《Big Red Button.》Second slap.

You slap the button.
Ding.
Welcome to the breakfast room!
Y’no, I kinda envy you just for this room. The walls are lined with tables, and on those tables are basically the contents of a 5-star hotel buffet.
You’ve got bacon. You’ve got waffles. You’ve got fresh doughnuts. You’ve got little fruit bowls. You’ve got coffee. You’ve got tea. You’ve got juice. You’ve got a whole omelette station.
Basically, if you want it for breakfast, it’s there. Go ahead, eat your fill.
You spend a good while gorging yourself on the delicious food, while I gnaw on my little granola bar. Yep, no breakfast is provided for me, I have to bring my own. And the coffee in the break room is absolute crap, so usually I end up going down to the corner coffee shop for my lattes.
But enough about me.
What about you? Are you feeling better?
Oh good. I’m glad to hear that. Food always makes people feel better.
To: Big Boss Chris From: Testing Room Beta Subject: The test subject wrote “button” like a million times on the walls last night. Dude’s acting normal now, tho. Did the tech dudes find anything on the mask? Let me know. I can’t work to my full potential if you keep me in the dark.
After your third cup of- erm, what were you drinking?
Sorry. Got distracted for a minute there.
After your third cup, you settle down, really wishing that someone had thought to include a chair in here. You can’t even lean comfortably against the wall. Nope, it’s either sit on the floor, or stand.
You decide that this room isn’t as great as I’d said it would be.
Again, sorry. I’d make a note to include a chair next time, but the point of this room is kinda to see what you’d do without a chair, sooooo…

Anyways, you’re done eating. The food was good. Almost good enough to make up for a lack of chairs.
Welcome to the-

I disconnect the button.
STOP.
I swear, it’s like dealing with a preschooler.
I ask you to do one thing, explaining my reason why, but nope you have to press that button like your life depends on it.
On a side note, I didn’t hear any “dong”s in there. Huh.
Anyways, let’s see where you’ve landed!
The room you’re in contains a pedestal. On that pedestal is one thing: a Twinkie from the 1960’s.
How do you know that it’s from the 1960’s? Well, quite simply because I know, and I just told you.
How do I know that it’s from the 1960’s? Because it says so in the file.
What file? Mind your own damn business.
Actually, just so we’re clear, you’ve had your free button access privileges revoked. From now on, I’m going to connect and disconnect the button as I see fit. Not only because that ding sound is mildly annoying on loop, but because if you do that enough times you’ll get permanently stuck in that room.
That’s right. You might pass up the exit room, and never be able to get out.
You don’t want that to happen, now, do you?
Anyways. Twinkie. What do you do with it?
You take the twinkie and shove it into your mouth.
What’s the worst that could happen?
You chew and swallow, grinning. Look at how happy you are. That’s nice to see.
Suddenly your stomach objects. Not surprising, really, that thing is like sixty years old.

You try to hold it back, but end up barfing all over the floor. Well done, dude. Well done.
I reconnect the button.
You decide that the only thing you can do is to cram it into the button.
So you do.
Good for you, using your brain to solve problems.
Except it does nothing but make the button kinda gross and sticky.
You rub the Twinkie in.
Do you feel better now? You do? Good.
Ok. Here we go.
I reconnect the button.
You turn your back on the Twinkie!
Such an outdated snack is not up to your standards! You will never touch it!
Hmph!
Well, I’m glad you have such conviction in you.
…
Are you ready to act like a reasonable adult? Yes? Ok.
I reconnect the button.
DO YOU PRESS THE BUTTON? Yes No

Hattoran Chronicle
There is a hostile sky above me. Man will never conquer space. He may live in it, but he will never conquer it. The sky above is void, and very black, and very hostile. -- Joseph Kittinger A pair of extragalactic supersoldiers are betrayed and stranded in the Milky Way at the end of the 29th century, potentially shaking the balance of power within the galaxy, but there's far more going on than anyone realizes.

The two Hattorans are forced to rely on each other and a few unlikely allies to solve a problem they for once can't simply fight their way out of.(Technically Star Trek fanfic but outside of existing storylines and I'm considering how easily the serial numbers could be filed off) This is all in progress and constructive feedback is strongly encouraged! I've got a lot in the air as I bring this all together.

Nostalgic Gamer in a Cultivation World
Dyne Valiant is a frustrated gamer. But as one of the best special ops agents that the world has, his superiors and the government itself ensured that he won’t be able to play video games because of his addictive tendencies. And so he lived and fought without ever being able to play beyond the nostalgic PS-One games. Fate was cruel as he finally meets his end after exacting revenge on those who killed his family. But on his dying moments, another dying man with strange magical powers appears. But unlike Dyne, justice was not served for this man. He then offers Dyne a chance to satisfy the greatest regret of his life… To play the videogames he loved back when he was a kid. Using the enigmatic god-tiered artifact, the Imaginarium Bond, Dyne is revived and sent to the world of cultivators where he must reach for the peak and challenge the gods of that world. And while the path of Immortality and a second life was a great gift, Dyne's joy was elsewhere. Within the Imaginarium Bond were three worlds that the mysterious man created with the last of his powers. These worlds were based on three PS-One classic games and are designed to help Dyne in his Path of Cultivation. Soon, Dyne will reach the Cultivation world and fight the wicked Kings, Saints, Devils, and Gods that now control it. Soon, Dyne will awaken the Genesis Trees of Legaia. Soon he will conquer the many nations with his Rune Knights in the continent of Forsena. Soon he will be reborn as an Endless to battle gods and dragons and slay the founding Emperor of the Fou Empire. Dyne was deprived of gaming all his life. But now his life depends on his gaming.

This will probably have at least 900 chapters before it ends. And I'm being very conservative. As this story is at its early phase, please read and rate it as such.
