And he is the only one who can help Sam solve his murder. - Open Novella Contest 2023 - Prompt 23: "They were not real, everyone told me they were not real. But why are they here?

Five years ago, Cairo Quimby disappeared without a trace. His family has neglected to speak of him since, running the slightly strange but unassuming hotel he grew up in as if nothing ever happened. Until Cairo, a lone wanderer roaming a lost and dangerous world, has a run-in at a diner with mysterious strangers who are after his stepfather ⸻ as it turns out, Richard Quimby has been hiding something, and hiding something valuable. He's broken the viciously enforced code of In-Betweens by whatever his hotel is harboring, and against his better judgment, Cairo's loyalty takes him back. Back to his dreaded childhood home, back to the place to which he swore he'd never return. Cairo's family is nothing ordinary. Strange things happen when they want them to, and impossible is a limit that simply does not exist in their plane of being. But it's this strangeness that he's been rejecting, that he's been trying to run from all these years. Unfortunately, whether he likes it or not, he must enlist the help of siblings who resent him to unveil the secrets behind the vendetta against his stepfather and fight the forces determined to tear his family apart. Oh, and of course, he has to participate in a race for inheritance privileges ⸻ something he never even wanted. Cairo's own past has come back to haunt him, tangled with everyone else's and a million times worse. Time is ticking, and there are sins to atone for, blood to be spilled. #ONC2024 - Prompt 13 Total Word Count: 40,310 #1 in #intrigue 2/24-3/21 © Ginger Beckett 2024

From The Ashes by EllisBeddoe

"This is the truth, guarded by the ignorant and blind. This is the truth of our world and our history. The gods have abandoned us. And it is our fault." Two towns set alight, and unrest continues to stir the air, even after the ashes have settled. These events are not coincidental, nor will they be the last tragedy to befall the dark, bloody and war-stricken world of Tayrul. All know it, and all suspect, rightly, that these events are only the opening of a gate, allowing something much bigger and far more sinister to befall the already ailing world. Arvayn Bryvaris, a mysterious half-elven thief/assassin, decides to cut ties with a deadly assassin's guild in an attempt to free himself of the vile shadow of the abusive and manipulative Assassin King, and strives to clear his name of the blood of his past. He strikes a deal to steal a strange talisman for a Curseborn named Locke in exchange for his freedom. Only for this decision to - instead of end his path of struggles and strife as he intended - lead him down another. One to something far more deadly than he could have ever even imagined... Meanwhile, Fenris Alivar, a monster hunter known as a Duskguide from the city of Loridge, is pulled into investigating the town burnings, one of which resulted in the death of his mentor. Found evidence points to the Heirs Of The Phoenix, a sinister cult that plagues his past, as well as a vampiric child called Cherlen. Fenris is tasked with the interrogation of the vampire, and the apprehension of the cult. All at the tremendous price of facing his past demons in an all or nothing effort to avenge the brutal deaths of his loved ones, at the hands of his own blood.

The Abused is The Abuser in Another World by AkumaNoir062893

In a world where demons, dragons, and forgotten gods vie for dominance, Noir-a former junk collector thrust into a realm beyond his understanding-finds himself at the center of a dark, unfolding mystery. Awakened in a new body after a brutal betrayal, Noir is driven by a singular desire for revenge against those who wronged him. But the rules of this world are unlike anything he's ever known, and he quickly realizes he's caught in a deadly game with no guide, no allies, and powers he can barely comprehend. Bound by an uneasy alliance with Asmodeus, a frustrated demon prince, and Takir, a cunning dragon spirit, Noir must navigate a treacherous landscape filled with ancient magic, powerful weapons, and shifting alliances. As he gains new abilities and confronts the dangers lurking in every shadow, he wields "The Grimreaper," a weapon feared even by gods-a hungry blade that craves the essence of its victims to grow stronger. With two powerful entities trapped in his mind and a mysterious dashboard visible only to him, Noir must learn to master the arcane forces at his disposal or risk being consumed by them. As the binding contracts tighten and new threats emerge, Noir's journey is one of survival, discovery, and the relentless pursuit of vengeance-where every step forward could lead to unimaginable power or utter annihilation. In a world where every choice is a gamble, can Noir find his way to revenge, or will he become just another pawn in a game played by forces far beyond his understanding?
