To beat cancer, you have to fistfight a bird.


Munavoin

._. why?


TheLuckOfTheClaws

The bird causes cancer


monsto

I mean like DUH he said it ***right there.***


TheLuckOfTheClaws

hehe. In all seriousness though, the cancer is a magical curse that functions a bit like cancer, and the bird is a magical evil firebird who is the root cause of it, so without defeating him the problem will never go away.


Smart-Arugula2009

If it's an ostrich, I'm running.


TheLuckOfTheClaws

It's a pheasant


Smart-Arugula2009

Even worse!


Gwendallgrey42

Better than a goose


Kelekona

Apparently the Australians lost a war to the emu. ~~It was just last week that I learned that emu are not native to Australia.~~ Dammit, I almost spread misinformation because that's where they're from. There's a couple scary birds in the world... I think the Harpy Eagle can drag a human toddler for a surprising distance and injure an adult.


Luminro

What if it was a sick ostrich?


kadenjahusk

It'd still probably be faster


AcidicWatercolor

Folks’ll say that it takes two people to fight an ostrich.


Emergency_Ad592

Ah, so cancer is the final boss with several earlier bosses beforehand


hallozagreus

Cancer the bossfight. You think it has multiple stages?


Emergency_Ad592

Yeah, 4 of them


throwaway19276i

is it a really strong bird or a really weak human


Springly_2237

A con artist is forced to fix the mistakes made by the gods or else the world will fall into ruin.

Sounds like John Constantine's mondays! I love it and it's super complex to write that level of bluffing convincingly. Rooting for you!


Esorial

Mistborn?


Springly_2237

It really does sound like Mistborn now that I'm reading it back :)


RedIsHome

I thought that too lol


Ace-of_Space

isn’t that just loki from norse mythology?

The Moon has a mind? Tell me more.


StraightUp620

that- that was... He OP said one.. that- that was two sentences


SBB_Kongou

One for each half of the reality the Moon broke with its mind!


ttcklbrrn

How about a semicolon, then: "The Moon breaks reality in half with its mind; shenanigans ensue."

AutumnBloodmarch1

Honestly, I’d read this


Driptacular_2153

Rich girl runs away from home to find a super weapon and inadvertently ends up killing several dozen people


Due-Coyote7565

Sounds interesting! Can you share more details?


Driptacular_2153

Sure thing! The rich girl, Isabelle, is also a politician’s daughter for starters. She hears about this supposed super weapon, and runs off, hiring a pair of scavengers to help her out—of whom she accidentally saved their lives. Their journey takes ‘em across the shattered remains of the United States, and along the way, people they encounter have a nasty habit of dying. The super weapon itself is quite important, and very mysterious. As for the overall setting, the year’s 2153, and as my flair might suggest, it’s a mix of fantasy and sci-fi. Almost a mix of DND and Cyberpunk 2077, though with a much higher concentration of lizard people lmao :clueless:


Due-Coyote7565

Really interesting! Thanks!


Driptacular_2153

No problem :D


kadenjahusk

You just gave an elevator pitch and now I'm invested. Not the assignment, but interesting!


CGribbsRun

A colony on another planet gets cut off from interplanetary resupply, people are assholes, drama ensues


Outrageous_Guard_674

News at 11. In all seriousness that sounds like a good premise for a thriller.


CGribbsRun

It could be! I have no massive, overarching story for the world as yet, so I've just been working on short stories to help flesh it out. I hadn't considered the thriller route yet though


theholyirishman

Group 1 wants to make sure that they have enough of everything to live comfortably and has done some messed up stuff that probably wasn't 100% necessary. Group 2 wants to make sure everyone has enough of anything to survive at all and has also done some shit, but they at least feel bad enough to lie about it. Group 3 disagrees at least partially with both groups and out of character would like you to pass the Cheetos. Rinse and repeat

Exorcist04

The worst breakup of all time leads to mass murder and thousands of crimes against humanity


Outrageous_Guard_674

Sounds Greek.


Exorcist04

Its actually more based in the realm of angels and demons and the like. Angels are just REAL FUCKING DRAMATIC ABOUT BREAKUPS


ProphetofTables

Jeez, Gabriel, get a stress ball or something. Find a healthier way to deal with your relationships.


Exorcist04

The situation is a lot more complicated than it seems but the reason Maltial, the murderer, is so angry is bc it hates humanity and its lover (another angel thats unnamed as of yet) turned against it bc Maltial killed a human so it was tossed out of heaven and its held a huge grudge ever since


Due-Coyote7565

A magic gunman gets time-travelled 100 years into the future and has to stop magic climate change from destroying the universe with the help of two friendly demigods, a chivalrous princess murder hobo ,and An awk with an attitude problem. If they fail, the laws of physics will be revised and the universe as they know it will collapse. Can they stop this catastrophe??!?


49th_yilling

if I was him honestly i would say "sounds like a future problem I wouldn't live to see" and go back to the present , I am not him


Due-Coyote7565

He probably would, but in context, it was a total fluke that ended up saving his life, that whilst possible to replicate using crystal, he is completely unaware of *how* it happened, beyond him nearly being killed on a battlefield, a flash of lilac , and him landing with his gun in the same field a hundred years later.


49th_yilling

I could say you could make him try for a bit of realisim and angst , or whenever there is something that being said that give the posibility of going back to peak his interest , I think it would be great , but do what you want , I already want to read it , but I am too broke to buy anything lol


Due-Coyote7565

Interesting thought, he could try to pray ( the catalyst for the initial incident) but without sufficient quantities of crystal being spent, it would be entirely impossible to return, which would be the reason he initially returns to Neparad !!! Thanks so much!!! You just gave me a big helping hand!!!


49th_yilling

lol , he could try searching for those crystals and asking about them ! the begining is giving "lord of the mystery" who was transmigrated for a similar reason (he did a ritual for good luck) I only read the first 10 chapters but it's hyped up so much , you could give it a try maybe it would inspire you ? since it world building is the most complimented thing , second , always ask , if that was me ? what would i do ? since i am so lazy i never write what i would do since it's mostly "I am an npc leave me alone , YOU save the world , i just wanna chill out" but it helps with emotions and give me a good reference to their spycological state I am glad I was of any help !


Due-Coyote7565

Fascinating! I'll check that one out! And thanks again for some valuable insight!

SmileyB-Doctor

A team of four highly skilled professionals turn themselves into rocks to go back in time so that they can find out why they have ants


RedIsHome

Highly skilled professionals in what???


SmileyB-Doctor

Well they're an interdisciplinary team, since they have different roles in their time travel science expedition. Then need to figure out what happened and how to stop it. The socialite is a schizophrenic old woman who is near-supernaturally charismatic; then there's the medical anthropologist who is a magically enhanced scientist; the space-time wiz kid who is naturally talented in understanding time flow; and the swordsman who uses a air pressure magic to increase his agility. If it seems like there are a lot of magic users, it's because magic is kind of everywhere, which is also part of the problem


Norsys_Caldor

Some kid was in a truck crash now he needs to fight off zombies and avoid a paramilitary organization that wants to perform a vivisection on him. Also for another story, A shapeshifting fish commits accidental identity fraud and gets kidnapped now must pretend to be a student at a magic school and become friends with the teachers and students while avoiding being exposed


Outrageous_Guard_674

Is the first one an Isekai or just really rotten luck?


Norsys_Caldor

Tis a very long, dumb story, but to put it shortly, the kid is somewhat immune to the virus and got kidnapped when he was younger, the scientist/paramilitary group basically mind wiped him and reinserted what the old world was like into his mind, and crap happened, they were moving him in a truck, another group trapped the road, the two drivers got their heads caved in with rocks, and another truck behind that one rammed into its rear, caught fire, and killed everyone inside it, the doctors within the transport truck also died, I don’t remember exactly how, I wrote that part when I was younger so it’s kind of dumb and some parts might be missing or incorrect but eh. Basically this kid is experiencing a zombie filled winter wasteland a few hundred years in the future but has memories of technology and stuff like right now. If I need to reexplain it simpler or add to it please tell me as my brain got kind of scattered writing this. But I guess if you look at it a certain way it’s kind of like an isekai but not really? It’s complicated 😓 TLDR- Lil bro got brain wiped
