Post Score Posted [WP] Two rival sorceresses finally reach a legendary treasure said to grant one's greatest desire. Inside the chest, they find a marriage certificate bearing both their names. 387 4d ago [WP] As a cat its your job to feed your human, usually they're dumb and clumsy. Except for once a month, when they grow big and strong for a night and bring back a big kill after the moon sets, you don't know why they can't be like all the time, but you're just glad they can take care of themselves. 375 7d ago [WP] you're a member of an alien police force. Recently you got stuck with the new recruit from someplace called "earth". Like everyone else you don't think much of them, until they experience a bout of hysterical strength and save a life. 368 6d ago [WP] After your coronation you try to take the crown off at night but it won't budge. Your vizier enters the room. "That is the dark secret of why our kings die young. It will shrink each day. Make the best of the time you have, your highness." 355 5d ago [WP] "For your crimes, I issue the most severe punishment that dwarven law allows. Tomorrow your beard shall be shaven, and a hair-killing elixir will be applied to your face. Take him away." 322 5d ago [WP] You are sterile. You spend your time annoying witches that place curses on your firstborn. 308 3d ago [WP] There's a very good reason why otherworldly deities always choose depressed lonely nobodies as the people to be isekai'd into their fantasy worlds, that reason is you: a father who had a wife and child before he was suddenly had his entire life taken away from him by a truck. 283 7d ago [WP] Being the crown prince was a heavy burden—one you wanted to escape more than anything. One night, without telling a soul, you and your girlfriend ran away. Six months have passed, and strangely enough, no one seems to be looking for you. 281 6d ago [WP]15 years ago, when your best Friend became King, he gave you a Letter with the Words: "If i ever become a Tyrant, you'll need it.". Today you finally had to open the Letter. It read: "Friend. If you have to read this, I've become a Tyrant. Please kill me before I get even worse. I'm sorry" 265 4d ago [WP] "You have arrived in my lair- Welcome to the Forrest of Eternal Night," A disembodied voice cackles. You look around in innocent wonder. "Pardon me, but How are there so many living trees here if there isn't enough sunlight for photosynthesis?" You ask. 241 3d ago
