You push the button.
Ding.
Mr. Table is back! This time there are several (well, four) glasses of juice.
Woo juice! Clearly this is… Erm… Maybe a different picture will be more clear?
Uhhhh… Maybe… A different picture?
Erm.
Ok, but, why are there so many pictures of the same four juices? Clearly these are the same ingredients, or at least very similar ones. But they're all in different glasses and on different backgrounds. Why? Is there some conspiracy going on here that I'm just now finding out about? I'm usually up on all the conspiracies...
If there isn't, I'm going to start one. On to the next picture!
Finally! Ingredients!
Ok, let’s do this!
You pick up a glass of red juice. It looks suspiciously like watermelon juice, but the ingredients claim it’s grape and grapefruit.
And, if I had to guess, the previous pictures had beets or red cabbage in it. They look a lot like beet juice, while this one is significantly pinker and grainier.
The ingredients are a lie.
Here ya go! A delicious combination of grapes, cucumbers, and… pickles.
Something tells me that wouldn’t be a particularly good juice.
Although, I suspect that any juice this color made by a human with the intention of being drunk- drank- drinken- whatever... wouldn’t be made with pickles and cucumbers. Just a suspicion of mine.
It may shock you to learn, but the orange juice…
Is probably made out of oranges.
I know. It was weird for me to learn, too.
There aren’t any ingredients on this one, but I have had more than one juice in my life, and I’d be willing to bet money that this is carrot juice. There might be a couple other ingredients in it, but carrots make up at least half.
You drink the juices of your choice. Or, of our choice.

...Or, of some intern’s choice.
You feel healthy and hydrated. Time to move on?

8 255Art of Mortality
New Synopsis after chapter 56: Long long ago, there was a mortal who despised the gods and envied the immortals. Why do the mortals have to die when the gods wish them to? Why do worlds have to perish when the gods say so? Why do only immortals get to live forever, why not mortals like him? As his family, friends, and his loved one died, he lamented. He wailed, he cried. He cursed the immortals, blasphemed the gods, spat at the heavens. But he was just a mere mortal. His curses were pointless, his blasphemous words were useless, and his spits only returned back to fall on his face. At last, he thought, enough was enough, he would definitely do something about it. He decided that it was time for the multiverse to know what a mortal can do. He was the first mortal to cultivate. Eventually, after a long struggle, he killed the Immortals, enslaved the Gods, and shattered the heavens. He reshaped the multiverse and rewrote his fate. In the end, he reincarnated as he decided upon a grand scheme, a scheme to rule 'All and Always'. He came up with the concept of what is known today as 'Paragon'. And with this, all of reality, 'All and Always', was finally reforming, according to a Mortal's Wish. Synopsis (Old): In the vast and complex multiverse, what can a mortal accomplish? In the grand scheme of things, what can a mortal change? In truth, what is a mortal, and what is mortality? Being mortal is being ordinary, the same as being trash, or so says The World. "No, mortality is an art, and a true mortal is a grand artist. Being the root of all, a mortal can become anything.", says a young mortal boy. Meet Edward Alexander, a mortal boy walking the path against gods and immortals, fighting to the end to rewrite his destiny, and change the grand scheme of things. Can he really change the grand scheme of things? Or maybe he himself is the Grand Schemer? To know the answer, follow Edward Alexnder on his journey to demonstrate the Art of Mortality.*******

All of the modern civilizations that stood on the ground have collapsed, and many kinds of Cryptids are roaming the land. But, due to a type of Phenomenon called 'Eden's garden,' three cities were formed floating in the sky that gave humanity the chance to rest and develop for the past years. Mechanica, Cybertown, and Gearmany were floating at different locations. Cybertown. A city filled with many people and buildings that even the streets can't fit a car is where Aki, our main protagonist, and his unit, will start their adventure to save the remaining people from a crisis.

8 146The Fine and Wholesome Activity of Chasing Shadows
A group of strangers gather in a ruined church. Each one chased a different rumor to find a mysterious storyteller. His stories begin while the moon hangs high and end just before dawn. Every tale features the supernatural but these stories are unexpectedly human.So yea, it's a series of interconnected short stories. This is my first time writing publicly like this so I'd love to hear some comments and criticism.
