[WP] A while back, you and your friends started praying to a goddess you had made up as a joke. Unbeknownst to you, your constant prayers have made the goddess real and she’s eager to reward her faithful followers.

[WP] Much like dinosaurs, mythical dragons have all gone extinct. What people don't know is that, like dinosaurs, the dragons also have their descendants. One day on your farm, you encounter a talking, ember-spitting chicken, bent on "restoring their clan."

[WP] Once chosen by a creature, a person may harness its power. Your family has always had a connection to dragons but on the coming of age ceremony, the dragons turn away from you. Instead, a lone phoenix flies to your side.

[WP] For 2 years now you've woken up every day with a different face. Every night your body changes: age, sex, ethnicity, height... Your memories, brain, clothes, house stay the same. Only your appearance changes. Living like this is hell.

[WP] During a near-death experience, you came face-to-face with the God of Death, and pleaded to be returned to the world of the living. He granted your request, and sent you away with the chilling parting words: "Why should I regret letting one soul go, when I stand to gain so many more in return?"

[WP] Watching an old comfort movie you'd seen hundreds of times, you jokingly call out "Don't go in there!" as the protagonist is about to walk into a trap. Unexpectedly, they stop before entering and the story begins to change.

[WP] "You misunderstand. I don't fight to the death because I'm brave, I fight to the death because I'm too much of a coward to face the consequences of defeat."

[WP] Life is simple, peaceful and quiet. You're enjoying life living just on the outskirts of the city. You keep such a low profile no-one should even know you exist. So why did the doorbell ring? You hesitantly answer.

[WP] You discovered the legendary monkey’s paw which can grant you any wish. Out of fatal curiosity, you wished for the rest of the monkey. A finger curled and your wish was granted. You then found yourself face-to-face with Sun Wukong himself: The Monkey King, Destroyer of Heavens.

[WP] The demon couldn't believe their luck to find such a willing victim to possess. However, instead of resisting like they usually do, this one said "Good luck. You'll need it."

[WP] The reality show 'The Secret Straight' begins. 11 gay guys and 1 straight guy pretending to be gay are put in a house, the gay guys have to find the straight guy to win, the straight guy has to not be found out. The fiendish twist, they are all straight and think that they are the mole.

[WP] "The Council is in agreement. The Chosen One will be raised, not by one race, but by all. She shall learn politics from the humans, magic from the elves, survivalism from the goblins, craft from the dwarves, and war from the orcs."

[WP] The wizard is actually not immortal. Instead he steals just a minute from everyone every few thousand years or so (justifying it to himself by all the good he does for them). Though everyone loses consciousness for a moment, nobody talks about it, and it is soon forgotten.

[WP] Ever since you took over your parents little mom and pop shop time travellers have been trying to kill you. Apparently you will turn this little shop into a ruthless and exploitative megacorporation. The only problem is that you have no intentions of expanding your business.

[WP] An alien empire has just abducted the President of the United States. The problem? That President is Theodore Roosevelt - and the Bull-Moose isn’t one to be held captive. These Extraterrestrials are about to face the fury of a wronged Rough Rider.
