[Completed in 2025] The Kingdom of Velmoria is crumbling and on the brink of destruction, and only one person can save the dying Kingdom. Julian, a young man running away from home, stumbles upon a door unlike any other in the heart of an overgrown forest.

Upon stepping through, his life is changed forever as memories that don't belong to him start flooding his mind, and a power unlike anything he ever felt before starts to fill his veins. But Julian's arrival does more than awaken his mysterious abilities; it also shatters the last of the seals imprisoning an ancient evil, a darkness that threatens to consume Velmoria. With the kingdom weakening, Julian is the only one with the power to stop this darkness. Lost in a world he doesn't fully understand, Julian must learn to harness his new abilities and uncover the truth behind the memories that aren't his.

The Whisper of Life [Gay Orcs]
The Whisper of Life, a story by TheOtherOre. Orcs have existed for millennia, most enjoying their lives on their origin island. Their history is vast and unfortunately, most of it hasn't been recorded. Turmoil and violence riddled the orc tribes for the longest time, until a great orc rose to unite them all. That orc is Ore Fa'aalnav. Ore spent his entire life helping the orcs grow, get over their differences and create the first orc kingdom. Now, he holds the title and duties of the Great King of the Great Orc Kingdom. When one of the orc expeditions into the rest of the world returns with a peculiar book about a certain type of magic, the king finds himself being reminded of how his people were created. Follow Ore as he embarks on a magical journey to create life with magic. Do you think he'd be able to create a hunk of a man, or will his weird experiment fail? The following story acts as an introduction for the fantasy world most of my stories are based on. I created my own lore around orc creation and existence, something that gets explored in this particular story as well.

Harmonized Freedoms
Eliora May, a lifetime citizen of Maplemaw, is something many women are not. Literate. An activist. But these become hard to complete as all is stripped away from her with the coming of unexpected news. Marriage and war between the faeires and elves of Ilkaphene. A land of magic, where flowers and fungi grow as tall as their castles. Where forest creatures live in harmony. A land of peace. A land where a fairy married an elf. A fairy princess marrying an elf princess at that. Eliora begins to hear rumors of the war. How it was destroying an ethereal land. And, worst of all, how women were being silenced to prevent more "corruption". As the war and its standards begin to seep into Elvangmort, changing Eliora's home into one of constrictions, hushed whispers, and worst of all, a hatred toward women, she knows that she must do something to save her freedom and the freedoms of those around her. *** This is my submission for ONC 2025!
