ALTARON - en by SilcosShadow

Sorin Terev was always different - cold logic, brilliant mind, but the world played an unfair game with him. When his only friend also betrays him, he decides not to be a pawn anymore. He finds the answer to a question that no one has solved before him - an equation that can change the fate of mankind. But every knowledge costs something. Loss, pain, something that no one will ever return to him... The once tight-lipped youth becomes a leader whose name inspires both respect and fear. The city dominion has no idea who is really speaking to them, and the city is unaware of who it really belongs to. When the last drop of blood hits the pavement, it's too late to ask questions. Only he knows the answers. And he will never give them away for free. (inspired by Arcane)

The Library of Lost Stories by mirielleansel

Round 3 Ambassador Pick Once, you were a character in a story--your life crafted by an unseen hand, your destiny inked into pages. But that story was deleted, erased from existence. Now, you wake up in the Hidden Library, a place where discarded characters and abandoned tales linger. You have no name, no memory, only the weight of an existence that no longer belongs anywhere. But the Library is in turmoil. Books are unraveling, their worlds colliding in chaos-romance heroes stranded in dystopian landscapes, fairy-tale villains haunting contemporary settings, cookbooks whispering eerie prophecies. The ink that binds these stories is breaking. A voice calls out to you from the pages: "Tell me your story, and perhaps I'll grant you the love others failed to find." Guided by an ancient entity known as "The Archivist", you must restore order to the Library by weaving these fragmented stories into one cohesive masterpiece. But as you travel through the wreckage of broken narratives, something stirs in the ink. A truth long buried within the Library's depths a secret about who you really were before your story was erased. Can you rewrite your fate? Or will the Library consume you, turning you into just another forgotten page? #ONC2025 Main Prompt: #40 Sub Prompts: #100 & #59

Library of Death by BlueDuck394

Micheal and William are two young boys who live in a town where nothing happens. No murders, no kidnapping. Nobody goes missing and nothing newsworthy or that anybody outside the town knows what's going on. Marissa is fresh out of high school and new to the town, looking for a quiet place to open her library. But when people start disappearing, it looks as if Marissa's to blame. Nobody believes her when she says she has nothing to do with it. Some say the library is haunted, others say it's some supernatural thing, others believe that James killed his family and then took his own life. But the truth lies in the books and in the walls...can they find it? Set in 1921 TRIGGERS - Murder - Scuicide - Swearing - Assult For those who have not read the tale of the Juniper Tree by the brothers Grimm, I suggest you read it now because it will come in handy to know for this story. https://www.theguardian.com/books/2009/oct/10/fairytales-juniper-tree
