ONC 2025 SHORTLIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here is my ONC 2025 entry. I've made it to the long list a handful of times and the short list once! Maybe this year will be the year? I chose # 69 - Corporations dominate the world, stifling creativity with the force of the sterile police to eliminate any threat of unauthorized competition. It gives plenty of room for creativity - here we go!

Something is creeping through the systems, and a dark shadow has befallen cyberspace. After Red rescued Ember from the clutches of her father, and almost died in the process, he is recuperating on New Elysium. Their moment of respite is brief, as a series of mysterious glitches soon spread throughout the systems of the colony, and a bounty is set on Ember's head for betraying her Neo-Tokyan heritage. An unexpected reunion with a former friend turned enemy leaves Nova injured and grounded on New Elysium as well. As Amy embarks on a mad off-world quest to find a rare piece of hardware needed to save him, dragging Red along with her, Nova and Ember are left to deal with the fallout from the resurrection of an evil that several years ago, led to the Purge of all augments.

It's seven past five, and it's been just like any other Thursday. Amongst the busy roads and well traveled sidewalks, the office workers make their mass exodus from the 'dungeons that haunt their dreams'- and onto these packed city streets. While most get to enjoy their allotted freedom, not all 9-to-5'ers receive the same luxury. Those poor, and pathetic, few are kept late in order to cover someone's ass, albeit their own or anothers. Yet, that's not always the case. There is always one or two that wait for the rush to finish, that are lackadaisical in their speed and unconcerned with their time at the end of the day. There is always a straggler. In this experimental LN series, you, the reader, are as much of an active participant as the characters there within. Have fun unraveling it's mysteries and many details! In this Slice-of-Life Mystery, mundanity is rarely ever an isolated occurrence. The spectacular come at a cost. And, everything else in-between, blends into anew. But, who are you? Welcome to Duality;Solaris/Dual;Sol. (2/7/23, 5/25/23) #1 in Offbeat!

Randall Cashe, a mechanical and electrical engineer, joins a team of scientists in a Mars-mission habitat hoping to rake in a massive payday. Their goal: to produce their own air, water, and food while testing the building with simulated disasters. When the outside world succumbs to a lethal airborne pandemic, the hermetically-sealed structure is suddenly the safest place on earth. As tensions among the group of scientists rise, Cashe has every intention to not only survive, but thrive. After all, why would he let a world-wide apocalypse and a few murders prevent him from making a profit? The parts I publish initially will be 90% where I want them to be. Feel free to criticize anything.

"History is a survivor's tale. It knows no villains. Only failures." A decade ago, Leudora had her major enemies eliminated - the scientist known as the Dalmatian Serpent, and his followers, who sought her people's blood. A ruthless guardian of her kin and an unscrupulous politician, Leudora lived with her guilty conscience for as long as the invisible barrier that shields civilization from madness remained intact. But it is no longer so. When the Veil starts to fade, slowly poisoning the air and endangering those whom she once sought to protect, Leudora wants answers. She does not expect it when the answers confirm the Dalmatian Serpent's theories: Leudora's own people, conducting bloody experiments to protect themselves from their powerful neighbors, are causing the Veil's degradation. If this gets out, not only the guilty, but all her people will be blamed. Trying to prevent a war and stop the Veil's decay, Leudora turns to her enemy's research. The deeper she delves into the Dalmatian Serpent's secrets, the more Leudora finds herself drawn to his fascinating mind and dark science. If she follows in his footsteps, all her kin will turn against her. If Leudora stays loyal to her people, she will have to side with those who may bring them all to the verge of extinction. ------------------- Welcome to the first version of my work that I published on Wattpad. The Story of the Basilisk and the Serpent is complete. However, the great game will continue in "The Noblest Shroud", the second part of the trilogy. Trigger Warnings: questionable morals, angst, mild gore, occasional violence. That should cover it. If you don't mind these aspects, you will (most likely) enjoy reading my work. The new magnificent cover is created by @lavendareyes, a graphic designer and an author, whose creative work deserves all attention and praise.
