Imagine a small black stone with a single cryptic rune engraved into one side of it. It seems innocuous enough. Yet when you hold that stone in your hand, you can literally rewrite reality. You can change yourself, your circumstances, even the people around you, and nobody but you will ever notice anything's different. What would you change, if you had that kind of power? Would you improve your life, the lives of your friends? Or would you have a little fun with it?
This is a series of three short dark NSFW stories that get progressively darker, the last one probably counts as psychological horror.

Episode 1: Bad Egg
Synopsis: A confused repressed teen egg finds a reality-bending magic stone and uses it to mess with some school bullies, a teacher, and dad's girlfriend. After an accident sees the stone fall into the hands of one of the victims the egg learns their lesson, and then some.
Episode 2: Anything Goes
Synopsis: Suspecting her lover might be a trans girl in denial, a young barista decides to share a powerful magical secret in hopes it will help her partner break out of their shell. Things don't go according to plan as it turns out using reality-bending magic to try and hatch an egg was maybe not her best idea.
Episode 3: Best Friends
Synopsis: After her best friend reveals he's gained the power to change reality, a closeted trans girl receives an instant magical transition - but it comes with a price. At first she believes she can live with the terms her friend demanded, but after his abuse of power goes too far she comes to realize she has to try and stop him.
Holy jesus...
I just don't have words for these stories, especially Best Friends. That warning is serious. I quite enjoyed the stories, but man it got dark with a hard "r".
Without spoiling anything, I hung on to every word for every story, I read it all over the course of a couple hours tonight. The first was fun, s*xy, sweet near the end, but a little tense in the middle. The second was super cute, and loving. It was hard to read because it reminds me a lot of something I'd do if I had a stone like that, and it was rough to get through because even though it ended kinda okay, it shows how rough it can be when you don't respect your partner's consent, especially when you have infinite power.
And finally... what do I even say about that last story. Holy f**king sh*t.
Your story masterfully deconstructs the issues at play with infinite powered stones. Not to get into detail, but this is the one where if you have issues with revocation of consent, I recommend reading with caution. Choosing to show us the perspective of someone on the receiving end of the stone was a gorgeous decision that led to some masterful writing. I cried while reading it. I yelled out in hope while reading it. I related to the struggles of the protagonist while reading it, especially that first week. It was incredibly painful to read, but I couldn't really stop myself. I was so engrossed and I was so hopeful for a nice resolution.
5/5 stars, I mean I can't possibly give a higher recommendation for this story. I was so moved by this story, I was compelled to write my first ever review on Scribble Hub.

Take the warning in the blurb about this little story collection being dark serious. This being said, it's also really enjoyable! A bit s*xy, a bit f**ked up, a bit sweet and bitter-sweet. Very enjoyable!
