8-Ball: His voice was super annoying, anyways.
*Free Food POV* Puffball: We've done good so far! Not a single member lost-
Marker: Yet! We don't know if we'll lose this next challenge!
Stapy: Yeah, and don't jinx it!
Foldy: Wait, what is the next challenge, Announcer?
Announcer: The fourth challenge is to find a needle in a haystack. Once you have found the needle, bring it to me. The last team to find a needle, loses. Go.
Needle: needle?
Foldy: Woah, that was sudden.
Puffball: Foldy, just compete in the challenge.
Stapy: Wait, Yellow Face! We can use your Bubble Transformer to turn the hay to bubbles!
Yellow Face: That's not how it works-
Stapy: Thanks! *Stapy uses the Transformer, turning the hay into bubbles*
Puffball: Here's the needle!
Announcer: Wow! That was fast! Good job.
Foldy: No problem!
*Losers POV* Coiny: Any ideas on this?
Pin: Maybe we could use Firey to burn the hay?
Coiny: But then who would get the needle?
Eggy: Well, Firey could just go-
Pin: Yeah, that won't work.
Coiny: What if we try using Needle? She's fast.
Pin: Yeah, she's already trying.
Eggy: Did you guys even listen to me? I said that we could-
*Death PACT POV* Pillow: This is boring.
Remote: Hey Black Hole. Why don't you suck up the hay?
Black Hole: But what if I suck up the needle?
Liy: I'm sure announcer probably has a replacement.
Pie: You got this, Black Hole.
*Black Hole sucks up the hay*
Pie: You see anything?
Pillow: Grass.
Pie: I didn't mean it like that-
Liy: Hey Bottle, have you seen a needle anywhere?
Bottle: You mean this? *Grabs needle out of himself*
Liy: You had that inside you the whole time?
Bottle: Yep!
Announcer: Death PACT is safe!
*BEEP POV* Roboty: -.. .- ...- .. -.. --..-- / -.-. --- -- .--. . - . (DAVID, COMPETE)

Cloudy: Good job Roboty!
Balloony: Hey guys, have you seen little one anywhere?

*ABNTT POV* 8-Ball: Progress is going nowhere. We need a solution.
Robot Flower: What if we just use a metal detector?
TV: Question Mark?
*Robot Flower grabs a metal detector*
Basketball: This is going to take a while. I mean, the hay seems very dense.
TV: Just like you.
8-Ball: Has anyone seen Tennis Ball?
Tennis Ball: Oh, hey Rocky!
Rocky: Hey, TB!
Tennis Ball: Wait, you still know how to talk?
Rocky: Mhm!
Tennis Ball: By the way, where's the rest of your team?
Rocky: Bleh!
Tennis Ball: ...Rocky?
*Team Ice Cube POV* Donut: Guys, do you have any ideas on how to win this challenge?
Firey Jr: Not really. Burning it doesn't work.
Donut: What about you Spongy?
Spongy: I could cannonball into it!
Naily: I don't think that's going to do anything.
Bomby: I want to try anyway! *Bomby jumps in*
Donut: Woah! Bomby, you could explode!
Bomby: Don't tell me what to do! But thank you for caring.
Gelatin: AGH! Hay got in my eye!
Spongy: That's a needle.
Gelatin: Oh. Yay!
Announcer: Team Ice Cube is safe!
Barf Bag: So now what?
Stapy: Hey, you guys!
Foldy: Can we have some of your leftover hay?
Donut: Sure? But what for...
Stapy: We are going to put it on Iance's pile!
Foldy: Yeah!
Bomby: Can I help?
Puffball: Of course!
*They walk off with the hay*
Donut: Geez Barf Bag, Bomby is like a wild card!
Barf Bag: Yeah.
*Iance POV* Pencil: It's break time!
Fanny: I hate how it's constantly break time for you guys!
Lightning: Yeah! At this rate, we'll never get this done!
Match: Fine, like, have your break time.
Lightning: Yay!
Fanny: That's not what I was asking...
Bubble: Who are you guys?
Puffball: We've come to put more hay on your sorry pile!
Bubble: Thanks! Oh, wait that's not good-
*Stapy pops Bubble*
Fanny: Me and Lightning are going to stack more!
Lightning: Yea- WOAH! Since when was our stack so big!
Match: Well, that's like, your problem. Me and Pence-Pence are on break time.
Fanny: UGH! I hate this!
*BLEH POV* Lollipop: Face it, guys. We've found nothing.
Gaty: What are we going to do about it?
Lollipop: I don't know, normally this would be the part where something good happens to us-
Taco: Guys, look what me and saw found!
Lollipop: Is it a needle?
Saw: No. But it's a green hay piece!
Book: That's Grassy's hair.
Taco: Oh.

Dora: DADADADAD (I can't believe you.)
*The Losers POV* Pin: Have you guys found anything yet?
Clock: Nope.
Cake: Wait, couldn't we just use Needle?
Pin: But wouldn't that be cheating?
Coiny: Just deal with it, Pin.
Coiny: Hey Announcer, we have your Needle!
Announcer: That's an ugly looking needle.
Needle: Huh!?-
Announcer: But the Losers are safe, regardless.
Coiny: See Pin, we had it in the bag.
Pin: Ugh...
*ABNTT POV* Robot Flower: Ok, the needle should be here any second.
Basketball: Give me that! *Takes metal detector*
Basketball: I see nothing here! Are you sure this even wor-
*The needle comes flying at Basketball, popping her. *
8-Ball: Oof. By the way, here's your needle.
Announcer: A Better Name Than That is safe!
Announcer: Our final two are BEEP, and Iance.
*BEEP POV* Balloony: There you are, little one! Your acid will speed up the process of finding the needle!
Leafy: WOAH! Wait! Needles aren't immune to Rocky's acid. We could destroy our only chance of winning!

Blue Box Cultivation
Blue Box Cultivation (BBC) is going to be a blend of system blue boxes and wuxia cultivation. In the year 2025, a mysterious illness with no cure dubbed IDK-25 took hold of the world. It killed hundreds of thousands. Max was one of the unfortunate. Upon Max’s “death”, he was transported to another realm where he has access to both System and Cultivation. Max struggles to come to terms with his new reality and the new world. But once he does, he uses his advantages to gain strength and power. As he grows from each trial and tribulation, he discovers more about IDK-25 and the powers behind it. Will Max ever find a way home? And if he does, will things be the same? Updates twice a week. Tuesday/Saturday. Maybe a third if I can write fast enough!
8 286The Hunter - Trilogy
“Start talking.” Ullir said.“Go to hell.” The scaly alien spat.“You have always underestimated me.” Ullir said and touched the alien's arm with the Light sword and he screamed. “You believe that I hold your lives in high regard, and you couldn't be farther from the truth. You are scum. The worst of the worst.” He said and slowly moved the Light sword through the alien's arm, who screamed again. I publish daily with occasional breaks between books. Preliminary cover by me.The first book (Star Wars like, 777 pages, part one) is done. A complete rewrite / retelling / massive expansion / using some of the ideas from Reborn Into Starwars, Summoned into Fantasy by TTT144. With permission, I made it my own. I've actually created a whole new universe for it.The second book (Fantasy, 1,348 pages, part two) is done, and characters from the first book are in it, crossing scifi and fantasy.The third book (Scifi, 1,983 pages, part three) is done, and characters from the first and possibly second books are in it.
8 142Alive?
In the ruins of a once glorious city, a mage awakens. As the sole survivor(?) of the cataclysm that destroyed his entire species, he’s forced to adapt. While learning the intricacies of his new body, he must first carve out a place for himself in a familiar yet foreign world before he can set out to reclaim his heritage. I cannot stress this enough: the character is not human, do not expect him to react like one. I know the hand on the cover only has five finger, but I doubt I am going to find a royalty free radiography with two perfectly functional thumbs placed in a sensible way anytime soon. The rewrite is finished. Beta readers are welcomed and I am still wondering whether I should put the sci-fi tag or not.
8 281The Oresteia (Modernized)
All three of the great Greek Tragedians have written plays about the bloody chain of murder and revenge within the royal family of Argos. Yet theirs is in fact not a story of tragedy, but rather one of redemption. As they move from darkness to light, from rage to self-governance, from primitive ritual to civilized institution, their spirit of struggle and regeneration becomes an everlasting song of celebration to be heard throughout the ages. Forming a discourse set against the emergence of Athenian democracy out of a period of chaos and destruction, the Orestian plays are compelling stories of the tensions between our obligations to our families and the laws that bind us together as a society. In the beginning, we witness how a king’s decision to sacrifice his daughter and turn the tide of war inflicts lasting damage on his family, culminating in a terrible act of retribution. In the aftermath of regicide, we behold how a son must set out to avenge his father’s death by committing a most egregious sin. In the end, the sinner is tormented by supernatural powers that can never be appeased, but ultimately finds redemption and ends the curse on his house once and for all. Woven through all of this is the story of a friendship so close that it elevates itself to brotherhood - Where the blood of the covenant is shown to be indeed thicker than the water of the womb. In this very brief twelve-chapter modern rendition of the Orestian plays, I have chosen to place my focus mainly on the lives of the characters Orestes and his best friend Pylades. The chapters, each around 2000-2500 words, are split up evenly between them in first-person narrative. I hope that you will come to enjoy reading this heartwarming story, but more importantly, that you see how the conflicts portrayed in the story, whether human or institutional, are still much very relevant to our societies today. Note on Sources: The details of this story is very loosely based on The Oresteia by Aeschylus. And I mean very loosely. Other sources that I referenced for detail and inspiration are Mythology by Edith Hamilton, Electra by Sophocles, and Iphigenia in Tauris by Euripides. You may also find that I have quoted some of these works, and others (such as Shelley's Ozymondaeus), without citations (average of 1-2 such quotes per chapter). I did this because I do not have the ability to describe certain scenes nearly as well as some of those writers. If you read a particularly beautiful piece of prose here, chances are it's probably stolen lol. Also, I wrote this during the summer between my high school senior year and my college freshmen year. It was the summer of 2020, and being quarantined apparently gets my creative side out lol.
8 191Elysium
The first God, Prometheus.A being that transcended simple Godhood. He stood at the apex of power, the pinnacle of creation. But it was his might that became his downfall.His heart corrupted as his lovers and friends withered away with the passing of time. He envied them; their mortality and he thristed for it, more and more with each second.His mind and soul were thrown in an endless maelstrom of envy over his own brethren and raw madness. But before he gave into the pull of insanity he ended his own life.Overloading his own power in an explosion so massive that the fundamentals of space and time were distorted, a lone soul made its way through the cracked dimensions; bypassing nether and purgatory. Astray and confused the small wisp entered its new life.
