kot1khk | kosnhu2 | [WP] You're in class one day when a beast straight out of fantasy crashes through the door head first. On its heel is your always bullied and unpopular classmate, who swiftly and effortlessly hacks it in two with a sword from behind. They look up to see everyone staring at them. "Aw, shit." | His legal name actually is Dick Smelzi. Not Richard. Not Rick. But Dick. Combined with his last name. Who would name their kid that? When my parents first heard me mention his name, they thought I was joking. My protestations fell on deaf ears. They grounded me for a week when I tried to insist that is his real... | “Aw, shit.”
Callum was standing in the doorway chest heaving, black hair haphazardly strewn about his head. The purple blood was spattered on his pale face, deep blue eyes taking in all of our shocked faces. My eyes darted to the creature laying on the ground nearly cleaved in half. Then back to my classmate holding... |
jhfcb6p | jhf7kr5 | [WP] Your fairy godmother is very strange. She dresses in black and red, never takes off her mask, and uses scary magic. However, she genuinely does love you and teaches you what she knows. | It all started when I was barely a little girl, just on the edge of my memory. I'd never known my parents but, back in the beginning, I could remember her.
Or at least a single image of her, like a still painting made by a master artist to remind me of my past.

1C'mon little Fairy Princess," Daddy yelled, "This is our new home!" And he pulled open the bad doors of the small moving van.

jx89gpl | jx7xk4q | [WP] You're immortal. But instead of secrecy or God status, you decided to become an urban legend by working at a random gas station for hundreds of years. | Today is August 21st, 2023. I Am Jeffery. I work at Sunoco Gas Station. I am supposed to make sure the shelves are stocked, all potential customers are happy, and make money for Sunoco Gas Station.
It is late at night. Sometimes, customers become unruly at this time. There is a bar close by, and at this time of night... | "I don't know how long it's been" I said with a sad smile. The person from HR is confused to say the least "you don't know how long it's been since you took your last brake..." An awkward pause of silence as he thinks that he couldn't have ever thought this would be his assignment. "Yes" I say with sad yet humored eyes... |
m0u0fe0 | m0tzmxw | [WP] In a world of supers, you are hailed as the most terrifying super villain. You rarely appear and are feared not because you are evil, or have some grand plan. It is because super heroes inevitably become corrupt. When that corruption becomes too great for the world, you clean house. | Many know of me, know my alias and my motives. But few actually know me as a person. Few know what I look like. My alias is simple. Ballistic. Is that because I fly into a berserker range? No, not at all. I have great control over kinetic energy. Imbue it, steal it, bend it. More so if I have had contact with the objec... | They call me evil, vile, monster, villain. Across this whole world I am feared, despised, hated. Why?

jmjemxo | jmjdujo | [WP] In a world where the consequences of murdering someone is them coming back the next day completely fine, you accidentally shot your best friend with a gun. The next day, you and your friend have an awkward conversation in an elevator. | "Hey, so, uh... Don't take it the wrong way."
"I-I was gonna' say. I'm sorry."
"I mean, I'm fine now."
"Right. But I didn't mean to do it. Honest."

A week later your parents still haven't come to rescue you. | I hugged my legs as I stared at the wall before me. The shadow grew darker, which I fought. I can't use them, I don't want to see it anymore. I don't want to see it anymore.
I jumped as the door opened. I never heard it unlock. Dark Crimson, mother and father's archenemie, walked in with a tray of food. I noticed he l... | Despite the whole... kidnapping thing, it wasn't going that badly. I mean, sure, I had actually been kidnapped but that wasn't the worst.

job7zwu | job7429 | [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. | Let me let you in on a little secret:
It's all talk. It always was.
Do you believe that every do-gooder that chases criminals is in it for the good of society? That so many people with great power will never use it for their own gain? That all good guys are good and all bad guys are bad?
You and I both know life is... | The villain of the week constantly chatted at me. He mocked my parents. He mocked their ideals. He called them hypocrites. He asked me if it ever meant anything if they don't love their child as much. My parents never told me this to my face but I always felt like I was too much of a burden. It's been a full week of wa... |
jajue32 | jajiktz | [WP] You are an immortal, who, after millennia of searching, has finally found a way to die. In your long life you made a lot of friends, including the grim reaper, and so you aren't afraid to meet them again. Only that the being sent to collect your soul is something very different and way scarier. | When the bright light of the detonation faded from his sight, he thought he had failed. Again. Only there were no contours appearing, the world - or what was left of it - became a dark formless gray.
He tried to blink, but...nothing happened.

The circle was double-checked after your bound and gagged body was placed inside it. A vibrating chant echoes in your ears, the same wordless noise you have heard for two days. Black-robed people had taken you into the dark underground lairs of this mad society, and now they were going to use you for ... | Carl sniffed, adjusting his hood, “You’ve got the toff then?”

l8miijw | l8ljn2i | [WP] You, an everyday civilian, watch in horrified disbelief as the so-called ‘hero’ yet again chooses to spare the villain who murdered your spouse and children, alongside countless other families, and prepares to take them back to a prison or asylum they have escaped from tens of times. | Mike waits on top of Central City Maximum Security Prison along with a squad of armed guards.

jg3touy | jg3jwpo | [WP] Whenever you flip a coin, it lands on its side, Rock-Paper-Scissors always ends in a draw, and when you enter the lottery you always win your money back but not a dime more. You're not lucky, you're not unlucky, you're... something else. | I am, frankly, a statistical wonder. Luck, fortune, probability; whatever you want to call it, the universe contorts itself into a pretzel to ensure that in games of chance I never win... but also never lose. Some people are blessed with good luck. Others are cursed with misfortune.
I would say luck doesn't effect me,... | It's a Friday night, and I'm at the bar **trying to get lucky**. Unfortunately, I already know what will happen when I'm up to swing.

jlq1mfd | jlppxjv | [WP] Dragons are logical. They only hunt things that cower or attempt to run from them. Dragons only fight that which attacks them first. But something that does neither absolutely terrifies them, because it implies that whatever it is, no matter the appearance, it must be stronger than them. | “Alright” said Steve, “We’re about to step into the dragon‘s cave. Now remember, we don’t want to scare the gal, we just want to take a look and keep a respectful distance.”
The sounds of humans wafted into the cave and the dragon slowly opened one large eye to see who would be so bold as to trespass in her home. She ... | "Okay, I need you to work with me, here..." The stranger set his half-emptied mug down, strong tea sweetened with honey.

I own a game shop, come take a look, maybe we can find you something." | Death's eyes blazed like blue Supernovas within the endless darkness of his eye sockets;

j2sbsiz | j2s1bgp | [WP] "Did you know, human mouths have a higher risk of infection and disease than any other animal besides certain lizards?" You calmly explain. The alien looks in horror at the bite wound on its arm, then back to you in horror. | “Buuuuuut . . .” I said awkwardly as my eyes trailed a round the room. “We also have this handy little thing called alcohol.”
I grabbed the hydrogen peroxide and administered care with a cotton ball. “This can take up to several washes, but you’ll heal nicely with this.”

This rather odd man came in and stated that a homeless man had bitten his arm, and he was afraid of infection. As I gathered the antibiotic shots and gauze, I noticed that his vitals were WAY off!

"Dad...
Is it true that the Earth used to only have one moon?", she asked.... | \[WP\] "Dear, we don't talk about... such things." Reese's mother tensed her shoulders at her husband's absentmindedly inconsiderate response.

No, I didn't mean to cast it then, or there for that matter.
Yes, I do know that a fireball spell should only combust about a cubic meter.
Yes, I'm aware that mine set about 10 acres ablaze.

She had to have heard Wren wrong, those words didn't just come out of her friends mouth, she heard it wrong. "Excuse me," the words came out in a too small, broken voice.

No, dumbfounded isn't quite right, it's more accurate to say that his world was crumbling around him.

loityxo | lohwwr9 | [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.

jovxulj | jov0yv2 | [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. | “You need to barricade the fort NOW!” screamed the demon lord.

Do not, and I will reduce your walls to rubble to rescue them myself." | I smiled at the sound of Marthlok‘s voice. The knights had ”rescued” me a few hours ago when Marthlok had flown out to get some food because I was craving apples. For some reason those idiots took Marthlok’s absence as an invitation to break into our cave and kidnap me, while trying to assure me I was safe from the mon... | Old Hogan was the one who found them, huddled and scared on the side of the Laneway heading into town.

jjhomtj | jjhgxq5 | [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. | Festival of Beasts
Vexason the Powerful wanted to put his head down and cry. The people of Cholerton were calling on him to perform the “Miracle of Beast Day.” Again! What had he started?
It had seemed like the perfect revenge; change all the citizens into animals, and laugh as they destroyed each other. ... | The angry magician clenched his teeth, and pondered the request of the townsfolk. He agreed, but only if they would follow his specific instructions.
All husbands would stand in front of the magician, and all wives would stand behind him. He brought an enormous two-sided sign, with cloth covering the surfaces.

But you do not have amnesia and can remember exactly what happened, and that there was no an accident but something else entirely. | My wife hugged me as she cried. I had awakened from a coma of some sort after nearly a day.
“I thought I lost you.” She said so sweetly you thought your taste buds would lose sensation.

Due to the vague wording of the deal you managed to get her into a marriage contract, which would give her the right to use your last name as her own. Now you have both magic and a 10/10 wife. | The Fae Queen thought it was so easy. His name for a fragment of her power. The usual deal. Another addition to her army of human slaves and servants. And this man wasn't some annoying, long-winded lawyer trying to talk his way into having his cake and eat it.
Yet he nailed her in a marriage contract. It wasn't pages ... | Dr. Schwartzbaum--whom you've long suspected of being some kind of mage or archdruid--looks up from his notepad. "Rebecca tells me you enjoy responding to writing prompts?" he says.
Not an archdruid. More of a cleric, judging by his sweater vest. "The fae queen tells no lies," you reply.

They mostly just spun, processing either nothing or just ran... | “So, what’s it say?” Carla asked.

lp8tv6s | lp8os6m | [WP] You have the power to place really small, permanent curses on people. Things like never winning bingo or having them suddenly dislike a food they use to love. One day, someone nearly kills you cutting you off in traffic, and you curse them. Little do you know, you just ruined their life. | I hook the man to the machine for his first ever hemodialysis session.

Unsurprising, since just by seeing him I can deduce the type of lifestyle choic... | Growing up, most people umagine they can do strange things; one of my friends claimed he could control the weather, another claimed he had his mother in thrall.

After many uneventful years, your phone rings and a stern, slightly panicked voice says: „Press the button. NOW!!“ | "You got it!"

Nothing happened.

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 ... | I watched, drenched in sweat and blood, as my best friend lowered his sword. Corpses littered the ground at my feet, both friend and foe, and my arms felt like lead.

kflpih9 | kfldsfn | [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. | When I first set out on the journey I chose, I was surrounded by naysayers.
They told me it was futile...
They told me I had no hope, no chance of success against the Night Burner...
They all said that I would fail, that I would die a miserable death, alone, surrounded by no ally, no friend, only the bodies of those... | "Ingrates!"
I shouted as a web of purple and black chains rose around me. The King stood from his throne, staring down at me with a cold gaze.

ka77hjf | ka6s6n3 | [WP] You are an immortal, having to deal with the rather troublesome rumour that your blood grants immortal life. However, what those after your blood don't know is that since you can't die, you are an excellent host to several deadly bacteria and viruses-all existing peacefully in your blood. | Waking up blindfolded and tied to a chair would be a jarring experience for most normal people. But I was anything but normal. In fact, this was not the first, second… hell, I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve woken up tied to a chair.
In fact, of all the times I’ve been kidnapped and tied up, this was probably one... | “I wouldn’t do that if I were you.”

You are going to protect her and keep her company until she learns how to control her magic." | Sam had read about isekai novels before, where a chosen few are whisked off to fantastic worlds, given epic quests, and become heroes in that foreign land. The most classic, of course, was to save a princess who had been abducted by a dragon, for which the brave knight would be rewarded by the princess's hand in marria... | Tori hummed and rubbed her chin after hearing the woman's request.

jfbo3dc | jfbk13f | [WP] You, a warrior mage, lost your sight in battle. You’re able to use magic to see, but doing so drains your powers. You’re always having to choose whether to save your powers to see, or to cast spells. One day, caught in an attack, your combat skills alone aren’t enough. You close your eyes. | I used to be a mage once. Can’t say a great mage - but at least above average. I had great talent, only limited by my small mana pool.
Yet one day I made a mistake - I carelessly entered the boss room without any preparation, without thinking about what all those murals were hinting at along the way. The boss was... | The attacks came in swift and it was hard to dodge them without knowing where they were coming from. To Eagan they felt like they came from all sides all at once.
