'Ending 0: Debug Room. Conditions: Beat the game with only Diggory'

After narrowly escaping death during a raid on his dungeon, a final boss is helped by his old friend, they sit and drink gin and talk about dreams and omens. CW: alcohol, strong language

Technology now allows humans to predict the outcomes of their actions, the same technology that allowed them to discover that there are a finite, shrinking set of possible worlds. Decision making is now largely banned and the population strictly controlled due to a link between collapsed destinies and large populations. Then something contacts the computer...

He kept having the same nightmare. He had been on a star freighter belonging to his father's company. There was a retainer droid and a man with a clipboard. The ship came under fire and he was evacuating and... that's when Hell began. (based on a vivid dream I had)

A sequel to Surtur Rising. Diggory the faulty legendary hero is getting his destiny repaired but it goes wrong again. He escapes the disaster but is immediately drawn into a dangerous love triangle between Surtur, his favourite General and a renegade Goddess.

Surtur's homeworld is under attack from Fenrir and her pack, who have been possessed by the same fate-altering abomination that delayed the Ragnarok. During the battle, he learns that Odin has attacked Bunfire and taken Diggory captive. Meanwhile, Bunfire has his own mission and Spatula causes an alien invasion.

The Ragnarok fails to happen, leaving Surtur stranded on an unknown world with a splitting headache and virtually all his power gone. Also, a cat is sitting on him. His first thought is to worry what is happening on Muspelheim but he will need a lot of help to get back home. art by dark roast at AO3 /works/7586881

Two level guardians have a quiet conversation on their tea break, about that one statue in the dungeon that looks different to the others, also about a pact made between an adventuring party that sometimes comes by.

His attempt to use divine magic to obtain a quill feather for his pen goes horribly wrong, hurling him into an adventure involving a lost civilisation, a horde of demons from another dimension and even more political trouble between the Celestial and Infernal Bureaucracy.
