Ding.
The lightbulb returns! You have light in the room! Let’s throw a party to bask in the glory of light!
Confetti starts raining out of a vent near the ceiling, quickly covering the ground. Oh, and the bucket of water is gone. Huh. That deff won’t be missed.
You notice that the confetti (rainbow confetti, in the shapes of whatever was cheapest on Amazon) isn’t slowing down. It’s already covered the ground, and is quickly making its way up to your ankles.
That’s… I mean, it’s impressive, really. Have you ever considered how hard it must be to get ahold of sixty-four cubic feet of confetti? Granted, it’s not packed down, but that’s still an insane amount. Figuring out exactly how much confetti that’d be is taking longer than a five-minute Google dive, so you'll have to figure out the math yourself. I’ll leave you with the knowledge that 20 pounds of the stuff can be shoved into a 18X10X8 box, but that’s all nicely vacuum packed undoubtedly.
Oh look it’s passed your ankles.
At least it isn’t glitter. Hah, can you imagine? Confetti is larger, and this paper stuff looks like it’s biodegradable, if not environment-friendly. I mean, it’s basically colored toilet paper. Way better than glitter, even before you take into consideration that if it were glitter you’d be shaking it out of your hair for years to come.
Unless you don’t have hair. Arm hair, then, I guess. Do you have hair? Do I care?
Not really. If you have zero hair, then I guess you’d be digging it out from under your toenails for years to come.
Enjoy that mental imagery.
Another thing that’s impressive must be the force behind that vent, shoving out that much confetti so quickly. Wait, was there a vent near the ceiling before? I don’t think there was. Weird.
Anyways, it’s still coming. Halfway up your calves now. Apparently there was a sale on purple and gold confetti, since that’s what most of it is now. Maybe some football team lost unexpectedly or something.
If you plan on not dying due to confetti inhalation you might want to press that button at some point soon.

This book is a prequel to Adventurer, it is independent and stand alone, but it does contain spoilers that will give away world elements of that work. Spoiler: Nextlife offered the ultimate solution to Charlie's problems. Not only were they able to participate in the development of whole new worlds, they could find the perfect one. A world where Charlie could become the ultimate expression of their desires, dreams, and aspirations. After all, a dungeon isn't confined by the constraints of human interpretation. Join Charlie as they dive headfirst into the world of Elysium! Authors Note: I understand that gender discussions are not for everyone. If gender fluid concerns are an issue for you please consider not reading this story as it may upset you. If you can withhold your judgement, it is not a heavy topic of the narrative, but it is the MC's motivation to become what they become. I hope that this note helps folks.

The Traitor Games
Welcome to the Traitor Games, and congratulations on your invitation to join as one of the races putting on a show for the galaxy. Your species has been judged as too violent for integration into the Galactic Conglomerate and thus the decision has been made to relegate you to a probationary period during which members of your species will be pitted against each other in games of lies and betrayal. Unfortunate, but the great thing about a probationary period is that it can end! How can we do that; you might be asking. Well, that's easy, if those participants can earn enough points through playing the games, they can potentially buy out your probationary time. Of course, other rewards will also be on offer for success in the games, and if none of your species chooses to be selfless, well then it just goes to show that you wouldn't have been a good fit for us anyway. All those on Earth unlucky enough to not be chosen to become part of one of the most popular shows on Galactic Television, fear not. We will be streaming the various games your race is participating in all across the world. Should we run out of participants, even with our most generous three life system, we will draw more from the population. Good Luck! Noah Landry is one of these participants, he just doesn't know it yet. He blacks out while walking to the local bar McCaffery's, and finds himself, somewhere else. He's wearing clothing he doesn't remember putting on and rocking an absolute banger of a headache. Now he needs to figure out where he is, what's going on, and how he can get out of the Traitor Games. [Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
