[WP] You were unlike the saints and saintesses of other nations. You granted no miracles, and didn't heal any illnesses. They didn't know when they banished you in favor of a new saint that you had been pouring every fiber of your being into a blessing of protection for the nation your entire life. | "If that is what you have decided your majesty then I shall go," I said, "But I do wish you the best with your new saint." I give a polite curtsy before leaving the throne room.

[WP] You are isekai'd into a world of magic, you are the hero, at the request of the kingdom, you defeat the demon king, destroy the abyss armies, and even slay the dragon lord, all under promise that you will get to return home. Ultimately, they tell you, they don't know how to send you back. | One would expect an angry reaction, but after going through and doing so much killing, the amount sacrificed just to stay alive, I was broken. I simply teleported away, and took the time off to myself. I just decided to just go through and build a house in the woods, and live my life there instead till they found me ... | "Liars! Liars and traitors the lot of you!!" I cried out, "You swore I'd go back, that this nightmare would end!!

[WP] "Look," said the demon. "This is the 13th time you've summoned me to sell your soul. My boss wants to know where you're getting all these souls." | I looked pleadingly into his sulphur eyes, squiriming about in my seat. I shuddered and my facial muscles melted, unwilling to open up. A tall, humanoid thing, with 8 arms, the body of two men, and a handsome, owl-like face, domineered over my body, as smoke billowed out its tiny nostrils.

Jeriah had fallen from God eternities ago, banished from His kingdom before he had even gotten there. However, contrary to popular belief, Jariah had taken to his new home quite well.

Gargoroth is a powerful, reality bending god who has done terrible things. Every hero deployed to defeat him has died horrifically. I've been told to use this new-fangled hyper-dimensional gun to shoot him.

[WP] One day anyone who turned 18 was given a superpower of their choice. The only problem, they worked like usernames with only one person having that specific superpower. This created chaos, with the first gen almost ending the world. You’re a fifth generation user, and it was now your birthday | Getting a superpower may seem cool, but by the time my generation came of age it was much different than you would expect.

[WP] After you gave your master the standard 3 wishes, you told him to leave the lamp in a place like a women’s shelter or a homeless camp. Instead he sold your lamp to the highest bidder and now you are determined to twist the 3 wishes to the detriment of both your current and former master. | For centuries, I have served as a genie, bound to the lamp and the whims of my masters.

[WP] "Dragon, I've come to slay you!" Confused, you look at the unarmored child pointing a wooden sword at you. | “Dragon, I’ve come to slay you!” The high-pitched voice echoed through the cavern, startling me awake.

[WP] An angry magician cursed a city, turning all the residents into the first animal they thought of. Not powerful enough, it only lasted for a day, and the people surprisingly had fun. A year later they offered to pay the magician to do it again and to make him the leader of the celebration. | The magician tapped his fingers on the table with a modicum of nervousness as he stared down the several town officials and guardsmen sitting across from him. He didn't feel exactly safe given the recent events but was afeared of what should happen if he didn't allow for a conversation.
The officials stared back with ... | The characteristic alarm blared.

All I could think about was me walking to the counselors office.

[WP] You pretend to be a small-time villain. At most, you annoy the local supers but your crimes never hurt anyone. To you it's all good fun.

[WP] You are the child of two famous superheroes and their nemesis has kidnapped you in the hopes of getting under their skin. A week later your parents still haven't come to rescue you. | *They’re not coming.*
I sighed as the realization sunk in, no one was coming for me. Logically it made sense, I mean, I was a joke of a hero. They called me Gizmo since I was really only good for teach support.

[WP] During one of your nightly walks, you stumble across a man struggling to rig the underside of a bridge with explosives. He also spots you and the two of you just stare at each other awkwardly, as both of you clearly don't know how to handle the situation or what to do next. | Minding my own business on my nightly stroll down the riverbed I see a flashlight shifting under the bridge that leads into the city.

[WP] An elf goes out on a ‘short errand’, forgetting that 30 years is a long time to have left his human wife and child at home. | In terms of lifespans, elves were generally accepted to be functionally immortal. The oldest known, was around 9000 years old but there are rumors of sages over a 100,000 years old.
It was also widely known that this was not natural but a result of the largest ritual in recorded history.

[WP] The power of a spell is inversely proportional to the amount of words in its name. You, hated and exiled, invented the first single word spell: | I'll be honest- it was a complete accident.

[WP] "One drip of this poison is enough to kill a whale." The scientist points towards a table, but the beaker isn't there. Instead a silly coffee cup shaped like a beaker sits. You lower the not coffee cup from your mouth. Tastes like lemon-lime. | "Wait, it what?"
That I had made an embarrassing mistake nearly went without saying. That the scientists washed their dishes with the lab equipment, this mistake *couldn't* go without saying, so I said it:

"Christ Carl, no; you're fine, you're not a whale, are you? One drop will kill a whale, it would take like a gallon to kill a human. You should really be more careful about what you drink though."

[WP] You got a rug designed to look like an Ouija board as a gift. Liking it, you placed it in your living room. Now your roomba's summoned a demon and it can't leave until the roomba asks for something. | Samantha didn't believe in the supernatural, much less the afterlife, until one day when she was gifted an Ouija board rug as a gift from an awfully strange friend. At first, it was all fine. The rug looked nice. Just needed a good cleaning, leading Samantha to put her Roomba on the rug to give it a good clean, only fo... | I received a rug designed to look like an Ouija board as a gift and, liking it despite its overt macabre feel, I placed it in my living room.

[WP] You are an assassin with a reputation for pulling of very public hits without being noticed. You achieve this not by being extremely stealthy, but by making sure that your kills are so absurd and ridiculous that no one would ever believe the witnesses if they told their stories. | I remember my first kill vividly. I had my back against a wall near an alley. I was out of sight—and invisible wire held in my hand. The man was walking across the street when another stranger just happen to trip because of yours truly. The stranger fell in a way that tripped the other man.

[WP] You find a perfect human skull while picking flowers one day, so you bring it home and use it as a flower holder. But seemingly overnight, the flowers become one with the skull, making it a new body | Wife: Honey… That skull you put the flowers in? It wasn’t moving yesterday was it?
Husband: Noooo… why?

[WP] The title of Archmage can only be held by the pinnacle of each magical field, who have spent decades perfecting their magic. As a young genius who invented a new field of magic, you have significantly lowered the average age of archmages. | We slowly settled into our throne like seats - each chair covered in different coloured gems to indicate our speciality…trying not to glance at the leather, oddly shaped construct kept in…rainbow, opals decorating the metal parts.

[WP] Nearly all your life you lived on the streets. People ignored you at best and reviled you at worst. Then you got superpowers and those same people begin to lecture you about “altruism,” “duty,” and “responsibility.” | "... which is why we are extending an offer for you to join us in combating these terrible foes."
I made a show of thinking about it, but I already had my answer, "Nah."

[WP] You're immortal, and have passed the 'hero' phase centuries ago. You enter a small coffee shop one day to find that it's owned by your millennia-old arch-nemesis. You really, really just want a chai latte though. | A door opens, the little bell chimes and I'm awash with easy listening lift-worthy easy listening inoffensive jazz.
I shuffle along to the counter and order "One chai latte please". That's when I notice the eyes. The only problem with a disguise is that it's always a self-portrait. And the eyes always give it away.

You can't put your finger on it, you try to shake it off.

[WP] An angry magician cursed a city, turning all the residents into the first animal they thought of. Not powerful enough, it only lasted for a day, and the people surprisingly had fun. A year later they offered to pay the magician to do it again and to make him the leader of the celebration. | The detective pushed his way through the crowd on the front lawn towards the front door with a disposeable coffee cup in one hand and his badge in the other.

[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. | I'm sure you heard the general concept before.
We finally reached the stars. We met alien life; a Galactic Community, even! They took a quick glance at our history and came to an uncomfortable realization.

[WP] The Elven Kingdoms call their old allies the Humans for aid. Expecting medieval armies, they get a modern 21st century one instead. | The elves have faded from the human world. Your writer, Tolkien, got that almost right.

For years he had wandered among the paths of the fae, and listened t... | With me, the last of the refugees hurriedly run, their eyes wide with terror as my men and I escort them through the city towards the temple.

[WP] You wished to find a dragon to slay for its treasure. Now you're not sure how to feel seeing a thumb-sized dragon try to drag its single shiny copper coin with it as it runs away from you. | The heavily armoured man sat down at the bar with a heavy sigh.
"Ale," he commanded simply. The bartender, knowing his disposition just from the tone, obliged.
"Rough day?" he asked and started pointlessly polishing a wooden mug.
"A rumour of a dragon that turned out..." the warrior sighed. "Wasn't what I was expect... | The light glances of the coin as I watch.
This? *This* is the reason I trained so hard?

[WP] You used to be a powerful and feared supervillain, now retired and set for life. Now, there's a 20-something at your door begging you to teach them to control their rare power since it's the same as yours. They even know your villain name. | She dropped to her knees, words a faint whisper of breath. "Please. Please help me."
This in and of itself was unusual as A, she wasn't even human right now, and B, no one had even come close to finding her in the last 20 years. Well, not necessarily correct, plenty of people knew where Shadow, the black panther who l... | Workflow, quite possibly the worlds most successful villain, was enjoying his early retirement when a someone knocked on his door.

[WP] Instead of being a super villain like your parents, you ended up joining a company. Now your wildly successful and quite frankly much more closer to world domination than your parents. Your parents can't handle it. | I remember how pissed they’d been when I signed up with Denver Medical. Don’t get me wrong, flying around in a supersuit, plotting fiendinsh schemes and sinister plots had been fun… but then I grew up. It was too late for my parents, they were in too deep. They still claimed it was about world domination, but these day... | How to make sure your parents hate you so much that they want to murder you?

Or simply, why? Short and sweet. It conveys every emotion, asks every question and has just three letters. Isn't the English language fantastic?

[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. | I was a good man who made the world a safer place. Throughout my entire career, I never killed anyone, even if some of that filth couldn't possibly be referred to as human. I merely saw that monsters were brought to justice and received what they deserved. It felt oh so good, and somehow I was seen as a villain.

[WP] You muster up the courage to ask your dwarven friend why you don't see any female dwarves around. He laughs. | “See that dwarf over there?” He asks, still looking amused and red-faced from his laughing fit.
“Yes,” I say, somewhat confused, looking at a burly dwarf man with an impressive, braided beard.
“That’s a female!” He says, laughing again at my confused expression.
“But… but that dwarf has a bigger beard than you!” ... | I knew him for three decades already...and ever since the first day, he always swooned over his wife.
After hearing for so long about his family...and visiting so many dwarven cities, and fortresses, my curiosity could be no longer shackled.

[WP] 5 years ago, you accidentally ran over a poor school student with your truck. You've carried the guilt all that time until one day, that very student knocks on your door, awoken from their coma. Rather than being angry, they thank you for inspiring their bestselling fantasy series | "AARRGGHH!!" i awoke with a scream, memories of last night flood through my mind.

Things change when a truly sadistic super villain invades your turf and murders a few of the supers. No one has seen the extent of your true powers until now. | He went by the name Smackdown.
Of course, there were many more names he’d been given over the years (not given, *earned,* he’d proclaim), by groaning, irritated heroes and villains alike.

[WP] One can easily distinguish a true veteran adventurer from the masses, for one doesn’t fear those who show to the start of a dungeon with gleaming weapons and polished armor, but those who show up wearing casual clothing, looking like they just got done shopping in town not 5 minutes earlier. | "Is that a carpenters hammer?"
Bob smiled. "Keen eyes, dear leader," he said. "I couldn't find my sword so I borrowed this from my neighbor." Garrick the Stern looked Bob up and down.

[WP] The year is 1901, and Napoleon has escaped for the fifth time. However, the European powers have a trick up their sleeve; the freshly resurrected first chancellor of Germany, Bismarck. Prepare for Napoleonic Wars Part Two: Electric Waterloo. | "Thank you for calling Clean Robotics. How may I direct your call?

[WP] Your life flashed before your eyes, and you saw something you didn’t remember. Now you seek near-death experiences so you can find the truth. | I tell the therapist all about it: how many minutes I was dead for before they got my heart pumping again; how I hadn’t even been forty when it happened. *Not even* f*orty*, I tell her. *There can’t be anything natural about almost dying pre-forty. If you have a heart-attack before forty then there’s something else goi... | “Is this about that man again? I was hoping we might have been able to move past that topic this week.

[WP] The wizard in your party only knows one spell. It's effective, but even the assassin feels bad about it. | "I just feel like I don't have any direction in my life. I go through the motions, robbing travelers and all that, but what do I get out of it?

[WP] "And so I was cursed with immortality. Cursed to walk the earth for eternity, never aging past twenty five and never dying." "How old are you, then?" "...Seventy. It was quite recent actually." | "Seventy?"
"Yeah."
"For real?"
"Yeah."
"Not thousands of years?"
"No, like I told you it has been fourty-five years, I'm seventy."

[WP] There is a dungeon deemed "coughing baby easy", used by everyone to train rookies, test spells, and as a hangout spot for ordinary children. A roaming frenzied super monster from the MOST dangerous region just took one look at it, froze, became scarily aware of where it was, then fled. | The dungeon was known far and wide as the one used for training. Officially, the name was "The Old Grotto," But it had visitors from all over, and the name varied based on the location they came from. Usually it was translation mishaps, "Elderly Cavern" or the like. Everyone knew what was being talked about.

[WP] Once in a lifetime you get to select 3 words to describe you, and those traits are relatively normal amongst others, like “Strong, Fast and smart.” You don’t pick 3 different adjectives however, you make a 3-word sentence. | "Excellent at everything." You decide, staring up at the formless creature above you.
The dark creature watches you with fascination, though how you know this you don't know. The creature has no eyes. It looms closer to you, almost a metre away.
"That's not 3 words..." It booms, tone thoughtful rather than the anger... | You choose, without hesitation you say, I am I. You say it out loud and all the air leaves the room.

[WP] The king has been acting a bit strange lately; specifically, he has obviously been possessed by a demon. The thing is, while the demon is very bad at pretending to be the king, it is otherwise a much better ruler than the king ever was, so everyone is playing along with it. | Being a butler in the Kings castle can be dangerous. Especially when the King is possessed by a demon.
I'm almost certain that the king wants to be found out and denounced.
He keep leaving blatant hints when he speaks.
"The *devil* is in the details".
"The road to *Hell* is paved with good intentions."
And yet he... | One morning, when one of the servants went to greet our king at the usual time of rising, there was an otherworldly scream.

[WP] Your fairy godmother isn't a wise old woman or cute and small with wings. She's dressed in a business suit, holding a briefcase and coffee cup, and has a very no-nonsense attitude. | Ta tap. Ta Tap. Ta Tap. Ta Tap.
Once upon a time those sounds triggered a sharp relief of joy. Musical, a small metal tip ricocheting off hard ground. They triggered a new sense in me now- relief, with a little apprehension.
Little Ryan didn’t recognise the sound and looked around, surprised and unable to fin... | Long ago, before the Earth died, the Chinese used a drop of water to torture their enemies.

[WP] instead of the typical angel and devil people have on their shoulders influencing their decisions, you have a hype man and a nihilist. | War, War Never Changes.
This was held as a universal truth.

[WP] The men in your family die the moment they turn 18, due to a curse cast on one of your ancestors by a witch. You turned 18 a week ago and are still living, and as a result a descendant of the witch has arrived to figure out why you didn't die. | It has been a few days since my 18th birthday, almost a week in fact. This is something that was not supposed to happen. Which is why an ancient enemy has decided to meet me.

One dark day my five times great grandfather ran across the wrong witch. He was a player to say the least, he charmed her then left making it clear he did not care for the witch.

[WP] You have found a peaceful village. The angel on your shoulder is enraged, however, and is demanding you slaughter everyone there. The devil on your shoulder looks genuinely afraid of the angel but also has no clue why they're so mad. | "I'm sorry, what?" Del blinked the afternoon sun out of his eyes, thinking he'd misheard. He'd long been 'blessed' with advice from a celestial entity, but their messaging had usually been fairly clear. Minimize harm, maximize good, help people because it's right and good. The last thing he was expecting from that side... | After the villagers presented me with my room and wished me a good night I gladly thanked them and set down my sword near the bed before waving goodbye as the girls giggled and closed the door.

[WP] The morning after your birthday wish to "Make the world a better place" you wake in a strange realm. A voice begins, "Don't be alarmed, I'm part of the Fae that grant wishes. The best way for you to improve the world was to remove you from it." | When my eyes shot open I was no longer in my bed, but rather laid out in a soft field of green. "Why am I here?" I spoke aloud to the sky as I looked to my strange new surroundings. To blue colored hills and lush plains, to trees of purples and pinks. To an unnatural forest weaved across the land set in by a sky with a... | “The best way for you to improve the world was to remove you from it.” Her tone was soft; non-judgemental.

[WP] After years of training, a farm boy becomes a knight and slays the dragon. He returns home to find a wealthy nobleman has taken the throne and married the princess. | The heavy boots rung in the Great Hall, as the young man walked towards the throne, to the seated, slightly rotund noble.
The young man stopped, and briefly nodded to the noble. While protocol clearly stated the young man should bow, somehow nobody seemed to react.

[WP] "So, Hero, who will you save; The love of your life, or the bus of innocent civilians?" "The civilians." "...What?" "I choose the civilians." | "Why?"
"What do you mean why? What kind of psycho prioritises one life over many just because they happen to have feelings for that one? That's madness"
"But..."
The hero had stopped listening and sped off towards the bus. The villain was dumbfounded for a moment but rallied. He freed the hero's love to gloat.
"Wel... | Like animals in a zoo, people pressed their faces, their hands, their bodies, to the grubby windows of the yellow bus. Sobs and screams alike rent the air as the civilians struggled, a mass of panic.

[WP] A dragon has stolen the sheep from the nearby village, and as such, the villagers assume all their sheep have been eaten. They want you, a knight, to take revenge on the dragon for them. However, when you meet the dragon, you find they took the sheep for a very different reason… | You pause, at the sight of the flock of very much alive sheep. Associating humans with food and the cave being without grass, they crowd you with plaintive urgent bleats.
Momentarily stumbled by the mob, you only noticed the dragon when it was face to face with you.

[WP] An agoraphobic princess is a extremely sick and tired of all knights who are breaking into her castle and trying to slay her emotional support dragon. | "Out! NOW!"
The knight before me reached out his hand, ignoring what I had just said to him as he replied, "Princess Andrea, you need not be afraid! I can get us out of the castle before the dragon wakes--"
I slapped the knight with the back of my hand and yelled, "Shut up and listen to me, you damned moron! I don't ... | "Boru!" Princess Beatrice yelled from her tower, as her draconic companion was slashed once again by the knight's blade.

[WP] Long ago, you tricked a demon into giving you immortality. Enraged, the demon placed a curse on you. Every door you walk through takes you to a different place, but never where you want to go. Several years later, you're just trying to get back home. | At this point, I don't even know which universe, plane, or dimension I have arrived in.
It's been almost a century since I tricked the demon Lord Zepar into granting me immortality. Should've read the fucking fine print before signing that contract. Of course, every gift from a demon has its drawbacks, regardless if i... | James missed home. He had gained immortality and been cursed and had not been mature enough to deal with it.

[WP] You partner in crime has pulled a gun on you. "The truth is, the game was rigged from the start." You know that very well, mostly because you did all the rigging. | You'd think there'd be some honour among thieves, but he looked *far too* smug with that gun pointed at me. Too much for him not to be enjoying this.

[WP] An alien empire has just abducted the President of the United States. The problem? That President is Theodore Roosevelt - and the Bull-Moose isn’t one to be held captive. These Extraterrestrials are about to face the fury of a wronged Rough Rider. | “The humans on the continent of this leader are rather active,” the intelligence officer says as he calmly observes the human pacing side to side in the containment unit. They are reminded briefly of the behavior of captive predators back home, a thought which is quickly dismissed.

[WP] On a long straight road with nothing of note, there is a four-way traffic light that hangs in the middle. No road crosses anywhere near the traffic light and no sign to tell you why it's there, but it seems to always be green, so no one cared. That's until the day it changed to yellow. | The roar of the engine in the dark, quiet night was Sarah's favourite sound.
