《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

The Oddity: The One Who Does Not Belong
A purple ball descended from the sky, a gift from the primordial dragons, granting many races of the world access to magic. Unfortunately, humans were not one of those. During the great war, the magicless humans were nothing more than fodder, meat shields. Until one day, their powers awakened. After the war, with the ability to now wield, fire, water, earth, wind, or lightning, powerful magicians gathered to build a safe haven for humans, the Kaldora Empire. Before the humans had magic, other races prospered with it. But, within their midst, there were... oddities. People with an affinity for two elements. Each one leaving some sort of disaster in their wake. Each one, not quite fit for this world. A young boy's family, killed in an accident, only he and his sister survived the night. After that, they were split up, each taken in by a different relative. It has been eight years since the flames engulfed his home and most of his family. With his magic powers finally showing itself, he goes off to a magic academy to better learn about his newfound powers. But as he grows, something else does as well. The voice inside his head, the thing that influences his thoughts, the monster that he wish was gone, the devil inside his heart. This is a tale about connections. NOTE: The story will be slow for many of the chapters and the time will also match it, ex: goes by day by day. The time mostly will be used for introducing and adding to characters. It won't pick up until somewhere in the twenties but there will be action and events earlier on such as the missions. Just a fair warning. Order of Phantasmal Architects

Bonespore
Harux Y'saanith is not your average elf. He is wild, untamed, and likes a good old cut of meat over a plate of vegetables. But what he does have in common is his love of fighting and magic. So when he gets the perfect opportunity to join an academy full of strong fighters, he couldn't resist. Journeying with an eccentric tech billionaire, a boy who's way too theatrical for his own good, a proud knightess and many others, Harux wonders if he'd finally found strong opponents, or even people he can call his friends. Bonespore is a shonen-inspired story set in an academy where students train and fight. There is also a blend of magic and SciFi as it is set in a post-modern world of sorts. If you like something that is a blend of both magical slice of life, and tense moments with battle, horror and other events, then it'll be to your liking. (This will be crossposted onto Scribblehub)

Falling
It is often unclear when a thing comes to an end, the world itself no exception. In the event of the world ending, it was both abrupt and unnoticed, something down right confusing to most involved. Due to this confusion, we will quickly cover the short window of events that led to the destruction of the generally known universe, following the primary instigators to hopefully give the whole thing a little much needed context. ... Author’s Note: I intend to release regularly, hopefully weakly, within the planned three arcs. However, it may go on hiatus between arcs, but it should be clear that an arc has ended. Regardless, I currently plan to go on hiatus after the third arc, which is intended to be a natural breaking point. This is with the hope of not dropping off in the middle of narrative, and I am mentioning it now so no one is surprised if there are planned pauses. Content Warnings: I do not plan to include anything I would see as profanity, gore or traumatizing content. However, I do expect my bar for what qualifies is both above some people’s and below others. Therefore, I am including the Content Warnings so people are not surprised when my view is different. If you find something you do not like, I wish you luck in moving on without it farther concerning you. If I was not as extreme as you were hoping, I apologize for not meeting expectations. I have not marked sexual content, since I do not intend to include explicit sexual acts. However, sex and sexuality still exists and may come up as both an offscreen event or subject. Cover Art: The art work is by me, and I will take it down immediately at request from the artist.
