Ryoku Nagami was one of many young children trying to grow up on the oppressive Iron Pier. One fateful day Ryoku loses a stick fight against an older boy who was trying to prove something. An onlooker,  the mysterious Magician, sees the fight and is impressed with Ryoku's fighting. He offers to take Ryoku with him and promises him a future of significance if he chooses to do so. The Magician has a plan. A storm is coming. Sometimes the best way through the storm is to steer directly into it. 

This story is based on prompt 82 from the ONC2021 contest. 
- Age and wisdom are certainly not mutually exclusive, but when a case of mistaken identity results in a teen taking charge of a small nation, who knows what might happen!

I plan to make a small twist the the prompt in that the Ryoku assumes the identity and physical appearance of one of the tribal princes. This leads his people to "mistake" him for the actual prince  which is all part of the Magician's plot.

This is the first story I've ever written so I welcome any and all feedback. I prefer to post updates in groups so I can do some light editing before posting. Even if there is some time without an update, I am committed to finishing the 20,000 word contest. Hope you enjoy!All Rights Reserved

NEMO: Into The Depths by Karmanya_KOW

"After you achieved your revenge, after that brief moment of ecstasy at finally doing it, killing the person who caused you so much harm, you felt empty inside. It's as if all the actions you took, all the sacrifices you made, all the people you cut off, in the end they were all meaningless. Some forms of revenge help you grow into someone new, be it better or worse. But revenge like ours, they just make us feel like everything would be better without us." "And?" "And I don't want anyone to give into that hopelessness, that emotion is exclusively for me." A lone journey through life, scarred by the actions taken in the past, guided by the promise to ensure it happens to no other in the world. Nemo was not a hero, nor did he try to masquerade as one, but when one's aim is to hurt the ones that exploit others and aid those who need it, some may mistake him as one, and who is he to argue. On a regular day, around dusk, the assassin is tasked to break into a castle. It was supposed to be a simple payday for Nemo, but a strange encounter with another, slighted by the world, hell-bent on revenge, the circumstance too familiar for him to ignore. How do two scorned by the fates help each other to become complete as they fight against the malice everpresent in the world? (Updated Every 2 Weeks)

NAINA ||ONC 2021|| by Anon_Star

Naina, a crazy girl, exiled from her hometown, accused of practicing black magic that took her parent's life. Her unique ability, unknown to the world. It burnt down along with her parent's body. Her name itself held deep meaning. Too many secrets she stored inside her, regretting every time why she did not heed her parent's warning. He was a scar, a scar cursed by the unknowns. Hidden in the deepest darkest forest of Azerbaijan, a dense forest, only to appear out of hiding after the sunset mingling with humans in his human form. Not even a single mortal could stand his original form. A monster who could turn anybody into ashes by a mere click of his fingers. Fate played a disastrous yet remarkable game with them both. Bringing them together as the one had the restorative of freedom of the other. ********* ONC 2021 Entry using Prompt No. 56 as the main theme and prompt 22 and 50 as its substitutes. Prompt 56: "You can see the future by looking into people's eyes. However, if you tell them about it, it will not come to fruition. One day, you lock eyes with yourself in the mirror." Prompt 50: "From Dusk till Dawn, you're human. During daylight hours, you are a creature straight out of even the most hardened individual's worst nightmare." Prompt 22: On occasion, an accusation of witchcraft has the power to set one on a wonderful, dangerous path.

By her. But a secret lurked within her family. A family ancestry she knew nothing about and powers she was born with would soon surface, bringing with it a kind of chaos she never imagined. The new guy in her school wasn't like anyone she had ever known. His presence sparked things in Belicia she'd had yet to experience. Like turmoil. And confusion. And, telepathy? Thankfully, she had her best friend Ava Avila to confide in.
