[WP] God, demigod, guardian--Every time mankind finds you, during a different age, they give you a title representative of your otherworldly power. You aren't getting weaker, yet your title gets diluted each time until finally, a group of humans think you're just a homeless person who needs help.

[WP] The store's sign said "Open 7 Days!" That was all. In eight years since appearing, it's been open three random days. A crowd is gathering, because it's rumored to open again soon, and it contains fabulous and exotic curiosities.

[WP] God has revealed themselves to the world. God is not a man. God is not a woman. God is a giant cat! And right now, there's a giant paw coming down from the sky, batting at anything that captures their interest.

[WP] Gregnok is both your worst assassin, and the best. They have never managed to sneak into any location, but at the same time, they've never actually failed at killing the target, so you can't actually fire them. But they're also awful for your guild's reputation.

[WP] You just invented a machine that transports books from alternate dimensions. You take a look at what came out of it when you activated it. It seemed like an ordinary Harry Potter book. Then you saw the author. Sir Terry Pratchett. You can’t wait to read it.

[WP]After zombie apocalypse wiped the most of humans, governments struggle to keep everything under control. That is until a new military unit emerges and finally seems able to make a difference. You are assigned to it and realize it consists mainly of monsters that need humans as their food source.

[WP] You are a blacksmith in a fantasy world. Usually, you'd be pretty mundane, making forks and pans (still needs to get done after all) But today you accidentally made a sentient steak knife.

[WP] After the Christian Rapture happened to everyone's considerable shock, those left behind (and those born to them after) all had a strange, unremovable marking appear on their foreheads. It took decades to translate, but the result was horrifying; "Do not harvest, not fit for consumption."
