Gimme a random prompt

[Nolff]

I've been pretty unproductive in the past month, unable to type in words beyond 300. Usually, I'd get like 1k every day, now it's reduced.

So, I need to make a oneshot. That's my goal for now, to cure my ADHD brain.

Boys, UNLEASH THE WILDERNESS!

Well, this might be pretty random - an idea inspired loosely by one of the K-Dramas my wife was watching.

Opening scene: A very ritualized murder occurs; the reader witnesses it, but it is not clear if they're an observer or seeing it through the eyes of the killer.
Next scene: Detectives are examining the scene when a man approaches them. He claims to be a psychiatrist who believes one of his patients either witnessed or committed the murder. Unless he is certain that the patient IS the killer, he can't share their name but can share details that came up in their sessions. He only talks to one of the police, a woman.
The doctor and the detective seem to have some chemistry between them but it is awkward at first.
Then a second murder happens, and all indications for the reader are that the psychiatrist IS the killer...
But when a third death happens, it also comes out that he could not have killed the first victim - and that there were other victims before that.
Half the victims turn out to be people who broke the law and managed to escape punishment. And all of them were patients of the psychiatrist...
His relationship with the detective grows - but they both start to become suspicious of each other...
Are they both serial killers? Or is some shadowy figure from their shared past really the culprit? Or is there something even stranger at play?

Villain power/ item lottery system.

MC MUST be in a world of constant conflict.

His golden finger is that he has a lottery system that allows him to gain powerful villain's signature ability/ item/ power.

For example for MHA fans, Shigaraki's Decay and Stain's Bloodcurdle

For example for normal weebs, Aizen's Kyoka Suigetsu.

For weirdo like me, Nike's Gem Regalia and his Jade Road.

The limits are that MC cannot have more than one power/ item at a time, he can spin the wheel after the cooldown but with every new power he must forgo his current.

Also MC needs to learn proper usage of his powers, no instantly knows its get-go

Prompt:

This story should take place in a medieval setting. A retired warrior who participated in the first crusades joins the clergy; one day, as he's hearing people's confessions, a villanous person admits to planning something vile (a murder or whatever; you can get creative here). This retired warrior is now tasked with somehow stopping the tragedy without breaking the Seal of Confession between a priest and this villain.

I must admit, these are quite nice prompts. I'll definitely have it written soon enough. Thx guys!
