An ONC2026 entry
Magic is law and every mage is bound by Summon Cards; anchor tools used to call beasts, spirits, and even gods. The gifted train in Terra City where they must choose to either serve Creation, Justice, or Death.
But Amara breaks every rule.
She can summon without a card; even moreso she can summon Annatah, the god of creation. To the Order of the First, she is a miracle. To the Brotherhood of Night, she is the perfect vessel to incarnate Althera, the goddess of chaos.
When eight year old Cassandra Apollos is kidnapped after awakening her abilities and calling forth Python, a rare divine protector, Terra City teeters on the brink of war.
With enemies closing in, Amara must shape her own destiny before chaos takes form.

Black Thickett / ONC 2026 /
Edmund comes to the remote village of Black Thickett to escape the life grief has carved out of him. He wants silence. Distance. A place where memories can't follow. But Black Thickett is wrong in quiet, unsettling ways. The broken road becomes perfectly smooth the moment he crosses the boundary. The cottages are too neat, too deliberate. And on a noticeboard full of dry flyers, only one poster is wet. A missing boy, smiling as if he doesn't know he's lost. The villagers won't talk about the disappearances. The forest at the edge of the village seems to breathe, and the deeper Edmund goes, the calmer he feels... dangerously calm. The forest can quiet his pain. It can ease his grief. It can make him forget. But not everything that heals you wants you to survive.Complete
Of Storms and Strangeness
Rankings: #1 in originals #3 in badassgirls #8 in crack #15 in banter Rating: 14+ Aria had always wanted to escape her life and live like a character from one of her books instead. She didn't expect another world to actually answer. When she and her friends are yanked out of an ordinary hangout and dumped into a completely different world, Aria knows it's the best thing that's ever happened to her. Magic. Weirdness. Chaos. Actual ducking superpowers. And The Academy-a school for teaching them how to use those powers without blowing themselves (or other people) up. This world has it all. Including a charming, magnetic guy who turns out to be the first person who can actually match Aria's spark. As the friends stumble their way through lessons, powers, and their new lives-finding laughter, love, and a very questionable sense of responsibility-an old enemy resurfaces, threatening to tear it all apart. With their school, their friendships, and their lives on the line, they'll fight with everything they've got. Preferably without dying along the way or getting demoted from students to prisoners. A storm is brewing. When it breaks... who will still be standing?![Omelette Reviews open [] CLOSED [🍳]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/400534505-256-k99132.jpg)

The Sisters of Nowhere
All small towns have their quirks. The town of Nowhere, for example, has an overabundance of ghosts. Wyatt Best has lost his money, his father, and his last sweater vest. He is only sad about losing one of those things. When he's sent to live with his estranged uncle in Nowhere, Wyatt is immediately fascinated by its magic. He then meets the Penny family. The three Penny sisters, who were each born on the same day exactly a year apart, have the ability to commune with the ghosts in Nowhere and act as a bridge between the land of the living and that of the dead. Just as Wyatt begins to adjust to his new life in this strange town, a forest appears. And the ghosts it has trapped inside have secrets to tell.Complete
The Conditions of Coin | ONC 2026
The Eye has seen-the world will end, unless the apocalypse is properly thwarted. Unfortunately, this task has been handed to the two worst people for the job. Gadowyn Harker is a poison-peddling witch of the Gold City with a curse: if she loves, she will lose her powers-and herself. Beau "The Beautificent" Beguile (not his real name) is a smug necromancer who cons the rich and has a lifelong allergy to love, and all its messy bits. Now they must do the unthinkable: bring a dragon and a future knight-princess-sworn enemy of dragonkind-together, romantically. The world would do well to start praying; the chances of success are slim at best. Meanwhile, the Gold City teeters on the brink of collapse, undead roam the streets (entirely Beau's fault), and the end of the world draws ever closer. Somehow, Gadowyn and Beau must save it all with love-without falling prey to it themselves. First draft written for ONC 2026 | Main Prompts 11 & 98Complete
Scorched Earth
Earth has fallen. When the planet crosses its final climate tipping point, temperatures rise, crops fail, and billions are forced onto the move. Diplomacy gives way to ultimatums, then to war. From unassuming laboratories to streets drowning in heat and hunger, a fractured world stumbles toward its final reckoning. As famine and conflict spread, international order dissolves into violence and blame, and armies march north through ruins chasing a future that no longer exists. Yet amid the despair, a radical plan takes shape to move a fragment of humanity to the red sands of Mars. As Earth burns and the heavens fill with refugees, one truth becomes unavoidable: the future belongs only to those willing to sacrifice everything. In the chaos of the apocalypse, a new kind of security service is needed to enforce order where nations have failed. From the ashes of Old Earth, the Sunguard rises. Scorched Earth is a sweeping hard-science epic about collapse, survival, and the cost of choosing a future when the present is already lost.Complete

They didn't choose the journey. The journey chose them. Marcus, Lisa, Sabrina, Tyler, Tia, and Jake are ordinary people with ordinary lives- they wake up in a world that shouldn't exist. Before they can make sense of it, an unknown machine tears them away and drops them into another reality... and then another. They have no map. No control. No way back. Each world is built on a single idea taken to its extreme, forcing them to navigate societies unlike anything they've ever imagined. Some are beautiful. Others are terrifying. All of them are dangerous. The machine offers only one rule: Survive. Because with every world they endure, they move one step closer to home. But millions of realities may stand between them and that goal. Why were these six strangers chosen? Who built the machine? And what happens if they fail before reaching the final world? As the answers slowly unfold, one truth becomes impossible to ignore: They aren't just traveling through worlds. They're being tested by them.
