Writing Prompt #101 Savior Soldier

["You weren't supposed to leave us. When you disappeared, that day, things changed." "For the better?" "NO! Things got worse for us. You don't understand true pain. Everything spiraled out of control when you left us. You were the chosen one. You had to stay and bring order."]

Story Prompt 105

As the figure approached, he couldn't help but chuckle softly. "You know, it's funny how everyone expects the hero to win every time."

The heroes, caught off guard by his nonchalant demeanor, exchanged uncertain glances before one of them retorted, "Well, that's how it goes. Heroes always prevail. It's the way of the story."

He shook his head, a wry smile playing on his lips. "Seems like a narrow view of things, don't you think?"

Their confidence waning, the heroes tried to muster their courage. "You won't win this time. We'll make sure of it," they declared, their voices tinged with desperation.

With a shrug, he replied, "Guess we'll find out soon enough."

In a sudden flurry of action, he overpowered them with ease, leaving the heroes stunned and defeated. As they lay defeated at his feet, he sighed softly.

"You never stood a chance," he mused, shaking his head at their misguided certainty.

“Breaking Out”

100 word writing challenge: genre: action/adventure action: eating an egg word to include: beam

Final version, 100 words:

The whole world is tight. Confining. You shift, trying to make space where there isn't any. Then: Crack!

You finally manage to uncurl, and get attacked by a beam of light, brighter than anything. The pressure shifts and noise become clearer: crunches, slurps, and cut off wails.

Shell shards dribble from a mouth larger than your previous universe.

Your old world had been tight and muffled. The new one is bright, loud and dangerous.

You grin and bare your teeth.

You hiss at the predator bigger than the universe, and bravely run away into the unknown, no ending in sight.

Longer version, that I liked better:

Everything is tight. The whole world is confined with no room to stretch and darkness is defused light and you shift your muscles trying to make space where there isn’t any. With a full body flex, there is a Crack!

Loud and abrupt and tight against your body, the confining shell shifts. The muffled cracks and crunches that made up the background noise of the universe have context. But the slurping noises and cut off wails are still unexplained. 

You flex and shift and stretch and finally managed to uncurl, and are immediately hit in the eye by a beam of light like an attack, brighter than anything you could have imagined. There are egg shards everywhere but only some of them broken from the inside. Other shards fall from a mouth larger than the previous universe you had known, and grasping claws raise whole eggs to be crunched between sharp teeth.

You are wet and shivering and if the world you'd been in before was tight and muffled, the new one is bright and harsh and loud and dangerous.

You grin and bare your teeth.

You push your quivering legs to stand, filled your lungs for the first time, hiss at the creature bigger than the universe, and bravely run away into the unknown world, no ending in sight.

[Story 04 || Week 02]

Written: 01/12/2024

Prompt: You have the superpower of slapstick comedy

Prompt By: u/Paper_Shotgun (Reddit)

--------------------

It's a stormy evening in Pannel City. Colorful dots litter the sidewalks as people hurry home after a long day. Under the canopy of umbrellas, a hooded man weaves his way through the crowds, bumping into the occasional commuter. After bumping into an older man, the elder frantically checks his coat.

"Hey!" yells the old man. "Thief! Thief!" The thief picks up the pace but stops when he notices a cop car parking by the sidewalk. With an angry old man behind him and cops in front of him, the thief quickly dips into a narrow alley, sliding behind a dumpster. He peeks from behind it to watch the old man run past him, yelling at the top of his lungs.

With a sigh of relief and a narrow grin, the thief picks himself up, dusts himself off, and heads for the exit on the other side of the alley.

*SNAP*

The thief hears the snap as if it were inches from his ear. He jerks his head around, only to see nothing. Confused, the thief cautiously continues. Looking forward, the thief is now face-to-face with a grinning paper-pale man wearing a black domino mask. His matching ink-black hair flows down as his head hangs from his inhumanly long neck that seems to stretch over a nearby rooftop. The paper man smiles as his eyes motion toward the ground.

The thief sees a pair of black arms wrapped around his ankles like snakes around their next meal. The terrified thief looks back at the hanging head.

"Going up?" asks the paper man. The thief's screams echo into the sky alongside the paper man's head as multiple wallets drop to the ground.

----------

Officers Johnson and Huch help the old man up the steps of the police station. Inside, the old man notices the thief handcuffed to a chair just past the entrance.

"Lost a wallet?" says the desk clerk as he pulls a small basket full of wallets from under the front desk. "Just got some in fresh." The old man digs through the basket as the two officers talk to the desk clerk.

"That guy looks a lot like our pickpocket," says Huch, pointing at the thief.

"Wouldn't be surprised if he was," said the desk clerk. "Found him outside on my break with a bag of wallets tapped to his hands, and this tapped to his back." The clerk hands the two officers a note. "Tell me if it sounds familiar."

Hi! I'm Tyler Gross. I can't keep my hands to myself and need to be put in timeout.

The officers chuckle as they hand back the note.

"Well, it is a beautiful day to fill out some reports," says Huch, taking off her coat.

"Might take a while," says Johnson, "I'll brew up some coffee in the break room, grab a takeout menu while I'm at it. Got a feeling this might take up the rest of our shift."

"You two are unbelievable," says the clerk.

"Hey, you heard the chief," says Huch. "She wants the cuffs slapped on this guy ASAP. Not a second longer..."

"And not a detail missed!" Johnson continued. "We're just doing our jobs to the best of our ability."

While the officers continue to talk, the old man finds his wallet in the pile. He checks inside to make sure the contents are still there. He sighs in relief to find nothing's been taken but also finds a small note tucked in alongside his cash.

Hope you have a rock'n rainy evening! (Unless this isn't your wallet. Then please put it back.) Crime's favorite punchline -TM

Everyone knows of the great hero that had come to save their world. There are statues and art master pieces of them around the world, their story told through books and passages, even though no one knows where they came from, or where they went.

You have been told as you grew up that you look a lot like the hero, and at first you think it's the usual family gushing over the kids thing. But even as you grew up more, strangers would say the same, even without your parents there. Not to mention, you started noticing the uncanny resemblance as well, but brushed it off because it happened hundreds of years ago.

Now you, as a volunteer, are told you'll be going back in time, testing the first working time machine. When you get there, however, you realize that the setting you're in is awfully similar to what starts all of the chaos in the Hero's book.

Prompt #1,159

"Fuck me,"

"Gladly,"

[tempo-takoyaki]

From an anonymous freeform prompt for SVSSS Action, may I present to you... Delicious in the Abyss! A SVSSS x DunMeshi AU!

More info about the different characters (with some sketches) under the "read more" :

In Delicious in the Abyss, we follow various groups of adventurers as they explore the "abyss" a mysterious place filled with various fauna and monsters. No matter their race or age, most of them have the same goal: becoming the master of the abyss... However, some have a very different idea of how one should explore the abyss. Take for example a certain group led by an elf named Shen Yuan who desires one thing only... eat as many different monsters as possible!

Shen Yuan's party :

Shen Yuan: Elf, 87 y/o, Mage. His wish is to eat and study as many monsters as possible. He started exploring the abyss about twenty years ago, but had to stop abruptly after taking in Luo Binghe. On the surface, his studies seem to merely be for the sake of curiosity... But are they?

Luo Binghe: Tiefling, 63 y/o, Tank (and cook). Thrown into the abyss at the age of 38 (since tieflings are a long-lived race, it means he was about 14), he got stuck in the lowest levels for few years before Shen Yuan saved him. He regards him as his savior (and one true love) and would do anything for him... even if it means cooking the monsters (he hates it, he hates it so much).

Shang Qinghua: Gnome, 87 y/o, Healer. Shen Yuan's oldest friend and the author of many infamous books. He stopped writing them about twenty years ago though, after he started to explore the abyss with Shen Yuan. He seems to be looking for something in the abyss, or rather: someone.

Liu Qingge: Tallman, 26 y/o, Swordsman. One of Shen Yuan's friends. He used to be part of the Cang Qiong guild but left it after a disagreement with one of his colleagues. Now he works for Shen Yuan with his younger sister, Liu Mingyan. "Uh? My goal? Get stronger. Mh."

Liu Mingyan: Tallman, 24 y/o, Swordswoman. Liu Qingge's younger sister, she accompanies him on each of his missions. She got an offer to work with Cang Qion mountain once but refused it once she learned her brother had left the guild. She's quiet but efficient, however, Shang Qinghua suspects that she might stick around for other reasons...

Cang Qiong Guild:

Yue Qingyuan: Tallman, 48 y/o, Tank. The leader of Cang Qiong, he's a respected individual amongst adventurers. However, he seems leniant on the vices of his vice-leader: Shen Qingqiu.

Shen Qingqiu: Tallman, 40 y/o, Swordman. Vice-leader of Cang Qiong. He's the reason Cang Qiong is exclusively made of tallmen, as he has a strong distate for any other races, especially elves. The only exception to this rule is his adopted daughter: Ning Yingying, a dwarf. He's the one who abandoned Luo Binghe into the abyss after discovering his true nature.

Mu Qingfang: Tallman, 29 y/o, Healer. The group's medic.

Qi Qingqi: Tallman, 31 y/o, Swordswoman. She wanted to create a branch specifically for women in Cang Qiong Guild's but because of Shen Qingqiu's veto on recruiting other races she couldn't make it work.

Ming Fan: Tallman, 19 y/o, Mage. A cowardly young adventurer. He has a crush on Ning Yingying.

Ning Yingying: Dwarf, 51 y/o, Tank. Despite being older than him, she's Shen Qingqiu's adopted daughter whom he took in when she was merely 30 y/o. She likes her father a lot, however she can't forgive him for what he has done to Luo Binghe. (She'll leave Cang Qiong to join Shen Yuan's part at some point).

(Side note, Cang Qiong is still specialized in cultivation, hence why most of them look so young)

The Tieflings hideout:

Tieflings are a race that I made up for this AU specifically, inspired by D&D. They're inhabitant of the dungeon, tall and sturdy, with pointy ears akin to elves, horns of various shapes and tails. They can also use magic like elves, tallmen or gnomes, however their magic rely on its own set of rules.

Mobei-Jun: Tiefling, 92 y/o, King of the Northern tribe. Leader of one of the numerous tiefling tribes hidden in the abyss, he met Shang Qinghua twenty years ago in the abyss and has made him swear his loyalty to him since then. He has sensed change in the abyss since Luo Binghe's arrival, and decided to trust Shen Yuan's party to solve this issue... With the compensation of Shang Qinghua.

Sha Hualing: Half-ogre half-halfoot, 15 y/o, Princess of the Eastern tribe. Adopted daughter of the king of the eastern tribe, she's a bastard born from the forbidden union between an ogre and a half-foot and was abandoned into the abyss at birth. Of short stature, with a short life spawn, she makes up for it with her keen senses and her strength. She later on joins Shen Yuan's party.

The first Tieflings:

Tianlang-Jun: Tiefling, ??? y/o, Master of the Abyss. The master of the abyss, his powers are beyond anything imaginable. He claims to have eaten what has given him those powers and since then has known hunger beyond what any mortal could endure. He has once fell in love with a tallman woman by the name of Su Xiyan, but she has left the abyss years ago, and he doesn't know what her whereabouts are... The only thing he knows is that she's the only one capable of satisfying this hunger that eats him from the inside.

Zhuzhi-Lang: Beastman (snake), ??? y/o, Guardian of the abyss. Tasked by the Abyss' Master to protect its inhabitants, he'll kill anyone who gets in his ways indiscriminately at the exception of Shen Yuan, who saved him years ago when exploring the abyss for the first time. He only obeys the Abyss' Master orders, and because of that, has forced the Tieflings deeper and deeper into the abyss regardless of how they felt about it. As a chimera, he's more snake than the tiefling his soul has been mixed with.

Other groups:

Huan Hua's guild (the governor's guild): The one guild financed by the governor of the state in which the abyss is located. Its members are from various races. Despite the guild stating they're open to anyone, only those from a wealthy background can become a part of it.

Zhao Hua's guild: Specialized in magic. They have rounds to reanimate unlucky adventurers in the abyss.

Tian Yi's guild: Specialized in training new adventurers.

And that's it for now! What awaits them in the abyss? Many adventures and delicious cooking, that is, if Luo Binghe can handle it.

"Freed from the abyss at long last... Forced to cook the monsters with seasoning this time. I've been cursed there's no other way to explain it... Damn it, it's good though, I really am a great cook."

Past the horizon, across the sea, and through the forest. Should be an easy quest for you travelers.

The horizon will melt your skin into candle wax.

The sea will do whatever it can to devour you.

The forest will trap you in its maze till you fall in its vines.

Okay, maybe it's not that easy. Every traveler who I have ever told never came back. Hopefully, your time around is different.
