Hey guys, last weekend, the neoxian game night’s theme was freestyle story. We all contributed thoughts into writing this story, so it’s a multi-author story. We didn’t pre-decide which direction the story will go or what the theme of the story will be. The first person that got selected by my giveaway started the story. The rest of us just built on the story moving forward.
At some point though, the story seemed to be getting a bit boring and repetitive so we ended it as a To be continued and moved to another story. So we wrote two stories.
I’ll leave you the stories here to read. I’m setting everyone who contributed as much as a line to the story as a beneficiary to this post.
Story 1
Once upon a time there lived a troll. Not a mythical creature of course, those aren't real. An online troll. All he ever did with his time was come online, create multiple fake accounts and troll people on the internet. He derived joy in doing so. There was always a thrill he got when his troll posts and comments got plenty of likes.
One beautiful morning he woke up, and the first thing to brighten his day as usual was to check his notifications to see the sad and woeful responses of his victims. He met something entirely different. He received a message from someone whose username was “God”. What was even more scary was the content of the text. It said.
“You just met your end ugly Troll and there's no mercy or an escape route to what you're about to face. Remember! I am God, I see everything including your fears when you just read this. Guess what! The world is seeing you right now And there is no where to run to, you can either choose to do the right thing or you keep doing the wrong thing but have it at the back of your mind that one day people are going to hunt you down, and I as a God will make sure you don't escape this, because you just invoked the wrath of the humans and you should be scared because they come in thousands and millions and hunting you down by all means possible is what they find joy and happiness doing because you have invoked the wrath of the underworld beings”
What? The troll did not care. These words did not scare him or hurt his feelings. He thought “so many people thinking about me will only energise me”. I might even get powers from the underworld. I will keep on going. This troll became more popular and power. He thought, “These fools. I love the attention. Soon I will be more powerful than GOD. Wow.” I will be even more famous than I am now. Bring it on.

Bring it on.
After thinking so hard on how to become the most famous and power troll in the world, he decided to take a quick nap. Five minutes later, he woke up and couldn’t remember anything.
In a moment of shock, he found out he couldn't remember his last thoughts and he tried so hard to remember where he left off but he was just so overpowered by the little nap he had but his posture was telling him otherwise and that was when a shot of adrenaline juggled his brain up and he recollected everything in bits and pieces but one thing stuck to his head and that was his urge to become the most powerful being in the underworld….To be continued
Story 2
Once upon a time in the city of Neoxian there lived a powerful Dragon. He is the ruler of this great city for decades and continued to promise a peaceful reign to all citizens in this city. He wakes in the morning and provides them with bounty and goodies, he also does the same thing in the noon and at night.
Those bounty and goodies are a show of his kindheartedness, which defines his character and person. But despite his show of fatherly love, a troll emerged under the shadow of bottled messages to throw hurtful words at the dragon. The results weren't pleasant, and to teach him a lesson of his/her life, the citizens did something beyond the ordinary.
The citizens decided to take the matter to Hive watchers.
Did I say Hive watchers? Ah I meant the city detective. Olujay was his name. Known by citizens as Detective Olujay. One of the best there is. The detective announced his intentions to sniff out the perpetrator of the said nonsense, and his method to do do it was quite intriguing.
He called on the city greeters in their uniforms, and also called the attention of some other top dragons. We have to locate this so called Troll before the dragon wakes. Is there a plan to catch this so-called perpetrator? The game master asked.
Of course there is. This is the great city of neoxian. This is not just the city that doesn’t sleep. It is the city of the peaceful and no troll shall be forgiven. We need to hold a city counsel meeting and we shall invoke the old ways to determine and cast out the bad seed. City greeters, announce a city counsel meeting two fortnights from today.
In the meeting they came up with a means of dealing with the troll, a lesson of his life.
The troll came clean and apologized to Mr D when he saw how dedicated the citizens were towards keeping the city free of his kinds and Mr D did something that surprised the Troll but not the citizens.
He showed the troll compassion. Something he (troll) thought a rich man like Mr D doesn’t show to people of his stature. But the true citizens knew better. They see this light every passing day because even though dragons belonged in the sky and preyed on everything below, this dragon was different. He was compassionate. The words Mr Dragon uttered were uplifting words. “I’m the dragon master of the neoxian city. No citizen shall suffer mistreat under me. Return to your home and inform all who slander my name of the kindness I’ve shown you today”. The citizens rejoiced and so did the rebellion.
This second story ended on a better note. It’s important to note that we weren’t aiming for a perfect story, especially since the direction of the story was controlled by everyone and could change at any point.
It was about team work and manifestation of imaginations, continuing a story based on the thought of where the previous person left off. It was awesome, guys. We did a great job, even though we had ourselves a bit of cringey and weird stories.
Thanks for coming again and for contributing to our weird ass stories. Haha
