Time Out [WP] You have the power to see five minutes into the future and manipulate minor events that happen in that timespan. No one takes you seriously. You're going to show them all why they should. ***** I don't know how it started, or why I was chosen. I always called them glitches in the Matrix - you know, after the movie - when it happens. The first time, I was young. I saw my death. I don't mean that in a gruesome way - I was just a kid, chasing a ball out into the…
@Ozzyy
Ten Times the Trouble [WP] Your superpower is the ability to create 11 clones of yourself. But you don’t fight crime, you live 11 different, secret lives. Last night one of you was murdered. If you don’t absorb the body soon, you’ll lose all the memories and the ability to recreate that clone. ***** The small room echoed with the sound of quickened panting as I started to accelerate the rhythm of my breath. With each inhale, the smell of burning incense and sage sank deeper…
@Ozzyy
Paradox **[WP] You've discovered that nothing can kill the hero until they beat the dark one. You and the hero are now working together to cure all previously incurable fatal diseases by infecting the hero with them and waiting to see how the universe conspires to cure them of it.** ***** "This is getting rather complicated," said Tom, expressing what was on everyone's mind in the room, which included Tom, the hero, the dark one, Jane from accounting, and Sylvie from…
@Ozzyy
A Stitch in Time **[WP] You’ve gone back in time and killed many of the worst people in history as children, making a better world. When you returned to your original time, however, you see that you are now seen as “a time-traveling lunatic who murdered a lot of innocent children” and are now wanted by the law.** ***** You remember everything. The world is not the way you left it. You spend six years adjusting to the differences. This part of your hometown should be green…
@Ozzyy
The Giant's Song [WP] "Before I cure your wife, you must promise to give me the child." "What do you want with our child?" "Who said I wanted your child? You're feeding a pregnant woman magic cabbage, that's going to have an effect on the baby. I need to raise it incase they breath fire or something." ***** My first birthday nearly ended the world. I'm twenty now, and every year, to celebrate my birthday, gangs of people search through the woods hoping to find me. Hoping for…
@Ozzyy
The Thing. [WP] The three rules have been passed down from generation to generation: One, when it visits, do not refuse it entry. Two, when it offers a gift, do not reject its generosity. Three, when it leaves, do not turn your back until it is no longer in sight. In this way, our family has been kept safe. ***** Three soldiers wound their way up our garden path as the whole town burned behind them. Smoke coiled up into the sky from the church. That’s where they took…
@Ozzyy
In the Lions' Den [WP] You belong to a family of four kids. Your father is a well-known crime lord, your older brother runs a black market operation, your older sister is in a motorbiker gang and your little sister is running her own mafia. You on the other hand are a detective. Meeting family is always a bit awkward. ***** “Oh, if it isn’t our little detective. I saw you put one of my dealers in jail. Big bust, the newspapers called it. You’re lucky you’re my son or they…
@Ozzyy
The Girl, The Admiral, and The Wardrobe **[WP] Any time you enter a closet or other small space, you have a chance of being transported to a whimsical magical kingdom where you have adventures that last years, but you always return at the exact moment you left. It's a gigantic pain in the neck, and you're completely fed up with it.** ***** “It’s on the top shelf, Sophie, and please be careful! It’s grandma’s favorite piece.” Sophie dragged the step stool into the far corner…

Tales by Moonlight They’d given us a big room on the second floor, with windows that faced west towards the setting sun. When I walked in all the lights were off. A few of the women held candles, and one of the men, a slim fellow well into his thirties, black hair swept back to frame a sharp widow’s peak, was playing idly with a flashlight. He cast shadows against the wall beside the door; they were playful until they turned into intertwining snakes. It was a writers’…
@Ozzyy
Kingmaker [WP] The rules of the land are very clear. Anyone can challenge the king for his crown, in any way they want (test of intelligence, strength, etc.), but the king gets to declare one condition that must be followed throughout the entirety of the challenge. ***** "And live at the scene now is Amanda Wallace. Amanda-" "Yes Jim, I'm live in the state capital where it seems someone has actually challenged the king for his crown! As you know king is the chosen title of…
@Ozzyy
Slice and Dice [WP] A legendary sword of power was lost in the final battle, shattered into many pieces... Thousands of years later, its broken shards ended up in the recycling plant, and repurposed into mundane, everyday items for the modern family. ***** Dinner was going well until Harold nearly broke his teeth on his fork. Coughing and spluttering, his teeth aching, he jumped out of his chair as if he had received an electric shock. "What the hell!" he shouted. "Harold!"…
@Ozzyy
Man's Trash, Dragon's Treasure [WP] The dragon's lair is not what you expected. Instead of the mountains of gold and magical artifacts of fantastical power, the lair is instead filled with display cases of historically significant but common items. It's not really a hoard, its more like a museum... they even do tours... ***** I stand before the undulated frame of the mighty dragon, Fafnir. It’s ebony scales gleam beneath the shafts of moonlight that seep through the cracks…

Thanks for the new sponsorship @Mictorrani
@Ozzyy
In Ink and In Blood [WP] Those who lives by the sword dies by the sword. A rather simple and merciful death. It's the scholars, who live by ink and paper, that face a truly tragic and brutal fate. ***** It was night again. Library-quiet, in a home that used to ring with snores. But the scholar Ren Daiyan was awake tonight, and the children had been taken down to the lake by their nursemaid and Daiyan’s manservant. Shan was gone, off to see a friend. She'd left the capital…
@Ozzyy
Succubus [WP] While sitting in class you absentmindedly doodle something in your notebook that looks like a rune. Suddenly your book begins to glow. Your teacher looks at you, sighs, and says “Looks like we have another one,” then turns and begins drawing mysterious symbols on the board. ***** "So...in 1482 witchcraft used to be practiced heavily in this region which centuries later became this province we live in, including our little village", Jed, or Mr. Parker as he was…
@Ozzyy
protégé [WP] You have drunkenly been discussing the Dark Lord with other tavern patrons, insulting him to no end. When someone storms up demanding you stop as he is one of the Dark Lords students. Strange thing is you don’t remember teaching this kid. Her eyes were like rubies ablaze. "Stop insulting the Dark Lord," she said from beneath a black hood, "or I'll make sure you'll never speak again." Spunky. He liked it. "Oh yeah?" the Dark Lord teased. "How are you gonna do…
@Ozzyy
Time Past [WP] You're a plucky 12 year old in 1980s suburban America and you and your friends are convinced something is up with your neighbor. He has a weird collection of surgical masks, laughed nervously one time you mentioned a certain real-estate mogul, and says weird words like based, sus, and ratio'd. ***** "Maybe he just likes to wear it, like a ninja or something." "A ninja? You ever seen a ninja with a bright blue mask?" The two kids stood outside Sam's house. He…
@Ozzyy
Out of Sight... [WP] You are the test subject for an experimental surgery to see wavelengths of light that humans normally cannot see. As you adjust to your new vision, you see one person in the corner furiously taking notes. "Who is that?" you ask. "Who is what?" asks the doctor, looking at the empty corner. ***** "All five fingers," I said to him with my new eyes. Everything still looked the same. "Good. Now try to focus on my light." Doctor Evans pulled out a penlight and…
@Ozzyy
Memoirs of a Zombie Hunter [WP] When the zombie virus broke out, you were prepared. You quickly became the country's #1 zombie hunter - until science found the antidote to the virus that turns zombies into healthy humans again, retroactively making you the #1 mass murderer. ***** I was what you would call an outcast, a loner really. I was good at making things, whether it was repairing electronics, fixing cars, or building some kind of new quirky invention. I was pretty good…
@Ozzyy
Jobberman [WP] A corporate interviewer, under investigation by HR for biased hiring, MUST hire the next person to avoid suspicion. But that person just so happens to be a person FORCED to apply who is trying to bomb their interview on purpose. ***** All throughout history, great battles were determined not by the will of the armies, but by the determination of the men commanding them. Today, two modern gladiators stepped into the coliseum that was the corporate world, each…
@Ozzyy
the thunderstruck [WP] You are the weakest swordsman at the academy. One day your instructor pulls you aside and brings you an object wrapped in cloth. Inside is a small twig. "Some people were never meant to wield a sword. Centuries ago, these 'wands' held great power. Maybe you can make this one work." ***** In the light of noon, Gish’s sword fell to the youngest student at the academy. The two shook hands and Gish went to hide in the shade of an oak tree. The tree was…
@Ozzyy
Friendly Fire [WP] He is called simply The Surgeon, and everyone knows that his OR is neutral ground. Heroes and villains alike seek his aid when injured. You're a hero, just in for some stitches, but waiting in the lobby is a villain you've tangled with before, and they're weeping. ***** “Sky Master?" The Nurse asked out loud, reading a name off the sign in sheet. I stood up and walked to the reception's desk. "Here, fill this out,” The Nurse told me. I thanked her, took…
@Ozzyy
Swords and Hammers [WP] The prophecy states that only the chosen one can pull the sword from the stone. The Dark Lord, not one to be held back by prophecies and mythos, upheaves the stone itself and carves it into a hammer, using the still-bound sword as the hammer's hilt. ***** "Unhand that sword." The prophecized hero stood before me, an inferior sword in his hands as he faces off with me. "Wot's that?" My snarky response makes his already angry face pinch tighter. "You…
@Ozzyy
The Hard Way [WP] The galaxy is a dark and lonely place. "First Strike Diplomacy" reigns out of fear. Few species survive even 300 years after developing interstellar travel. When humans entered the galaxy, we were the first species confident enough in war to ask someone "Are you sure you want to do this?" ***** Faster than Light , or FTL travel proved to be as much a fantasy in space as planets teeming with life. For the first hundred systems the human race touched, going…
@Ozzyy
Ascent [WP] Everyone's heard of the fallen angels, but you are the first ascended demon. ***** We are not given to choose. That - no matter whether it revealed itself in lust or wrath or gluttony - is the root of every Fall. The mortals, with their little brutish lives, are given choice, freedom, will - they can step aside from the narrow path, ignore the clarion call, and yet still avoid exile and damnation, should they only turn back before the end. Yet we - the first,…
@Ozzyy
First Impression [WP] You've been in this time loop for centuries. You know how to break the loop already, you just want to make sure you've done all you wanted and learned everything you need while you're still here, before returning to a "normal" life. ***** Do you think people exist in this world who are never meant to be together? Like water and oil, two forces that repel, no matter what? Fire and ice, north and south -- do relationships like that exist? She put my heart…
@Ozzyy
Hand of Death [WP] At 18 you got your power; the ability to vaporize anyone you wish with just a touch. By 38 you’re the most feared villain the world has known. However, exactly 20 years to the day, your first victim rematerializes. Turns out you’ve just been sending people 20 years into the future all this time ***** Valik had no mercy for others. Whoever dared to get in his way would be vaporized. The news constantly filled with horrific sightings of the murderer and…
@Ozzyy
the curse of immortality [WP] After a few million years you just remembered you cursed a mortal with eternal life. It was only meant for a few hundred years to teach him a lesson. ***** Paul Krill was born on January 7th, 1990. He was well loved by his parents, patient with his friends. He grew up kind, he studied to become a librarian and he did just that. Paul was generous. He read countless stories to children and helped the elderly find anything they needed in the…
@Ozzyy
The Princess and the Poacher [WP] You hear a rumour that there's a princess around, always surrounded by cute animals every time she sings. In this post-apocalyptic Disney wasteland, you could use a never ending source of meat... ***** It’s taken months to find her, but Jackson had finally done it. Or at least, he’d found her home. Sometimes, when the journey got tough, he’d wondered if her existence was merely a wishful myth. A folktale spread through the years to give hope…
@Ozzyy
Masked Man [WP] You, a superhero, are awful at keeping your identity secret, yet somehow no villains have found you yet. 1 day after accidentally unmasking for the 30th time, you look online to find that the unmasked pictures of you are gone. There's a hackivist group dedicated to protecting your identity. ***** Megan didn’t expect a lot of things that happened after she had called her university’s security department for an escort to her car. For starters, she didn’t expect…
@Ozzyy
The Summoning of the Roomba [WP] It was supposed to be a routine software upgrade, but now roombas are tracing pentagrams and summoning minor demons all across the country. You work in tech support. ***** It started off as any other regular Monday. David brewed his coffee, poured out Mochi's daily kibble, and ate a bowl of steel-cut oats. He was feeling a little frisky that morning, so he added in two generous dashes of cinnamon. At 9:00 sharp, he trotted into his home…
@Ozzyy
The Legend of Rivis [WP] The summoned hero was neither a fighter nor a magic caster. He called himself a "new-clee-ar fizz-izz-ist" whatever that means. Now he has sent you to collect a special rock for him. Why he would need a rock, you will never know, but he even gave you a device that clicks when you find it. ***** Edris the ancient hadn't explained much to his young apprentice, he'd simply given him some chalk, and told him to draw a pattern, then immersed himself in…
