Pon Para II

Chosen by the gods, betrayed by your king—only you can stop the Scorpion!

In Kyle Marquis's epic 742,000-word interactive fantasy novel, "Pon Para and the Unconquerable Scorpion," the sequel to "Pon Para and the Great Southern Labyrinth," your choices shape the narrative. This text-based adventure, fueled by your imagination, plunges you into a world teetering on the brink of collapse.

Philosopher witch Teijia unleashes a terrifying new weapon: a scorpion-god whose venom threatens to unravel reality itself. As the world fragments, the nomadic Stormraiders launch a desperate final assault on the Three Nations, aiming to establish their own kingdom.

This time, you'll need more than divine favor and a few allies. To end the war and prevent utter annihilation, you must build an army! Rise as a warlord, crime boss, or divine leader, traversing oceans and deserts in search of a weapon capable of defeating the Unconquerable Scorpion.

Familiar faces—both friend and foe—return. Rekindle old friendships, rivalries, or romances with Melaxu, the nymph philosopher, and Tamur, the Desert Empire spy. But beware the return of the Stormraiders Galimar and Gisla, and the unpredictable demands of King Hyras and the Desert Empress.

New heroes and threats emerge. Recruit Col, the satyr general, and his ward Clannath, a crow-woman cursed by the God of Rage. Expand your territory across two nations, carefully maneuvering to protect your followers. However, the ambitions of dark priests—and the priests of Heaven, who still view you as a heretic—pose significant dangers.

The fate of philosophy hangs in the balance. As King Hyras and Lord Vankred clash in a final showdown to conclude the Stormraider War, Teijia unleashes her ultimate weapon: Magdala, the Emissary Beast, the Unconquerable Scorpion, whose venom can destroy the very mechanisms sustaining the World That Remains. Can anything stop this god-forged, unstoppable creature?
