Jeon Jeongguk is not just a demon-he is the Duke of Solraine, commander of its armies, and the kingdom's most dangerous weapon. Feared, respected, and untouchable, his life is one of cold perfection. He hates humans, hides behind his arrogance, and decides with a single glance who is worth trusting... and who deserves to die. A demon duke feared by all. And A cursed child with eyes too bright to forget. The moment his eyes found him. He took the boy into his world. Against reason, against the walls he built, Jeongguk takes him in. A single choice that unravels centuries of silence and sets into motion a fate he cannot ignore. He protects what the world has tried to destroy; in the quiet between curses and chaos, loyalty whispers the loudest, and some bonds are older than memory, deeper than reason, and heavier than any curse. A love that should have been theirs, yet the world refused to allow it. "It was never forbidden to begin with!" A destiny that cannot be undone. TopJk • BottomTae

Six were chosen. Not by fate. Not by God and especially not by faith. But by something watching from the dark. In Hollowcrest, shadows move on their own, hearts forget how to beat, and faith is a fragile bridge. This is not a curse. It's a calling... Or is it?

Celia Jones can talk to the dead, but getting on with them is a different story. She always has at least three spirits following her around, complaining about their relatives, or the inadequacy of their funeral arrangements. The latest is a murdered actress, Maude Domby, but she's less interested in denouncing her killer than in accusing the understudy of stealing her favourite pearls. When the charming but utterly fraudulent medium Stanley Winter holds a séance to contact Maude, Maude insists she and Celia should attend, to see people mourning her 'properly'. But the séance ends up implicating an innocent woman, and now Stanley Winter is banging on Celia's door, begging her to help him find Maude's real killer. Unfortunately, helping Stanley Winter could lead Celia to confront her other power - the one that's both lighter and infinitely darker than talking to the dead. ONC Prompt: 72. A real necromancer sits in on a fake séance.

​⚠️ WARNING: BEFORE YOU ENTER THE GALLERY ​Welcome to the shadows of Venice, a place where art is not merely observed-it is distilled from life and agony. Do not turn the first page unless your heart is steady enough for what lies ahead. ​On Content: This work contains graphic descriptions of Body Horror, the desecration of the human form in the name of art, and occult spiritual practices. If you are sensitive to themes of anatomy, mummification, or psychological manipulation, proceed with extreme caution. ​A Word of Advice: Do not read this alone in the dark, unless you wish to hear the rhythmic ticking of a bone-inlaid pendulum clock echoing right against your ear. ​VENICE HAS NO SUN ​Venice, 17xx. A city resembling a corpse adorned in lavish makeup. ​Amidst the nobles who worship beauty to the extreme, Nam-a young artisan from the East-sees the fatal "cracks" hidden beneath the perfect plaster veneer. ​"Your plaster is beautiful," Nam spoke, his voice unnervingly calm. "But it is broken. Something inside... refuses to die." ​Lorenzo smiled, a cold light flashing in his eyes: "Broken? That is life, artisan. Do you wish to help me... conceal it with your glittering shards of pearl?" ​Are you ready to "recycle" your soul?

When five strangers arrive at the secluded Blackwood Lodge, they expect luxury, privacy, and escape. What they find instead is a house built on secrets and a host determined to unearth them. They quickly realize their presence is no coincidence. By morning, one of them will be dead. As a storm cuts the lodge off from the outside world, quiet archivist Margaret Kline begins to notice what others miss: doors that lock from the wrong side, hallways that don't appear on the blueprints, and guests who seem to know more about Blackwood's past than they admit. In a place designed for discretion, the truth has nowhere left to hide. Heyy, I'm currently writing this for school as a creative writing assignment and thought I might as well upload it on here too. Not sure if this would be of interest to anyone considering the fact that I'm writing it for school so it doesn't have any spice and my grammar isn't the best. The chapters are relatively short and this probably won't be very long. Anyway, I hope you like it! ᯓᡣ𐭩

Humanity is failing. In the frozen depths of Hell, Satan is warmed by the hatred in our human hearts. Following his release, He dismisses his princes into the human world, hungry for power and set on the warpath to raze humanity, seeking retaliation for his once-eternal confinement. Banished into the human world, his fallen court must work with a motley crew of humans to survive. A supernatural battle ensues in their search for answers and release. TLDR: Set in the fictional town of Redrock, AZ-and narrated in a third-person limited perspective-the cast will come together through inexplicable means to face primordial powers. *** Will I ever finish this? No, because I can't plot for the life of me. Some published parts were for a class and have been peer-reviewed, I guess.

An archivist discovers a box that should never have been opened-containing the research journal of Dr. Erik Versen, a scholar who died under mysterious circumstances in Latvia in 2010.

As the archivist traces Versen's footsteps through crumbling estates and ancient archives, the boundaries between past and present begin to dissolve. Some knowledge is too dangerous to pursue. Some doors, once opened, cannot be closed. And some things, once woken, will not rest again.

My entry for the ONC 2026.

The past never dies, it lingers in the blood. Two sons rise from the ashes of their fathers' sins. In the war between shadow and sunlight, legacy decides who survives.

Jona, a sheltered 30 years old woman, fled too late from her nest for the first time, to the most bustling and glamorous entertainment empire, Stellarvale in Locangel. Humble her job position was, just a utility worker in a film set. Bittersweet her luck was, encountering the hottest, multi-talented singer, model and actor Jack Rothell who she had dedicated her feelings for decades. Yet Roi Brox, a viscious ex-kicboxer champion turned actor, messed her days with his stormy mix of brutality and protection. If all this was not enough to bear, a gothic mystery-fluid figure showed up like a silent shadow between dreams and reality. Before the eyes of such small, powerless person, the veils of success and luxury vanished, revealing a vicious world of endless rivalry, even hunt where no soul was spared.

This is a debut that will manipulate you. Lie to you. Gorgeously. Margaret Salvatore has always seen the world differently. At Ravenwood Academy-an elite boarding school where science is revered like faith-her unsettling visions of danger before it strikes are no longer just intuition. They may be the only weapon she has when the Academy's greatest minds begin to fall. Caught between two rivals-the calculating, methodical Brian, and the dazzling, magnetic Sebastian-Margaret must navigate not only the volatile currents of love and loyalty but also the razor's edge of survival. As the shadow of fear deepens, Margaret must decide how to wield her visions, whom to trust, and how far she's willing to go to outthink a murderer who has outsmarted the masters themselves . At Ravenwood, knowledge is power. It might also be the reason you die.

After a devastating defeat, humanity was forced to give up their land and relocate to two isolated continents that were labeled as impossible to live on. After hundreds of years while the rest of the world focuses on agricultural and living conditions. Humanity had focused on its weapons and military. As years of isolation were broken and tensions rise, the fate of the world is left uncertain.

A quiet story where nothing breaks - and yet everything shifts. On a calm street, ordinary days begin to feel slightly wrong. Bodies react, objects change, and care slowly turns into responsibility. No one announces the impossible - it simply takes root. This is a slow, uncanny novel about liminal states, fragile trust, and the moment when something unfamiliar becomes impossible to ignore.
