[WP] In this world healers, while respected, are often looked down upon due to their limited offensive capabilities. One day your party is completely wiped out, and the world finds out just how dangerous knowledge of human anatomy can be. | I used to draw upon my own strength, magically enhanced, to heal my companions.

If you don't, it's a claymore mine loaded with one-inch steel balls that'll turn you to mist. So what will it be?" | "Claymore."
The din of the park seems to fade out a little as he keeps looking at me, face unchanged.

[WP] You are kidnapped by the villain regularly, but you’re starting to look forward to it. You know they won’t hurt you, and are simply being dramatic. It also doesn’t help that you are the only person they ever kidnap.

[WP] You sell cursed weapons and market them as enchanted. Most people who visit more than once do so in an attempt to return their weapon, but today a rather chipper adventurer has come back to ask for an offhand weapon to go with the cursed blade they purchased yesterday. | *That man should be dead.*
Those were the words Octen thought as he saw his most recent customer stroll across the street and enter his shop. Segal grinned widely, a sight so unusual it made Octen cringe. The shopkeeper scanned the man over, looking for signs that the curse had backfired unexpectedly, but only winced ... | Love this prompt!

She waltzed into the 'Ol Curio' with not an ounce of the malice. While you could hear other adventurers cursing from outside the shop, this hero had no hostility about her. In fact, she came in with a smile. This was certainly the first time Akshel had seen one on a repeat customer.

[WP] You used to be the scourge of kingdoms, the reaper of heroes and the mere mention of your name scared even the toughest of them. But today no one remembers you and you are fine with that. You have lived in peace ever since until one day a stranger approaches you and calls you by your true name. | "Can I get you anything?"
I smiled at the table's lone occupant, one of the few seats currently filled in the tavern. He looked up at me, grey eyes watching below bushy eyebrows.

[WP] You and the over scientists have been secretly working away at creating a serum to create supersoldier. One day you overhear what the boss plans to do with it when you all finally get it right; he wants to contaminate the water supply and turn everyone in the city into superpowered humans. | I just overheard my boss explain his plan to contaminate the water supply with the super soldier serum that my team has been working on.

[WP] You pretend to be a small-time villain. At most, you annoy the local supers but your crimes never hurt anyone. To you it's all good fun. Things change when a truly sadistic super villain invades your turf and murders a few of the supers. No one has seen the extent of your true powers until now. | When people decide to become superheros, they usually end up in one of 2 categories: holier than thou over the top doo-gooder or the broody avenger, protecting the innocent that will never know.

"Well, no, not really. But that artillery has caught my eye."

[WP] When his champion returned after many years, proudly spouting off his many accomplishments, the God could only stare, dumbfounded. "What the hell do you mean you saved the world? You were supposed to destroy it!" | "What the hell do you mean save the world? You were supposed to destroy it!"
The champion blinked like a deer looking at a car. The voice of her God was like a shambling mountain. Unstoppable, heavy, ancient. It would have crushed any being that had not received his favour.

[WP] A famous prompt: Describe a barn as seen by a man whose son has just been killed in a war. Do not mention the son, or war, or death. Do not mention the man who does the seeing. | On a hill stands a barn. In the barn stands a horse. This horse had been there since it was a foal. There it was born, there it grew and there it lives now. But it will not die there. For the horse has grown strong, the horse had grown tall. He will board a truck that will take him to a racetrack.

“And those are your only rules?” I say enthusiastically.
“Yes that is all, but be warned I am a genie.”

[WP] "No man might draw this sword, else his body wither, and scatter as dust on the wind" You grab the sword from your unconscious, knight companion mid-combat, and fight off the Lich.

"But! But that's the cursed sword!"
"Oh shit..." In the heat of battle I'd forgotten. "Well... I feel fine?"
"Are you... not a man, in some fashion, to be exempt from the curse?" the knight asks after a confused pause.
"No, I'm definitely a man." I confirm. "I have no idea. What exactly is... | “Father… what?” My knight daughter said, staring at the sword in confusion as I put it and the scabbard at her feet.

[WP] "Oh, you didn't actually trick that demon, they let you get away. They let a few people win every generation so the next lot of idiots think they have a chance of making a deal without losing their soul." | I returned happily from the crossroads, content to continue my happy life.
I stopped by a fast-food restaurant, to get some takeout for my loving family.

[WP] You wake up in a hospital with police officers questioning you. You have no memory of what happened, and are forced to use your text messages to put everything together. | "Why would you even ask such a question?" My head priest Alfred didn't understand the point of the hypothetical scenario presented to him. "Also, why the count down timer?"

[WP] "God can come have coffee with me if he's really interested." You said, shutting the door on some irritating guys with pamphlets. The very next day, God taps lightly on your door, to have a coffee. | No one appears to be outside when I check the window.
I open the door to see if a package was left, and a black and white cat waltzes in.
"Hello everyone, just come for a chat." The cat says, walking past our dogs and hopping onto the dining room table.
All I can reply with is a short "Uhh.."

[WP] Rumors say that the dowager queen is cursed, but by marrying her you will rule the most powerful kingdom in the land. It’s the wedding day and before the ceremony starts you hear the servants gossip that you’re the 5th person, all the previous kings had died exactly five days after marriage. | Dawn of the fifth day.

[WP] The Elven Kingdoms call their old allies the Humans for aid. Expecting medieval armies, they get a modern 21st century one instead. | Today is the day we all die.
For aeons, we have held the line against darkness. For as long as anyone can remember, we have sacrificed men, women and children in this eternal war against evil.

[WP] You’re a ghost, passed away in an unfortunate accident. You’re still attached to the house you lived in for your whole life, and you actually find the new residents quite pleasant, so you decide to “haunt” them in a more unorthodox way. | I have been in this house for a very, very long time.
I was once a wealthy recluse, choosing to divest myself of society due to at the time rising acceptance of certain proclivities that I had found distasteful.

[WP] The princess was given a curse where her first husband would die a horrible death. In order to avoid this fate, the royal family used you as scapegoat and married you to the princess, but because of your immortality you have now died over 10 times and still continue to come back to life. | It's never nice. I just want to get that clear right away. The death is never nice. These are painful, slow, and disgusting affairs. Just horrible.
I also want to say, I didn't know I would revive when I went through with the plan. I was raised by a single mother, with a half dozen younger siblings. I had never found ... | ##Till Death Do You....Do You...Do You?

[WP] "Your total will be...wait this can't be right." The cashier turned around and called the manager over. The manager then quickly shooed the employee away as they took over at the register.

[WP] Most immortals become the angsty “everyone I have ever loved is gone” kind of immortal. You, on the other hand, instead took it upon yourself to be a loving presence to entire generations of your chosen family, because they are descended from someone you once loved long ago. | You know, she said this would happen. Yet I didn’t care.

An old-looking man looks up at you, and says, "Finally, someone else! It's been ages!" | After calming me down (i had just died, i was understandably a little agitated) he sat me down to explain heaven.
