The Necromancer's Proposal [WP] People assume a kingdom ruled by a Necromancer as being hell, actually it's a pretty sweet gig where you sell years of work in death to live super comftorble lives, now if only heros would stop trying to spoil it for everyone else... ***** It is hard to explain what coming back to life feels like. Perhaps, if he had some time to consider, he could put the experience into words. Being dead was not what he expected. There was no eternal rest for…
The Return of the Sojourners [WP] You are a leader of a human colony that long lost contact with Earth, when at one day they show up and greet you as the first Alien race they met. You realize that years of genetic alterations and environmental effects made your people quite different from "standard" humans... ***** The colony had left earth 500 years ago. Our species was dying on the planets surface along with everything else. Instead of war, our leaders came together and a…
Consensual Vampirism [WP] Since it was decreed that consent is needed to turn humans into Vampires, the Vampire Population has dwindled over the recent years. Now vampires have missionaries to try convince people to convert to vampirism. Vampire missionaries have come knocking at your door. ***** I groan as I hear a loud knocking at my door. I am relaxing after getting off work, and the last thing I want is to talk to people. So what if I'm working from home? The customer…
Travellers [WP] You discover the answer to the question "If time travel is possible, where are all the time travellers from the future?" It turns out just nobody wants to time travel to the 21st century. You go back in time to the feudal ages and find a whole community of nerdy fantasy-loving time travellers. ***** People thought we were building a thorium regent, seven-step breeder reactor to bring it down to lead. We pushed the media to show the benefit of how this was the…
Eternal Damnation [WP] After eons of refining your work, you summon the genie one last time. "Finally want to use your third wish? I thought the last two has taught you a lesson." You remain silent, and give him a dictionary-thick contract that cast the genie an unavoidable sufferings for eons, and inevitable death. ***** Robert stared deeply into the eyes of the genie, attempting to pierce into it’s mind to read its thoughts; as hefted a 456 page document, bound into a…
Insane World [WP] The zone of madness was thought impossible to traverse. The Federation of planets was, needless to say, intensely distressed by the news of an unknown ship emerging from the zone. They call themselves "human" and originate from near the center of the zone. ***** Around captain Zarzak, his crew who were already aiming their guns at what they had assumed was but another a unauthorized smuggler ship skirting into the edge of the Madness Zone, came to a lull as…
Unwanted Reputation [WP] As a villain henchman, the number 1 rule you're always taught is to never outshine the boss. However, during a small bank heist, you accidentally kill your boss' arch nemesis, and the legion of superheroes now see YOU as their ultimate threat. ***** "Today will be for many of you, the first in the fire. Will it scald or will it temper?" I was smart enough to know Dread Gaze didn't expect an answer, as were the nameless henchmen beside me. Walking…
scary timeskip **[WP] Your superpower is Montage, the ability to set a task and then fast-forward through it without aging. You usually use the ability to bypass boring bits, like building things or travelling. After setting a simple goal, you activate the ability and when it finishes, decades have passed.** ***** "Think, Skip. THINK!" Skip paced around the small unfamiliar apartment room. The more he let the situation dawned on him, the more unsettled he became. What…
Reverse Summoning [WP] Much like how a desperate human might summon a demon to make a contract for power or immortality you find yourself summoned in hell by a demon trying to negotiate a contract for what seems to you like mundane advice and aid. ***** "Here, you probably want to put this on." The demon threw me what looked like a hazmat suit. "You aren't used to the smells down here. "What the Hell?" I mumbled while putting on the suit. "We have a short walk to the office.…
broken character [WP] Your roommate is a hulking demon, a former warlord with millennia of combat experience, and the picture of menace and brutality. You just caught them halfway through a gallon-sized bucket of your favorite ice cream, frozen like a deer in headlights. *** **contains inaccurate descriptions of religious events and a lot of tropes.** *** I blinked, my gaze repeated snapping to the ice cream and my roommate's face. "I can explain," he said, setting the tub…
Emissary of Hate Many years of being a hopeless romantic had made me into the man I was – hopeless indeed, but not a romantic. I had tried my hand at love, and not once did I enjoy the benefits. My love was hardly ever reciprocated, and even when it was, I cannot say that I experienced periods of happiness, except when I finally got married. Elaine was a godsend of a wife. I met her on my first day of work as my fellow newbie, undergoing training, and it was a marvelous…
Error in Transmission [WP] As a thief called Alyssa, you can’t be blamed for mishearing your client say “Steal the moon, Alyssa” instead of their actual request to “Steal the Mona Lisa” ***** They had come alone. I resisted the urge to let out a sigh of relief. The chance for a double cross was still there, the billowing cloak my illustrious buyer wore to help keep everything anonymous could be concealing anything from a pistol to a longsword if they were feeling…
A Whole New World **WP] The world seems to be your average sword and sorcery world. You, a young adventurer have descended down into a forgotten tomb. There, you find strange metals and plastics. Lights come on without torches. A man made of metal awakens, stumbling toward you. "What year is it?" he asks** ***** Angus was disoriented by the blare of noise and light which were an affront to his senses. The room was awash with a fluorescent glow, the metallic walls were cool…
