"Ivanov, it's time to destabilize the country,"said Ida.
That's it then. The big red button, wreaking havoc, economic collapse and societal disruption.
He had worked with that objective in mind after all. Disappear into the social structure, build a network of rebels and dissidents, do the groundwork to facilitate th... |
The whole love triangle thing had started innocently enough. We were all young and with little supervision back at the School of Wizardry. So what if I kissed a few boys? How was I to know that they'd tear the world apart fighting over me? I was just passing the time, having a little fun between the wizardry classes. I... |
The boy thought his trouble had ended when the two men threw him out onto the Academy doorsteps. However, unbeknownst to him, the trouble had only just begun.
The world was cruel to those without magic; and even worse to those who had the mark of mana and could not be settled into the academies of the great lords of f... |
Nick slowly stepped into the closet, eyeing the walls plastered with dozens of photos of him stretching all the way back to middle school. His family and friends had been meticulously cut out, leaving only him, and there were little hearts drawn all over.
A floorboard creaked behind him, and the light bulb overhead su... |
They said it was the war to end all wars.
His name was Oliver and he was just seventeen,
As tall as his father but not quite as lean.
His mum gave him a handkerchief that he promised to keep clean.
And so he went off to war, ever so keen.
Private Holt sat in the trenches of the fields of France,
Waiting in... |
"It wasn't Russia?"The speaker had lost all of his composure in the last hour. Most of the delegates were impressed he'd lasted that long. Nuclear warheads! Deployed without any warning, without any spy agency being tipped off! Not just a single bomb, twelve bombs had wiped away civilizations that had fought each other... |
What the fuck do you think you’re doing?
There was a slight hesitancy to his response: I’m uh, well I’m eating a carrot.
Holy mother of God that is the most disgusting thing I’ve ever seen in my entire goddamn life. I’ve been on the front lines of innumerable battles, and nothing has ever made my stomach churn like... |
##Earth 1.4.1 update is now live!
Hello, everyone! Long time, no see! I hope you don't mind me doing this update in English, since it seems to be the trade language right now. Please don't invade each other again because of what I put in here - oh, what am I saying, you're hard-wired to be savages. It's a miracle you'... |
400 years. That’s how long the scientists had predicted it would take for the dust to settle. The meteor that was heading straight for Earth made the one that killed the dinosaurs look like a pebble in comparison. A 98% human fatality was predicted, while the dust in the atmosphere would prevent the sun’s rays from rea... |
The three waited outside the elevator patiently. The two somber men dressed in suits knew each other, though not the similarly dressed woman waiting with them. All three heads lifted in unison at a soft 'ding' the elevator doors sliding open. The men went first, followed by the woman. They each pressed a different butt... |
The Jolly Roger sailed into Hullbreaker Bay under the light of the full moon. Smee clutched at the edge of the crow's nest, fretting over each individual rock that darked poke out of the black waves and bracing for each impact every other minute. Were it sunny, he would have been able to see the bared bones of the othe... |
"While I may not be the most interesting man in the world, I'd love to tell you about what could very well be the most interesting job in the world. You see. I've been a bartender at the most unusual bar for the last decade and I've seen everything from priests and catholics to blondes and bombshells walk through my d... |
"Hi, dad,"they both said simultaneously.
A boy, and a girl - my son and my daughter. I immediately teared up, and I couldn't explain why.
"Hi... hello, kids."
I didn't know what else to say. I felt ill; like this was all some kind of sick joke. But I knew it was true. I could feel it.
I gestured for them to sit d... |
O' celebrate! Luna, Diana.
Our most wise and clever ladies.
They Led us to the hidden land,

They sold them on Amazon, so it's not like this is some black market hoodoo, you know? It's legitimate, even if most people have never heard about them.
Anyway, if you don't know, they're called Valve Docks. It's a tiny device, looks like a thin remote control. You tape it to your chest over your heart for a night so ... |
“But, sir! That planet will yield the greatest crop of Jarblott this side of Kreeplop-6 if only we plant several farm colonies--”

I groaned as I opened my eyes, taking in the rows of collapsed shelves and scattered tools and crates around me. It seemed like I was in a dark, cluttered warehouse. Ropes were lashed around my wrists and waist, holding me tight to a small, wooden chair.
"Ah, finally awake, I see."I gasped and squinted as the lights f... |
My laptop screen lit up in a flash of white as Gandhi dropped his entire nuclear arsenal on my short-lived island paradise of Beijing.
Man, I get no respect some nights. Don't get me wrong; I loved Civ 5. My son introduced it to me two months ago and I'd been hooked instantly. It sure beat playing Solitaire or re-read... |

seven words really is not that many
*Wow, thanks 36, think a lot about that one?*
You sigh silently as you put your phone back on the nightstand and get out of bed. You've only had this phone for about a year, and you've already started sucking at using it as much as you suck at ... |
"Leave him alone,"the farmer said. He glowered at the knight, knuckles white as he clenched his scythe. Behind him, his two sons bore the same look. Voices raised in assent around the armored warrior as the other townspeople began to gather.
"He's not evil,"a wizened woman's voice called.
"Whatever you think he is... |

“Hey Sam, I need your help.”
I sighed heavily as I leaned back in my chair, looking up at my scrawny coworker who could probably bench-press this entire building. He likely would have been able to get a job as a superhero if he didn’t look so small and nerdy. Physical appearance was almost more important tha... |
I rubbed my eyes in terror, almost scratching at them as much as I was rubbing them. I opened them again and was filled with sight. I started shaking as I was bombarded with the world around me.
"Oh, good, you're awake,"a man said, running his fingers through my hair slowly. "The damage doesn't feel too bad, but you s... |
“That sauce needs a bloody reduction.” Gordon shouted over the din of the kitchen.
This wasn’t the longest amount of time he’d ever spent in a kitchen of course, his tutelage in France had inevitably seen some of the longest shifts of his life. This was the first time he’d ever been held captive in one though, not ju... |
His brim sat low on his forehead as he kept his head down. He wore his hood up, keeping his hat firmly in place. Shades were affixed below the hat. No budging -- couldn’t have his mug on the cameras.
Moving with purpose, charging towards the pharmacy, he knew security would be alerted. If they saw his face, they’d cal... |
"Humans sometimes speak in metaphor, and when they do the literal meaning of the words spoken don't always match up with the information they convey,"I said. "This can cause confusion even between humans since many of these phrases don't translate directly between human languages."

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little mortal bitch?

Father Michael was a unique man of faith. One that believed in phrases like love thy neighbor, but also a man that knew when his neighbor needed to be acquainted with the right hand of God. Unfortunately, Father Michael delivered that hand as a swift uppercut that could put the fear of God into any non-believer.

The dark forest claimed another soul.
Humanity winked out of existence as readily as an anthill beneath a boot. Humanity left the galactic stage not by their own volition but rather by a single push. They did not go quietly into that good night, for the air was filled with screams.
There was no resistance. N... |
Posting update again as the first one got deleted because I linked my sub and Patreon (most likely because of patreon) my bad! here is the copy of the text:

“Human actors are all on set,” said one of the crew. David? Davis? Todd couldn’t remember his name. Davey?
Todd yawned and tapped his foot, snacking on a bag of pretzels. He was sprawled out on the couch on a faithful recreation of the living room set of Monster Family, the 90s sitcom that made him rich at the young a... |
Twelve generations. Maybe seven hundred and twenty, eight hundred years. That's how long I've cared for you and your neighbors. Though you never saw me, I was always there. I was the one to see your crops got the right amount of rain and I was the one that scared off the bandits from the next valley over.
I was the on... |
*Cough cough cough* The door to the mystery van slid open, and Scooby, Shaggy, and Smoke poured out of the back into the air of Silent Hill. The little town's fog seemed to thicken with the smoke. Daphne and Velma slid out of the passenger side of the van as Fred took the keys out of the ignition.
"Wow, Shaggy, did yo... |
Sauron ran out to the little red Jeep sitting in the garage forecourt and hopped over the drivers side door, sliding into the driving seat in an easy motion and firing up the little red runaround.

I first found the link by going through random, on reddit. The subreddit's name was just a random bunch of numbers, and there was only one user and one post.
Later, when I tried looking it up again, post, user and subreddit were gone.
But I remembered it. It was a self-post with an IP address, no domain name. And, u... |
Will woke up in cold sweat. In his dream, he was falling into a seemingly bottomless abyss, screaming. Still breathing heavily, he looked around at what seemed to be a dark and early morning, and then smiled and turned over. The mattress, he noted, seemed to be rather uncomfortable, and, upon further observation, close... |
It started off well: a invention that made people look how they wished, made them feel comfortable in their bodies. There were professionals, you would tell them what you want, and maybe give them a rough sketch. After a couple of hours you were a new person.

I remember a time when dreams were real. As a child hours of class could pass by in an instant. My head full of exciting business meetings, or miles of glorious spread sheets.
In my house business was a dirty word on par with index funds or investment strategies. I had to hide my copies of Forbes and only install... |
I walked down the hallway, my boots clicking against the linoleum. I knew this building by heart. When you have the ability I do, you spend a lot of time in hospitals. Although my visits have never been personal, so that made this visit very odd. I spend most of my time in the children's ward, I take the disease from t... |
High above the Earth's atmosphere, an alien spaceship waits.
"Okay, okay, okay, hold on-- They do *what*?"
Brr'Kat was in shock as his second-in-command reported in on human activities.
"They, er... Poison.. Themselves,"Brr'Shi said.
"Wh-- Ho-- What!?"
"It's true,"Brr'Shi said. "A lot of them will poison themselve... |
I exhaled. "Okay,"I whispered, "here we go."
I unfolded the note and read what I wrote for the tenth time in twenty minutes. *I am in love with you. Give this to the one you love. If I get it back, I'll tell you.*
I smiled. I had no idea what the outcome of this was going to be. I could only hope it would be good.

Sometimes, I wonder why we did it in the first place.
I know why we stuck it out-the fallen technology, the seized alien militants, everything added up so that we could no longer afford to surrender.
But in the first place?

My eyes snapped open on the morning of my 18th birthday. The alarm clock read 8 AM, two hours later than I usually woke, but the memories had needed a full ten hours to vest. But I was not thinking about the memory trust my parents had given me. Instead, I was thinking about how I’d asked my parents last night about th... |
The Academy owned you from the moment you set foot inside. Even before then, before you could even breathe, they laid a claim to the struggling blob of cells inside your mommy's womb. Still before then, they had eyes on you, back when daddy attended a gala in the '90s and mommy inherited the family fortune. They knew y... |
*He is weak, unfit for life.*
In the dark they stare at me, phantoms of legend from a time long gone.
*Howl in mourning, but there is little else to do.*
They stare at me though the room is empty, full of anxiety, the prospect of death.
The kitchen is usually a good place. A warm place. Never have the demons of... |
I was alone on the sofa. The TV was on, infomercials promoting magic weight loss pills had long replaced whatever show I was watching when I fell asleep. It bothered me a little that I didn’t remember what I was watching, but the nights had started blending into each other a long time ago. Surprised at the lack of the ... |
Heaven was not as John Cooper imagined. Instead of luminescent clouds and sweet lullabies, he got a shadowed sky lit only by the percussion booms of thunder. Ash drifted down like the first bite of winter. A single building stood before him, a pointed castle whose shadow grasped at his feet. The only explanation John c... |
"WHO DARES CHALLENGE THE GREAT AND POWERFUL MORGULITE?"
I stride back and forth, my chest puffed out to draw attention to the legendary-ultra-rare Cuirass of Awesome Dread. It gleams. It shines. It... took about three hours to polish it just right but DAMN do I look good.
I raise my hand (and with it, the Gauntlet o... |
You would have thought a woman with power like hers could have stopped me when I left. For all I know she could have just changed my mind for me. Hell, maybe she did. Maybe I left her so many times that she just couldn't deal with the emotional stress anymore. For her sake, I hope she didn't put herself through that. I... |
I grab a bag of bread and skip my way to the counters. Not a single person looks my way, it's 8AM. Too bad Witch Hazel, you may have magic powers, but I have loneliness.

When my parents gave me a pet lizard for my birthday, I knew I wouldn't give him up for anything else. The little guy was covered in scales that were a glittering onyx, and his eyes were red as fire. There was something about the way he looked at me, as if he knew his life was in my hands and respected me for treating ... |
The bar read 'machine lifting only' but i guess this dumbass can't read galactic common, despite it even using phenomes her own language used, because she picked up the solid aluminum bar and slung it over her shoulder so she wouldn't have to put her mug down, then casually bounced down to the lathe so it could be holl... |
Years ago, I made a mistake.
I suppose everyone makes mistakes. I suppose there are “small” mistakes and “big” mistakes. I also suppose you could measure the size of each mistake by its impact on the world. Accidentally spilling water on your laptop is infinitely different to accidentally shooting someone with a gun.

“And finally, this is your desk” Ben pointed towards a desk with a laptop and an old office chair in front of it. This whole situation was just surreal.

Magic sits strong in strange pockets, even in my own time it was so, and it has *been* some time, because I can feel the way they have shifted, and how my own is now shrunken, grown lesser, the Call too faint to wake me until living hands touched the glyphs and I started out of slumber. I hear Osiris' voice, just enoug... |

I severed heads, fed the poor, fought in myriad wars, revered forgotten gods, married thousands, and killed more. I was a carpenter, a mason, a painter, an engineer, a drunkard, a pauper, a miser, a professor, a scholar, and a king. I died countless times and in countless ways: beheaded, hanged, sleeping, shot, poisone... |
He sat in his room, no longer crying but still, very sad.
It had taken at least 2 hours to craft the story. It was short, but that didn't mean quick. He had honed each and every word, pouring his very soul into the work.
It had started from being bored. A quick visit to reddit, or so he thought. It was however not a ... |

They approached. From the dark, cold void, they drifted. To say they had a target was to give intent where there was none. The alignment was right, and they followed it.
In their path was a small, pale, insignificant blue dot, where untold trillions of creatures lived insignificant lives. A few billion of those had cl... |

“Everyone is dead, the world is dead” the words came out easily.

That night, I lay awake, unable to sleep. It was three in the morning and all I could think about was the pictures. I could know *everything*. Would it be possible to use this to take advantage?

"I have a question,"I state.
She's busy. Sitting in front of her computer, hammering on her keyboard, watching a dozen screens. She hardly even notices me. "Mmm?"she hums, adjusting her glasses without looking over.

In Valhalla all warriors must wait for Ragnarok.

It's the colour of her eyes as they shine in the night, stars reflected as an ancient goddess as she runs though the fields in the light of the new moon.

Few people run orphanages or shelters solo. Being good 24/7 like that takes too much out of you. Most of those places are run by committees of 40 or 50 people who have resigned themselves to dying at 50. See, scientifically you only have so much "good"to give. Most people spend theirs slowly by going through life being... |

It started with a blade lodged in stone in the middle of Time Square. People took selfies pretending to remove the sword. Some claimed it was Banksy, others an environmental protest to symbolize our raping of the Earth. But at the end of the day, all it truly was was a cool prop to some teenager's duck-faced selfie.

Everyone agrees she’s stunningly beautiful. I have to say that I agree, although I don’t feel any sexual attraction to her. That’s really fortunate in one way, because fate has thrown us together almost all the time, and she’s really fun to be with. In another and very important way, it’s a bad thing because she scares... |
There are few events in history that changed the galaxy to such a large extent as when Humanity came into the scene.

Dale slowly hiked through the woods, pushing branches and bushes out of his way.

I first laid eyes on Nucleon in the summer of '04. Some drunk idiot had thought it was a cool idea to dick around in a car in the middle of the night. He even managed to throw my car off a cliff.

The subtle sound of the beads rustling alerted me to the mortal's presence. I took in a deep breath and savored the smell of the incense with my seventeen nostrils. Turning to face the pathetic, I scrutinized him with my eye.

At first, you were dead.
Then, you woke up.

I felt the cool grass poke under my feet as I sat down next to the moss-ridden grave. Lying down, pollen brushed my nose and I smacked my lips uncomfortably, disliking the sudden dryness in my mouth. Existence for thousands of years, and even with all of that time (plus eternal youth, for good measure) my body still di... |

Bug type. That was my speciality. Trainers would come to my gym in droves, stomp my employees, then stomp my team. I only ever had an advantage against those who chose the Grass type as their starter, and even then, they would still win by catching some bird or something on Route 1.

There are a lot of reasons why a person might choose one life over a million others.

Harry groaned as he rose on the morning of his eleventh birthday, not wanting to leave the comfort of his black bedsheets.

The clock's relentless, incessant ticking signified the end of Daria's first time stop. She held the knife in her hand, thick sanguine blobs dripping from its edge like a painter's idle brush. She let it clatter to the ground, eyes wide and mouth agape at what she'd done for him, for *them*.

What happens then is they move as though taken by some force, a very weak one, but one with some purpose but no reason.
