Lights, Camera, Action?
Brightly shining stage lights shine down on me as I enter centre stage from behind red curtains. The stage is set up with seven podiums lined up facing out into the crowd. Everything is outside, the floor is made of fake grass, it's daytime, and I can't seem to find the spotlights.
I take my spot behind the podium in front of me, joining everyone else. Each person at a podium represents a team. Looking to my right I see a man with a Korean flag stitched into the skin of his shoulder.
For some reason I am kicked off stage and I exit down a set of stairs to my left. The stairs lead down to a channel similar to ones built into stadiums. As I leave the place I am joined by some members of my team, three others.
We go back to our home, two log cabins. We all enter the closest one, going through the front door two of my teammates split off to sit on the couch and watch TV while the other one goes through a door along the back wall.
I start to head back to my room but suddenly the roof crashes down. A spaceship smashes through the roof and part of the right wall. A door in the side of the ship opens and out steps the rest of my team, the other two members of my team that had not joined me before.
Stranded
I am stranded on a desert island with no trees, only grass and a beach. I swim out away from the island until the ground comes back up, the sand doesn't reach out of the water only making a small platform for me to stand on.
Looking back I had only swam twenty metres so I decided to swim back. Getting back to the island a friend of mine had captured a cow and trapped it in a rundown marketplace stall. She asks me what it’s name should be.

Showers
My family and I walk up to a small stall like building to pay for something, an exit fee or something similar. To the left is a doorless doorway with steps that lead down. I split off from the others to head down.
The stairs lead into a big tiled room, tiled separators jutt out from the wall on both sides at regular intervals. In each of the resultant alcoves each wall is lined with showers. I walk further in and see a girl peeking around the edge of the last wall.
She hears my steps and turns around to tell me I shouldn't look in. I go around the corner and walk almost halfway in before I see a dead body on the ground. The corpse belongs to the girl that told me not to look.
Mines
I bike through a crisscrossing network of tunnels in a mineshaft being chased by people in minecarts who can turn whatever they touch into earth.
AAA
I am watching a race on TV where you have to scream at a car to make it go faster so the racer with the most fans usually wins. One racer cheated by hiring opera singers to blend in with the crowds.
I Honestly Don't Know
Me and a group of friends begin in a room that houses a Rohrrezzb[sic]? and go through challenges to win against random other groups. We go down some stairs to begin a challenge to make a burger. I got nicknamed the raider. We then exit through a snarky portal to accomplish something.
We go down another set of stairs, these ones wooden and at the bottom is a fake door that leads nowhere. On the other side of the door is another challenge where we have to wind up a toy nutcracker.

Ditto
We play a game with the FOV zoomed in and we have to defend an open world with wax soldiers.
Race 2 Electric Boogaloo
Sprinting through blue coloured rings of light and avoiding red ones, I race others through a Venice like city. The ground is much higher than the water level, almost a sheer cliff between the buildings and water.
As I crossed a wooden bridge I accidentally hit a red ring. The red ring significantly slows me down and the sudden change in momentum trips me up and I fall off the edge. I hit the water with a loud crack.
Fuck
I can jump between dimensions. I teach my friends from a different dimension how to swear in English.

Mary Susan Oceanrunner and the Brutus Saint's Academy
Join Mary Susan Oceanrunner on her quest to do... erm... something really important for the world... probably... Ahem. Long gone are the days when every hero could do whatever they wanted - now, we are civilised. We have government. Law. And proper forms. Lots of proper forms. (Final episode 25/07/2022. Also - beta readers far into the book rate the 'gore' degree as below 2/10, so the warning is a bit much) Mary Susan Oceanrunner is a poor girl from the orphanage, who like many others before, has to fulfil her destiny. The prophecy had been told, and she is the only one who can make things right. Erm... probably. Anyway, she can't just go and kill monsters like in the middle ages. First, she must apply for the appropriate permissions, fill the forms, learn about the proper loot taxations... Hey, no one said adventuring would be easy, right? Disclaimers: No claim made by any character by the book should be treated as the author's or anyone else's opinion on any subject. Most likely, it was just the funniest thing the Author could think of at the time of writing. This book contains many references to other works. It will probably be best enjoyed by individuals familiar with at least some of the following: 1) Computer games2) Fantasy in general3) Science fiction4) Tabletop RPGs5) Conspiracy theories6) Corporation work life7) Long forgotten prophecies uttered millennia ago in almost as forgotten languages under a starless night three dusks before the great convergence8) Filling any government-mandated form9) School10) EnglishMy ultimate goal is to make as many people experience something akin to joy while reading (think ~a bit louder exhale through the nose). It doesn't mean every scene will be funny or joyful because that's not how this stuff works. I can neither confirm nor deny having any other hidden agenda outside of that.
