Noromance Stories

After getting lost in a forest, eighteen-year-old Atlas was attacked by two pythons. He didn't expect to survive as they coiled around his body and squeezed the life out of him. He also didn't expect some serpent-controlling boy with fangs, patches of sage scales across his skin, and vertical slits for pupils to save him. And he most certainly didn't expect the boy to bend closer to him, blink slowly, and whisper, "Pspspspspspsps." ----- Copyright, all right reserved © Anyone187 2025

In a world of anarchy, people across the world formed factions and strongholds for safety and stability. A small, independent faction stood out in its isolation; overlooked for years, it could afford freedom and neutrality in its anonymity. However, its stance is challenged when it garners the attention of Isakara, a powerful stronghold in Redrocks. The faction must learn the reality of this lawless land: rival factions are not their worst enemy. [Updates every week, hopefully]

*Note: This is based off an old and discontinued story that had its outline scrapped and reworked to fit the prompts for the ONC. Essentially, a new book for this competition. Only the core concept, title and the protagonist's name are kept the same.* ----- A ribbon, a hair-clip, a pen, a notebook and a radio, held in the arms of a sixteen year old girl... ... It's been four hundred of years since The Rot ravaged the world and sent people downward with its decaying touch, four hundred years since humanity has inhaled even a breath of fresh air and twenty years since the first fifth-generation child was born in the shelters deep underground. And now, beneath the poisoned earth at the edge of the world, only six of them remain living in the last surviving shelter, the last surviving Lifelight illuminating a darkened board. For the rest were claimed by The Rot. Protected at all costs, older generations shields the worst of the consequences, the worst of the panic, but truth cannot be hidden forever. With increasing tensions and increasing crime, it becomes clear that there are only two outcomes: to die in strife or to die in silence. That is, until an inexplicable hope presents itself in the form of a radio transmission originating from the single most uninhabitable place on Earth, the surface. But it's too late, too late for most, other than the most protected, the youngest, the fifth generation. The waiting game is over and now it's a race against time. Before The Rot reaches them, before they run out of supplies, the handful of survivors must reach out and find the source of the transmission. From this, there are only two possible results: death or a secured future. *Cover done by the amazing @toruinagod*

For years, Madelyn's worst fears have only resided in her head, feeding off her heightened sense of her surroundings and unfortunate experiences and accidents in her past. That's why her schooling is more than just assignments, tests, and high school drama. The Eralyn Academy of Secondary Education provides her with a once-in-a-lifetime chance to develop her special ability. It's her safe haven, a place where she can strive to one day control her ability and anxiety - at least, it is until things take a deadly turn. When Madelyn is dared to sign up for the school's joke of a dating app, she reluctantly complies. But when she arrives on the first date, she realizes that she's been matched with a dead man. Caught up in an investigation and ruminations running wild, Madelyn seeks to uncover who the real murderer is in a desperate attempt to outrun one increasingly deafening thought: Is she a killer?

a story in wich an overly dickish worker drone ends up roped into shit way above his pay grade, and yet he couldn't be happier!

Time flows differently if you aren't ready for it but with friends along the way the pain just eases away though the memories don't. (OG story was deleted by accidently oops)

From a normal person to a shaman fighting for survival. ***** Willies lived as a normal student, who had an infatuation like any other. Since his crush's birthday would be the next day, his friend, Paul, introduced him to a tall sketchy-looking man-a man whose entire head was covered with white cloth. Like a slender man? Willies didn't know that in the next few days he would encounter supernatural beings, get trapped in a mansion that had time distortion, and escape learning that they had been isolated for 10 years. By that time, the world had changed into something that they never expected.

Open Novella Contest 2026 entry Main Prompt: 33) It doesn't take long before your life spins out of control. One moment you're a secret assassin, and the next you've been somehow hired as a nanny and you're not entirely sure how it happened. Side Prompt: 81) Unalluring and bumbling, your character is the world's worst (assassin) vampire ──── Nekane has plenty of regrets in life, but nothing will compare to when she accidentally assassinated the wrong person. Anyone could have made the same mistake, but no... they terminated her because, in their words, she was "the worst assassin ever". This leaves Nekane scouring the job market to avoid her mother's lectures. Somehow, she finds a listing. From a wealthy vampire couple needing a new nanny for their dhampir infant (whatever the hell that is). After all, it's just watching a baby... right? Wrong. Now Nekane has a missing baby, and is left with two choices: admit she lost the dhampir baby or leave. Scratch that; her only option is to find the baby if she wants to avoid the wrath of a vampire couple and her parents putting her out on the streets. ──── Cover by @ThePiratesPen

In an Alternate Universe where Kakashi has a child... Hatake Tsukiko knows she's different. Aside from the obvious of being the child of Hatake Kakashi, they need more help than the average shinobi, which is why she was placed on Interrogation Specialist Morino Ibiki's first genin team. Morino Ibiki works hard to keep Tsukiko engaged and in a safe and comfortable environment when learning. When the third teammate, Minamoto Ryouichi, starts bullying Tsukiko for being so different, leading to physical violence against her, Ibiki is left without choice but to throw the boy off his team and even strip him of his shinobi rank. After gaining another genin-Ibiki's own son-they are sent away on their first C-Rank mission. However, Team Ibiki is not ready for the mission to turn sour... CWs: • Murder • Blood • Transphobia/Exorsexism • Bullying • Injury • Panic Attacks/Mental Health • Reference to suicide - NO AI WAS USED IN THE CREATION OF THIS STORY. All of it is fresh, directly out of my head, unhinged bullshit (^: - SCAM COMMENTS NOT WELCOME

If you got anyone to describe Jessie Reynolds-Somber in one word, it would be 'lucky.' She survived childhood leukemia (twice), has the best friend-slash-roommate in the world, and she's studying something she loves at the university she's forever adored. But not even November can describe why she feels so incomplete, as though she's forgotten to do something she'll never get a chance to do. Why she feels like she's failed---no, worse, like she's a failure.

A Season 4 Attack on Titan AU that follows canon events 90% close. The battles are familiar. The losses remain. The difference is simple: Marley has someone competent, and it's Marley-centric. This is not a fix-it/fluffy story. It follows Isayama's rules canon. "Even when people know better, tragedy still happens; It is only delayed." (If you're planning to use my work, give me credit).

This is Alienated, a passion project of mine. Story summary- Chris and Carol meet on a cheap spaceline as they both travel for work. Their first impressions arent stellar and personalities clash. However once they are marooned on an alien planet in completely different environments they must find each other in order to get off this planet. Will they be able to make their way through this new world unscathed or will they die trying to escape? This is the first time im posting here so i apologize if the summary isnt amazing haha 😅 Its basically a survival science fiction story that I have based off the concepts of subanutica (alien underwater survival game for those who dont know) and have been building it from there! Hope all enjoy!

You might have forgotten many things from your childhood, but one memory fragment always stayed in your heart. Your favourite cartoon, Shinchan, was yours for many reasons you can list forever. It was just too good. On a fateful night, after hopelessly remembering the fun times of childhood and watching that show, you went back to bed and ended somewhere you love. VARIOUS! SHINCHAN X READER By all rights, Shinchan is a real cartoon and doesn't belong to me and credit goes it original author. Ther will be no romance because these are literal 5 year olds.

When his friend Austin connects him with Vi, an aro-ace woman with similar frustrations, who wants to start a family free of the obligations of romance and sex, they connect as friends, and it shapes how he envisions his future.

An entry-level cartographer, Liadan is the least interesting, least important member of the Nautical Guild. Well, that's what she needs everyone to believe. When a warning at sea forces Liadan to flee the Island of Tirisea, she must choose if she returns to safety or trusts a stranger who promises her the impossible: a life where she is free from a duty that was inflicted on her at birth. No matter what, she must not let the mist find her, nor allow the key to fall into malevolent hands. One wrong move, and the world will crumble. Cover by @raizelrose3 ONC 2026 Prompts: 7. One morning, the ocean washes up a message. One you've been waiting your entire life to hear. 62. They say every door has its own key. Except for one, a key said to open them all. 79.
