They say King Midas was greedy. They say he begged a god for gold. That is not the truth. Midas was a faithful husband, a devoted father, and a king who valued peace over excess. But when Dionysus grows jealous of mortal happiness, he grants Midas a "gift" that turns everything he touches to gold. When the curse is lifted, Midas believes he has been forgiven. He is wrong. What follows is not a lesson in greed - but a punishment in love, immortality, and divine cruelty. Some curses do not end at the river. Some only begin there.

"'Where am I?'" "'Do you remember anything?'" Well, I wouldn't be asking if I did, now would I? . . . Jewel Amana is supposed to be dead. She's not dead. She can't remember how, or why---and honestly she's not entirely sure this isn't all some crazy dream. She's not stupid either. Someone tried to kill her, someone is going to try and find her and make sure she's actually dead this time. They'll probably kill her new allies too. But there is some sort of silver tainted lining. She can remember one thing. Tiffany. And the vaguely fuzzy feeling in her chest when she says the name out loud. No path is ever straight, and while she thinks she isn't either, this might be one of the hardest trials of her life--not that she can remember the other ones.

Valentine never had a lick of magic to his name, but that didn't stop him from becoming high society's darling in the magical 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 fabulous life, Valentine is determined to find the legendary witch Lilivere, who will surely free him from this horrible curse. Except Lilivere is out of town... and the only witch willing to 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.

(Slightly modified; the curse is not particularly ancient.)

This is a work of historical fiction. While it features real historical figures, their portrayals, dialogues, and personal lives are purely imaginative. No disrespect is intended toward the historical personas; they are cast here as actors in a fictional drama created for entertainment purposes. In ninth-century Baghdad, Aisha bint Al-Fadl, daughter of a powerful wazir, moves among the halls of her father's palace, where opulence is matched only by strict rules and quiet family intrigues. Every gesture, every word carries weight, and missteps are noticed. Half a millennium later, in 2024 Indonesia, Ruqayyah, a teenage girl at a pesantren, navigates a life of simplicity and routine, far from wealth or politics. Her world is calm, orderly, and predictable-until it is not. Without warning, a force beyond understanding intertwines their fates: their souls are swapped, and each is thrust into a life they do not recognize. In unfamiliar bodies, they must learn new languages, customs, and expectations, all while obeying a law whose rules are strict and mysterious-one misstep could cost more than they can imagine. There is one command above all: anyone who marries in a body that is not their own brings a curse upon themselves and their descendants, everlasting and unyielding. Yet their final mission is clear: to earn the deep, true love of the men they desire. How can they accomplish this-when they are forbidden to marry? As feelings rise in worlds that are not theirs, a grim question looms: who will bear the curse, and how far will fate stretch before it snaps? Watching from the shadows, a silent presence monitors every step. Patient, exacting, and unseen, it waits for the moment when their decisions will set a destiny that cannot be undone. --------- If you're enjoying the journey so far, please consider leaving a vote-it really helps other readers find this story!

I woke up in a silk bed beneath a ceiling I once described in a passing paragraph. The problem is that I remember writing this world. I am Princess Amelia Ardent, heroine of an unfinished novel I abandoned in another life. A prophecy declares that I will be loved by two souls. One will save me. One will destroy me. I created the silver haired hero. I named the black haired villain. I thought I controlled their fates. But this world contains things I never wrote. If I truly authored this story, why does it feel like someone else is holding the pen? *** Prompt Used: 115

Zirion is their home, the only one they can remember. Their colonial ship and the first city were abandoned long ago. Since then, with rifles and dwindling technology, the humans have spread across the lush planet, pushing its primitive inhabitants to the brink of extinction. In the past, the original Zirion race left behind a human child merged with the Flow, the pulse of the planet. Known as Sybil, she was a milestone for humankind, fusing human DNA with the planet's life force, able to withstand the dangerous pollen tides and predict the dangers hiding in the shadows of the jagged peaks. But centuries of shizms, civil wars and raids left the Sybil Protocol in tatters. Now only the expendable or sickly children undergo the procedure, a far cry from once perfected formula, leaving some of the survivors disfigured and exiled. Rhea is one of the last "Flowers", a human hybrid working as a scout for the Bastion, the self-proclaimed capital ruled by the Trinity Council. Shunned as a strange necessity, she tries to uncover the secret of the rapid changes on Zirion that endanger the human population. The planet itself is turning frenzied with hunger. The gravitational anomalies cause fear and apocalyptic predictions. While the Trinity Council tighten its grasp over the population, Rhea and her team seek a solution in the ruins of the old species that once lived on the planet. Uncovering secrets of the aliens who mysteriously vanished, averting extinction, she will have to answer a universal question: Is there a price too high for survival? And who should pay it? ONC 2026 Prompt used: 93. Buried beneath the ruins lies an artifact that whispers memories of an ancient being. The first memory it reveals is a warning and it's meant for you.
