[WP] A magical medieval fantasy empire frequently invades inferior, magic-less dimensions for easy conquest. This time though, they target the modern day technologically advanced Earth. | Their initial attack took us by surprise. Portals appeared on the outskirts of a large town, that was quickly overtaken by the aggressors. Brutish, savage humanoids in chainmail, hacking at anything and anyone, followed by robed figures throwing fireballs. And dragons, as well as many more warriors, more disciplined th... | "We have a fire order. It came across all channels but it's garbled. We can't authenticate."

[WP] You, a low rank adventurer who got stuck with the gardener class, have to put up with the higher ranked adventures trampling your garden and making fun of you. One day a famous adventurer trips on one of your plants and dies. Your level skyrockets. No other gardener has ever leveled up before. | Plants feed on the fallen. The soil from which they grow is rich with the nutrients of the dead. The energy of the daisy, the shrub, the towering oak is not destroyed in death. It is passed along through the dirt to be absorbed by the next in line.

Not the worst one, but obviously I am not fit to go into the world to prove my bravery. While i can just be a normal farmer, a magic class had so many possibilities that I had t cave in.

[WP] "You see there isn't actually a dragon" explains the King. "We just spread the rumour around so that warriors and knights will bring their best and most expensive magical gear, which we then sell after we poison them." |
The king leaned back, steepling his long fingers in what was clearly a carefully practiced display of clinical superiority. His eyes, slightly narrowed and unblinking, studied my face. I paused. When a man is enjoying his own show as much as this one was, it pays to let him savour the moment.

"IT'S BEEN 1 YEAR, WHY DIDN'T YOU OPEN THE FUCKING DOOR?!" | Moving to a new place, especially one deep in the woods, was one filled with trepidation. But I quickly learned to enjoy the solitude, so far away from nosy neighbours, instead enjoying the sounds of the forest that so gently take their place in the surroundings, experienced musicians settling into the orchestra of gre... | To his surprise, none of the boxes had been emptied, the tv was sitting on one of them a blanket in front of it and a passed out man with crooked hands surrounded by empty pill bottles and spilled booze."What have we here?

[WP] You are the Last Hero. The one they call when nobody else can handle the threat. You've answered the call only twice since discovering your powers, devastating as they are. You prefer the quiet life, living on your stipend. The Red Phone has just rung for the third time. | “The Red Phone” was a joke. My wife had bought it for me as a prop when I had told her I got elected President of the book club.
“A President needs a red phone!” had been her gleeful cry when I had opened the mysterious parcel. It was a cheap plastic thing, garish and bright. A child’s toy.

[WP] Reincarnation works in strange ways. It would make sense to be reincarnated as an eagle, or a dog, or even a slug or something like that. But why as the AI of a military warship? | "I still don't understand."
"What else is there to understand? You died, won the lottery, and came back as an AI."

[WP] You and 5 other people are transported to a warehouse. You hear a voice over the intercom. "I'm going to hunt y'all down, and whoever is the last man standing gets to live. Y'all have 10 seconds to start running" | The first hour of travel is really tense. The others are banging and screaming and sobbing and stepping onto each other.

[WP] For his kindness, the dragon taught the squire the dragon song. A song that was sure to make whoever sang it irresistible to the ladies. In hindsight, the squire should have known that by ladies, the dragon meant lady dragons. | It should have been clear from the start... That there was something that I was missing when the great Níðhöggr offered to teach me the "Draki Að unna", the dragon song. They said that it would give me the power to be irresistible to ladies...

[WP] You run a daycare after the apocalypse. An unspoken rule among the wastelanders says the Daycare is off-limits to all. You raise the children of warlords, chieftains, and nomads. | I remember the end of the world like it was yesterday. The world didn't end in fire, more floods, nore droughts. It ended with a cough.

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
Let that be a lesson to learn

To sit on neither left nor right
