Challenge #04277-K259: Kharmic Realignment in Progress

The good lucker learns a painful lesson about pushing their luck to the extreme. In this case, when things really hit the fan? Even they end up hurt. First time in their life. Then comes the question, if I have a bad lucker tied to my good luck, does everyone? Sad thing is, the jerk takes quite a while to learn their lesson.

Some people, they say, have all the luck. They never say what sort it is. For some, it's the wrong sort. If they catch a break, it's bound to be one of their own bones. Luck is never in their favour. They're life's losers.

And then one with all the bad luck found their match.

Challenge #04275-K257: A Little Death

There is a terrible condition some humans are born with. Slowly, over time, they lose the ability to sleep. And when their body does pass out, they do not remain that way long, and there are no dreams. A human that remains awake for more than 11 days straight, almost always dies. Desperately they seek someone, anyone, for help. Magic, or medicine, they didn't care. They didn't have long left to live. -- Anon Guest

[AN: My research shows that people don't

Challenge #04274-K256: Second Time Around

I've been around for 200 years. As my old body grew weak and often ill, I saved everything I could and, with help from my mentor, got a new one. I still have a ton to learn. But the most important thing? I'm not as useless as I thought I was.
