[WP] Your job description: 1) Sit in an empty room with a red button for 8 hours a day. 2) NEVER press the red button, no matter what happens. 3) Do not talk to anyone about the job. After many uneventful years, your phone rings and a stern, slightly panicked voice says: „Press the button. NOW!!“ | Sarah held the receiver away from her ear and stared at it, brows furrowed, as if the voice on the other end had asked her to begin dancing the Macarena while reciting the ABCs in reverse order. Finally, she spoke. "What?"
"Didn't you hear me?" The voice asked, now sounding slightly annoyed. "I said press the button, ... | \[Back up. Planned.\]
"And...," Jane stood at her desk and gave a tall stretch as she yawned. She finished stretching right as the clock turned 8:00. She reached down and pressed a key on the keyboard. "...I'm on duty," She immediately spun around and headed to the kitchen.

[WP] You are the child of two famous superheroes and their nemesis has kidnapped you in the hopes of getting under their skin. A week later your parents still haven't come to rescue you. | I sat on the old bed in my cell, well, less of a cell and more of an old bedroom somewhere, a thick locked door and the lack of windows was the only thing slightly abnormal. It was small and cramped, but I was allowed to sleep, I was fed regularly and Lord Volt even gave me a couple of books to read. I heard footsteps ... | They're arguing again. One of them - there are at least four, although they talk about someone who is involved but has never been here, presumably the leader or mastermind - is convinced you're never coming, Dad.

[WP] You have been Isekai-ed! Isn't that great? Except when you look around you, you see those who summoned you are horrified. Apparently they are the "subhuman" resistance group of Elves, Dwarves, and Beastkins who tried to summon a hero from another world to defeat the evil tyrant human Emperor. | wait, why did it summon a human??"
I glanced at the Magic circle on the stone floor. The elves, who had great magical capacity were now sprawled on the ground, exhausted. According to the books, the more powerful the hero was, the more magic it was needed to summon them. And since we expended a great amount of it, we ... | I turned over in my bed that felt incredibly hard for some reason.

[WP] As a necromancer, you are in the business of reanimating the dead for a few days at a time. Families say goodbye, businesses get cooperate secrets, scientists test their drugs, etc. The more they pay, the better they are restored and the longer they stay, as it does take a lot out of you. | Elgar knew the family would soon enter his bare, but warm office. The weeping from the visitation room dwindling down always meant they were almost done. Four hundred and seventy three. That was how many children Elgar brought back to life, just to hear the sobs of their parents when they inevitably passed away aga... | Miranda nervously fidgeted at the sleeve of her long coat.

You’ve just killed your only colleague because the mysterious figures hidden in the snowstorm told you to do it. | I sigh, sliding out of the cab with practiced ease.

[WP] Offering the dragon marriage into the royal family had been a power play on the king's part, a way to intimidate the kingdom's enemies. He had not anticipated the dragon actually accepting the offer. | "You mean Magnus of course. My eldest." The king said incredulously to the Dragon Queen.
The tall, imposing women in black and red shook her head adamantly. "I meant Maximus. I accepted your offer and you said I could choose any of your sons. I pick Maximus."
The king stammered for several moments, trying to find wor... | King Thain had been under rather extreme duress over the past decade.

[WP] After months, the villain finds the hero, but upon arriving at his home, he discovers the hero in a stained robe, baby food splattered, huge dark circles under his eyes, and a non-stop crying baby. The only thing the hero says is, "My wife left me." | “My wife left me,” his voice was rough and on the verge of cracking. I hadn’t seen him like this in several years.
Golden Boy as I called him, Sunbeam as the public knew him wasn’t the one standing before me. It was Aleksander, Alek.
Sympathy ran through me at the sight of the Hero. My former best friend, ex-lover, ... | "My wife left me."
"I know." I said, keeping my voice very even. I looked at the un-vacuumed carpet, the stains on the wallpaper. "Frankly I expected you to manage better."

[WP]You reincarnated in a fantasy world, but when you go check your stats, everything seems to be really average, until you put your eyes on charisma, that is on 200 points | "Hey, ye, you're finally awake," spoke the old farmer. I found myself lying in a bag of hay, at the back of a drawn cart. My confusion was indescribable, but hey, at least I was comfortable. "Found you lyin' drunk near the river, so I decided I should help ye, fella."
Ah, so that's how I came into this world.... | That, you see, was the beginning of the end. I truly wish I could go back. Do so many things differently.

You arrive at their church only to find your Angel child consoling her Demon brother as dead cultists are littlered around the church and the leader terrified in a corner. | They thought I wouldn't come. They thought I would just let it slide, after all "Adopted children aren't Really Yours" those words stung every time and normally I had to clench my fist, grit my teeth and at most lash out with my tongue when someone said them.

[WP] You were sure your girlfriend knew your secret identity, so you were happy to flirt with her both in and out of costume. But today she confessed to cheating on you. With you. | She had been pacing for a while.
She went back and forth on the patio while he watched TV. To anyone else, it'd be concerning, but to Simon, he didn't pay her much mind. After a good year and a half, he knew she paced while simply thinking about her favorite shows, books, and other unserious matters. He usually left ... | In a confusing twist, my girlfriend confessed she was cheating on me... with me. I was both the other man and the boyfriend.

[WP] your girlfriend turned into a "hideous monster". while of course you supported her and promised to help her on her quest to turn back, on the inside you're struggling to find a way to confess that you're really into her new form. | Everyone’s heard the horrible mother-in-law jokes, right? Good, that will save us some time. While she isn’t my mother-in-law yet, at least not in a legal sense since we haven’t married, I still consider her family, even after what she did to my girlfriend.

[WP] "You never killed him! He kept committing crimes and hurting and killing people and you just LET HIM! So we, the citizens, did it FOR YOU!" The supervillain's corpse twitched as the hero asked, "Did you ever stop and wonder why? I can't help you anymore. So I'm leaving this planet. Good luck." | Carlis floated down from the Apsa skyscraper, sailing past its windows before landing on the road. As he made his landing, his cape fluttered upwards, exposing the blue bruises that stained his purple skin. The costume he wore was as battered as his body was. Yet in the end, he had been victorious, sending the villain ... | I barely started my daily patrol, on my usual route, when a group of civilians, crowded me.

He doesn't want her hand he just thinks teenage girls shouldn't be held captive in towers in the middle of nowhere. | Sir Lawrence third of his name hefted his armour clad form over the towers stone windowsill with a grunt.

[WP] Turns out the Fermi Paradox isn't a paradox at all. Alien life does exist and it is all around us. Humanity's definition of what constitutes life is just so narrow that we do not classify it as life. The aliens have found out and taken offence. | To Whom It May Concern,
We, the Population of life different to Yours, have taken the pains to learn Your language and mannerisms to bring forth this notice regarding Your definition of Living Beings. We have discovered, through careful observation, that Your species, though celebrated as intelligent, has failed to ac... | This is the ultimate arrogance of the frail carbon life.

[WP] After Earth was declared a galactic safe haven, anti-xenoterrestrial sentiment began to rise. You, a second generation immigrant from another planet, calmly walk down the street when a voice yells at you "Go back to Mars!" You snap back "I was born in Chicago!" | Director Atanas stretched in his chair, cracking his neck as he finished reading the numerous reports from his team.

[WP] You've just joined an adventuring party. The rogue wordlessly gives you a handkerchief and slinks away. "Ah, it's his way of handling his kleptomania. Instead of stealing things at random, he'll be going specifically for that." | At first, I thought it was just hazing the new healer.

The only one you really have left in your life is your horse, who also made the mistake of drinking from it. | Immortality is running through the veins of my body; completely replacing the stream of blood that once was in its place.

[WP] The king has the ability to see team colors. Everyone who's working towards the same goal as a group appears to be wearing the same color, regardless of what color their clothes actually are. This makes conspiring against him really, really hard. | Everyone thought the King won’t be too wise for the throne when he was little. They all call little Iosua insane, weird and paranoid as a kid. He’s seeing things no other can see. But he was the only heir to the throne. He’s the only one they have to inherit the crown of the kingdom.
He was known to be color blind. B... | Most of the people on my staff are wearing a brilliant purple that almost perfectly matches the flag sitting behind the throne. I know they are loyal because they are the people closest to me.

[WP]"Get rid of them." You hiss to your servant. You were the least favorite of your royal parents, which suited you just fine. You ruled a once destitute border region, which flourished due to your abilities. You hate when any family member visits you. | "Get rid of them. Tell them that I recently caught that plague that has been going around the neighboring kingdom and is bedridden and near death!"
I hissed to the Axton. He sighs and replies.

[WP] You have lost count of how many time travelers have come to kill you. You don't know why they came and at this point you don't care. You will become what they fear simply out of spite. | In the beginning, it was disorienting.

The Z-Team. | “Doesn’t it make more sense to send us in first?” Papa Roach asked, earning the nickname after making too many last resort jokes. The other members of the Z-team merely moaned, always having the same discussion whenever a new member joined the squad. They hoped the clacking of helicopter blades would drown him out, but... | *In 2018, the American armed forces conducted a sweep of its least capable servicemen in an effort to free up resources and improve the quality of their personnel.

[WP] You recently discovered that your father, whom you never knew, is actually a crime-fighter with no free time, and he is unaware that you are his son. In order to talk to him, you become a villain. | Most cops worship at the altar of The Shriek, and those of us who don't are careful to keep it to ourselves. Don't get me wrong, if they had to, they'd arrest him on sight. That is, while on sight of people bound to make a fuss if they see an LEO asking him for his autograph.
The few cops who don't like him are the ... | Chunks of drywall and chipped off wood litter the floor.

[WP] You just discovered your 14 year old daughters Moon Princess locket that allows her to transform into one of the worlds greatest heroes. It also is a communications device and you are about to give the Moon Goddess a piece of your mind for letting 14 year old's defend the world against evil. | "Lord forgive me for the ass I'm gonna beat today."
I was standing by the window, waiting for my guest to arrive. Naomi was passed out in her bed with an ice pack over her black eye. And I had some choice words for the person responsible.
The moonlight shined through the window at last. A woman faded into existence, ... | \[Goddess' Perspective\]
"Sorry, who are-,"
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!" Carrie screamed. She had been about to give the so-called 'Moon Goddess' a piece of her mind when a black hole suddenly appeared in her daughter's bedroom.

[WP] You are a budget mage. While most of your colleagues use costly ingredients, rituals that take weeks to prepare and use a new spell for every problem, you only know a few spells, use common household ingredients and prepare rituals within minutes. They unjustly deride your work as shoddy. | "THAT SHOULDN'T WORK!"
"_Well it did, you saw for yourself._"

[WP] In the year 2523, humanity has evolved past disease, famine, and violence. We've invented a clock that automatically updates with our time until extinction. Our goal as a species is to keep the clock moving forward. Today, it suddenly reversed and is ticking down from 36 hours. | The clock started to tick down. 36h.

Everybody was surprised. Meeting between chief of state were organized. Scientific started to study all possible side effect of current projects. Even low energy particle accelerator were stopped.
The clock ticked. 23.
Panic started to spread in the world.

[WP] A stranger hands you the largest emerald you’ve ever seen and asks for some sticks. Jokingly, you say you’ll need 3 of them for 12 sticks. He hands them over. | There he was, standing before me, seemingly a well-put together man in his mid 30s, eager to exchange 3 large emeralds for 12 sticks.
Should I worry for this stranger’s sanity? Was he an actor hired by one of those shows that enact crazy social experiments to test the public’s honesty? Was he like the “Into the Wild” ... | "No way these are real," I told the boy, who looked about seven. He handed me three green stones, which to my untrained eye looked like emeralds. I knew better.

[WP] As the princess and heir apparent of the kingdom you are the most sought after woman in the whole kingdom, with suitors lining up every day to ask for your hand in marriage. Today you finally accept the proposal of a suitor, causing a massive scandal. | Krexavit finished scratching the last rune on the dining table, then pressed his hand into two of the runes and chanted. Grandma Kromp did not look impressed.
"Is it done yet? Can we eat?"
"You may eat now," Krexavit replied, wiping the sweat from his brow. He had worked just as hard as everyone else had in the kitch... | I mean, in retrospect it was an obvious choice, and also a twist of irony for me to end up marrying the only man that didn't ask first.

My wife was still out working, so I had to have a talk with him.
Entering his room, I saw him weightlifting his special weights...they weighed like ten tons.

[WP]You reincarnated in a fantasy world, but when you go check your stats, everything seems to be really average, until you put your eyes on charisma, that is on 200 points | As I wake, I hear moaning. Not the usual moans of agony I’ve become used to, punctuated with screams and gunfire. Soft, constant moaning. From all around me.

Seems awfully low, but what does the luck stat even do in a game, anyway? What even is considered luck? At least my strength and defense stat are average.

Trapped in my house, which seemed to be burning down around me.

[WP] You are a lawyer assigned to defend a serial killer, who was arrested because his house was filled with mounted human corpses. He claims he is actually from a lineage of Dragonslayers, and those are the human forms of dragons he'd slain in modern times. You are a dragon in human form. | The man shot up and back in an instant, instinctively jerking away, though the chains binding him to a barren, metal table cut his movement short.

High above the towering skyscrapers of Star City floated the massive flying fortress of Dr. Neutron affectionately dubbed the 'War Zeppelin'. Despite looking like it was plucked from a bygone era the zeppelin contained technology far beyond that of even the most advanced fighter jet. While it's primary... | Crack!
The sounds of an intense battle fill the surrounding air. Two hooded figures flit back and forth between trees, sending flurries of punches and kicks at each other.

[WP] The dragon spoke, "Release my human, and we will leave you all in peace. Do not, and I will reduce your walls to rubble to rescue them myself." | Apparently, "Heroing Without A License" is a capital offense in the Country of Blister.

[WP] The dark forest hypothesis is correct. There are many civilizations that exist in the universe, but keep silent in fear of the "hunters in the woods." So, instead of hiding in fear, why not become an angler fish? | "Perhaps I am a coward for being glad that I cannot see you. Maybe I am selfish for part of me wishing that I could. I...

But you're pretty sure you saw a dodo a couple aisles ago, and this painting looks a lot like the genuine Mona Lisa. | The king stood on his balcony, like he did every morning. The jewels and gold that coated him, glistening in the sun’s glorious light. He was a figure of god, a man blessed by the heavens. Luck didn’t determine someone’s birthright. No, you had to be chosen for the position. Men like him were the only ones worthy of be... | "The pentagram on the bottle didn't tip you off?"

Instead, in front of him at the pearly gates was a dog toy that looked like a duck.
