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.

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.

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.

Zombies
This is one of three stories that I am offering as a test run. If you like it, then I'll choose to continue working on it. I have a whole plot line ready to explore! What can I say, I'm a sucker for rebirth, regression, and transmigration stories. This one is a regression story. The main character get's yeeted back in the past, to where the end began. Read on tortured souls as I do my best to break the weak, and sooth those who don't have a soul to break. I spent some time trying to make a story that explores all the gritty situations a resident of the apocalypse would encounter. Unfortunately, I do struggle with pace. I get just as impatient as you when I can't get to the next bloody encounter. But I despise OP characters, and I really wanna stop and explore the fascinating death of civilization. I write this in hopes of making a main character who get's to be the bad-ass I can't be, without, you know, skipping the good stuff.
