[WP] An angry magician cursed a city, turning all the residents into the first animal they thought of. Not powerful enough, it only lasted for a day, and the people surprisingly had fun. A year later they offered to pay the magician to do it again and to make him the leader of the celebration.

[WP] As the god of reincarnations, when neither Hell nor Heaven want a soul, it is your job to reincarnate it appropriately. One specific soul keeps coming back to you not so long after each reincarnation. After a while, you decide to investigate why the soul keeps coming back to you.

[WP] As a necromancer, you are in the business of reanimating the dead for a few days at a time. Families say goodbye, businesses get cooperate secrets, scientists test their drugs, etc. The more they pay, the better they are restored and the longer they stay, as it does take a lot out of you.

[WP] People now gain immortality by transferring their consciousness to robots, by purchase or lease. The poor rent; the poorest live from paycheck to paycheck. You work for a conglomerate as a repossessor. To not feel like a murderer, you started storing people's consciousness on your old computer.

[WP] Evil was so rampant even the gods left. But a hero trained in secret. With sheer strength and determination, he single-handedly rid the world of all evil and was crowned the new leader. Now flourishing, the gods have come back with demands of service and prayer. That was a big mistake.

[WP] One of your parents was human, the other was a genie. As a half genie, you can grant people's wishes half way. This leads people to wish for twice what they actually want, but that never ends up well.

[WP] Mr. Unbelievable can do anything as long as people don't believe he can. As his fame grew, so did the realization that he really he was capable of anything. And just like that, poof, he lost it all. Now long forgotten, he can do it all again. At least as long as he somehow keeps it a secret.

[WP] A parasitic species that completely takes over their host to survive advertises that in exchange for your body, you can sleep for two years while they live your life. Many drunkards and other ne'er-do-wells agreed, and two years later, they found themselves quite successful when they woke up.
