The void was a common scene. It was the dream state one would enter when they die. An endless plane where cries echo in the darkness and the sky was a sea of yellow eyes. They peer down, watching the motionless body. It was a sight that Lillemor had grown used to. As she traveled with her family across the planes, her orders by the father grew more dangerous. Feyador was not her home, but it was familiar. Her father had lead them to this land, and now they move from town to town in search of text from her ancestors. Iver did not like the eyes. He prefer not to see the death. The bodies that piled. As a mage to the royal family, he was ordered to follow the king's son on a new expedition. Iver desired to study. He was sent to find a means of the origin of the void. Those who study the void hope the answer to breaking the curse lies within the origin. With this, Iver left with the orders to finding this answer. Unaware of their similar goals, Iver and Lillemor continue to cross paths.

If you got anyone to describe Jessie Reynolds-Somber in one word, it would be 'lucky.' She survived childhood leukemia (twice), has the best friend-slash-roommate in the world, and she's studying something she loves at the university she's forever adored. But not even November can describe why she feels so incomplete, as though she's forgotten to do something she'll never get a chance to do. Why she feels like she's failed---no, worse, like she's a failure. [FORMERLY AN ENTRY FOR THE 2026 ONC]

Tris McCoy is having an uneventful summer. It's the summer before eleventh grade, and it's the last summer she has before she has to start worrying about driving, and college, and a career.

Until she (literally) stumbles across a stack of old letters from her pen pal, July Souders. July lives in British Columbia---four provinces away---but Tris knows of a camp she used to attend. Unwilling to spend the summer alone and desperate for any change, no matter the size, Tris sets off for summer camp. [FORMERLY AN ENTRY FOR THE 2024 ONC]

Something has been corrupting Obsidians, and Elora is one of the few people who are seeing that. And now that something has killed her mentor and forced her on a journey she never desired to go on. With the help of an enthusiastic alchemical apprentice-to-be, Elora will have to find Arcani and put an end to the corruption that is trying to catch up to her before it's too late.

Valentine never had a lick of magic to his name, but that didn't stop him from becoming high society's darling in the enchanted land of Stellamaris. Until one cunning witch takes it all away... Valentine wakes up five years in the past as a backwater bookseller in Greater Moss-on-the-Wold, stuck in the drab place where he started. Robbed of his status, his looks, and his charmed life, Valentine is determined to find the legendary witch Lilivere and be freed from this horrible curse. Except Lilivere is out of town... and the only witch who can help him now is her taciturn daughter, Luciana. Who doesn't have a single drop of magic. Stoic, brooding Luc couldn't care less about high society, the art of spellcraft, or a sullen has-been cursed to return to his humble past. Outcast and misfit, she lives alone in the woods, preferring solitude to the villagers' scorn. But as they work together to break Valentine's curse and set things right, Luc and Valentine realize there's a greater scheme at play. And that magic, like so many things in life, is never as simple as it seems. Written for the ONC 2026. 39: After being cursed, you go from being the most popular socialite to becoming a nobody. 11: The daughter of the most powerful witch is nothing like her mother. 73. You wake up in a body that isn't yours, living a life almost identical to your own, and soon discover you're bound by an ancient curse forcing you to relive your past until you finally get one thing right. (Slightly modified.)

Usually, after-work suggestions from coworkers mean drinks and karaoke, both of which Opal normally declines in favor of a good nap. Finding herself in a creaky house surrounded by candles and spiderwebs? That should have been her first red flag. The ghost of the house realizes someone can finally see her and suddenly promises are being made to help a sister move on. The sister? A cop with her own vendetta. Opal is dragged into a cold case for a ghost she'd rather not be able to see because apparently, normal life was too much to ask for. Between late nights, dark corners, and dusty old documents Opal finds herself talking to the dead whether she likes it or not. Either they'll find the answers, or they'll be adding to the ghostly population.

Not all corpses are as dead as they seem. Ivy knows she found her ex-boyfriend, Kayson, in a pool of his own blood within Hollowmyre: her uncle's historic village. The issue? No one believes her, because Kayson's body is nowhere to be found. Until he shows up in her bedroom with fangs, a bloodthirsty new appetite, and no memory of his transformation into something less than human. All he knows is it had something to do with Hollowmyre Village, a hotspot destination for vacationing families... and a site where bodies have piled up for weeks. Not all of them have been found. Together, Ivy and Kayson must reluctantly team up to find the creature who turned him before the entire village falls prey. __________ MAIN ONC PROMPT: 90.
