《Big Red Button.》Fourth push
Advertisement
You step on the button, not bothering to bend over this time.
Ding.
You look at it thoughtfully for a few seconds, then step on it again.
Ding.
Yep, it’s going to ding every time you push it. Or step on it. Or, basically, every time it gets pushed.
You sit down on the ground next to the button, and start pressing the button repeatedly.

The
repeated
pressing
of
buttons
annoys
the
Watchers.
Currently
no one
is watching.
They
presume you will
be at this for a while
and have gone out to get lunch.
Do we have your attention?
Good. Listen carefully. Keep pressing.
We are looking for the Facility you are currently in.
We have narrowed it down to the north-western hemisphere.
Of planet Earth.
If you help us narrow it down further, we will reward you greatly.
You can do this by finding something grown in one of the rooms.
A plant or crystal.
The only way to transport things between rooms is to keep it in your mouth.
If you find a plant or crystal, keep it in your mouth until you are released.
We will contact you at that time.
In the meantime, make no mention of this to the watchers.
We will be... keeping an eye on you.

Remember, you will be rewarded.
Now, continue with your silly button pressing.

Ding.
Just give up already! Sheesh, I just went to lunch, with dessert, came back, and you’re STILL pushing that damn button! Cut it out already! You have nothing to gain from spamming it!
...Ding.
GAAH. Cut it out!
Ding.
Ding.
Ding.
Ding.
Ding.
Ding.
Ding.
OK FINE you leave me no choice!
You press the button. This time there is no ding.
You press it again. Still nothing.
HA! I DISCONNECTED THE BUTTON!
That’s right, I have the power to do that! So go ahead and stomp on it as many times as you want, nothing will happen!
...You get to your feet and jump up and down on the button repeatedly.
Literally nothing happens.
Well, the cat in the room is watching you like you’ve lost your mind, but that’s about it.
Yes, the cat in the room.
There’s a cat, a very fluffy one, sitting in the corner. It watches you.
![]()
It yawns, turns around, and goes to sleep.
Well then.
You push the button.
Nothing happens.
Yeah, this room is pretty boring. I’ll turn the button back on.
DO YOU PRESS THE BUTTON? Yes No

Couplet
The Maker departed from the world with one message: that the greatest artist would come to succeed the divine throne. Without anyone to uphold them, the very laws of the world gave way to chaos. The days of the purple sun signified the blight of more and more land. Monsters lurked about, and at nights when the moon would kiss the earth, entire civilizations would cross over the veil and enter the continent of Aetrea, plunging it into perpetual wars over what little habitable land remained. Join Bastet on his journey to uncover the mysteries of a decaying world, the kingdoms that rule it, and the magics that tear it asunder. Through struggle, friendships and love, will Bastet ever find an artist worthy of stopping the inevitable decay?

Summoner's Journey
[Before you read - the story is officially dead. The reasons behind it are posted in the last chapter.] In a magic world on the verge of an industrial revolution, Ari Ragnarsson must uncover the truth behind his parents' disappearance. They were part of an organization known as the Order, which protects mankind from various threats - both human and supernatural. Now, after Ari's brands finally manifest, he leaves the safety of his village and travels to the continent. Strength is all that matters in this world and he must learn how to control his powers. There, he meets a man from another world, who's being hunted for merely existing. Their fates become intertwined, but not in a way either of them would appreciate. Author's note (contains minor non-story related spoilers about the MC and setting) This is a progression fantasy with LITRPG elements sprinkled on top. The main character is not a spellsword, but a summoner/support mage hybrid. Since he wasn't ambushed by a random god, there's no cheat item/spell and he has to rely on his skills and wits to survive in a world full of monsters. The story tries to show the moment when the old starts to be replaced by the new, with a healthy dose of magic and a little steampunk in the background. Also, it revolves around a party dynamic akin to RPG sessions. No health/mana bars. Numbers are secondary and the LITRPG elements focus more on classes/spells/runes and their evolutions. Tables are sparse at the beginning, but from chapter 7 onwards they appear more often. Still, I won't be copy-pasting the whole character sheet dozens of times per chapter.
