[ONC 2021 Grand Winner] After the events of Ragnarök, the God Vidar has settled in the nice and quiet city of Antwerp where he keeps an eye on the local paranormal community. Nearly a millennium later, Vidar is a grumbling bookstore owner by day and a lazy paranormal detective by night (albeit a slightly furry one during a full moon). The morning after a particularly rough transition, the young teenage girl who normally wastes her days on the skatepark across the street enters his shop, fervently looking for a book on the legend of Brabo and Antigonus. As she struggles to pay, she reveals that the bronze giant has disappeared from the statue on the town square. At the foot of the fountain now lies a body that has been dead for three hundred years. Prompts chosen: (25) The war has ended, and thus the immortals return to their natural state: forgotten, hiding in the shadows until humankind is in need of them once more.

(*) To fit the plot I have in mind, the young farm apprentice will become a bookstore "apprentice"

"There is no freedom without justice." Year 3049 on Earth. Times have changed. The world mankind once knew is gone. It is replaced by disorder and chaos when the creatures of all kind reign. Demons, elks, Werewolves, goblings, Dragons, Magicians and many other are here not only to enslave mankind, but to conquer the areas they wish for themselves. For humans their faith was simple; if they stood up against something far more powerful than themselves, they were slaughtered like pigs, or then they fell down on their knees and begged for their lives. A choice made for survival for their race. The war of the continents has settled down after many years, when the areas are very clear. For those who dared to take one step across the line of the Demon Kingdom... were sentenced either to death, or to become a slave. At that time each creature knew that the ruler of half of the world and one of the most powerful creatures living on Earth was the Demon King; Belial. To which was no greater being existing-- or was there? The wrongess, slavery and greed are reigning, but a change is about to happen. Justice is about to be made. Faith, just an ordinary young girl who has experienced the life of a slave. Nobody really know of her, which makes the story even more fascinating as she runs into a Stanger who proves to share same kind of mysteries and secrets hidden underneath. Who knew the gang was about to grow just bigger and get into more trouble? [Interested? Read the first chapter to check the story out!]
