I wrote this story roughly a year ago in response to this writing prompt: You've slain the beast, but instead of payment the villagers kicked you out enraged. You do what no mage has ever done: Resurrect a dragon.

Based on the following prompt

I looked dumbfounded at my blade. I could hear what the wizard was saying but the words didn’t quite make sense to me.

“But I was told it was magic.”

“And who told you that, child?”

“… the guy selling it.”

“And how much did you buy it for?”

Fifty silver pieces.

“Twenty silver pieces.”

The look the wizard gave me said that he didn’t believe me.

“Look, I was told it was a sword forged in flames!”

“As opposed to what, one forged in water? That’s not magic. That’s just metallurgy.”

“But I killed the Rogue Noble with it.”

“By slashing his head off,” Eric said. Not very helpful. “You could do that w

We came across the planet of Earth by accident. Despite achieving miracles in technology and science, neither our machines nor our minds were beyond simple mistakes.

While we recalculated our path back home, we sent out the scoutrones to gather data on the world. In less than an hour, we had our reason to stay.

And then we announced ourselves to the world.

Throughout centuries of travels, my people have learned one universal truth: Peace is terrifying as the first message.

Every planet we have come across so far has always met us with resistance and suspicion when we mentioned the word “peace”. No matter what we offered, the other worlds would always refuse our hand. And sooner or later, that dis

Around sixty percent of the population have a superpower. However, around thirty percent of those people never discover their powers because of how complicated or conditional they are.

I used to think that I was one of the normal people. I didn’t shoot fire out of my hands. I didn’t read minds or see future.

Having recently graduated, I had concerns other than wondering if I had some secret superpower. Things like my crappy apartment and roaches that landlord didn’t care to mention.

Without any money to move or hire exterminators, I had only myself to rely on. And if you ever had roaches, you know how damn fast these things breed.

I smacked one of them down and then

Jerome Brighton was the man born into significant wealth and power. He would grow to use those to amass even more capital through his connections, ruthless and downright predatory business practices.

At the stroke of midnight, he celebrated his net worth hitting that sweet 600 billion mark. Come the next morning, the news announced his death.

It was sudden but not entirely unexpected. Despite the expensive treatments and the lifestyle his wealth could afford, he was still a man in his late eighties who regularly indulged in alcohol and drugs. So his death was easy to dismiss as a heart attack or something similar.

The same couldn’t be said for Mark Trask, the second

Original Title: [PI] As King, thousands have tried to take your life, but you remain undefeated. One day, a nameless challenger dressed in mismatched armor steps into your throne room. He dies in three swings of your sword. An identical man walks in moments later, so you kill him too. Then he walks in again.

My father’s unexpected illness left me to inherit the throne at the young age of sixteen. And for the past four years, I have to prove time and again that I was not a weak and defenseless child.

Naturally, it involved many men and their champions challenging me for the throne. I had the best teachers and weapons. But it was the drive to prove my enemies and det

After a third night of Odin's absence, I turned my mind to getting out of here. I wasn't sure what Odin's endgame was, but if they wanted me stuck in the plane of insecurity, by default I wanted to get as far away from here as possible.

That wasn't just because of Odin, of course. The mimics were utterly terrifying, too, and although Meloai and Tanryn kept the large

The galaxy was a tangled web of disparate civilizations, each governed by its own peculiar set of values, instincts, and societal structures. The complexities of interstellar politics were often rooted in biological predispositions, ranging from pack-oriented behavior to population control mechanisms such as cannibalism. Navigating the intricacies of diplomatic negotiations between such diverse empires was akin to threading a needle through a cosmic haystack.

At the heart of these negotiations, however, lurked a constant and sinister companion—

Original Title: [PI] Humanity achieved a breakthrough in interstellar travel long before ever forming a single planetary government. As a result we explore the stars not in a united effort, but rather as many small independent states.

"It's my pleasure to report the discovery of a new sentient species, the first one in almost two millionths of a galactic cycle" declared Du'erst, the Galactic Exploration Institute's representative to the Galactic Council. "As far as our observations can tell it's relatively new to space travel and planetary colonization. It seems to number between five and seven trillion individuals, and has colonized fifteen solar systems". Du'erst looke

As the battle between Rixxen's group and the monsters raged on, Xyra cowered behind one of the metal columns, her reptilian eyes wide with fear.

She knew Rixxen as one of the oppressors who had tormented her during her time as a slave and even after she was freed by Vexx.

The sight of him leading his warriors into battle and the knowledge of what would come onto her when she would be captured sent shivers down her spine.

Xyra's hearts pounded in her chest as she observed the conflict unfold from her hiding place. 

She knew those were once dead bodies,  somehow resurrected in a mysterious fashion; she saw the bodies herself after all.

Now the same bodies went to
