Prompt: A man wishes to break free from his dystopian government, but he is useless. He is has no power, and the sentinels monitor everything. However, a spark of hope ignites.

The first prompt smells heavily of incest

 

[LEAVED]

Regression story but every choice MC only worsen the long run. Like he saved his village from goblin horde but in return denying the catalyst event for the rise of the saint. He joined the actual hero and prevent the hero for getting manipulated by a noble, but in doing so no aristocracies willing to help his cause because their lack of understanding of the politics. With the hero they foils the falls of the dwarf's capital, savings millions if not more. But now the relation between human and dwarf remain as business partner not as comrade-in-arms like his previous world.
The MC saved millions, but doomed the world.

Local gods of another world tries to isekai a man from earth to be their next Hero, but later found out that their competitors, the Evil Gods, wants to isekai the same man to be their Demon King. But what both sides didn't know was that the man they have chosen is very proficient at evading truck-kun and all sorts of death. Thus, chaos ensues as a contest of who gets to kill the man first wins.

-Main character discovers mythical weapons (like Excalibur)

Pretty wide range of possible ideas.

Well, off the top of my head.

Fantasy world, mostly desert (Both types snow and sand), few oasis.

MC finds weapon in tomb (Can either get into the tomb by tomb raiding or just accidently fall in a sand pool which drags them under).

If going for the tomb raiding route, then the story could be MC going to different places trying gain other weapons.

Otherwise, just make rare weapons an exclusive powerful good. And now that the MC has gained one, many people are now suddenly interested in them. (Want them to sell it, or for some other reason).

Short story could be about the MC trying to escape from this pressure of everyone's eyes are suddenly on them. With the ending either being, they return the weapon, they die, or they just fuck off. Or something completely different.

Just an idea that I quickly thought of.
Hopefully you find something useful in this thread.

Mc is playing a vrmmo game where sword and most other melee weapon obsolete, gets a chain quest only to find a sword stuck in the middle of nowhere, pulled it out for fun.
Sword is bugged, mc stuck with a terrible (magic) sword, mc redefines the entire meta.
Or mc is a scavenger in a post apocalyptic world, found a magic sword, bagged it thinking it was just scrap metal, gets into a fight, gun broke, magic sword awaken.

Fantasy and Excalibur-ish swords/weapons prompts? Let's do this!

- The weapons of the gods had always been their own, and no mortal was deigned worthy to wield them. One day, the gods stopped answering the mortal's prayers. Shortly after, MC discovers one of the gods' weapons.

- Excalibur, Durandal, Masamune, all of those weapons and many others are powerful and in the hand of the children of the Emperor. When the last child comes of age, he gets to pick one of those. He really wanted Excalibur, but instead stumbles upon Sword. Sword is unlike any of the other weapons, it is not even physical, it is the concept of what a sword is, or can be.

- After the dungeon invasion of 2049, the Earth has never been the same. Swords, bows and arrows, and all sorts of medieval implements have replaced the technology of the olden days that ceased immediately to function the day the dungeons appeared. Guns are now mythical weapons of ages past, so is it a real surprise that MC found a magical gun as treasure in a dungeon?

- There is a whispered tale in the taverns of the most remote planets from the center of the Galactic Empire. It tells of the Precursors, of their fabled weapons hidden in their mysterious ruins. It is even said that those weapons might be powerful enough to rid the Galaxy of the tyrannical rule of the Emperor and his Space Mages. MC, a rebel, would do anything to acquire one.

The BL witch of the depths has seen your prompt.
An urban fantasy heist hides behind it.
She holds out a sign, and you strain to read the words. As you are about to ask her to go back to school or to practice her handwriting for at least 10 hours per day, you hear a voice.
Did someone say BL between a sword enthusiast and an ancient warrior locked in his sword?
No prompt is safe!

(No, I am not above stealing the prompts meant for others. And even if someone uses this prompt, I doubt we will write similar things.)

And that's really it

In this world, there are evil emperors, warlords and priests. It also has mysterious weapons that can change the tide of war or reshape the landscape. The protagonist is just an average joe in a village in the mountains, untouched by the flames of war outside. One day as he came home from hunting, he came across a scene of carnage. The whole village was massacred and their corpses piled up in the village center by a group of thugs in search of a special weapon.

The protagonist was captured and made to watch as the blood that flowed from the corpses, including the corpses of his wife and children, formed a puddle on the ground. A sword slowly emerged from the pool of blood. This is the Bloodthirst. A blood-hungry sword that can cut anything, even a mountain if it is fed blood. Seeing this, the leader of the bandits laughed and proclaimed that with this he too shall carve his claim on this world. And as the gift to the protagonist, he would be stabbed by the same sword that ate his family.

But the leader didn't realize that Bloodthirst was only the name the sword was later known as. Its original name was the Red Eyed Avenger. It was made by one who faced injustice and would show its true power to one who faced injustice. And so the protagonist, who despaired from watching the corpses of his own wife and children, turned red eyed and wished for power. The sword appeared in his hands, with full power completely unlocked. He rampaged and massacred every bandit with the sword that they summoned. He then went on to kill all bandits with the Avenger.

Over time, his anger would subside and he would realize that there was no more point in vengeance, and as a result, Red Eyed Avenger would reject him, causing him to be defeated and fall into a deep river. In the river, he came across a palace forgotten by time. There he encountered the Deep Queen, chained there by her own people. She bargained with him for her release, but he was wary of releasing someone with a crime list as long as his. But the queen promised him two things, the sanctity of a union and a trident that is capable of controlling the waves.

Where you go from here is up to you. If you choose to use this, it would be nice if you would credit Ai-chan with the idea, but it's not necessary.

2. GOD asks a Muslim, a Hindu, A Christian, and an atheist to change one thing in the world.

10. You are a stuntman who gets killed in a stunt from a rampaging carriage, and then you wake up in the world of the same TV series where you were working.

These are my current writing prompts. You are free to use them. These prompts are pretty fluid, so you can easily make a magic system around it.
