[WP] First contact lasted 10 minutes. The aliens sent an enormous data file containing their entire species’ scientific knowledge, including schematics for their FTL drive. It ended with the words: “We are sorry we have led them to you. Leave at once.” They warped away the next day.	41
[WP] “If you’re the Overlord of Doom, at least do it competently.” The prophesized Hero of Legend throws a sheaf of papers at the bewildered figure sitting on the Throne of Darkness. “I’m coming back in a year. I hope you have something better than an untrained, starving, slave army to stop me.”	24
[WP] You don't have anything against those servants of the light and their chivalrous creed. Nevertheless, you wield the shadow against them because you are terrified of what happens if they manage to summon their god to Earth.	16
[WP] “Wait!” The stranger calls out to you, hurriedly running up. “Don’t go!” You reluctantly turn around. The winded stranger manages to exclaim between breaths, “I can feel your pain. Please, let me help you. I cannot live with it.”	14
[WP] No one in the superhero community knows about you, despite the immense power you hold. That is because you have the most boring ability ever: the power to cut through red tape. And the villains will soon learn to fear you.	14
[WP] You raise a quizzical eyebrow at the young, clearly out of her depth, mage. “Listen, if I really was worried about the whole ‘You shall die at the daughter of the twice betrayed’ prophecy, you’d think I would have dropped a black hole on your house sometime in the last decade or so.”	12
[WP] The star fleets clashed in the void of the CX134 star system, spewing death on an incomprehensible level. A primitive civilisation watches in terror from their world, a world called Earth.	11
[WP] An alien probe lands on Earth, initiating First Contact with humanity and transmitting a signal into space. A few months later, its creators arrive. The probe shoots down their starship.	10
[WP] “Open to start main quest”. The weird prompt floated above your head as you stood in front of the door. Thinking better, teenage you decided to move on. Now, 20 years later, a wealthy, successful, and pretty satisfied you are back at the same spot. Your hand rests on the door handle.	9
[WP] It’s not easy, superhero therapy. Especially when most your patients can kill you as an afterthought. Still, you won’t let anyone sully your perfect track record.	9
