Rituals, Regrets, and Really Dumb People
You ever have a dream? Everyone has dreams. I mean a dream like wanting to be an astronaut or president or that such. I have a dream like that; I want to take over the world and cast humanity into an eternal darkness, with me as its cruel emperor. I've worked hard to achieve this dream too. I've practiced vile magics. I've honed my alchemy. I've amassed an army of demons, mutants, and cultists. Hell, I even worship a vile god to boot. Do you have that sort of dedication to your dreams? I do. And I'm so close to realizing it fully--well, I was close. I would have achieved it if it wasn't for that priestess and her damnable curse. Now I'm not even sure I'll make it to next week without my legions uprising or some other tyrant trying to usurp me. Oh, sweet Darkness. Please, someone, anyone, help me. **Warning**: Crude language and cartoon violence. **Updated every FridayComplete

Curse Uncurse - ONC 2020 [Completed]
Just like all the other Dragon Heirs of age, Plamen attends The Grand Test of Power so the Gods can judge who of them is worthy of breaking the curse that binds Dragon kind to human bodies. Not many managed to pass the test - you can count them on the fingers of one hand. Even worse, only one person came close to breaking the curse, yet failed. Plamen will do anything to succeed, even unwillingly team up with two other Dragon Heirs. Zima and Vid are interesting companions, though, ones he thinks he doesn't need. The obstacle appearing in front of them is not something anyone could predict but, to their utter bafflement, they pass the Test. However, it comes at a steep price. Because now, they just need to find out how to stay alive. From one corner it's Goddess Nužda's minions attacking them - and not just them, but their friends, families, everyone's at risk - and from another, it's the political machinations of adult dragons that make this endeavor almost impossible. '...what price are you willing to pay?' The ancient prophecy speaks of the three that will be victorious, but it's not complete and the missing parts are ones they need to be wary of.

Yet he was none of the stereotypical natures that would accompany the last of any kind. He was a quiet, kind boy who only wanted one thing, Julie Kale. He has always wanted her to be his, but she was a powerful elemental user who wanted an equally powerful partner. No one knew of Victor's status, not even Julie. She friendzones him, and uses him to ensure she is ready for her multitude of dates. One incident broke the last straw Victor held on to. Competing in the annual magic tournament, he intends to win. Winning means that the most powerful witch alive would grant one single wish. A no limit wish. A wish that will be granted. When he reveals himself through the competition, he gains a new reputation. A reputation the popular could be jealous of. When it is time to claim his wish. The wish chosen, shocks the entire magical community. A wish that needs to be granted. A wish that would forever shift the balance of power. A wish that may or may not be the end of Victor himself. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Highest: #23 in Adventure (12/11/2017) #30 in Adventure (7/11/2017) #44 in Adventure (20/10/2017)Complete
