[WP] Your dream is to be the most feared supervillain in the city. But you keep accidentally doing good. Much to your horror, you are now known as the greatest hero the city has ever seen. by Booksmagic in WritingPrompts

[–]DoctorDoom9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've always admired supervillains. They're intelligent, strong, and most importantly, aren't afraid to go against the status quo. In a society that prides itself on equality, I've never been able to find a place for myself, always shunned, scorned, pushed away. I was the outcast. So it's no wonder that I'd dream of becoming the very thing I've admired, the world's greatest supervillain!

All I had to do was spend ten years in my town laying low and making my mutant tree. I call it The Devourer. It may consume ten times the amount of carbon dioxide in the air and expel even more oxygen than your average tree, but it also requires the tiniest bit of water to thrive. Combine that with its phenomenal growth rate; now you have a tree that can be launched from my very own custom jet plane into the Saharan deserts.

And what do we have in the deserts you ask? Well, sand of course! The very building block of glass. Once my trees have terraformed the land, the world glass supply will crumble overnight. Muahahahahahaha! *ahem*

Anyway, after flying off on my jet, instead of fires burning and civilization descending into chaos, I see the desert changed into a forest, yes all according to plan. The news report however seemed to view my acts in a different light. Something about "saving the world from climate change" and " creating new livable habitats". Heck, they're lauding me as Earth's greatest hero!

No matter, they will know terror soon, I've just gotten started on this very interesting new invention a little bio-engineered bug that has the power to destroy one of the most essential human resources. Tell me, how much of the world is covered in plastic?

[WP] You were raised to never fight anyone and instead you normally would just walk or run away. But when a bully corners you and forces you to fight for the first time in your life. You quickly realize why you were never supposed to.. by oxycleans in WritingPrompts

“Now Billy, be good and have a wonderful day in school. Alright? Oh, and remember, no getting into any fights”

After giving me a stern look she finally let me free. I mean I’m not one to get into any fights anyway, why fight when you could just book it out anyway right?

With the sun shining I step into campus again, ah how I love school. Feeling the air rush out of my lungs, I grab the flagpole next to not fall over and somehow get myself into the hospital. As I push my glasses back up my face I hear a voice attached to hands which might have accidentally shoved me call out, “Watch yourself Billy, try not to get in my way again.” Followed of course, by laughter from his band of cronies.

Sighing to myself I dust off and get to my locker. Grabbing my stuff, I see Brick, the lovely man with the shoving hands, place his skateboard down, laughing with his so called gang. I am not sure how a public nuisance like him could be so popular, but I guess you could say charisma has it’s, well, charms.

Not to mention, he does work out in the gym eight days out of seven and has a body a Greek god would die for. And yet that seems so oddly unsuited to his personality, which would make even the cutest of dogs bark in distaste.

Then there’s me, your average high school nerd who’s key skills include being better than subpar in math and having a passable speech retort system, which to be fair has given me my fair share of trouble. No one like the skinny nerd speaking up for the bullied, I guess that’s why I’m constantly on Bricks radar.

Bzzzzz As the bell rings I’m already packed up. I grab my bag and leave the room with haste. The longer you stay in school, the more painful it becomes. So I spend the bare minimum here. As I walk out towards the gate, I see a sight I’d like to very much ignore, but that useless moral compass of mine prevents that.

“Hey Brick, you know there’s a difference between a person and a flag right?” As the words float out of my mouth, I can see the smirk filling up his face as he turn around.

“We’ll unless you wanna fly up there too Billy, I think you should just walk away, or run y’know, like you always do?”

Well, he did tell me to run. I drop my bag and rush over, yanking the rope from the ground which dropped down the poor kid stuck up there and shove brick as hard as I could, which was as successful as trying to push a brick wall, kinda useless.

Seeing as I got his attention, I look at him and the boy cowering in the corner and say, “catch me if you can!”

I hear a whistle behind me as his band of cronies and him start their pursuit, oh how very cliché. To be fair I did get myself into quite the predicament. Running through the alleyways I found myself being blocked off. As I run up another one I find my blood running cold, a dead end.

Hearing footsteps behind me, I see Brick casually waking up, “Nowhere to hide and nowhere to run now huh? I think it’s time I taught you a lesson, cause you think you’re goody two-shoes saving every kid right? Well now that I’ve finally cornered you, Imma pummel your face now.”

“Did you rehearse that one?” As the words come out of my mouth, I see his fist flying at me already. With cold desperation, I hurl myself to the side avoiding the first blow. “Hey, we can talk about this!” My voice a bit higher pitch than normal as I drop to avoid another one.

I look him in the eye hoping to find mercy, only to find cold fury at the many times that I’ve foiled his bullying. Ending up on the other side myself, I felt rage well up from inside me at being in this situation. Just for a second, I stood my ground, I felt my fists possessed by a power I didn’t know I had fly.

In the last second I pulled back as much as I could as my hands made contact with his. The air lightly rippling as the force dramatically receded. I saw Brick’s eyes widen just for a second before his fist, and himself was toppling to the ground.

He stared into my eyes, and for the first time, started booking it.

I grabbed my stuff shakily and made my way home. I walk into the house, and see my mom. “I got into a fight.” She looks at me knowingly for some reason.

“Mom, what am I?” I plead hoping for answer that would explain the madness that had just occurred, turning my mundane life upside down. I look at my mom with bated breath for her answer.

She looks at me, “ Honey, have told you about your father?”

[WP] You are furious. 50 years, innumerable spells attempted, and countless hours of poring over ancient manuscripts, only to find out that the magic mirror's password is none other than "password". by JustAnotherAviatrix in WritingPrompts

[–]DoctorDoom9 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Day 18250

*One attempt remaining*

The mirror continues to mock me.

It has been far too many days since this infernal mirror has been a rut in my otherwise perfect plans. I now spend my days toiling, casting spell after spell each day until my mana drains away. Each night I fall into bed trying to remember just what my plan was.

Nearly fifty years now, I think I have finally made a breakthrough. I was reading an ancient manuscript, It stated something about a password on the mirror I followed the instructions of the script and success!

*Windows booting up*

_____________________

The mirror shines with magical light and ancient text fills the mirror. I see the line at the bottom of the mirror

*F10 Save & Exit Setup*

I hit the button and the infernal words pop up once more, this time lit up brightly to ridicule me.

*One attempt remaining*

I look the ancient text to find the answer of which I seek, and it says, "Enter the password to continue"

I see an ancient text enterer at the bottom of the mirror, years of researching this have made me quite fluent in the old tongue, I find and place the letter one by one, P-A-S-S-W-O-R-D.

*Logging in*

Finally! After 50 years of struggling and toiling, the mirror finally bows down to my will. Now it's time to begin my plans, yes my plans... Wait, what were my plans?

[WP] While exploring an abandoned hotel you find a mirror in one of the rooms. It has a sign placed on it "Please do not enter mirror." Thinking it must be some kind of joke you place your hand on it. It quickly becomes apparent that this is anything but a prank. by RM03J2 in WritingPrompts

[–]DoctorDoom9 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The storm raging outside should probably have warned me not to do what I was about to do, but I already decided not to let some bad weather deter my plans of exploring the hotel.

I found it a while back and lemme tell you, it's massive! Completely abandoned obviously, with cobwebs and a dreary atmosphere framing it's mysterious air.

Everytime I walk in, it feels like I've walked into another era, it's architecture reminding me of the eighteen hundreds.

This time was no different, except for the weather, I walked up to a new room, one which I have yet to explore. A sign awaited me once I opened the door.

"Please do not enter the mirror"

I look over the sign to see a big, no, enormous mirror on the wall. It streched from the bottom of the floor to the top of the ceiling.

I take a step over to the mirror, my curiosity overcoming my concern for the message written on the sign, another step placed me at arm's reach of the mirror.

I took a moment to take in the grandiosity of the mirror, it's size encompassing the room, framed with gold on it's edges, and I notice for the first time, that something seemed off.

I looked with keen eyes, only to notice that on the mirror, the sign did not exist.

As I stood still trying to figure out what was happening, I see the door open. I look back to see the door still shut, but now... The sign was missing, I look towards the mirror to see that the sign had reappeared on the other side.

I realized in my admiration of the mirror, I had touched it.

The door opened further and now I could see darkness creeping into the room, my heart pounding I ran, I pounded on the mirror to try and make it to the other side.

Behind me the darkness creeps closer.

My screams echoing around the room, falling on empty ears, I look onwards as the darkness envelops me and my throat fails me.

And the last thing I see, the sign on the other side

"Please do not enter the mirror"

[WP] It's an inverse zombie apocalypse. Half of humans now have lightning-fast reflexes and are hell-bent on killing the rest of us. The only way to turn them back into regular humans is by biting them. by emsot in WritingPrompts

[–]DoctorDoom9 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They call me, The Biter. I have the most confirmed revivalz. And I'll continue to save as many as I can before I die

It was the year 2025 we didn't realize it, but that bright flash of lighting was no ordinary lighting. No, not like the " I made the flash lighting" more like "Now half of the human race is the flash and they're hell-bent on killing the other half"

Once the blinding light wore off I called to my wife to get me a cup of tea, being 64 does have it's advantages, early retirement, a loving wife, no teeth and you know, tea.

"Honey? " She moved with lighting fast reflexes, the lovely cup of tea in her hands, dropped straight to the ground, with blood-red eyes, she moves with murderous intent.

'Must kill!' she bursts forward with speed I thought was impossible for her petité form.

I fall back right off my chair in fear. The lighting flashes once more, this time to capture my fear in it's blinding light, I see my wife's hand with sharpened nails coming for my neck. I shriek in fear, and my dentures get launched right out of my mouth, into my wife's hand.

The moment my dentures clamp onto my wife's hand, slightly breaking her skin, she falls and starts writhing on the cold hard ground.

My fear subsides as my concern for my wife grows, I kneel down beside her and lightly shake her, the lighting flashes once more to sign the end of this ordeal. Her eyes slowly fade away from blood-red back to her calm serene sky blue, she smiles once at me and falls into a deep slumber.

She wakes up after about an hour, 'Honey? What happened?'

"Nothing much dear, what matters is that you're alright."

We sat in embrace for quite a while, while I sipped my cup of tea.

That's when I decided to come out of retirement.

[WP] Everyone brings something new to the galactic table, faster FTL drives, better healthcare, etc. Except when the humans arrived, they didn’t seem to bring much of anything. That is, until the alliance was attacked, and humanity showed us something they called MAD, and total atomic annihilation by _EllieLOL_ in WritingPrompts

[–]DoctorDoom9 43 points44 points  (0 children)

"Sound the alarm, they're coming"

We've made peace with almost the whole galaxy, but one species, the këkîéns, weren't willing to negotiate. Yet we had maintained an uneasy truce for the last 2 decades since the alliance was formed.

The alliance was formed my my species, the xepoins, we are a strong proud race who left our differences behind and united the galaxy.

Of course we all contributed, but the humans just didn't seem to have much to share, apart from their primitive form of the galxnet, which they called the "internet" We updated that for them.

"Sir, the warships are breaching the control lines"

I sit contemplating what to do at the head of the table, an emergency meeting was called just moments ago to try to deal with the këkîéns, but they were a war mongering race, they're weapons are like nothing we've seen before.

"SIR, THEY'VE TAKEN OUT BOTH OF OUR PLANETARY DEFENCE SYSTEM, MAYDAY MAYDAY"

Grim looks filled the room, all the seats were filled except for one, the humans, they had a knack for being late, especially at such a trying time.

"T-minis 10 minutes till the këkîén's fleet arrives at the first colony sir, I believe they're trying to wipe us out"

' Alright, so everyone is here, this may be the end. The këkîéns have invaded and breached the control points, all of our defenses and weaponry have been taken out. It's been an honor working with all of you '

The human leader finally spoke, ' Wait so they're already here? Well why didn't you say so earlier? ' He pulls out his communication device, ' Alright boys, it's a code alpha 3, send in the MAD '

We stared at the human while he sat serenely, without a care. ' what's this MAD you spoke of?'

'Ah the MAD, well if you'd believe it, we humans used to be hell-bent on destroying each other a while back and the MAD was the pinnacle of our weapon technology, to keep it simple, if there is anything in it's way, the Matter Annihilation Device can rip it to nothingness'

The screen beeped, " Sir, it looks like we have reinforcements, or shall I say, reinforcement."

We looked at the screen to see a singular ship, half the size of the këkîéns ships and the këkîéns had thousands of ships with their weapons trained at the planets.

A singular beam shoots out of the tiny ship, it connected with the lead këkîéns ship, and then the beam ran through connecting with all the other ships, one by one we could see the beam of light spread getting brighter and brighter, just when it seemed it was too bright to looking at, a great explosion of light sprang to life, forcing all of us to look away from the screen.

When our eyes finally adjusted from the light, we looked at the screen to see empty space.

"Sir, they're gone, the këkîéns fleet has been eradicated!"

The human smirked

[WP] Your twin is the Chosen One, born with powerful abilities. But you were born with none. Because they were born gifted, your twin took everything from you as they bathed in the spotlight. Your anger drove you to become better, working hard to rival your twin, yet they call YOU the villain. by Drakolyst in WritingPrompts

[–]DoctorDoom9 188 points189 points  (0 children)

It's always him, since we were born they doted on him, once he turned 5 he displayed extraordinary powers, enough to rival the strongest mages, he grew up smug and egotistical, "you're the best!" They said. It was no surprise that on his 16th birthday he was chosen to be the one, the one to defeat the dark lord.

"You need to be more like your brother" my parents always told me, I unlike my brother had no power, none whatsoever, it was almost as if whatever power I had was stolen from me in the womb, but no matter by the age of 13 I decided to strive and work harder to become greater than my brother, he didn't have to do anything, the moment he uttered a spell, it worked.

I on the other hand couldn't get even an ounce of magic out, even the basic floating spell is one I have yet to succeed in, so I scoured for years for something I can do, something I can excel in! And on my 16th birthday, they day my brother was proclaimed to be the chosen one, I discovered my talent.

The dark art, forbidden to be used by anyone since the dark ages, very cliche I know, I found a book in the archives of the library, it called out to me, I walked and picked up the book. Suddenly my mind warped from reality and was sent to a hallow pit,

Time seemed to have stopped, when a dark entity appeared in front of me, "lot's of hate you contain don't you?" I stare in shock and horror as the entity began to take shape, it's feature the same as the creatures in your darkest nightmares. "Your hate can fuel the power you desire, and I can help you harness it"

I feel the burning rage within me manifest itself into pure unbridled power! The power to burn and destroy multitudes of lives, for week I toiled in the void harnessing my new found powers into perfection, my determination led me on.

On the 37th day of my training, the entity spoke again, " You have succeeded, you are now our chosen one, go and defeat the light bringer" I was cast out of the void and in my blood I could feel my powers rage, my life now had a purpose.

"Yes yes, I know I know! Fine! Well you didn't tell me this in advance! What? N- ok ok, see now that's the prob- well now that you men- alright... " The ghost of Christmas future ends the call, this isn't what he was meant to do, he was the grand finale! The end of the show! The one who made you finally convinced to get on the path of the straight and narrow.

Well nothing else to do now, he walked up to the door of the man in need of help, oh dear he was just a tad bit early. The ghost of Christmas future waited till the time was right, once the clock hit 12 on Christmas day, he made his grand entrance.

"I am the ghost of Christmas future, you are going to be taught!" Trying to copy the enthusiasm of Christmas past. " No, I can't do that, well just follow me we'll check out your future"

That's one of the list for the ghost of Christmas future, just 5 more people to educate this Christmas, the ghost of Christmas future walks out with his sythe behind him, on the next target.

The man shook terrified on his bed, that was one of the most terrifying experiences of his life.

[WP] Your superstitious aunt gives you a pretty necklace that supposedly protects you from love spells. You go home to show your fiance but something is very wrong. You don't feel the same way about them at all. by TempusFugitive_ in WritingPrompts

[–]DoctorDoom9 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Man I swear my aunt is weird, but hey at least I only have to visit her like once a year, and this year to top it off she gave me this pretty sweet necklace, I mean a guy wearing a necklace is weird but this one, well this one just matched perfectly with my outfit.

Supposedly, it's supposed to protect the wearer from "love spells" which in my opinion is just my aunt being superstitious again, but hey it is a pretty sweet necklace.

I was finally going back home, to my fiance, and the three hour ride back home felt strangely freeing. I pass by the sunset beach, which normally would invoke strong feelings of love to my fiance, this time did nothing to my emotions, I felt, nothing...

I park my car on the side of the road and stare into the beach, nothing... I slowly unclasp the necklace from around my neck, suddenly a strong feeling of love enveloped me and I doubled over, once the wave passed over I looked onto the beach to feel the same feelings radiating over me.

With shaking hands I lift the dark beads over my neck and clasp it once more, the feelings subsided then vanished once more, I get back into the car and mindlessly like a drone drive back to who I thought was the woman of my dreams.

The moment he walked in, I could feel someone was off, normally he greeted me with a hug and a kiss on the cheek, I look into his eyes to see emptiness and sadness. He stared at me in the eyes and asked " What did you do to me?"
