《Whimsical Invitations》Bezos the Dragon
Advertisement
Once upon a time, in a kingdom far away, was a continent where people thrived. One day a dragon conquered a large territory which he dubbed Amazon. From then on, the people inhabiting Amazon was forced to contribute much of their hard earned money to the Amazon territory, for both the sake of convenience that the dragon's way of ruling provided and the triviality of the dragon's rule in comparison to the daily drama of life. The dragon was uninterested in the people or their lives; he only wanted wealth. And so, the dragon let the people live their lives as they wished as he slowly drained the people of their wealth. This dragon's name was Bezos.
Other dragons inhabited the land. One day another dragon named Gates passed through Amazon and saw the state of the people. He said to Bezos the dragon, “Bezos, I’m happy for your wealth, but there are many people in your territory who are in need. If you shared your wealth among them, surely they would praise you.” The people serving Bezos echoed, “Indeed. What's the use of so much wealth?”
Bezos the dragon said nothing, and life continued as it was. Gates the dragon said nothing, and his life continued as it was, regardless of what he said among the people.
One day, the people of Amazon found amusement in the news of the day. The dragon's wife had taken a quarter of his wealth and left him! “I'd marry a dragon too if I could end up as wealthy as that!” The housewives and barmaids mused.
During this, Bezos said nothing and life continued as it was.
As such, much like it was when Bezos the dragon took over the territory, the daily drama of life is what concerned the people, and sometimes there were people who questioned the way of things. They would say, “There are other beasts we could offer our wealth to. Why must we offer everything to Bezos the dragon? My cousin's son-in-law had become a werewolf, and I'd rather offer my money to him than to Bezos the dragon!”

But again, Bezos the dragon said nothing, and life still continued on as it was.
And as such, the beasts of the land grew stronger, ignored, while the people continued to be groomed for sustenance.

Evolution (Rewrite)
In a single instant, we lost everything. All the technology and progress made by the humankind stopped working. However, that was just the beginning of a new age of evolution — an era marked by battles and fighting for survival to make humanity reach the next level. To me, the end of our civilization made me realize many things. It made me realize how I was short-sighted and weak. Many people died in just a few days. And that made me understand how humankind was soft. But in the end, all my struggles were for naught. In the end, everything made me understand what I truly was. I was just a...

Cosmic Bulldozing Team
"Welcome to the Cosmic Bulldozing Team! CBT for short... references to any other acronyms are purely coincidental." Breve has one exceptional gift: an inborn potential for Resurrection magic. The cost? Every other healing spell she casts is absolutely paltry in comparison to the rest of her race, making her family outcasts within her society. That potential alone, however, classes Breve as a Rank A Healer. By what metric? Well, by the crazy elf lady who’s about to destroy her planet. Wait, what? Here's the low-down: her planet has been targeted by the Cosmic Bulldozing Team, which, as their name suggests, operates in the apparently lucrative business of destroying planets. This comes with the unfortunate side-effect of also murdering everyone who lives there. And Breve would’ve been killed, too, if she hasn’t unintentionally passed their audition for a new healer. Unwillingly saved by the people who just annihilated everything Breve ever knew and loved, she’s dragged into a massive spaceship before, without a moment’s reprieve, being assigned missions to sally forth and commit the same atrocities on other planets. And with Breve's home lying in a pile of celestial bedrock, it seems that cooperating is the only option. And she will cooperate, or so help her, they'll send her back whence she came: into the void of space, where the smashed rubble of her planet now drifts along. "Buckle in, rookie: you've got some planetary destruction ahead of you." (Updates every 2 days.)
