《Big Red Button.》Second punch.

You punch the button.
Dong.
Another dong. Hmm.
Give me a second.
To: IT Desk 3 From: Testing Room Beta Subject: Weird sound. Hey Max, the button goes “dong” sometimes instead of “ding”. Should I be worried?
Just sit tight.
I’ll get to you in a moment.
To: Testing Room Beta From: IT Desk 3 Subject: Re: Weird sound.
Oh yeah, that happens. One of the interns that was hired last week is totally tone deaf and got it wrong. If it goes “dang”, be worried. Otherwise it’s fine.
Want to grab a beer after work?
To: IT Desk 3 From: Testing Room Beta Subject: Re: Re: Weird sound.
Good to know!
Pssh, you know I’m always down for a beer!
To: Testing Room Beta From: IT Desk 3 Subject: Re: Re: Re: Weird sound.
Cool! See you at eight!
I'm totally gonna beat you at darts tho, fair warning!
To: IT Desk 3 From: Testing Room Beta Subject: Re: Re: Re: Re: Weird sound. Ha! In your dreams, dude!
Hmm? Why are you tapping your foot?
OH! Right! I totally forgot about you!
Sorry!
The sound is fine.
Where were we?
Ok, so the room is now tv-free. In the place of the tv is a treadmill.
It’s good to get plenty of exercise. You’ve been stuck in this room for a couple hours now, why not stretch your legs a bit?
You… You aren’t getting on the treadmill.
Don’t you want to stay healthy? You don’t?
Somehow I’m not surprised.
I didn’t mean that as an insult! Honest!
I’m sure you’re just worried about getting dehydrated, since there isn’t any water in the room.
Riiiiiight.
Well, just to prove me wrong, you get on the treadmill. It isn’t plugged in, but somehow it magically starts up anyways.
You start it at a low setting, a comfortable walk. You could probably go at that pace forever.

Actually, no, it’s too slow. It’s uncomfortably slow. You push the button to speed it up.
There we go, now it’s a nice walking pace. A good half-hour at that pace and you’ll have gotten all the exercise you need for the day.
Maybe.
I don’t know much about how exercise works.
Anyways, without music or anything interesting to look at, you get really bored really fast.
You turn up the speed.
It’s now at a speedwalking speed. Woo! Look at you go! So speedeh!
You turn up the speed again, and have to jog.
Yeah, that’s the ticket! Burn those calories! Go! Go! Go!
Aaaaand now you’re getting off the treadmill, leaving it running. You push the “up” button, maxing out the speed for the belt. It- umm- it’s going pretty fast now.
I see the look on your face. I know that you plan on jumping on, just to see what happens. I really don’t recommend it.
Like, I really don’t think that’s approved by the manufacturers as an acceptable usage…
You jump on.
…
Wow that looked painful.
You ok, dude?
You kinda have skidmarks on your face now.
Didn’t know someone’s heels could hit the back of their skull like that.
You probably have one hell of a headache right now.
To be fair, I totally warned you not to do that. This is absolutely not my fault.
You climb to your feet, groaning. You may or may not have broken your nose.
Also your eyebrows… well… I’m sure they’ll grow back eventually.
Glaring at the treadmill, you head to the button.
DO YOU PUSH THE BUTTON? Yes No

Era: Dawn of the New Gods
Concise Synopsis: This is a post-apocalyptic story about the origins of various powerful figures that appeared after the apocalypse event. During the apocalypse monsters appeared possessing powers and constitution beyond the limits of human understanding. They ravaged the world and brought down all governments. The first part of the story follows Jade, a terrorist that was ravaging the world before the monsters arrived. Dramatic Synopsis: The New Gods, the most feared and revered beings on the planet. They are forces capable of absolute destruction and creation. The Council of Branches Hayley, the Living Lie (if that is her real name) Chao Feng, the Prince of Stars Lara, the Mother of Heroes The Great City of Tver Gog, the Ever Losing War The Unkillable Freak Dave, the Flow Demon Avatari, (only the name is known) Satoshi, the Gentle Hurricane As Impactful as they are no one knew their origin, they are called the New Gods so there must be Old Gods. I and my collegues dedicated our lives to finding their origins only to find out that the beings we fear and adore were once like us, average, mortal and weak... at least most of them were. *It is a sort of reverse RPG as no one knows anything either skills, abilities or how the system works but they find out on their own or develop their own skills or abilites. *The story has many protagonists and point of views but it paints a beatiful story of survival in a world of endless perils for both the humans and the monsters(some monsters are protagonists). *There is a system but it is very limited (not overpowered) and treats everyone equally, monster or human. The system is very different from regular systems; no exp, levels and system items. *The story is a world building story where overall, the world is the true main character. The cover image photo is credited to Angel David *For now it's one chapter a day

War of the Zwei Kinds [Logbook Deactivated]
It’s the end of the world as humanity knew it. A time where humans and humanoids co-existed. Alien Life forces had no choice but to work together, to save the place they were brought into aeons ago. Aliens, what aliens? They look like us, speak like us, and act like us. Higher intelligence so to speak is truly existent, but with a cost. By working with the humans, they created Guardian Weapons--your every day looking weapons but with a slight shift of using condensed energy instead of typical gunpowder. However, this wasn't all. A secret governmental team of operatives scouted from all around the world was trying to find a cure for *The Happening*. An endangering disaster which wiped out most of the male species, whether human, animal or any type of sexual reproduction in the other kingdoms. Equipped with weapons of bio-destruction, they will mow down the terrorist groups, the hidden organizations, and any other party--that tries to stop their freedom and rights. This fiction is written, maintained and owned by Jann Lueder who is following the acts of the Writer's Pledge. P.S If you are wondering, there is no sort of Harem genre involved, it looks like it at first glance but the plot will explain it all.
