[ONC 2026 Longlister & Round 3 Ambassador's Pick] Rue Domínguez, a twenty-seven-year-old unemployed woman struggling to cure her boredom and at the same time earn some good amount of cash, learns about an app 'ZombieRush' which on winning, promises to reward with $10.5 million. That seemed too good to be true, but with a competitive streak to beat this almost impossible game, Rue decides to test her fate. After conquering the game, she realises it's only the 1st half of the game, and 2nd half is still waiting out there. Rue won $10,000 on completing the 1st half, winning the rest of $10.5 million after completing the 2nd half---now that seemed not too far. But willing to participate in this game that appeared too easy before would have such a horrific result, that Rue never expected. Being forced into a zombie apocalypse while attending a high school reunion and learning that the apocalypse might just be the next half of ZombieRush, Rue realises she very much is 'cooked.' And now she is officially a player, with no way out. * * * Total Word Count: 21,045

The police found a stack of letters left behind by a hooded figure. But they were not just any letters, they were confessions to a series of killings made a few years back. What exactly happened all those years ago? What fueled the killer, who goes by the name of Amethyst, to do those horrible acts of violence? Who is Amethyst? Why did the letters appear now? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ♡. Story idea by my sister, Purple_Vampir3 ♡.

A new Council. Seven deadly trials. One chance at becoming a god. The Council of Gods are the protectors of the galaxy, bringing peace and prosperity to the planets. As the times change, a new council will step up to take their place on the thrones of Eden. And now, a new changeover has begun. Eleven gods have proven themselves over the centuries and now, one more is left to complete the Council. Gemini isn't the first to compete for the last spot on the Council, but may she be the last? The stakes are high as the looming threat of death hangs over the failure of any of the trails. With her parents stepping down from the old council and her sister on the new one, the expectations are raised, but Gemini isn't afraid. She will do whatever it takes to achieve what she had always dreamed of - to be on the Council and work with the other gods to bring about a better Eden that the world had envisioned, something that the previous Council had promised, but always failed to do. Will she make her family and country proud, or will she die trying, like the many before her? Can she prove herself worthy to become a god? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ♡.
