Deciding the Short Story Prompt for September 2024
- Scared System 8
- Arcane Police 5
- DUI 14
NOTE: This month I will be taking whatever Prompt gets chosen and doing another story in HappyAfter VR setting. For those who don't remember, it is a high tech & fantasy setting where when you are going to die, you can go post biological instead and join any number of servers in a digital after life.
Below are the full prompts as the poll doesn't allow the full text. In the case of ties the first option that got there wins. The short story will be finished by the end of the month.
The System got scared. Start with the earth AT science-fiction level of tech (pre-ftl) When the system arrives and begins initiation and scans the earth's history to set the level integration and danger level, the system gets scared and runs away. Now humans have unlocked ftl and dominate the universe.
Arcane Police respond to a bank robbery, in a urban fantasy setting with DnD-like magic system for both sides. So Divination, Wards, Illusions etc
DUI (Dungeonning Under the Influence) "'-Divine Dungeon of the End-' has been full cleared for the first time." As this notification is spread across the world, emperors, archmages, even a few dragons gather in front of the no longer undefeated dungeon of legend, only to see a drunken man in dirty peasent clothes stumble out of it. "HA! Told ya I could do it! Ya owe me 20 silvers, Darian ya basterd! An' ya betta not av' chugged any o' my beer!!!"
