Many centuries later, Faye Khan stumbles across a magical book about the dark arts and brings a necromancer to life-accidently, of course! Faye's expecting this necromancer, Silas (who's super judgemental of the human world) to turn her into one of his undead minions but after helping her deal with a deadly side effect of her spell, he just wants to chill...or so he claims...

[ONC 2025 HONOURABLE MENTION] A witch's broom is for flying and should never be used for cleaning unless you are Isolde Cromsbane. Her notorious clumsiness often ends up in a mess she has to deal with and there is only one job that can suit her, a librarian. But when a warlock comes looking for a forbidden book, which she had already burned to ashes by mistake, she is forced to cast the magic by herself. It's just a single spell after all. Yet apparently, her infamy should never be underestimated. It takes only one spell to reduce the library to ruins, leaving behind nothing but smoke, silence, and two lifeless bodies: hers and the warlock's. *** This is for ONC 2025 PROMPT 139: Oops, I did it again, muttered the witch as sparks flew wildly around the Hidden Library, narrowly missing the charming warlock who smirked and replied, Well this is already more exciting than finding that rare book. PROMPT 110: 20 days of freedom PROMPT 20: In a pink and red library filled with candles, you find a book with a rose on it. Inside, there's a spell that could bring back your lost love - but at what cost? © Copyrights Reserved 2025

Book 1 of The Night Library duology. Can be read as a standalone _________________________________________________________________________________ Some doors are locked for a reason. Centuries ago, Lucien was entrusted with the stewardship of a library unlike any other: a vast, hidden archive where the oldest truths of the world were kept safe from those who would twist them. Over the centuries, he has watched seekers come and go, most leaving empty-handed... if they left at all. Now, Isla's search for her missing sister leads her to the library's threshold. Drawn into its labyrinth of secrets, she finds herself under Lucien's watchful eye- unsure whether he means to help her, hinder her, or keep her there forever. As they follow a trail of ancient records and dangerous revelations, Isla begins to suspect her sister's disappearance is tied to something far larger and far older than she ever imagined. And in the library's depths, where history blurs with the present, the cost of finding the truth may be more than either of them can bear. ________________________________________________________________________________ Note: Please do not upload any part of this story to AI or language-processing platforms.

**Act I Complete** Join Rio Castro's crew as he begins his EPIC 5-ACT science-fantasy-adventure to find the Eco Orb! "Will there be bananas?!? I'm starving!" Rio asks. "You ate enough on the ship! Let's get a move on!" Sir Lachlan chirps. This is a serialized novel so here is what to expect: 1. A Found Family: A crew of characters that you'll fall in love with. 2. A unique magic system called Eco (it'll make sense after the first few chapters) 3. A Shonen Style format for Story Arcs (WEBTOON artists hmu) 4. A slow-burn romance? (No spoilers here) 5. Action Scenes that hit hard and emotional moments that hurt. 6. Villains you'll love to hate 7. A prophecy, rebellion, and a world to save 8. And yes Rio, more bananas 🙄 Disclaimer: The Orb Seeker's rating was changed to mature due to violence and dark themes in later chapters (no smut). Chapters with graphic content include disclaimers at top.
