unreliable narrator

Dragon Ball: Legends Untold We all know of the stories of the legendary Son Goku, Prince Vegeta, Piccolo, Son Gohan, Krillin, and the rest of the Z Warriors. This, is not their story. As a matter of fact, this isn’t even the same Universe that they hail from. Nor is this one of the Universes...

Two impossibly large beings spiral through the void between worlds. They travel at speeds which should be impossible, ignoring such paltry obstacles as the speed of light, excessive energy costs, and small celestial bodies. Their progress is difficult for you to track, but they do eventually...

Μῆνιν ἄειδε, θεά, Πηληϊάδεω Ἀχιλῆος οὐλομένην, ἣ μυρί᾽ Ἀχαιοῖς ἄλγε᾽ ἔθηκε, πολλὰς δ᾽ ἰφθίμους ψυχὰς Ἄϊδι προΐαψεν ἡρώων, αὐτοὺς δὲ ἑλώρια τεῦχε κύνεσσιν οἰωνοῖσί τε πᾶσι. Πρωταθλητής 1 Your name is Pyrrha Nikos and you do not care one wit for the blatherings of the girl in front of you...

You’re starting to hate your family. For most of your life, you thought you’d remain the only child of your parents. Not for lack of trying, you’re sure, but needing the assistance of an outside Inspired just to have you was not an outstanding indicator of fertility. One of the “gifts” of...

You live in a world of magic and peril, there are thousands of ways you can die everyday but an equal amount of magical opportunities to get rich quick. I the narrator, who was bored today has decided to write a most likely horrible quest, which will probably be abandoned in the near future. So...

It all began in China, Qingqing City. There was news that a baby that gave off light was born. Then it died, because the infant couldn't consume enough sulphur to fuel such a wasteful chemical process. In fact, the first quirks generally resulted in the deaths of the child and/or the carrier...

TERMINUS QUEST The cesspit of the galaxy. The lawless frontier. The dark edge of civilization. A wretched hive, if one is feeling poetic, of scum and villainy. The Terminus Systems. Your home. Honestly, the reputation is exaggerated. Those in Citadel Space like to claim that theirs is the...

This focuses heavily on unreliable narration, so for the most part any inaccuracies are either the characters being mistaken, or they're lying. Since Tanya's ridiculously OP, and the story of her showing up in a world she could easily fit into would be a boring curb stomp, this is not that...

“You know, you’re going to fall off if you keep this up. Or, worse still, you might have your nose eaten by a flying shark.” You step away from the ship’s railing and halfheartedly glare at the Scout responsible for the unnecessary comment. Like all Scouts, he’s wearing a dark green cloak...

Yep.

It was with a splitting headache that I awoke. It is a rare cat that enters the Umbra, but the rarity goes down quite a bit when you count those for whom it was an accident, like myself. We all have a bit of that innate affinity for secrets gifted to us by Gaia herself, and what is a...

Stories have power. This would be fine if it were the perfectly ordinary sort of power which comes from changing the thoughts and opinions of those who hear them, but unfortunately for you, they can also warp the world itself. They, much like many of those who made and told the stories in the...

With the introduction of Reader Mode, Story Only threads have, essentially, been rendered obsolete. As such, I will not be posting the rest of the story posts here. The main Ignition thread can be found here. The button for Reader Mode is right next to the page navigators, or here...

Dragon Ball: After the End From small-time fighters that were insignificant in the face of things to the pinnacle of godhood itself -- that was, in truth, but the start of Goku and Vegeta's adventures. They lived for many years beyond that, fighting and getting stronger all the while, and...

Samedi Bourbon Street 1.0 Prologue I had the worst power ever. I mean, aside from the powers that turn you into a monster like Crawler or the Ash Beast, I'm pretty sure there aren't very many powers that I would not choose over the one I'd gotten. Even someone like Leet's was better...

Hello, Commander. In light of the recent xeno incursion, this council of planets has convened to approve the activation of the XCOM project. You have been chosen to lead this initiative: to oversee our first, and last, line of defense. Your efforts will have considerable influence on this...

An unusually short post, but hey, it's chargen. Sitting in the back of a car, you try to keep calm and avoid letting terror sink in. Things have been a bit hectic lately and you have no idea what to do about it. [] Low magical girl potential, ability to become a MTG mage. Your father...

"This is New…” An Original Quest. You’re not quite sure where you are, who you are. There’s nothing around you, a murky blackness overtaking your vision, as you stare back at the blackness. You’re vaguely aware that it feels like your floating, drifting softly to and thro; as though the...

If the PC seems bland and severely lacking in the emotions department for all of 0.?: that's cuz she had almost no personality to speak of. It was still in flux. "Life isn't fair." you mutter. You've started to really hate that phrase. It's an excuse, a rebuke, and a taunt all rolled...

2018 Note: I apologize for the handful of grammar mistakes in the earlier chapters of Fragmentation. I'll probably come back and fix them sooner or later. You wake up in a featureless void populated only by spinning shapes of various color and size. You dimly recall that this should be the...
