Who’s to say the fun needs to stop with a trilogy? You heard that right, the Open Novella Contest is back for a fourth edition!
For fellow users who’ve returned from years past, welcome back. We are so glad to see familiar faces coming to this corner once again. For new users who’ve recently discovered this profile, we’re excited to see new friends join us on this writing journey!
Whether or not you’re a new or returning ONC writer continue reading further to learn more about the Open Novella Contest.
★ The Open Novella Contest is a collaborative project spanning different corners of the Ambassador-run profiles.
★ The Open Novella Contest has one goal in mind - encouraging Novella writing.
★ There is a slight change from last year’s ONC in which this year’s contest will be a total of 13 weeks from February 1st, 2021 to May 2nd, 2021.
★ This is a writing challenge unlike NaNoWriMo
Although NaNoWriMo is an extremely impressive feat to accomplish, for those with compact schedules the Open Novella Contest provides a wide berth in the writing timeline and a shorter word count goal.
★ Perfect opportunity to test out a new genre
Let’s be honest. We’ve all been there, wanting to delve into a new genre but not necessarily for a full-fledged novel. You can use ONC as a way to “test the waters” before you dive into the world of your new genre interest!

★ New Year’s Resolution or Personal Goals in mind
Perhaps you have New Year’s Resolution set in stone, or you’re wanting to escape from the writer’s block box, or simply to set a new personal goal for yourself!
★ Dust off the old ideas you shelved in the past
Whether it be an idea you shelved a week ago or an idea from the beginning of your Wattpad profile, this is as good a time as any to dust it off and bring it back to life.
★ You either missed out on the last ONC and/or have counted down the days until the next!
Look no further, in a few days time the Open Novella Contest will officially launch on (Eastern Standard Time) and you’ll be free to write your novella masterpiece!
This is solely a promotional chapter for the English Open Novella Contest.

Nero Zero
Monsters plagued the lands for too long. No matter if one had fangs, beak, teeth, skin, fur, or feather, or was tall, stout, or diminutive, the people suffered. Until the Gadgeteers came with a device that could allow people to fight back. Powered by one's own magical power, feeding off of monster Essence, the Arbitrium bracer turned the tables. It also changed society. Strength of one's level cap was all that mattered. The strongest were Kings and Emperors. The weak or those too poor to afford the marvelous device, destitute. And so it has been for millennia. All that mattered was one's level cap. High, low, a fate decided the moment the strange contraption came alive. Too high and you were a threat to those interested in keeping the status quo, a weed to be nipped before it could grow and take root. Too low and you were nobody, fated to be a bit more than a simple farmer. What if someone, somewhere, came up with a zero for their level cap? Unable to use Essence, unable to level up. On all of recorded history, it never happened. Until it did. In a small village of fur-less and tail-less ape-beastkin, a boy found out he was uniquely handicapped. Nero's level cap was Zero. But he'd never let that stop him from reaching his goals. ------------------------------------------------ All stories have already been told. We merely reuse elements from them. From Joseph Campbell's Monomith to Stephen King's advice, and that encyclopedia of tropes you've visited, fiction has been dissected and reassembled countless times. One will surely find elements inspired on other works here. Just like cooking from basic ingredients, the recipe and presentation is what really matter. This is a fantasy adventure, of someone that goes from a zero to a slightly bigger zero. It will have romance but no harem. Cruelty but with hope dimly shining ahead. Lightweight where it can be, heavy where it must. Thanks for reading. Cover Credits (The cover is CC-BY-NC-SA): Steampunk Spider Bracer, by Daniel Proulx.

Anonymity
(Obey me! Asmodeus x male reader)It was a hassle to have a friend who was easily infatuated. This wasn't your problem, until your friend asked for a favor. One that included you placing a bundle of presents in front of someone's locker in their stead. They specifically told you not to disclose their name, wanting to create a secret admirer situation. Maybe luck liked provoking you, because getting caught and saying it was yours certainly wasn't the best situation to get caught up in........(Obey me! Asmodeus x male reader)(( do not own Obey Me! Shall We Date. Character credits go to NTT Solmare Corp.!)
