With the appearance of a mysterious eye statue, strange things began to happen in the town of Eden Hill. Rumors spread like a wildfire, with many refusing to help the town for angering the Maker and supposedly worshiping false gods. However, when word reaches the Montgomery Daemonology Department, Charlie and Adan are sent to disprove the claims of people and their daemons being sacrificed to an evil deity.

A Knife's Tale (ONC 2021) by Lizardclaw

*ONC 2021 Shortlist and Ambassador's Pick* For 200 years, Victor Cunningham has lived as a soul trapped within a common kitchen knife after a fortune-teller cursed him. The curse keeps his blade unbreakable and sharp but makes his life unimaginably dull. Sure, there's been brief moments of excitement, but he's spent more time lodged in a block of wood than anything. But, Victor's current owner is a rather unsavory fellow with a dungeon basement. Victor spends his days lying on a wooden bench in the company of bloodied pliers, shears, and scalpels. He never knows the next time he'll have to stab another innocent person. When the killer brings Guinevere Thomas, a young psychic, and chains her into the basement, Victor finally finds someone he can communicate with after all of his miserable years. And all he hopes for is to cheer her up before the killer forces him through her heart. PROMPT #4 You're a weapon, and weapons don't weep. WARNINGS: Violence, gore, depictions of murder, people kept in captivity, torture and maybe a few other things later on. Cover made by me using Canva!

A Story You've Been Told | ON-HOLD by starisredy

UPDATES ON-HOLD UNTIL MAY 2025 ❝𝑾𝒉𝒚 𝒅𝒐𝒆𝒔 𝒎𝒚 𝒆𝒙𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖?❞ Asael didn't want to marry, let alone be forced into it by his parents, with a woman he didn't know. But to avoid any conflict and continue being the good son in their eyes, he gave in and set up a prayer of adoration to ask for God's blessing on his future. Only for the devil to show up unprompted, irritated, and demanding to be returned to hell. But after pressing close together to hide the supernatural from another human, neither of them could deny the spark that flickered between them under the sheets in the dark of Asael's room. Finding himself stuck with potentially ruining everything between him and his family and the temptation to side with the devil, he might just give in to the latter. After all, with him, there was truth and freedom--the freedom to carve his own future, the freedom to carve a story to be told without any underlying fantasy. Or was there? Sometimes, even with the intrusion of the supernatural, destiny finds a way to emerge as the true story. - NO LONGER FOR ONC Used prompts #88 and some more from the @OpenNovellaContest #ONC2024 Read the first part for information about this and other stuff!

Perception (ONC 2021) by keepthywits

Forewarning. This was my first time doing a paranormal kind of story so it is VERY rough around the edges. If you can tolerate a confusing plot that goes somewhere but nowhere at the same time....Well feel free to read. The Face Carver; that was the nickname that the media gave to the lunatic running around the small town of Marington. However, a serial killer is the least of Lauris's problems. When a strange statue of an eye appears on her doorstep, otherworldly, paranormal events start happening around her. Chased by malicious beings, she begins to unravel the mystery of the events and the truth behind the face carver Her perception of reality will change, and assumptions challenged. Perception is in constant flux. Thus, the truth is variable. An entry for the open novella contest 2021. Previously titled 'Madness in 21 Days'

Knave of Heaven and Earth by Fruit_Boy

Imagine a world where mythological creatures exist. From the beings living in the heavens, the supernatural creatures on Earth, to the horrifying demons and beasts in the depths of hell. All of them mingling, what do you will be the result? An abomination. That's what Aitken believes because he is one. Born from a Devil and an Angel, of course, it wasn't pleasant. What? Did you think it is nice? He indeed has power but that's it. Then tell Aitken what is he, a supernatural or an avatar? What kind of monster is he? Join Aitken as he slowly follows his fate, encounters his supposed mate, faces former acquaintances, and uncovers the secret of his life. Love, friendship, bonds, power, mystery, conflict. (A/N: Update schedule is 1-2 chapters per week starting August 2022)

The Dark Warlock: The Nox Haven Series by RowenaBlack

Destiny. It was a funny thing. I had always thought that I could create my own destiny. But after attending my junior year at Nox Haven, I knew that wasn't possible. My destiny was written two hundred years before my birth, when my ancestor- The Dark Warlock- created a cult of Dark Ones. It was my destiny to rid the world of his mistake- but I didn't know how. That was the funny part, I knew what I had to do but I didn't know how. Nobody wrote that part of the prophecy. I would figure it out though, two of my beloved friends were dead because the Dark Ones. I swore on their graves that no one else would follow. **Book Three in the Nox Haven Series**

Heart of Stone by xMishx

To make ends meet now that her husband has died in combat, Patrice accepts the only job going in the small town-backbreaking work picking fruit for the local farmer. When the farmer asks Patrice to move the cows into the lower field, she thinks nothing of it until one cow decides to go on an adventure through the wrong gate. After moving the cow, Patrice notices a glowing gem in the long grass. Patrice decides that it has to be returned to its owner and assumes that the shadowy figure in the distance is that person. Transfixed by the stone and its magical powers, Patrice chases after the mysterious figure, forgetting about the world behind her. The true owner is Jarek, a merciless elf king who has little time for the games that the crystal is playing. Jarek's plans for returning to his world after the battle to save the humans in their global war are thrown into disarray when he realises that the stone will not return to him. Jarek has no choice but to do everything within his power to get it back. Without the crystal, he will die. One small stone will cause chaos for Jarek and Patrice when it binds itself to her and refuses its rightful owner. Determined to get his crystal back, Jarek takes Patrice to his world. He knows that the clerics will have an answer. Neither Jarek nor Patrice will be pleased with what they offer. With time running out, they must do what is necessary to save a king with no heir. © This story is copyrighted.
