CATastrophe (ONC 2026)

Catastrophe || An event causing great and usually sudden damage or suffering; a disaster.

A chance encounter leads to misadventure when a curious cat and a rebellious young reaper's world collide.

The daughter of the Grim Reaper, Eulalie, is nothing like the legendary phenomenon. She's not built for reaping, unlike her older brother, Nemorin. It's hard enough being a teenager without collecting souls. Let alone when an entire council of reapers wants to get rid of you. It's not her fault she doesn't fit in. And reaping doesn't get you out of algebra.

After one too many mistakes and a lost heirloom, her father can't protect her any longer. Thirteen Souls. She has until midnight to prove herself. Or else risk losing her powers and returning to Earth to live with her human mother, whom she's never met.

CW: Themes of Death.
