[WP] Right when you become 18, you have to get a familiar. Even when you reached that age, you didn't get one, so you've been expecting none. So it's a bit of a surprise when Cthulhu suddenly appears and claims that you're their familiar.

[WP] You are a warrior pledged to protect a chosen priestess on her quest to quell a great evil. What she finds at the end of her journey is not a dark god or towering beast. She now stands before an altar of sacrifice. You knew the truth the whole time, you just couldn't bear to tell her. |
A realization dawned on her as we stepped into that pristine temple, high above a flight of stairs that felt more arduous than the journey we had made to this point. I suppose it was one of many.

The king clapped me on the back and let out a large belch, before retiring to his chambers.

Naturally the governments of the world declared you an international threat and put a price on your head. | Absentmindedly I refresh the website's wanted listings. They upped my bounty again.

When a new dangerous villain appeared, your nemesis utterly destroyed them, and then continued on like nothing happened. | As soon as the shots rang out, I knew he was dangerous. He wasn’t like the other supervillains—hell, I wouldn’t even *call* him a supervillain. The others were quirky, cackling ne’er-do-wells with a penchant for showmanship.

[WP] At age 15 you told the gf you were "in love" with that you'd always be there when she was in need. Aphrodite heard you and made it a reality, whenever your gf was in need you appear at her side. Problem is, you and the girl broke up after 3 weeks but you still appear even now..10 years later | Charles let out a small smirk, glancing at his almost teary eyed opponent. Well he wasn't crying, or even closed to teary eyed, but Charles knew that on the inside, his opponent was in utter shambles. After a grueling 4 hour match, he had finally figured out the move that would lead to his eventual victory, the simple,... | “You know, have you ever tried being responsible for your own shit, instead of relying on some witches curse to have me do your laundry?”, Shane snarked at Sandra.

[WP] If, when you die, you don't get into heaven, there is an option to try again, and get in the next time. There is a man who has been trying for millennia; he has been Ghengis Khan, Hitler, and many other brutal leaders. That man is you, and this time, you're determined to get it right. | "What am I doing wrong?"
I said it out loud, but I knew he wouldn't answer. He just sat there and asked again,
"Give up? Or try again?".
His question echoed as if we were in a cave, but the room was about the size of a elevator. It would have terrified me if this was my first time. Tha... | "Well, looks like you're back again. Where are you going to now?" the angel asked. It didn't look like he was impressed with my achievements as a rebellion leader in the 28th century. In fact, he looked at me like this is the billionth time I was here, just like the question he asked had implied. However, I couldn't re... | 2017-03-31T12:40:36 | 2017-03-31T11:14:34 | 71 | 13 |

That man is you, and this time, you're determined to get it right. | "Really, again?"
"I mean, it could have been worse, right?" I sigh and scratch the back of my head.
"Six million jews," god's brow furrows and his glare pierces my soul, "six million of them."
I cross my arms and scowl right back at him. "They were causing an economic decline in Germany."
"They were my children."

I have been tracking what we are dubing the alphabet killer for nearly a decade. If you are reading this, then I'm dead, and I was right about the killer.

[WP] You're a high school student with the ability to have whatever you write come true. One day, you're taking a history test you didn't study for, and despite not wanting to mess up the universe, you REALLY want to get an A.

Mr Tori sighed, and looked across the table. His assistant's look of disbelief was a reflection of what he felt, but he suppose...

[WP] The aliens found you in hypersleep on your derelict ship and brought you onto theirs. You've awoken and escaped into their maintenance tunnels and the only thing you've found that you can eat is the aliens themselves. | They don't realize it yet. That I've gone. My captors have not been wise enough to recognize that the dark shape in my sleep pod is merely a dry husk. Dead shell of my old skin that I've outgrown. The walls of are full of them now. Three days in these tunnels, and already I can feel the walls getting smaller and smalle... | I thought my biometrics were lying at first.
But as I force shaky fistfuls of alien entrails into my hungry mouth, I know it was right. Edible.
More than that, it's the tastiest blastin' thing I've ever eaten in my life. The flavour. Sweet stars, the flavour. I mean, I've travelled all over, eaten from every culture ... | 2018-07-30T08:12:50 | 2018-07-30T08:01:43 | 203 | 118 |
[WP] You are an immortal who was caught and encased in concrete, forgotten. Your body's regeneration kept your alive, while your mind remained active. Your prison has finally eroded away, freeing you. | Stasis. Apnea. Frozen for eternity.
Syljir slowly flexed his biceps, wincing at the pain caused by a millennia of disuse. He relished the pain. It let him know that he was alive. And free.
The chamber in which he had awoken was large and cavernous, the smell of wet earth revealing it to be deep underground. He had no... | # The Daily Struggles of An Immortal

[WP] You are an immortal who was caught and encased in concrete, forgotten. Your body's regeneration kept your alive, while your mind remained active. Your prison has finally eroded away, freeing you. | After the crack in the concrete, the light seeped in.

[WP] You die and find yourself at the gates of heaven, but they're rusted and hanging open. The entire place seems abandoned. | Empty.
Heaven is empty?
My first reaction was fear. I hadn't been that bad a person to deserve hell had I?
Only truely evil people should go to hell right? I thought to myself as I took in the city around me. Completely devoid of the flames or pain expected of eternal punishment.
Empty plazas streets and homes. ... | I look around, and I can't see any signs of anything being used or even touched for years. I look through the gate, and slowly it reveals the true situation.
