finding yourself out of your depth and all out of options, you have no choice but to agree to the dangerous mission. You don't know what awaits you on this journey but you know one thing for sure: if you don't catch the enemies of the empire, you will risk more than your own life.
Take your fate into your own hands, solve mysteries, meet new friends, fall in love, learn about magic, monsters, spirits, gods, and have fun in the ancient Egyptian Kingdom in this historical fantasy novel.
The story is a work of fiction and is not historically accurate.

Play as male, female or non-binary; gay, straight or bi.
Build friendships, rivalries, or find love with a young prince, a mysterious spymaster, a brooding spirit, an elite warrior… or even the pharaoh himself.
Explore Egypt through a series of adventures with a ragtag team of characters
Solve mysteries, climb the Great Pyramid of Giza, deal with the sparks of revolution, and help secure the kingdom's future
Warnings: The story will contain heavy and dark themes, excessive swearing, mental health problems, and optional sexual content, so it is recommended for mature audiences only. The whole list of triggering content can be found in the beginning of the demo.
Narmer - A kind and patient man with a golden heart, a fierce sense of duty, a bloody past, and way too little free time.
Qenna (m/f) - The living enigma. Fun and casual at first glance, but why is everyone warning you against spending time with them?
Zaia (m/f) - Spends most of their time brooding or hiding from people, but they can be surprisingly cheeky with those they feel comfortable with.
Tabiry - A dependable and loyal woman, she is the type of person you could trust to have your back in any situation.
Ahmose (m/f) - Young and impressionable, with a dazzling smile and too much hope for a better future.

every day I beg people to learn how to read and analyze the text they're reading. pls the booktok pandemic cannot go over into the IF fandom too. please read and analyze and get excited instead of being annoying and irresponsible. DO NOT BE THE REASON AN AUTHOR LOSES LOVE FOR THEIR PROJECT OR FEELS TOO PRESSURED! especially if you're getting this craft for FREE.
I say this as someone who writes too.
don't tell the authors what to do. if you think you could do better than sit down and write yourself if you've got a stick up your ass like that.
let authors tell the story THEY want to tell, we're all passenger on their ships and you better have RESPECT for their storytelling and their craft. don't tell them to tone something down, don't tell them how to write their characters, don't fuck with their narrative. they have a PLAN and many IF writers already have a whole story outlined.
authors don't owe you answers to all questions, especially if it concerns the future plot developments. create theories but don't push them on authors.
SUPPORT authors, SEND POSITIVE WORDS, COMMENTS, CREATE FAN CONTENT PRAISING THE WORK!!!
be nice, just be fucking nice. many creators of IFs work a DAY JOB!!! they don't write 24/7 and you should respect their time/their life.
send authors support, always. don't rush them, don't trash them, don't be dipshits.
this behavior is something I see extensively in several IFs I read and I don't read a lot tbh. but this has to be said.
edit: someone believed that this post asks for no constructive criticism, but constructive criticism vs being a dipshit are two different things. constructive criticism is helpful, esp when asked. so please proceed to this post additionally to understand that flattery is NOT equal support, and being an asshole and bash authors is NOT constructive criticism. please learn to understand the difference.

THEY SO SILLY AND LOVELY
Why you were selected, you could only guess. What the sisters saw in you you’ll never know, but they saw something.
Perhaps, it was your sullen disposition, or your observant eyes. Regardless of that reason, whatever it may be, from a young age you began training to become a child of mercy.
An Assassin.
The Assassin of Mercy is an interactive, 18+, romantic thriller novel by Lane. S. Snow. It is entirely text based, without graphics or sound effects, and fuelled by the power of your own imagination.
Face the world on your own for the first time as a hired assassin. After years of training, you have received your first contract, to kill the usurper king. Make your way across the continent towards the capital with unconventional companions, build relationships, battle foes and even find love while trying to accomplish your mission. Will you fulfil the terms of your contract or fall short in your paid search for justice?
Why were you chosen to be an assassin? Why did you succeed in your training while others failed? Is this all you are destined for?
Will the questions that keep you up at night be answered on your journey?
. Play as male, female, nonbinary or trans – with options to be gay, straight, bi or asexual.
. Develop relationships with 5 potential love interests.
. Choose your signature style of killing – sword, dagger, strength, bow and arrow or poison.
. Influence the world around you and beyond with your choices.
. Experience how your personality, skills and relationships affect the outcome of your mission.
. Discover the political and personal reasons that lead to the previous King’s death, and the subsequent usurping of his heir.
. Fight, lie, manipulate, spy and most importantly kill your way towards success.
. Fall in love, forge friendships, and fulfil your contract on a mission you’ve spent years training for!
Love Lane, x.

I mean, you could tell A you loved them in Book Three so being able to do so (either for first time or reiteration of it) seems like 👍

More context pls shadow.
GUYYYYSSSS😭😭😭 Today at my weekend job, one of the kids came in with all her Sonic plushies so I told her my favourite characters were Shadow and Amy,
and then she said "Shadow and Amy make a good pair because black and pink are a good combo"
I was just like "Yes, I agree" but in my head i was like YES OMG!!😭😭LIKE?!? The children get it!!
Everytime a Sonic fan, non Sonic fan or even a sonamy/shadamy/blazamy/sonadow fan refers to Amy as a "stalker" or says she had a "stalker behaviour" a fairy dies 🧚
they're in polymarous relationship, im the witness. I can tell.
being a multishipper is so funny bc i'll make a horrifically long post defending sonadow and then i spend 10 minutes reblogging shadamy
every single amy ship gets like 1000% better once you realise that the initial crush on sonic is like. her gateway into edgy losers. her entry into the I Can Fix Them subgenre.
cause sonic himself is not particurly edgy but he is like The Rebel Bad Boy who has Attitude and Spunk and hes frequently Rude To People In Authority. sonic is very much nelson muntz levels of edgy. his levels of darkness and evil bottom out at "one time i got angry and yelled at a bird and it horrified me to my very core".
but then amy meets shadow who is going through The Horrors and its like. ooooh this is a new flavour this is a new spice hi whats your deal? and metal sonic is just grooving with the whole "being crushed beneath the existential weight of my existence" vibe and thats just catnip to amy. and then blaze is just Tragically Distant and Morose and oh wow thats cute hey girl what you doing tonight? and then SURGE is just like. ten billion red flags and a flashing neon sign going YOU CANT FIX HER only for amy to take that as a challenge
and in the background sonic is just like. "ames theres like. you do know there are people out there who Arent Insane right."
I saw this Sonic Frontiers screenshot with the Shadow mod interacting with Amy, and you KNOW I HAD TO!!!!
I was listening to no other heart by mac de marco on a loop while drawing this, that's the vibe of this piece ;')
We love pink shadow bootleg bag
