The North Sea Beast
"I'll tell you something about myself- I never mince words. Nature is a beast, Henry. We were not created to live in peace within it. Be grateful for those who let you down; pain is the only truth that endures." The sea wind howls a bitter truth across the North Sea coast: betrayal, not love, is the world's only constant. This is not a tale of heroes and villains, but a brutal exploration of the human soul-a mirror reflecting the savage beauty and terrifying depths we all possess. The guilt-ridden, the desperate, and the cunning are all players in a high-stakes legacy that demands a price from every generation. Beneath the veneer of civilized society, a clandestine order pulls the strings, their influence woven into the very fabric of existence. Secrets fester within an ancient bloodline, grasping like tendrils into the present day. Honour clashes with avarice. Integrity squares off against ruthless force. Cunning faces brutality. Who will rise, and who will be consumed by the abyss? Rumors whisper of a slumbering entity, a primal force stirring beneath the surface. Will it awaken and claim its due, or will it remain dormant, a threat forever lurking in the shadows? Prepare to be swept away in an epic saga where the fate of many hangs by a thread, and the true nature of the beast is far more complex than it seems. --- Content Warning: Features an unapologetically cynical and eccentric voice, including scenes of violence, offensive language, and moral ambiguity.

Nightwalker | ONC 2025
It has been a week since the old mausoleum at the Nethermly Cemetery collapsed without warning. This week has been full of unexplained deaths and strange sightings. Like every resident of Nethermly, Reverie Ashford had locked herself safely in her house. She planned to enjoy some peace and quiet until the town returned to normal. But of course, the universe seems to hate her: The first newcomer the town has had in centuries had to come knocking at her door. Draven did not want to ask for her help. But his people had been massacred, and if the remaining few didn't act fast, the same would happen to the oblivious residents of Nethermly. He did not want to dig up his past, nor did he want to drag an unwilling girl into this. But they needed every help they could get, and they were running out of time. If they failed, Nethermly would be erased from the map. Prompt 86: Nobody new has come to your hidden town in centuries - until now. Someone appears on your doorstep, claiming they're here to find you. But how do they know your name? Prompt 103: After a catastrophic accident affects an entire town, the residents begin experiencing strange and inexplicable symptoms. |ONC 2025 LONGLISTER & ROUND 2 AMBASSADOR'S PICK||1X FEATURED| Rose Gold Awards 2025: Best First Line 4th place Rose Gold Awards 2025: Paranormal 5th placeComplete
