I looked around, curiosity eventually giving way to worry. I'd been given the job of cleaning out Medusa's lair, taking all the statues away, all that stuff. There would probably be people who wanted to take over the area as land. I knew how people worked. They'd tell "the great tale of how they took this land from the... | 237 | After Medusa was defeated you was put in charge of taking all the statues away. You went alone first, to acess the situation. But instead of the lair of a monster, you found a small cabin surrounded by a big garden with statues. And in front of each, a small wooden box with a handwritten letter | 409 |
I was the last human on Earth. This is what I think happened. Nuclear War ravaged our planet, destroyed every city, every town, every man woman and child. But not me. See, I was an astronaut. I was slowly descending from space, and barely avoided the barrage of nukes set off by every country. I landed near where Austra... | 11 | You are the last human on earth. it's not so bad, until the Aliens show up. Very suprised, they seem to think you're a super soldier when you can easily bend their weak tin based metals. then they start cloning more humans... | 28 |
“Look, your own backstory says humans don’t acknowledge themselves as animals- three quarters of them believe in an old man in the sky, and the rest think that aliens made them! They don’t even qualify as animals- not enough claws or fur, and way too much tools use!”
The rest of the party blinked their 6 eyes in agree... | 20 | Earth is a tabletop RPG (think D&D or Pathfinder) where players create a species of animal and rise to the top of the food chain. The rest of the group is getting fed up with the power gamer and his ‘humans’. | 41 |
"What do you see?" Asked the voice on the radio.
Charlène saw. Or thought she saw. The ressemblance was uncanny.
Charlène, well protected from the crushing pressure by her heavy diving suit and so far underwater that no natural light could reach her. She and her team were on the lookout for a new species of fish.
He... | 24 | 3 guys in a submarine traverse a deep ocean and find ruins. There are 3 statues bearing an uncanny likeness to them. Spooked, they look away for a moment only to find the statues have disappeared without a trace. | 115 |
I feel calm. Too calm. Was I drugged? I didn't feel drugged, but, then again, would I really know what that felt like? Maybe not. Was this what it felt like? To feel calm when I should be panicking?
I tugged on the ropes binding my arms behind the back of the chair. I didn't really expect them to loosen up, but... | 24 | You wake up in a dark room, gagged, your hands and feet bound to a chair. You should be afraid, but somehow, you know you're safe. You just relax as the door creaks open. | 33 |
When hunting monsters, you have to take that first shot. If you want to stay in the monster hunting business, then you have to take that first shot, or you're in for a world of hurt. And you won't survive for long if you don't take that first shot. That's always been my policy. Always been how I've done things. I live ... | 54 | A monster hunter has tried to track and slay a lycanthrope that has terrorized their town for weeks. They return home one morning from patrol to find said lycanthrope mid-transformation. As the beast reverts to its human form, the monster hunter recognizes the figure clearly; it’s their spouse. | 146 |
It was a cruel joke, I figured, that my parents picked a tortoise for my anima. There wasn't much playing to be done with her - I could talk and she would listen. Rarely, she would talk back, voice like tearing paper. Her face was wizened and craggy, and she always gave me her full attention.
I was lonely.
Unlike my ... | 28 | In a world where parents choose a lifelong animal partner for their children, you get a tortoise. After your friends get depressed over the loss of their companions, you realize why. | 35 |
A female voice cracked through the PSA system:
-Commader, The Enterprise reports mission failure. The Galactic Confederation Armada is en route to Earth, as Ultron predicted.
The Commander shifted in his chair, silently pressing a few buttons, switching the displays in each of the three screens of his battle station... | 15 | The galactic confederation decides to attack humanity. Unfortunately for them, human military doctrine relies on Deathstars for physical warfare and a genoidal AI named Skynet for cyberwarfare…. | 54 |
When I'd installed that damn camera, I wasn't sure what I had been expecting to see. My wife, Violet, complained about our cat scratching her during the night. She even had the marks to prove it, red welts along her neck and arms. She also complained about being tired, probably on account of Oscar the restless cat.
I ... | 32 | You installed a pet cam. You look at the recordings one day and find your spouse getting out of bed at night, staring into the lens for extended periods of time. | 52 |
"It is impossible." the machine intelligence declared, as it regarded the tiny organic creature that had entered the Central Core of the Galactic Council. There, representatives of the many machine intelligences throughout the galaxy were networked into a complex deliberative body.
All of these machine races had had ... | 2,814 | Every species in the galaxy eventually fell to a robot uprising, leading to the eradication of their people. Therefore the machine-council of the galaxy are surprised when a newly discovered machine civilisation from a planet they designated "Earth" arrives side by side with their creators. | 3,452 |
I walk down the hall to see my master, Lucifer. I kneel before him and his lady, Mariana, founder and owner of Woodwork Magic Industries. He specifically requested me for a mission. I asked other demons why it's always me. They made it clear they find it cosy down here and don't want to leave, so it always ends up bein... | 11 | The demon doesn't seem to realize that its mind control isn't working. Then again, you and your partner have been trying for a child without success, and it is quite well behaved. | 27 |
"What??" I asked, staring at her in confusion as my barely awake brain had trouble comprehending Eve's words.
My beautiful, 6 months pregnant wife stared back at me, not sleepy at all. She doesn't sleep, she just cuddles with me at night when *I* sleep.
It was sweet and heartwarming. And even though her undead body i... | 345 | You are the spouse of a pregnant vampire. Her pregnancy cravings are becoming increasingly bizarre. | 484 |
Bianca was walking through the woods near the hideout. She couldn't get the image of Aiden lifting her up from the broken cave last week. Emotions she didn't know how to name flooded her mind, only taken to attention when she heard a noise coming from behind a bush.
"Who's there?" she ask-yelled, unsheathing her swor... | 115 | There are two types of rebels in the world. Young, plucky heroes with a prophecy and plot armor, and grim faced, dirt streaked insurgents with old Soviet guns and handmade explosives. The problem comes when these two groups team up. | 390 |
It's that easy. "Karma" they call it, the "Contrappasso". I call it blind, for it knows not what it does. A blind judge is no judge at all. She sees no truth, but can hear every lie. My Karma is no justice either. It hears only what I wish it to hear. Only sins. Only harm.
Each and every man does harm in the course o... | 281 | You're the 'most deadly supervillain the country has ever seen'. Thing is, your super-evil ability? You deal the same amount of harm the 'heroes' you face have caused. Your power is Karma. Nobody's picked up on that yet. | 785 |
The door wasn’t even locked, Molly thought as she wiggled the rusty knob of the rusty door set into the wall of the basement. Probably just went to a storage room or something uninteresting like that. Daring to push on further, she turned the knob more and quickly stopped as the loud scrape of metal on metal echoed aga... | 31 | "Don't." Later that night, curiosity gets the better of you. | 157 |
“I said I would watch the world burn to have your love, and now here we stand, betrothed in its ashes.”
“How long did you wait?”
“An eternity.”
“So this is it?”
“What do you mean, my darling?”
“The world is burning, it’s over isn’t it? You watched the world burn to have my love bu... | 11 | I said I would watch the world burn to have your love, and now here we stand, betrothed in it's ashes. | 50 |
Seven pills. Seven powers.
One perfect job.
Now when you have superpowers, running a club isn't the most obvious of career choices, but hear me out. Most people have seven variations of a specific power. Someone may be able to create fire with one pill and manipulate it with another. A third pill will allow them to c... | 20 | You get 1 superpower every day via a pill. one day, you forgot to take the pill and realize the pills suppress your powers instead of giving you one | 48 |

"Husband hit me!" the Ogress wailed. "I want him arrest!"
"Wife hit me too!" the Ogre shot back. "I--"
I held up my hands "Sir, you'll both get a chance to--"
"Why cop only believe female can be victim?!" The Ogre demanded. "Look at me black eye!"
"Sir!" I said, more sharply. "I'm not taking anyone's side! I'm here... | 221 | As a human cop in a fantasy world, you’ve never gotten used to how bizarre, insane and ridiculous the crimes can get around here. One day, you’re called in to deal with a situation unlike any you’ve faced before. | 268 |
I'm more of an ideas man, not a field agent. I have a desk and a comfortable chair in an isolated corner of the Bureau of Superhuman Activities building in Langley. A whiteboard. I get paid to think, to plot, occasionally to review the plotting of others. I'm mostly ignored; a redundant cog in the ever churning wheels ... | 34 | Many high-level heroes or hero organizations will develop some kind of "contingency plan," some kind of being or system to stop them in case they go rogue. That's you, and you've just been activated. | 39 |
I fell asleep, finally, after thinking about another rough day at work. The mistakes I made today circled my mind like vultures, while the mistakes I made weeks ago were picking at the wounds they caused when they came back to haunt me today.
My mind circled through the ol’ “why do I always do this to myself?” and ... | 24 | You are cursed with a spell that when you open your eyes, you will fall in love with whomever you see. and then you see... | 39 |
Fα(U5T) hovered silently down the spotless, gleaming access corridor. Glittering status lights dotted the walls, pulsing rhythmically like the heartbeat of some vast sleeping giant. Countless metal doors flashed by on either side as the small robot flew unerringly towards its destination. Arriving at a spot seemingly i... | 39 | It's been centuries since the humans lost the war against the machines and were placed in suspended animation for their crimes. But you, a fledgling synthetic intelligence, are curious to see what a human is like in person. Perhaps one quick peek couldn't hurt... right? | 81 |
“I thought it would be bigger,” I said as I stared at the bed.
The Luthi who brought it in shrugged. “We hear that a lot. Apparently the dimensions are wrong.”
I stared at the bed for longer. I had ordered the new “Galactic-Emperor-Sized Bed”, in hopes of it being larger. I had the money to spend, but I was a little ... | 77 | You ordered a galactic emperor size bed. When it arrived it looked just a couple feet bigger than a king size. Now you're waking up, and there's only bed as far as the eye can see | 269 |
Most of the great wizards of the world had epithets fitting their status. Julian of the Third Eye, Markos Sorceries Bane, William Windwalker. Ezra the Abandoned did not have an epithet that anyone would be proud of. He had earned his epithet the day after he had earned his wizard's athame, when his newly named master h... | 976 | As a young wizard you uncovered an old spell that resurrects one of your eldest ancestor. You do so in curiosity, only to face one of the most feared creature the world ever experienced thousands of years ago. The creature recognizes you as its descendant while you stare at it in disbelief. | 3,315 |
On the day a Daughter of S'kan was to become a Mother, she would be taken to the shores of the Mirror, and told the True History of the Shining Beings.
Every word was carefully crafted, to be repeated only to their Daughters, when they were about to be Mothers themselves, such a Sacred History it was.
So the old Mo... | 355 | Humans finally achieve long distance space travel and discover other planets with life. Instead of being eons behind in technological advancements, as they expected to be, humans are actually the most advanced out of every planet visited so far. | 892 |
"Love is for fools," is what I used to say in the days before I met Arthur. A misguided journey that leads one not to happiness, but instead to the fractured life that comes as a consequence of irrational emotions. It seemed that those in love dropped all their pretenses and gave up the principles they held dear; right... | 15 | You are a misanthrope who starts falling in love with someone who has never hated anyone until they met you. | 117 |
Jod didn't move, he didn't blink, he just kept the figure in the corner of his eye right where they were. He could only just make out the dark magic orbiting their hand but so long as he didn't do anything stupid, everything was fine. He just had to last a short while longer on guard duty and he could-
He froze ... | 103 | The NPC perspective when the player does nonsensical things or uses idiotic tactics just to grind skills. | 141 |
I grumble as I shuffle to the door
"ALRIGHT! I'm coming for goodness sake. "
The banging stops as whoever it is hears me yelling, and the door stills in its frame.
I yank the door open to find the boy standing there. Eyes red rimmed, like he's been crying. I look at his clothes. Not cheap, that's for sure.
"Ha! ... | 41 | A few weeks after the curse was lifted, the prince finds he preferred life when he was a frog. Sneaking out of the castle one night he goes in search of the witch that first turned him, hoping she'll be able to do it again. | 146 |
When I rolled my eyes it was meant to be an expression of sarcasm. A non vocal way for me to say *Right now, I think you are an idiot*. So when the lady at the store register, apathetic as a human can be, said: "This box is already opened, you can't return it.", well she deserved an eye roll as much as any human I'd ev... | 92 | You roll your eyes so hard, they turn 180° and you lock eyes with the gremlin in your brain, who stares back in joint disbelief at the absolute non-sense they just heard. | 554 |
"Here, in the Arena, all are equal." The voice had said, its tone allowing no dissent. "All have been given the collective strength and intellect of their ancestors, and all will face each other in a brawl to decide the fates of their worlds. The faster you are eliminated, the lower in the hierarchy your world will pla... | 22 | In a magical arena of mages and spirits, a modern student is told he must fight wielding the powers of his ancestors, little do they know about Darwin’s theory of evolution | 38 |
"Well, that's might judgemental of you. Who are you to tell toothpaste what to do?"
Silas throws his hands up in the air.
"What the fuck Anna? Of course it can't explode, it goes in your fucking mouth!"
Anna's mouth opens to reply. Silas' eyebrow raises, and she rethinks what she was about to say. Their bodies begin... | 13 | "I'm swear, it's just toothpaste." "Toothpaste isn't supposed to explode!" | 31 |
“Thank you… uhh, Jeff,” Merimus said, reading his name tag, “for setting up my portal to the World Wide Web and teaching me to use the keyboard and mouse. These mice are odd but helpful. And the goo gull! Fascinating. Your squad of geeks is quite helpful. You are dismissed. I have searching to do.”
