After Drew Ellis' mother died, he was left grieving and broken. With nowhere else to go, he enlisted in Antelae's army. His squad mates - his battle-forged family - helped him piece himself back together. However, when his legion is attacked by rebels while on assignment and his squad mates are killed in a blast, Drew is left alone once more. Finding it easier to assume the role of a soldier, Drew becomes a member of the castle guard and is dispatched on an assignment of utmost importance to Gerad of Anemoia.
As the depth of Gerad's ambition becomes clear and as rebel backlash against Gerad's tyranny grows, Drew must decide who he wants to be: a hero? Or a villain.

Prompt #1: "You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain." - from The Dark Knight

Petals Fall Once, Never Twice | ONC24
Round1✔ Round2✔ ---------------- This is based on/inspired by a true story. On a very beautiful and warm day, Tara found herself hitting rock bottom. Five monsters shattered her life, stole her dreams, and tainted her inside out. Alone in her despair, she was consumed by disappointment and betrayal, and then left a sprawled mess of living organs and a broken spirit. Yet, she refused to stay on the ground. Tara picked herself up and faced life head-on, no matter how much her very being struggled to keep going. This is the story of Tara who fell, dusted off her knees, stood up, and refused to fall once again. Instead, she was bringing everyone else down. Tara will become as monstrous as she must and her blazing fury will feel worse than hell itself. A victim? No, they'd created a monster. ------------------ Warning: strong language, mature scenes/themes, nonconsent, violence, blood, death, and one satisfying revenge. + If you are reading this on any site other than Wattpad then it is being unlawfully shared.

Virulent
[ONC 2023 SECOND PLACE WINNER | AMBASSADORS PICK 2023] An unwilling but gifted geneticist must find a way to safeguard humanity against the deadly pathogen she's forced to design or die trying. *** The planet's population is pushing past 11 billion and counting. With resources spread thin, widespread famine, and health systems crippled everywhere, the governments of the world are running out of ideas. Then a scientist proposes a controversial solution and the classified Project Rescue is born. But when the lead scientist on the project and his entire team mysteriously die, his young microbiology prodigy is brought into the secret government agency to take over where he left off. Ezra Mayur always hoped that her brilliance in pathogen studies would land her a secure job one day. This seems like a dream come true. Full food rations and safety for her struggling family, and a job in the field she is the most interested in. But the project is not quite what Ezra expected and her moral compass is tested when she has to choose between protecting her family or the world. *** PROMPTS that will make an appearance: 12. An evil sorcerer offers you an immense amount of power--but it comes with a price. (Modified: an evil corp offers you an opportunity of a lifetime, but it comes with a price.) 5. Flip the coin and make a life choice with it. Two choices, one coin, and no turning back. Do you dare?
