[WP] As an immortal, indestructible being with no sense of pain I thought throwing myself into a volcano would be sufficient to get people to leave me alone. The fact that they are currently digging me out of my entombment proves otherwise. So much for that nap.	145
[WP] You've accidentally killed the Hero of Legend, and now the prophecy compels you to fulfill his destiny. Unfortunately, you don't know what his destiny actually was because you're just a tavern cook and he died of an allergic reaction to his meal.	139
[WP] You are known to authorities as the worlds most prolific serial killer despite having no predictable pattern. What they don't know is that you are a time traveler and have saved billions of lives with your strategic "terminations". But today, you've finally been captured.	121
[WP] It didn't make sense. The Lich's phylactery and body had been destroyed so his magic should have died with him. Except it didn't. The undead legions still roamed the land, still coordinated as if nothing had happened. But far far worse, magical auguries now said the Lich was 'everywhere'.	113
[WP] I was buried alive not as a punishment, but as a reward because I am tired of the greed of men. Entombment allows me to sleep indefinitely and that is all I want now. For though I cannot feel pain or die, my curse compels me to assist any who asks. But now I feel myself stirring to wakefulness.	87
[WP] The god of magic is dying. To prevent the magical world from falling into ruin a new god must be elevated to take their place. Thousands of heroes are summoned from across the multiverse to petition to be the heir to magic. You were summoned but you don't know why, you're nobody.	78
[WP] All species in the galaxy achieve FTL capability either by purchasing the know-how from a benefactor or reverse-engineering it from a "benefactor". That is, until the humans showed up with their should-have-been-impossible FTL drives unlike any other.	73
[WP] Humans couldn't use magic so we developed science instead. After scientifically quantifying magic we finally learned to make machines that could use magic on our behalf. The non-human people who could use magic naturally were not happy with this development.	70
[WP] When the Dark Lord blinded you he imagined you defeated. He didn't understand why you started laughing. What he didn't know was that you were blind before you came to this world, and the magic infusing you ensured you wouldn't need eyes with which to see.	68
[WP] When it was finally proven mathematically, and soon thereafter experimentally, that the universe was a computer simulation, the world didn't panic. Instead, we tried to find ways to manipulate the RNG to make the world a better place. These attempts were noticed.	66
