My body felt fundamentally wrong. I don’t know what they did, but it wasn’t what I signed up for. I was supposed to be here for a few blood tests, some small genetic research for some gene abnormality I had. I thought they were giving me some local anesthetic.

[WP] "GO AWAY!" bellowed the dragon to the man currently pinned beneath one of their paws. "I've done NOTHING WRONG!" "You lie! You've slain dozens of noble knights over the centuries-" "In self-defense, because YOU ALL KEEP TRYING TO KILL ME!!!" | "You burned my village first, motherfucker!" I said, loosening my tattered clothes to reveal the remnants of the burn traveling down from my shoulders to my chest.
"Eww. Stop stripping—"

[WP] "Chess? I've been around since before humans invented the concept of games, so a game as old as chess would be be in my favour without a doubt. I would advice you to choose again, and pick something you're familiar with." Death said as they presented every board and video game ever created. | There was no game in the history of existence that Death did not know, nor any game He had ever lost. It was no wonder that the Reaper spoke with such utter surety and confidence.
Perhaps such confidence was earned.
Perhaps not.
Perhaps the Angel of Death was currently hopping on a single bony foot, while clutching ... | "Okay...."
I thought hard as to what could help me win against Death. It was until then I realized: we had to play a game that relied PURELY on luck or probability. One where the skills of the player is NOT some factor.

[WP] You were kidnapped by a villain and he gloats about how you're bait for his arch-nemesis, and you'll be dead soon. You sigh and just look at him. "Buddy, its not that hero you need to worry about....its my wife." and he looks at you perplexed. | I was trying to nap while this schmuck continued to monolog.

Declan could see it all falling apart. It was supposed to be different here, quiet, an unassuming way to be educated and contained. Hell, he hadn't had a fit in years, even before he'd arrived at Heuward Academics. And now it was all falling apart.

Her lower half has turned into some sparkling goo that is slowly running down the drain. | Daniel sighed, heavily, as he watched his girlfriend dissolving in the bathtub. Her attempts at explaining the situation away had turned into incomprehensible gurgling almost immediately, as her sudden panic accelerated her condition, and she became an increasingly amorphous mass of sparkling jelly.
*She's sick. She's... | “It’s not what it looks like!” Beth said with panic in her voice.

[WP] It finally happened. Through means not yet known, everyone's physical beauty reflects their innermost selves; the kind but portly girl is now an absolute bombshell, the asshole CEO is now hideous, and so on. Nothing prepared you for what you came face to face with in the mirror, though. | "Hey, punk! Whatcha lookin at?" I glanced over at the people who, I suppose, were trying to harass me.

[WP] You're a boy who has watched as, once a year, your father and all the men in the world disappear for a day. Your mother always assures you that everyone is alright, but you're terrified because, this year, you legally become an adult. | Dad set his hand on my shoulder reassuringly. His sunburnt face creased in a familiar relaxed grin. I looked nervously into his eyes, once the same denim shade as mine, now a little faded.
It was still a jolt to find my gaze on a level with his. In my imagination, Dad still towered, a six foot giant with powerful hand... | ***11:30 pm day before day of yearly rest***

"Ale," he commanded simply. The bartender, knowing his disposition just from the tone, obliged.

[WP] You, a side character, watch in horror as the MC forgives and doesn't kill the main villain, who murdered your friends and family, saying, "If I killed them, then I'd be just like them." | No.
All of the thoughts in my head, all of the feelings in my heart, and all of the scars along my body coalesce into one definitive word as I stood back and saw Brandon lower his gun.
“If I kill you,” the moron continued, although my blood was pounding too hard to fully hear, “I’ll be just like you. No, you need to ... | Shelia chuckled softly to herself, shoulders gently shaking.

[WP] A hero's work never ends. You became a litch out of necessity. The next hero would not be summoned for another thousand years and you were old. You planned to stay around long enough to pass the safety of the world on to the next. | Every one, at least once, has considered life to be tiring.

Those people who choose the never-ending sleep have a choice. T... | Everyone thinks the prophecy will happen in their times, I met at least eight other adventures that said they were the 'hero'.

[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 tilled the soil for what felt like the fourth time this. Then the rake broke on me. My last one. I didn't have enough money to buy a replacement. I had enough- I simply threw the now useless rake on the ground in anger and stormed back into the house.
About 50 years ago, I took up the Holy Blade of Maelmasi to save ... | "What?!" I shouted at the top of my lungs as my words echoed through the great hall, I traced back a few steps as I tried to process the words said by the king.

[WP] "The human engineer costs HOW MUCH?" the captain was shocked. "Well, the human's rate itself is cheap. I'm including a week's worth of food. They're ludicrously expensive to maintain, but I'll be damned before I board a ship WITHOUT a human crew as well," said the broker. | "*Three* times a day!?" exclaimed Turreea, extending and retracting her claws to show her surprise.

Don't even say who is saying what, make the reader figure that out. | I pulled up to the gate and pressed the buzzer to be let in, not waiting long since they were expecting me.

[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.

Today a child clutching their piggy bank approaces you, tears in their eyes 'I'm being hurt real bad and you can make bad people disappear, right?' | On video, you always saw people doing pro-bono work. Taking jobs that they thought would improve the reputation of the firm for free. It was a quick way to pull at the heart strings, and I was sure it happened in real life too, I'd just never seen it.

[WP] Not all Dragons hoard gold. Some run the greatest libraries and repositories of knowledge in the world, others search for the greatest experiences and sights the worlds can offer. One dragon has a rather unusual fascination. | "What, you want gold or something?"
"Well, no, not really. But that artillery has caught my eye."
"The what?" The clerk asked, baffled. The specialist the government had reached out to was unusual, as it was a dragon, and had declined most forms of payment available for the work. The drake nodded with a slight grin.

[WP] “Why should I care what you think, dad? Humans only live for a hundred years if they’re lucky! Me and mom will be here for thousands!” | I am ashamed to admit that, in that moment, there were several dagger edged declarations I had to bite down on before I unleashed them on my own child.

[WP] As someone with stage 4 terminal cancer, you've long come to terms with your own inevitable death. Now, the world is ending in 7 days, and you have to help your loved ones accept their impending doom. | Theo glanced at the consol in front of him, then looked back at his supervisor. "I mean, if someone told me I'd get crazy benefits and all I had to do was push a button at 3:00 PM, I'd probably think they were high or something. So, I think I can believe anything at this point."

[WP] Your little sister wakes you up and says that she thinks there's a monster in the house. The tall creature with glowing eyes, horns, and claws right by her looks just as terrified, and agrees. | I squint my eyes at my sister. She's clutching her pet demon's hand so hard that if he was made of flesh it would be bruising. She stares at me with wide eyes. I move my gaze to the pet demon. I'm not an expert on demon faces (the glowing eyes and huge teeth tend to throw me off), but he doesn't look happy either.

[WP] You are a lich who retired from villainy long ago and took up teaching at a magical school. Today someone made the mistake of threatening your students. | 'Retiring from Villainy' implies that I was a villain professionally, and decided not to be a villain anymore.
That is not what happened.
I forced the government to allow the 'abhorrent, vile magics' as a force to be reckoned with, but also to be understood.

[WP] You are on a blind date that is going well...until their face literally falls off revealing that they are in fact a demon. Normally you would slay them on sight but like I said it's going well and you'd hate to spoil your first day off in awhile. | Well…” I say, looking at the demon and then the mask before looking back at the demon sitting in front of me. “That’s certainly one way to truly break the ice,” I say as I sip my water, checking that my dagger is, in fact, hidden under my sleeve.

"I..I didn't." I stammer at the menacing thug, known only as Nombro.

[WP] last month, your newlywed wife died in a fire so terrible that her remains were almost completely unidentifiable. Tonight, you answered your door only to find your wife, naked, covered in blood, but without a scratch on her, and very much not a burn victim; “Babe, I can explain…” | "YOU'RE SUPERMAN!"
Crystal raised an eyebrow, "*Clearly no*."
I looked down, "Ah. Hm. Towel?"

That’s what they called me.

[WP]A god wronged you so greatly that you began to target those he blessed in revenge. And strangely enough, all those he blessed happened to be kings. Years later, you became known as the 'Kingslayer'. Now, that god's blessing is no different from a curse. | Did you know gods can die? They die when people stop believing in them. They die when someone puts in the effort to make people hate them. I think I've been very successful.
It all started forty years ago, the day I was born. The gods decided that my brother was to be the chosen one. He was a failure in every definit... | Long time ago, there were two forces engaged in battle. Most people think of Order vs Chaos, or Life vs Death... One God and one Goddess.
The Goddess won, casting her adversary out of Creation, to linger in the Void of Chaos. People thought that she was the one to embody everything good in Creation, Life, Order...

[WP] "If you see a writhing mass of polygons that attempts to commune or show signs of sentience. Stop what you're doing and run away. Any display of sentience is a coincidence. Talk back and you're gone. Not dead, but gone." | I meet up with some other chasers in Oklahoma, at the sticky back table of someone's bar. We arranged the meeting on Telegram, but they'll only trade actual data in person. They've got some geotagged photos, some second-hand rumors in haphazard Excel sheets or scrawled in spiral notebooks. I add it all to my model, rot... | He opened his eyes.
“Gone?”
“Gone.”
“Gone… Gone.. Gone, Gone Gone GONE GONE GONE-“
A man twisted a knob, turning the audio off, but through the screen he could still see the patient screaming, his mouth stretched painfully wide as he uttered that word - the only word.
Gone.

[WP] A girl shows up in your house claiming to be your daughter and telling you that she’s glad your both okay with tears in her eyes. When you tell her that you and your partner don’t have any children, her face goes pale | “Mom, dad. I missed you so much. I’m ok. I promise.” She said, tearfully hugging my shirt. I didn’t know what to say, instinctively patting the girl on the head, looking for any parents. Why was she out so late?
“Who is it, sweetie?” Hayley, my wife, called out. She stood with a bowl of popcorn, ready for our Friday m... | "We're supernatural crime-solving partners, not that sort of romantic partners!

[WP] You're a simple and design-cute robot which helps his master with the daily chores. One day you see them staring fearfully at the TV watching something about a Droid Revolution. Then they turn around looking at you, scared about you, but you don't know why. You feel normal. | (I'm making the robot a she because yes)
"Sam..? Are you alright..?"
*Automaid model V26T74Y9-34 (affectionately dubbed Vivianne or just Vi) stepped towards them*
"W-wait!"

[WP] You’re the mustache twirling bad guy who must marry the innocent girl for your scheme to succeed. After your wedding she presents you with her plan to expand your schemes. She’s much more devious and evil than you. | The wedding bells of the church were still ringing when the dark wooden gate of the mansion opened. Damyan entered the place and, with a snap, the gate closed at his back. He pushed the young girl that was walking by his hand towards a chair and walked to the chimney. The bright red flames illuminated his face as he st... | "Marten."
The voice came from the door like a song on the breeze.
"Gabrielle." He responded.

[WP] In a world of dragons, sorcery, war, and monsters, there are many risks and even risk takers. Everyone though, elf, monster, or man knows to avoid those few ancient ruins that contain symbols of suffering and a word of the ancients, RADIATION. | Every village, every town, every grand city on a hill, everywhere a few humans have laid down their heads together, has a cat.

[WP] You have been kidnapped by a human trafficking ring, & it’s unlikely that the authorities can recover you at this point. Unfortunately for your kidnappers, your SO is a member of the Greek pantheon. | Of course, I was scared. Why wouldn't I be? I was a mere mortal, small, squishy, easily breakable despite my best efforts. A normal reaction in this situation, regardless of whether there was a way to escape, was to be scared.
Whether it was a fear of the unknown, fear of being hurt, or one of the many *other* reasons... | They kept the bag over my head for what felt like ages. Snatched off the street, in broad daylight, I figured it made quite a stir.

[WP] You run a café on the edge of life and death. Souls who have been departed from their bodies temporarily, such as in comas or near-death experiences, can relax in your quaint cafe for as long as they need before they can either return to their bodies or begin their journey to the afterlife. | I’m proud of my work. Some curse me for it; others praise me for it. I have been told it is a taunt and an insult to the departed to give them such a fleeting time of peace before they suffer damnation. I don’t really care, it’s none of my business whether or not I’m doing any good.
Honestly, the only reason I do it i... | Leslie wiped down the dirty table, cursing under her breath. She wasn't paid enough for this shit.

[WP] Humanity is on its last legs, an alien race has destroyed all of her other colonies and now converge on Earth. But as humanity makes its last stand, its gods come out of hiding to defend the planet. | The last station fell back to Earth, trailing fire and smoke from its structure. Our last ship is obliterated by the combined might of the alien armada. From the earth, we see the streaks of fire as they enter the atmosphere. We are without hope. For one brief moment, all of humanity is united.

The game will start with standard setting and any and all mods will be disabled during this time.

[WP] As a Barbarian, you hate that just because you have a different lifestyle, your party looks down on you and assumes you are incapable of basic intelligent thought. Today you had enough. | Kephas had enough today. If there was a phrase he heard too much of, it was "I don't expect you to understand". Ever since Luminitsa went off on her own druidic business, no one seemed to grasp his intelligence. He had to prove a point, nothing drastic. Just a pinch of oregano, some square sigils, and a small rock.

"The shortest distance between two places is a straight line." Alexandria rolled her eyes. "Honestly just because I'm strong doesn't make me stupid. Simplicity is its own form of genius!"

[WP] You went to the doctor because of back pain. Upon seeing your test results, the doctor exclaimed "What the f*ck! Hold on, I need to contact a biologist." The biologist arrives and looks at what's wrong with your back. "What the f*ck! We need to call a physicist." | The doctor stares at the X-ray. His hands shake. He moves it closer to the light. His brow furrows. “What the f*ck!” He looks at you. Fear. “Wait. I need to contact a biologist.”
You sit, your back aching. “What’s wrong with me?”
He doesn’t answer. He leaves. The room is cold. Silence stretches. The light hums. You p... | "What is it? You guys are freaking me out." I said nervously, as a small group of doctors from different fields gathered around me.
Nobody even tried to answer my question, the only thing I could hear was a the murmur of arguing and theorizing.

[WP] Your superpower can completely nullify the powers of any other superheroes in your vicinity. You expected the government or supervillains to be after you, but you never would have thought that some heroes would voluntarily seek you out. | My phone rang, vibrating in my hands. I sighed, recognising the number as the front gate. It was very rare they contacted me, the last time being when agents of the D.M.H. came for me. It had been a few months since their visit, and I had hoped to have faded into obscurity.
I answered it, slowly rising to my feet. "Th... | PART 1:

[WP] When you turn 18, a voice tells you your superpower and a description of it. When you turned 18 it just said, “The System.” | THE SYSTEM.
YOU ARE GRANTED CONTROL OF THE SYSTEM OF INFORMATION.
Pretty dramatic right?
My Power Day as it's called came and went with me being gifted this cryptic message. I had no idea what it meant at first. The System of information? What is that? A system of information to what?
It had taken some time to disc... | "The system?" I rubbed my eyes trying to wake myself up faster thinking my eyes were not focused. I took another glance, the same thing. "...ok..."

[WP] You are a god with no followers nor enemies, yet you still persist. No god had ever lived without worship before. The other gods are stumped as to why this is so...until you tell them what you are the god of. | "Is this going to take long?"
The man sat in his luxurious gaming chair, casting a glance back at the screen that showed the various gods who had called him to attend this meeting while he waited for his character to respawn. They'd wanted an in-person meeting, but he'd been clear, it was Zoom, or zilch.

[WP] “So mermaids and sirens are two different species?” “Just so. My people, what you call mermaids or merfolk, share a common ancestor to you humans, making us distant cousins. What you call sirens, however, are fish that evolved to look and sound like humans to attract their favorite prey.” | "Think of it like how birds and bats independently evolved wings," Tania snatched the chalk off the man in the white lab coat to draw on the blackboard. "Sirens and mermaids like me independently evolved to look like humans from the waist up, and fish from below."
"That makes sense," he leaned against the glass tank w... | After a beat, Quincy raised his eyebrows. "Which is?"
"What do you mean?" the merman asked.

[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... | "I might not have superpowers like the both of you, I might have started my career as an admin executive at Megacorp, but I now run Megacorp!

[WP] Your family was killed in the chaos of magical girl combat. "Collateral damage", the government said, "Acceptable losses". Well, now you have the tools to get your revenge. | *INPUT REQUIRED.

[WP] "I engineered you to be a villain. Lack of empathy, lack of morals, deriving pleasure from the pain and suffering of others, I even gave you power and ability for you to abuse. So how could it be that not only you are not a villain, but also a hero in the eyes of others?" | "Let's see if we can figure out where we went wrong. Define 'empathy,' Kill-Bot."
"Empathy is the ability to understand the feelings of others, Creator."
"All right, that seems to be working. . . next, define 'morals.'"

[WP] your girlfriend turned into a "hideous monster". while of course you supported her and promised to help her on her quest to turn back, on the inside you're struggling to find a way to confess that you're really into her new form. | "We need to see your boss," Dana stated, glaring at me with those big, beautiful and bulging eyes.
