You find yourself in possession of a powerful djinn, trapped within a bottle. The weight of your decision looms large—who will you choose to be in this unfolding tale? Will you use your wish to end the dragon’s reign of terror, or will you seek to understand and protect it?
With the djinn at your command, you hold limitless potential. Will you wield your wishes to slay the dragon that plagues Ghariba? Or perhaps, you’ll turn your power against the emir himself, reshaping the city's future with a single word? Alternatively, you might choose the path less traveled—freeing the djinn and braving whatever consequences follow.

“The Dragon and the Djinn” is a sprawling 710,000-word interactive fantasy epic written by Athar Fikry. This immersive text-based adventure places every decision in your hands, offering a deeply personalized experience without graphics or sound effects—only the boundless reach of your imagination.
A fearsome dragon ravages the majestic city of Ghariba, the same beast that ended the life of the beloved Emira. Now, Emir Alaaeldin rules in her place, hosting extravagant parties for the nobility while unrest brews beneath the surface—and the dragon’s attacks grow ever more devastating.
You arrive in Ghariba chasing your missing sister, who fled with the enchanted sword you forged, claiming it was her destiny to slay the dragon. But fate has other plans for you. Jaafar, the Grand Wazir, bestows upon you an unexpected gift—the most valuable and perilous treasure of all: a djinn willing to grant your every wish. You may wish endlessly, but beware: one careless phrase may twist your fortune into doom.
Now, every faction in the city seeks your allegiance. Use your words, strength, magic, and cunning to navigate the shifting tides of palace intrigue, urban rebellion, and global upheaval.
What will your wishes bring? Will you aid your sister and shield Ghariba from the dragon? Will you take on the beast alone? Or will you heed those who believe the dragon is not a monster, but a guardian? Can you uncover the truth behind its sudden appearance? Or will you exploit the chaos to become the wealthiest person in Ghariba?
