[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!” ... | “Hah! Pillar or cave? What can I breed with? That’s all you ever think about, human?”
‘It’s a perfectly legitimate question.’
“I have never heard you ask about male dryads or sirens. Admit it, you inquire for a chance to- in your own words- plough the fields with a female make of my kind.”

[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.

Of Night Master beating the crap out of me and not stopping, even when i'm curled up and not fighting back.

[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.

He comes up with a brilliant idea to take back the contract. | There was once a supervillain empire that was legend upon the criminal underworld called the Paradigm.

The leader of the g... | The team was saved and the villain was defeated and order was restored. That, apparently, was the easy part. The hard part is making sense of what just happened.

One day, as you’re resting your eyes in a park, dreaming of a love long past, the person on the bench next to you speaks. “You think of me after all this time?” | "I will never stop thinking of you," I smiled, my eyes closed enjoying the image in my mind's eye,

They fall in love but then he phases back into the world, everyone can see him again, but he can’t see her. | It wasn’t much of a shrine, really. More like a mistake someone forgot to clean up—a toppled stone, a clump of moss, a flower that bloomed too early and just stayed. The others had gold. Marble. Columns so tall they made you feel small before you even got inside, which was probably the point. Me? I had… well, dirt. Dir... | Swirls of light enshrouded her, and alas!

Although he was a being of hulking size, he seemed small somehow as he desperately clung to her body.
Arabelle could do naught but stare, mouth agape, at the peculiar scene before her. The demon's voice might have been full of anger moments before, but now he had his back turned to... | <Fantasy>

[WP] When me and my friends went to summon a demon, we turned all the crosses upside down like in the movies. Instead of a demon appearing, however, this old "Peter" dude appeared ranting at us | “All of you are idiots” St. Peter simply said, realizing they were wearing upside down crosses. “That’s *my* cross, which I took so as to not be like Jesus Christ, who I had failed and could never match”

[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. | "It has been said, in my world, that a man's value is measured three ways: by the truth and honor in his words, by the virtue of his actions, and by the company he keeps."
