[WP] They call it the 'Elephant's Foot', a terrifying monster that lives in a cursed metal labyrinth— and your village elder believes that it is guarding a long lost secret | The plan was going perfectly.

[WP] We invented immortality, but a seemingly random subset of the population is barred from the treatment for 'incompatibility'. Well, you just figured out what incompatible meant. | It took just one shot before I felt the burning. "How bad could it be?", "They're just hiding something from us!", "I won't lose my family!".

I couldn't tell you what convinced me in the end. Was it seeing the first steps of my daughter, knowing I had to event... | Gerald stared at the papers. The new applicant was just like the others.

[WP] You are a blacksmith, renowned not for your weapons, but for your armor and shields. One day, the King and his Royal Guards step foot into your workshop. He hands you a bag full of golden coins and gives you only one command. "Make me a shield that not a Dragon's claws nor breath could pierce." | I was busy hammering away, making a shield out of a mountain of ores.
"Goddamn Titans...and their titanic sizes...", I muttered, swapping another hammer, probably my 1000th...
It was then that I heard someone enter my workshop.
Going in the front, I saw the King and his Royal Guards.

[WP]Humans, only humans would be so insane that when they find the corpse of a god, they would look upon that vista of eldritch flesh and think "I wonder if I could eat that?" | “Eldritch Lord Elvari, are you edible?”

Adrift in the winds of summer

[WP] A noble sentenced to die is allowed to choose their execution method.

The man had been caught on some unspecified charges. My nobles wanted him to die. I suspect pure xenophobia as the reason- the man was a foreigner after all.

[WP] You wake up in a chair in a padded cell. Someone else sits across from you. A voice from a speaker in the ceiling says, "One of you is a natural person. One of you is artificial. Determine which is which. The real person gets to go free." You can't remember anything before this room. | The room is silent, except for the nervous tapping of the woman in front of me. I smile, it's not hopeless. Not yet. The room is bright and strangely cheerful. I smile and try to remain calm. The voice speaks again.
"You may begin. Test Forty Five is now in progress."
The silence continued, the woman was... | ZZZZZZZ... the sound wakes me up, someone is snoring near me. I would never admit it loud, but I know that it is my snore. Several times I’ve been woken by it. Many times, I wake... Wait, where do I woke in?

[WP] Humans have always had a tough time winning medals at the Galactic Olympics, but there is one game that they're weirdly, freakishly good at. | “And you say this is a game for your young?”
“Obviously. Come on Katth’eek, just put the mitt on and catch. That’s it.”

[WP] You're the first test subject for an experimental super soldier serum. You are told the truth only after you transform into something not quite human anymore. | It was my weekly check-in. I didn't mind. I had won the lottery.
Neuron-degenerative diseases are the worst way to go you can imagine. I had volunteered for every accursed experimental treatment on offer.
I kind of expected that to kill me *faster*.. which, at the time, that counted as an upside.
I got Lucky. I ... | I stared at my reflection in horror, unable to come to terms with what I had become.

[WP] A knight has approached the dragon's cave and, vowing to rescue you at any cost, has proclaimed his undying love for you. None of this would be out of the ordinary, if you were the princess and not the dragon that captured her. | "Sezzira! I've long adored your self-confidence, your beautiful amber eyes, and your ability to breathe a steady stream of fire for over five minutes. Your glittering scales shine brighter than the jewels of Oakhaven, and your forked tongue makes me think the most scandalous thoughts. I'm here to ask you to abscond to ... | “I shall save you, as my love for thee is undeniable and everlasting!” The knight called out boisterously.

[WP] After mistakenly transfering to a high school for monsters, you try to tell them that you're just a regular human. However, because of bizarre coincidences creating apparently inexplicable situations, the school population and teachers come to believe you're actually an Eldritch Abomination | The ride there was uneventful. Bus packed with kids my age. Some of them looked a little strange, with their eyes pointing different directions, another wiggling his tongue around every few seconds, but it was easily solved by seating myself far away from them and forgetting about it for the rest of the trip. I took a ... | An Eldritch abomination? Does anyone even know what that means?

[WP] a king has received the standard prophecy that his youngest daughter will be the one to kill him but instead of reacting as "get this baby out of my sight an abandoned it somewhere in the woods for it to die" he accepts his fate and dinner time is made very awkward | “I can’t possibly kill you, papa!” The little princess, Dayang, exclaimed at the top of her lungs. The thought of having to kill her father made her spine shiver. After all the years, King Lapu showed nothing but kindness and genuine love towards her. “I can’t… I don’t want to…”
The king lay on his bed, bedridden and ... | The king sat slumped over his bowl of soup, lifeless eyes staring forward into oblivion. “Gods, Martha. What have you done to the king?” said the king’s servant as he entered the dining hall carrying what was to be the next course.

[WP] One day, the heads of all religions in the world recieve a telepathic message. "We are the Divine Protection Service, You have been removed from the care of your god for reasons of neglect. You will be entrusted to the care of a foster god." | It was 20 December 2025. All broadcasts—television, radio, everything!—was hijacked by an extraordinary message. All screens were displaying the same text, even the ones broken or not plugged in. Entire warehouses of monitors just suddenly switched on without power supply. The white-on-black text stated

I'm not looking for a complex life, but that's really hard when life wants to make you complex. Mutants are rare in this society.

[WP] Humans are the proverbial "Sleeping Giant," and thus make remarkably good deterrents. A common tactic of the Galactic Federation is to simply call in a human warship, such as the USS "Fuck Around and, FindOut," and simply let it sit nearby. Peace Talks happen within the week. | The hustle and bustle of the bridge provides plenty of ambient noise for my thoughts. Another deployment. Somebody Fucked Up.

[WP] You've been summoned as a hero of legend to save a medieval fantasy world from evil. Same old, same old. However, it very quickly dawns on you that a medieval world's idea of "evil" is quite incompatible with what you, a modern person, would consider evil. | I gripped my sword tightly and walked towards the stone mansion hidden deep in the woods. For a den of evil and debauchery, it looked surprisingly... mundane. Yet the quest I was given upon my summoning was clear; the pleas of the distraught king apparent. Whoever - or whatever - was hiding inside this house was commit... | The night has come, the torches are lit, the crowd is chanting.
"Smite the wicked, bless the pure of heart."
The circle has been drawn with the entrails of animals, the stench is magnified by the heat, the miasma whirls as the voices get louder.
"Hunt the shadows, deliver us from evil."

[WP] A fantasy army with its generic Hollywood tactics meets a small group of Medieval Infantry who understand things like "formations" and "discipline". | It all began when the worlds colided.
How it happened or why, noone understood. But now new foes were marching through the land, alien kingdoms were demmanding new lands to expand. When king Andrew "the Conqueror" learned that a band of around 250 men had trespassed his frontiers, he expected the his army to easily fe... | Mid-day 3/2/045: "Warsong's Bridge."
A soft wind blows through the encampment as I turn the haft of my spear between my gauntlets.

[WP]You get isekai’d into a typical fantasy world with the ability to summon any weapon. You often summon typical weapons like swords, spears, maybe a gun if you need it. You finally realize fictional weapons can be summoned. | I always felt that a *proper* Isekai had three parts.
First, you were killed in the real world. And, well, in math terms? A person + a truck? Yeah, that equals a truck.
Second, you found yourself transported to a new, more magical, world. That was certainly the case. I awoke (buck naked) surrounded by thirteen chan... | My deep breathing intensified by the moment as the realization of imminent defeat approached, in the form of a Dark Lord, the size of a Troll from Lord of the Rings at least, in full black armor, with a crimson sword, filled with the blood of my soldiers, towards me.

[WP] "You never killed him! He kept committing crimes and hurting and killing people and you just LET HIM! So we, the citizens, did it FOR YOU!" The supervillain's corpse twitched as the hero asked, "Did you ever stop and wonder why? I can't help you anymore. So I'm leaving this planet. Good luck." | Adam watched in horror as the missiles crashed down at the feet of Evernight. At first the shock wave hit that send a powerful gust of force outwards from the blast zone leveling multiple buildings and sending cars flying into their air. Then the blinding light and thundering noise caught up. The world around him wa... | With a single bound, the hero rocketed up into the bright blue sky, towards the upper atmosphere.

[WP] They said that you could never save the kingdom, that you would fail and die miserably, because you were not the prophesized hero. And when you returned after saving the realm on your own, instead of welcoming you as a hero the king banished you, as it was not your place to save them. | I threw my arms over my companions when the pronouncement was made.
"It was not your place to kill the demon king. When the prophesized hero kills the demon king the land will experience peace and prosperity for the next millennia. Yet, war and famine ravages our land and destroys our people. You have robbed this chan... | (Just a friendly reminder I'm not a native English speaker)

[WP] You used to be the scourge of kingdoms, the reaper of heroes and the mere mention of your name scared even the toughest of them. But today no one remembers you and you are fine with that. You have lived in peace ever since until one day a stranger approaches you and calls you by your true name. | “Lagus.” The name is a statement, but I don’t turn around, my beer paused on its journey to my mouth. “Lagus Oryn, don’t ignore me.”
I slowly lower the cup.

[WP] You managed to retire from the supervillain game long ago, when you became a parent. Now, your grandchild has inadvertently been kidnapped by an upstart villain, and you're about to show them why the world (rightfully) feared you. | Listen. Everybody makes mistakes. I was young. I had ambitions. I genuinely thought what I was doing was right, though. I thought that by securing enough power I could mold the world into the utopian vision I'd always dreamed of. But I was blind. And my blindness led me to darker and darker places. Before long ... | His granddaughter walked out of the police station with the conclusion from her savior that she had no idea what she was doing.

[WP] “Uhh, why is the barbarian holding a skillet?” “Oh, he thinks he’s a wizard, and that skillet is the focus for his spells, like a wand.” “He has spells?” “Just one spell. Except, it’s really just him smacking someone in the head while shouting ‘I CAST IRON!!’ It’s actually rather comical.” | Stront is the son of an orc chieftain Tront and human anthropologist, Fian Dossey, whom had infiltrated the orc tribe to research for her doctoral thesis, compensating for her disregard of personal safety with grey body paint and prosthetic tusks.
