After the third world war, a large portion of the world was left desolate, with various poison gasses left in certain regions with a half-life measured in the millions of years most of the earth's population has moved to a chain of megacities.

You were born on the wrong side of the poverty line in Megacity 23. With the increase of automation in the post-war world, work is scarce and the law never reached your side of the city. Your people are more free than anyone else in the world but life is cheap when you're really free and fortunately or unfortunately for you, a body is worth more dead than alive. 

This is for the 2021 Cyberpunk Contest.

This is a story about a gutshot Dragoon's charge into the enemy.

This story is for Mizal's "Lone Hero" Competition.

Additional branching was added the Ninth day of November 2019.

You find yourself a Marchwarden. Chosen by the High Lords of Terra to bring law, safety and prosperity to the fringes of society. Choose how to go about this through various means and bring this lawless place to order.

(Don't procrastinate kids. You might get sick at an inconvenient time and need to knock out your story in thirty hours.)

This is part of Corgi's Lords of the Land: II competition. https://chooseyourstory.com/forums/news-and-updates/message/28855

"The world is what we'll make of it, and there's furs, iron and gold aplenty to the north!" The princeling told us. He was gathering the coin, and he was gathering us. He promised us riches, so we followed him on a few ships he had chartered to claim the land to the north. First landing is about to commence.

You're at the front edge of a colonial effort to make hostile worlds habitable for humanity. You've arrived at a system that was designated for colonization and now you need to choose the place to start at.

As a recruit for the Imperial forces, fight the various rebels, secessionists, pirates, criminals, and the indigenous forces of various oppressed worlds. Bring peace and civilization to the Galaxy with the equality and opportunities that the Empire brings to all its citizens.

A kobold's fight.

The zombie apocalypse has kicked off! It's time to pick up your chainsaw and get to work... except you know that's a very bad idea. You have a fair collection of knives around your home, but you are also smart enough to realize how martially capable you are, which isn't very.
Maybe you'll just wait things out a little bit longer until you feel it's safe enough to make it farther than your front porch

This is a bold thing to do on a college campus. It's a stupid thing to do on the internet. You'd have better luck on X.

WOOO!

I'll take #33

I actually wouldn't mind a birthday link to a few story games. 15 seems like a bit much.
