Needle: Hey, guys! The Cheese Orb just added tons of new decoration!
Pin: Whuh, really?
Needle: Yeah, look!
*There is an assortment of tables and benches decorated ornately on the grass where the contestants hang out*
Eraser: Aw, yeah. Comfy!
Pin: Oh, these will be great to sleep in! *Pin goes on a bench, not to realize Eggy is already on it*
Eggy: Uh... Pin?
*Pin dozes off into sleep, without realizing Eggy is right next to her*
Eggy: This is awkward...
Stapy: Hey, that bossy Pin stole our spot!
Foldy: And she slept on it! This is so unfair!
*Foldy and Stapy walk away, annoyed*
Eggy: B-bossy?
*Iance POV* Match: Like, these tables only have, like 4 seats. How is the whole alliance supposed to fit on this table?
Ruby: What are you talking about? WE have four... *Spongy jumps on the table, filling two seats* oh.
Bubble: I'm coming guys! *Bubble leaps, but gets popped by Flower throwing her pen at her*
Spongy: What was that for?
Flower: Sorry, the pen ran out of ink. What was I supposed to do?
Fanny: I hate pens!
Ruby: Well... at least we don't have to worry about there being too many seats now?
Match: Like, sure... but how do we recover Bubble?
Ruby: Can't we just recover her?
Spongy: But the cheese orb's here.
Match: Ohhh... yeah.
Lightning: Hey Cheese Orb, can you-
Cheese Orb: Oh, yeah! Cake at Stake time!
*Cake at Stake! *
Cheese Orb: Hello, BEEP! Welcome to your first-
Firey: Third.
Cheese Orb: Oh. Yeah, cake at stake time! We got, uh, 13 votes!
Cloudy: What's the prize?
Cheese Orb: Oh... uh...
Balloony: Did you seriously forget about the prize?
Cheese Orb: No, no, your prize are these 5 rocks!
Nickel: Oh, wow, how creative...
Cheese Orb: First safe is Cloudy, who got no votes!
*The rock passes right through Cloudy* Cloudy: Huh? Ow!
Cheese Orb: Next safe are Balloony, and Woody, at one vote each.
Woody: Wuh? *Woody barely catches the rock flung at him*
Balloony: Good catch, Woody!
Woody: Thanks!
Cheese Orb: Nickel is also safe, with just 2 votes.
*Nickel catches the rock* Nickel: Oh, phew. I thought I was a goner.
Cheese Orb: The final 2 are Firey and Leafy.
Firey: Huh.
Leafy: Oh, no, no, no!
Woody: Huh?
Cheese Orb: The last one safe is... Leafy. Leafy got 3 votes, while Firey got 6.
Tennis Ball: Wow, that's double Leafy's votes!
Marker: People must not like Firey.
Leafy: Oh, phew! I got scared there for a second. But, F- Firey....
Firey: I guess I should have expected this. I've realized I shouldn't have lashed out like that in front of all of you guys.
*BEEP looks at Firey with a distrusting look* Leafy: Firey...
Firey: I know, Leafy. I'm not a good friend. I should've been helping in the challenge.
Leafy: Wait, no!
Firey: *sigh* Cheese Orb, eliminate me.
Cheese Orb: Oh, I can't do what the announcer does, because... uh... I don't know how?
Firey: Then what WILL you do with me?
Cheese Orb: Put you in a cage, just like IDFB!
*Firey is thrown in a steel cage* Firey: Great. Not the first time.
Leafy: Ugh, this is my fault.
Balloony: No, it's not. I mean, you can still talk to him.
Leafy: Hey, I should! *Leafy leaves*
Balloony: Ugh...
Nickel: Oh no! I was in the bottom 3, what do I do!
Cloudy: Maybe we can form an alliance?
Nickel: If it helps me stay in, totally.
Cloudy: Woody, will you join too?
Woody: Weh...
Nickel: I think he has allianceophobia.
Advertisement
Cloudy: Huh? There's nothing to be scared of, Woody.
Woody: Wuh, okay!
Nickel: Yay! We should get Balloony to join too!
Cloudy: Balloony, wanna join my alliance?
Balloony: Uh... I'm fine. *Balloony leaves*
Cloudy: Wuh?
Fanny: Recover BUBBLE!
Cheese Orb: UHHHHH.....
Match: Can you not recover?
Cheese Orb: Oh, I can totally recover!!
Lightning: Then... do it.
*Cheese Orb recovers Bubble*
Cheese Bubble: Hoy guys! It's me, Cheese Bubble!
Flower: Cheese Bubble?
Ruby: This... isn't Bubble.
Cheese Orb: It is! She's just made of cheese.
Cheese Bubble: I'm the Cheese Bubble, Hoy hoy!
*Flower writes notes*
Donut: Hey, Cheese Orb. What's the next challenge?
Bomby: I'm dying to know!
Cheese Orb: Oh, wow. I didn't expect you guys to ask me to do the challenge this early!
Spongy: We don't do anything else...
Bell: Yeah, so what is it?
Cheese Orb: Ugh... fine. The 18th challenge is to get out of these 8 cheese cages I've trapped you all in. Last team to do so, loses.
Pen: Huh!?
*BLEH POV* Puffball: Okay... how to get out of here...
Saw: Taco, try using me as a saw!
Taco: Okay?
*Taco tries to use Saw to cut the cheese, but it fails miserably*
Saw: Oh, great. Now I'm stuck.
Lollipop: Saw, don't worry. We'll be out of here sooner than you think.
Gaty: NOM! *Gaty eats a bit of the cheese* Eugh... I forgot how bad cheese tasted.
Lollipop: You're lucky. I'm lactose intolerant, so I can't even eat cheese.
Gaty: If anything, you're the lucky one here.
Puffball: Guys, I have an idea. What if we get out here by pushing the cheese wheel we're stuck in?
Saw: I don't think that will really work.
Puffball: Well, do YOU have any better ideas?
Saw: No...
Puffball: Then let's roll!
*All of Bleh start rolling the cheese*
Taco: Wow, this is tiring.
*ABNTT POV* Robot Flower: Will they ever stop fighting?
Basketball: I don't know... I just want to stop it...
Robot Flower: In my opinion, it would be best to just not intervene. It will only make it worse.
Basketball: Sorry RF, but I need to do something about this.
*Basketball leaves* Robot Flower: Wait!
TV: Ahhh, what a nice view.
Robot Flower: It's just cheese.
TV: Exactly. Isn't it so beautiful?
Robot Flower: Are you okay???
TV: I love cheese.
Snowball: GB, I'm going to PUNCH YOU.
Golf Ball: Try it! I bet your teeny tiny brain can't do it.
Snowball: Just you WATCH! *Snowball goes in for a punch on Golf Ball, but she dodges it, instead hitting Blocky*
Blocky: Ow! Oh my god, what was that for!?
Snowball: AH... Sorry Blocky. Now look what you made me do, GB!
Golf Ball: Your fault...
Snowball: aaaUUUUUGGHHH!! I JUST WANT TO PUNCH YOU!!
Basketball: Snowball, calm down!
Snowball: Don't tell ME to calm down!!!
*Snowball tries to punch Basketball, but ends up hitting the cheese wall, causing a crack in it*
TV: My scenery... ruined. My life is a lie...
*The crack causes a hole big enough for TV to fit in*
TV: Oh, huh? We're free!
Blocky: Wait, really? Huh, good job SB.
*Everyone but Snowball leaves the cheese wheel*
Snowball: Huh? What'd I do?
Cheese Orb: Congrats, A Better Name Than That! You guys are first safe.
Robot Flower: What's our prize?
Cheese Orb: Uh.... this bucket!!!
Blocky: Oh, sweet. I love buckets.
*iance POV* Fanny: Any ideas on how to get out of this thing?
Flower: Nope.
Cheese Bubble: I love cheese!
Ruby: That's the 10th time you've said that, NOT Bubble.
Match: Like, crudliously, Flower, why did you kill her?
Advertisement
Flower: I didn't mean to.
Spongy: Guys, there's barely any room for me in here...
Fanny: Why don't we use you to break the wheel?
Lightning: What do you mean?
Fanny: If we push on Spongy, his weight will break the wheel, setting all of us free!
Lightning: Eh, that could work. You ok with this, Sponge?
Spongy: Yay! Sure.
*All of Iance push on Spongy*
Match: This is like, getting us nowhere...
Ruby: Just keep pushing!
Fanny: That's the spirit, Ruby!
*The cheese wheel cracks, eventually splitting open*
Ruby: Daylight! AT last!
Lightning: We're first, right?
Cheese Orb: Nope! You guys got second, beaten by Golf Ball!
Ruby: UGH. Golf Ball.
Cheese Bubble: I love cheese!
Fanny: I hate cheese!
Cheese Bubble: I want you gone.
Fanny: HUH?
*Death P.A.C.T. POV* Tree: Black Hole, can't you just suck up the cheese?
Black Hole: I can't!!! It's repelling my gravity.
Remote: That's new.
Pen: Well, do you guys have any other ideas?
Rocky: Hmph!
Tree: Not really, no. We usually rely on Black Hole to do all the work.
Liy: Most of the time, it works!
Pen: Well, it won't now. So we need to think of a different idea, one that will actually work!
Rocky: Bleh! *Rocky vomits acid on the cheese, causing a hole to be formed*
Pen: And... there's our solution.
Liy: Oh, good job Rocky!
*All of Death P.A.C.T gets out, with Tree having a little bit of a hard time getting out, but still getting out nonetheless*
Cheese Orb: Death P.A.C.T. is safe!
Tree: Good job little guy! Now... go along. We have some discussing to do. *Tree leaves*
Pen: Have fun, Rocky!
Rocky: Hm... *sad vomit*
*The Losers POV* Coiny: Any ideas on how to get out of this thing, guys?
Pin: Eh, no.
Clock: I tried kicking, but I think my legs aren't moving anymore.
Eggy: What the- whatever. We just need to think of something... any ideas, Teardrop?
*Teardrop is drawing random things in a sketchpad*
Eggy: I'll take that as a no.
Needle: I have one idea!
Coiny: What is it?
*Needle grabs Pin* Pin: Ack! Needle! What are you doing with me! Put me down!
Needle: Calm down, Pin. I'm just gonna...
*Needle slams Pin into the cheese wheel, causing it to break*
Pin: Ugh... What was that for?
Needle: To win the challenge, silly.
Clock: Freedom!
*Teardrop runs off*
Eggy: Where do you think she's going?
Clock: I don't know... somewhere cool?
Coiny: Hey... cheese orb? We finished.
Cheese Orb: OH, okay! The Losers are safe, at 4th!
*Free Food POV* Eraser: Are you seriously trying that staple thing you did on that tie challenge?
Stapy: Hey! It worked last time!
Eraser: Fine. Have it your way.
Foldy: Eraser, this'll work. Trust us.
Eraser: *sigh* Fine. And if it doesn't?
Foldy: I don't know what we do if it doesn't, heh.
*Eraser rolls his eyes*
Tennis Ball: This cheese is surprisingly wide. Like, wide wide.
Bell: What made you think that?
Tennis Ball: I can't even hear people from outside the wheel!
Bell: Yikes!
Marker: And, this cheese is very untossable...!
...
Marker: I can't toss it.
Bell: Gh- yeah, we know...
Marker: Oh, okay! *Marker leaves*
Tennis Ball: So, anyways...
*Beep POV* Cloudy: Where's Leafy?
Balloony: She must not have been teleported.
Nickel: Where do you think she is?
Balloony: Probably talking to Firey.
Cloudy: That guy always gave me bad vibes.
Woody: Agreed! *Woody punches the cheese, causing a crack*
Nickel: Woody, do that again!
Woody: Huh? *Woody punches the cheese again, causing a bigger crack*
Cloudy: Wow, good job, Woody! Keep going!
*Woody keeps punching the cheese, until the punching causes a moderately small hole to be formed*
Nickel: Just enough for us to fit through!
Woody: Phew... that was tiriwng...
Balloony: We're free, right?
Cheese Orb: Yeah! Beep is safe, at 5th place!
Balloony: Alright. Anyway, bye, guys. I'm gonna go check on what Firey and Leafy are doing.
*Firey and Leafy POV* Firey: I'm sorry, Leafy.
Leafy: Thank you for apologizing. Really. I know you were just mad by what I had done in the past.
Firey: It was my fault for not letting you on in the first place.
Leafy: I understood how you felt back then, though. I was acting like a fake friend...
Firey: Whatever, I now know you aren't. But you should be helping your team.
Leafy: Huh, you're right! Bye, Firey! I have a challenge to win-
Balloony: We already won. Without you.
Leafy: OH, hey! Good job??
Balloony: Yeah.
Woody: Yay, Weafy!
*Team Ice Cube POV* Gelatin: Guys, I'm getting really claustrophobic here. Can someone get me out!?
Donut: We're almost out, we just need to, uh... get out.
Gelatin: AAAAAAAAAAAAAA I can't do this!!!
Bomby: Calm down, Gelly. It'll be fine.
Bracelety: Yeah! Also me and Bottle are playing a game, so don't disturb us!
Bottle: Yeah, don't disturb us!
Barf Bag: You guys are always playing games.
Bottle: Yeah, we are!
Donut: Whatever. If only Naily were here, she'd know how to get out.
Barf Bag: Wait a second, this cheese wheel has a hole!
Donut: Really?
Barf Bag: Yeah! We can get in here, and use it as a method of escape!
Gelatin: Yep! I'm gonna do that! *Gelatin jumps in and quickly gets out*
Barf Bag: Come on, guys! Let's go!
Bracelety: This is gonna be fun!
*Team Ice Cube enters the hole, and exits out of it* Gelatin: Freedom!
Bomby: Are we safe?
Cheese Orb: Yep! Now it's down to Free Food, and Bleh!
*Bleh POV* Lollipop: All of this pushing is doing nothing, it's just tiring me out.
Saw: I feel dizzy!
*Gaty drops to the ground*
Saw: Oh, geez, Gaty! Are you okay?!
Gaty: Yeah, I'm fine. Just give me a minute...
Taco: Wait, why do I feel like we're rolling... down?
Lollipop: Down?
Puffball: Taco's right. Could we be... falling?
Saw: There's no way... we could just be rolling down a hill or something.
Gaty: I agree with Saw! We aren't falling.
Puffball: It's kind of hard to tell when you can't see the outside!
Lollipop: True.
Gaty: I'm going to sleep...
*Gaty goes to sleep*
*Free Food POV* Stapy: Okay, guys! Almost done!
Tennis Ball: This plan doesn't seem so ethical...
Bell: Fries said that too, and we were fine...
Tennis Ball: I just mean that-
Stapy: It'll be okay, don't worry.
Foldy: Oh, wait, I think I hear a crack?
Marker: Really?!
Eraser: I hear one too!
Stapy: Freedom, here we come!
*A tiny crack happens on Free Food's cheese wheel*
Eraser: Seriously?! A crack!?
Bell: This is so unfair!
Marker: Okay, I'm going to climb this myself!
Stapy: Wait, Marker!
*Marker climbs up the wheel to where the staple is*
Foldy: Marker, you shouldn't be this high up, like, really! It's dangerous!
Marker: I don't care! I need to get this open!
*Marker tries taking out a staple, which causes him to nearly lose his grip*
Stapy: Get down from there, Marker!
Tennis Ball: Yeah! It's way too high for you to be okay!!
Marker: No! We need to win!!! *Marker takes out the staple, causing the cheese wheel to crack, at the cost of him falling*
Bell: Marker!! *Bell rushes to catch Marker*
Marker: Thanks, Bell.
Tennis Ball: Oh, no! Marker, what have you done!!!
Eraser: The whole foundation of the wheel is starting to crack!!
*BLEH POV* Puffball: Guys, guys! I can tell, we're falling!!!
Lollipop: Do you think we can't tell!?
*Gaty goes from lying on the the ground to lying on the ceiling* Gaty: Huh? What's going on?
Taco: Where could we even be falling!?
Saw: The only place I can think of is...
Puffball: Evil canyon!
Lollipop: Evil canyon? You've got to be joking, Puffball.
Puffball: I'm not!
*All of Bleh scream*
Saw: Wait, Puffball!! We have to get on you, so we don't get impaled by the spikes at the bottom of the canyon!
Gaty: Yeah!
*Everyone gets on Puffball*
Lollipop: Oh boy, we can only guess what happens next...
*The cheese wheel falls down to the spikes, breaking it, causing all of Bleh to be free*
Saw: Oh... phew! Good job, Puffy!
Cheese Orb: Bleh is safe! Which means Free Food loses.
Tennis Ball: I told you it wasn't ethical.
Stapy: I-... should have listened to you. I'm sorry.
Bell: Oh, Stapy! It's okay, we had no other ideas besides yours.
Eraser: Yeah. I think next time, we need to work more as a team.
Bell: Speak for yourself, Eraser.
Foldy: Aw sheets of paper, this won't end well for me.
Cheese Bubble: Hoy hoy, it's me! Cheese Bubble!
Marker: I suddenly want the announcer back a lot more now.

*Meanwhile, in a faraway mountain, two familiar faces are hiding*
Roboty: WHY ARE YOU HERE.
Dora: I'm hiding... from the Announcer.
Roboty: SO YOU'RE GOING TO USE THAT AS AN EXCUSE TO INVADE MY PERSONAL SPACE?
Dora: Hey, hey, buddy. We both know you just came to live on this mountain because the announcer forgot to make you disappear.
Roboty: WHY ARE YOU SO WORRIED ABOUT BEING ELIMINATED?
Dora: The announcer... he gives off a strange aura. It's almost like... if you get eliminated, you may never be seen again.
Roboty: YOU'RE INSANE. WHATEVER, JUST BE GRATEFUL I'M LETTING YOU STAY HERE.
*The announcer comes close by*
Dora: Roboty, cállate!
Announcer: Oh, Dora. I cannot find you, but I can sense you. I will let you go off free for your efforts, but I have one message for you. DO NOT INTERRUPT MY SHOW. Or, there will be consequences. *Announcer teleports away*
Roboty: GREAT, WE'RE FUGITIVES NOW.

The Light Bringer
Would you leave behind everything you knew to live the life of another version of yourself? A version from a land where status sceens, levels, dwarfs, elves, beastkin and monsters were real? A world where limits were not set in stone and danger or adventure could be around every corner? If you stopped and thought about it, I think you would conclude it was a bad idea. But for a guy like William Taylor who actually got to make this theoretical choice, he chose yes. He's learning to regret that very quickly. But maybe one day he won't, if he lives long enough ------ Just some details about what this story will be like. This is more a character story than a story about leveling up and becoming OP. That may happen in time but don't expect it any time too soon. The MC has no powers that he brings into the world. He just has to do the best he can with his wits, knowledge and will to succeed. Also it's only fair to warn people this series has a bit of a slow start. 1 chapter a week with occasional bonus chapters.

Post War Rules
Life on Torus Terminal is usually fast paced, but simple. A frontier Terminal has little room for easy living, but the great, circular station does boast shopping and culinary experiences from many Imperial races and cultures. Any star is, by its nature, extremely far from its neighbors. But laser highways, and the great shimmering sails of the light-rider spaceships make the trip into only about ten years. Still, the denizens of Torus Terminal eagerly await the day when the Anti-Euclidean Engine their station is built around finally comes online. Once that is done, they will have unfettered access to the entire Empire. Instantaneous travel and trade across hundreds of stars. Torus Terminal does boast one other oddity: a creature which calls itself Human. As he says, the last of his kind for now. He has made quite the life for himself on Torus Terminal, especially in the darker corners of the station. The elites of Torus Terminal praise his name, for once he took up arms, crime began to fall. What they did not realize was that was because he had claimed the seedy underbelly of Torus Terminal for himself and his own goals. The elites praise him as a paragon of law. The criminals fear him as a ruthlessly clever crime boss. Those closest to him, know him as the General. This story was originally posted on the Humanity Fuck Yeah subreddit, where it evolved from a simple play on a historical figure in a science fiction setting into a full blown space opera. I kind of took it as an opportunity to explore a setting I've had rolling around in my head for years. I also decided that it would be nice to have it in a place where I could more easily come back and edit it later, so I'm reposting it here. Here's a link to the original posting if you're interested: https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/comments/e9cwpl/post_war_rules/ If my genre and tagging is subpar, let me know. I'm still new to Royal Road and I'm open to help. Feel free to comment and make suggestions, or discuss. I love comments, and so long as we keep things civil I also love criticism.

Hellfire Across the Heavens
Three centuries of FTL space travel has spread the people of Terra far across the stars and for nearly half a millennia people have asked the question, "are we alone in the universe?" The answer to that question is a resounding no. To one side, humanity is boxed in by an ancient empire whose light has burned up long ago. To the other, is a federation of alien races known as the Senate. Mankind rejoiced the knowledge that they were not the only life in a cold dark galaxy. But as first contact was made, ET's who transited into the Warp seemed to disappear without a trace, technologies traded with the other races malfunctioned or refused to work entirely, and simple translation errors led to grave misunderstandings. Before long, humanity was outcasted by the Senate and relationships soured, but even still the sons and daughters of Terra worked hard to earn the respect and trust of the Xeno's.
