Pon Para II

Anointed by the gods and betrayed by your king, only you can confront the Scorpion.

Anointed by the gods and betrayed by your king, you alone must face the Scorpion!

"Pon Para and the Unconquerable Scorpion" is a 742,000-word interactive fantasy novel by Kyle Marquis, and the sequel to "Pon Para and the Great Southern Labyrinth."

Your choices drive the narrative. It is entirely text-based—without graphics or sound effects—powered by the limitless force of your imagination.

Teijia, the philosopher witch, has unleashed a terrifying new weapon: a scorpion god whose venom corrupts reality itself. As the edges of the world crumble, the nomadic Stormraiders launch one final, desperate offensive to subdue the Three Nations and carve out their own kingdom.

This time, the sign of your god and a handful of allies are not enough: to end this war and save the world, you’ll need an army! Rise as a warlord, crime lord, or divine leader—and journey across oceans and deserts to find a weapon capable of stopping the Unconquerable Scorpion!

Old friends and foes return. Reunite with Melaxu the nymph philosopher and Tamur the Desert Empire spy to forge friendship, rivalry, or romance. But be warned: the Stormraiders Galimar and Gisla are also back. What will your rulers, King Hyras and the Desert Empress, demand of you now?

New allies, new dangers. Recruit Col the satyr general and his young ward Clannath, a crow-woman cursed by the God of Rage. Seize territory across two nations and scheme to protect your followers. But stay vigilant—the ambitions of the dark priests and Heaven’s clerics are ever-present, and they still see you as a heretic and enemy of the gods!

The End of Philosophy? As King Hyras and Lord Vankred prepare for a final confrontation to conclude the Stormraider War, the witch Teijia unveils her ultimate weapon: the Emissary Beast Magdala, the Unconquerable Scorpion, whose venom can unravel the very engines sustaining the World That Remains. What can stop a being designed by the gods to be invincible?
