The Seventh Year Of Salt - ONC 2026✔️
'He had spent his life chasing a reflection, never noticing the life waiting for him behind his own back.' A mirror. A lighthouse. A curse whispered across generations. Silas Hale dreams of a lighthouse that calls him, and a mirror that whispers his name. Every time he follows it, misfortune follows too. The wind never quiets. The mist never lifts. And the sea ... waits for him to return. Prompt-34. "You have to sail the seven seas to find the lost treasure, but treasure means different things to different people, what treasures will you find at worlds' edge ."Complete
These Godless Depths | ONC 2026
There are strange creatures in the water - and TEMPEST RAERIR is tasked with keeping them there. The gods have long since abandoned the Queendom of Khaedel, letting monsters of the deep plague the land with sickness and death. She defends the shores and kills anything that dares to step onto the sand. When one of the queens of Khaedel - Tempest's mentor - falls ill, her duty switches to saving who she cares about most. And she just might be the key to saving everyone. The deeper you go into the Arnstar Ocean, the more powerful the creatures become, and THE WARDEN'S duty is to keep them all in line. For centuries, the magic keeping the most depraved monsters at bay has been waning. Now that cracks have cut through the surface, the Warden faces no choice but to obtain the help of the beings that despise them the most. Tempest and the Warden must band together and venture as far down into the Arnstar Ocean as they can to seal the fissures. Only, getting there might not be as easy as they thought. Can they survive the battles with the leviathans that lurk in the darkness? Or will they prove the gods right that the land is hopeless? ONGOING 2026 © -DeeIsDead-
ORDINARY MAGIC • ONC 2026
Valentine never had a lick of magic to his name, but that didn't stop him from becoming high society's darling in the enchanted land of Stellamaris. Until one cunning witch takes it all away... Valentine wakes up five years in the past as a backwater bookseller in Greater Moss-on-the-Wold, stuck in the drab place where he started. Robbed of his status, his looks, and his charmed life, Valentine is determined to find the legendary witch Lilivere and be freed from this horrible curse. Except Lilivere is out of town... and the only witch who can help him now is her taciturn daughter, Luciana. Who doesn't have a single drop of magic. Stoic, brooding Luc couldn't care less about high society, the art of spellcraft, or a sullen has-been cursed to return to his humble past. Outcast and misfit, she lives alone in the woods, preferring solitude to the villagers' scorn. But as they work together to break Valentine's curse and set things right, Luc and Valentine realize there's a greater scheme at play. And that magic, like so many things in life, is never as simple as it seems. Written for the ONC 2026. 39: After being cursed, you go from being the most popular socialite to becoming a nobody. 11: The daughter of the most powerful witch is nothing like her mother. 73. You wake up in a body that isn't yours, living a life almost identical to your own, and soon discover you're bound by an ancient curse forcing you to relive your past until you finally get one thing right.

The Desert Doggers
Times are hard at Dwayne's Dogs, once the premier hot dog stand in the popular tourist destination of Buttmouth Bay. When the council threatens to revoke his street trading licence, Herb realises the time has come to open the sealed envelope bequeathed by his late father in case the family business should ever face mortal peril. Following his father's vague instructions, Herb journeys with his grill cook to a distant land in search of the lost ingredient for his father's famous hot dog relish. Instead, they find a secret in the desert that poses a threat to humanity itself... AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hey! :) This novel is a kind of meandering adventure comedy, with the occasional glob of pseudo-philosophical gloom spliced in between the wackiness. There are some mentions of suicide (nothing graphic), hence the 'mature' rating. There is also some infrequent swearing, but mostly I try to keep things light. I'm very sorry, but there is no sexual content. :( If you decide to read anyway, enjoy! Best wishes, Sweaty DaveComplete
Dead Heart Longing
In a reality where the living and the dead intertwine, Gesar, the once mighty king, roams his ancient Tibetan castle as a ghost. His heart, as cold as the snow covering the mountain tops and consumed with bitterness, melts when he meets Nur--a woman like a warm summer breeze, who is drawn to forgotten histories and untold tales. As their fates meet, Gesar's long-dead heart stirs with an unfamiliar warmth, and Nur faces an impossible choice: to save the cursed soul she's grown to love or condemn him to eternal solitude. Amidst the snow-capped peaks and forgotten ruins, their love defies time and human greed, but the shadows of ancient conflicts threaten to extinguish their fragile hope. *** Note: It's loosely based on The Epic of Gesar of Ling. The grand winner of the Immortals' Conquest 2022.Complete
