Godhood | ONC 2024 by AnnSepino

The life of a goddess isn't as easy as it seems. | On the morning of Palya's arranged marriage, a mark appears on her forehead, indicating that she has ascended into a deity. She learns that she has become a void-goddess with the ability to undo the other gods' blessings. Believing that she would betray them and lose control, her fellow gods declare that she must submit herself to an eternal slumber, which would restrain her power. Unless, of course, she could learn to master her gift. The new void-goddess must bind her power to the soul of a mortal who will die if she uses it beyond what the situation demands. Palya thinks that nobody in their right mind would be willing to risk their lives for her freedom--until Iloyu, the man she was supposed to marry, volunteers for the task. Can the timid but hopeful Palya and the brash but noble Iloyu navigate the perils of godhood and fall in love along the way? (Written for the Open Novella Contest 2024, Prompt 18: With powers they said were a shame, a goddess is tamed into submission and fears her own destiny.)

Larissinha's Mask 2: The Spirit of the Lost Melody by Samuelgomes22

After the meteoric success of her song, Larissinha finds herself in the midst of a growing unease. The mask that made her a star reveals its true purpose: it is a portal to an ancient spirit, whose influence deepens with each melody Larissinha sings. Caught between the glamour of fame and the dark whispers of an entity that threatens to consume her, Larissinha discovers that her connection to the mask is not just a coincidence, but part of an ancient curse that has plagued her lineage for generations. When disturbing visions of the past begin to haunt her, Larissinha realizes that the mask not only grants talent, but also exacts a devastating price. In her search for answers, she delves into buried secrets of her family and the macabre history of all those who have worn the mask before her. Now, she must face the truth: freeing herself means destroying the mask and sacrificing everything she has achieved, or succumbing to the darkness and losing her very identity.
