[WP] You've gained a enchanted magic sword that can talk to you! That'd be amazing - but this sword has no combat experience and the mentality of an edgy teenager.

[WP] You died and were sent to hell, but instead of getting escorted down to a specific level of hell, you're escorted straight to the Devil himself who looks mildly horrified while holding the file of your life in his hands.

[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!!“

[WP] You're the world's greatest exorcist and a licenced therapist. Instead of forcing the demons out of people, you talk to them about the problems they had in the demon world that drove them to escape via possession then convince them to return and deal with their issues there.

[WP] Any salt that you buy and bring into your house runs out almost instantly. Little did you know you accidentally offended an ancient deity and this was the worst punishment immaginable back in his prime and he's been, let's say, rather out of touch.

[WP] You are a worker at a fast food restaurant where your boss is a ass, enough of an ass that someone summoned a demon to kill him and anyone else in the restaurant. They didn't account for you being something far older and more dangerous who just wants to make money in peace.

[WP] You’re great at detecting illusions, even if you can’t see through them, you know they’re there. Today you met a woman who had no active spells that you could detect. But no one could look that perfect!
