Undergraduate Essay Contests

I used to be just another college student - late-night cramming sessions, half-finished essays, and living off questionable cafeteria food. But that life ended the day the warning came. It wasn’t a voice, not exactly. More like a pull, a whisper in my mind, telling me the truth I never wanted to hear: I’m not who I think I am. And something dangerous is coming for me. Now, between secret guilds, cryptic riddles, and an ancient order that wants me for reasons I can’t yet understand, I’m stuck fighting to stay one step ahead. My only allies? A shapeshifter with a reckless grin, a demon with too many secrets, and a roommate who definitely knows more than she’s letting on. When a mysterious new college opens its doors - one that shouldn’t even exist - it might hold the answers I’ve been chasing. Or it might be the final piece in a puzzle that ends with my death. Some truths are better left buried. But this one won’t stay down.

Tesa, the popular girl and winner of last year's Miss Endfield (School Beauty Pageant), lives by strict rules: reputation is everything.

However, her secret is nearly exposed by Gin, a strange guy who always falls asleep. Her seemingly perfect school life begins to unravel when the finalists of last year's Miss Endfield contest experience a horrifying incident—their faces suddenly age rapidly after eating their own packed meals. Rumors of poison and sabotage spread quickly, creating a tense atmosphere. Tesa fears she might be the next target. While her friends suspect who the culprit might be, Gin remains a mysterious figure who is hard to read. Amidst the fear and suspicion, Tesa starts questioning who she can truly trust—and whether Gin knows something she hasn't realized. As rain falls amidst the tension, Tesa finally realizes one thing: the guy with the goggles might be the only one who can protect her.

Jiang Li, the legitimate daughter of a noble house, has traveled through time, becoming an insignificant character in a domineering CEO romance, who quickly meets her demise. Confronted with the most saintly female lead and the domineering male lead of the novel, Jiang Li instantly decides to stay away from these two 'idiots', focusing instead on making her own family illustrious. What to do with her genuine brother, who plays a lovestruck second male lead and is a complete wastrel? Jiang Li ships him off to a transformational variety show where the prodigal son becomes instantly famous, eventually becoming a movie emperor; What about the illegitimate younger brother who's always acting like a goody two shoes to win favor in the family? Jiang Li leads by example as the top student, turning the faker into a model student, and paves his way from undergraduate to doctoral studies; And what of her autistic cousin who constantly locks himself away in a dark room, weeping? Jiang Li prescribes the right remedy, turning the melancholic poet into the king of songs at the Temple of Heaven, his love ballads bringing millions of young girls to tears; Thus, the once wavering and declining noble Jiang family rises under Jiang Li's management, becoming the most respected and well-mannered leading family in the capital. The first time Jiang Li meets that man, he had just finished chasing a herd of runaway cows, his face redder than the sun with high altitude flush. He extends his hand to her with a grin, introducing himself, "Hello, I am Zhao Daniu." Jiang Li stares at his muddy hand, still emitting an unidentified smell: "......" A silent rejection, thank you. Upon their next encounter, he has transformed completely, now the distinguished and formidable heir of the Gu family, his presence as refreshing as a breeze in the moonlight, peerlessly noble. He extends his hand again: "Hello, I am Gu Yu, I hear your family is in need of a man to take charge, do you think I'm suitable?" All members of the Jiang family leap out: "No! We don't need one!"

Saoirse Murphy works dough during the day and tends to injuries at night, trapped in a deteriorating bakery in Queens and burdened by her father's gambling debts. When he disappears, taking her life’s savings with him and selling her virginity to New York’s most dangerous crime lord, survival requires a harsh decision: yield to Diego Villanueva’s desires for three months or be sold to traffickers. Diego, a man shaped by ice and revenge, demands obedience, not the sharp-witted baker who contests his every directive. Blindsided by his opulent realm of tailored suits and blood-stained diamonds, Saoirse unveils secrets darker than her father's wrongdoings. Diego’s empire is on the brink of collapse, his adversaries closing in, and her defiance sparks a perilous game. As their confrontations escalate into reckless desire, she reveals the wounds beneath his brutality, and he discovers her resilience is a force that no restraint can suppress. However, allegiance comes at a cost. When her father reappears and Diego’s foes threaten their fragile bond, Saoirse must choose: escape with the fragments of her broken dreams or stand beside a man who consumes everything he encounters. Love is a formula for destruction. Or the sole ingredient that can redeem them both.

[Webnovel Rising Star ll Contest] What will you do if you are the younger brother of the number one genius under the heavens? What will you do if you know whatever you do, it will barely be a breeze before the raging flood of your brother's actions? Will you envy him, will you hate him, or will you support him and become a side character of an ever changing dangerous world? This is the situation Eugene found himself at, a boy filled with envy and jealousy toward his brother but also can't help to love him with all his heart. Unfortunately, the world never gave them time to process their complex emotions as things change everyday that seek to not just kill them but destroy their very homeland. This is a world that is barely functioning due to the illusion of hope! The more ignorant you are, the more free you are but power comes with responsibility. Knowledge comes with the dangerous realization that the future is bleak and despair is around the corner. Eugene found himself born in a world that ‘Awakened’ as they called it, humans devolved from Apex Predators centuries ago and are barely cattle for the ever evolving beasts and monsters. Two things saved the humans from extinction, and it wasn't their knowledge or weaponry; they are all useless against intelligent beasts that can do better. What saved them was some benevolent beasts that took them as servants, slaves and some as cattle for rearing. The second thing that saved them was the appearance of Gateway that led to various realms in unknown dimensions that aids them to make a pact with willing beasts. They finally gained strength and power and huddled around Gateways and built Settlements. Eugene found himself in a race against time as he dived into an unknown dimension, filled with mystery and danger that might have the answers everyone desire.
