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.

Ghostified City
‘Ghostified City’ is a post-dystopian sci-fi tale, set in a fading world that might be a future version of ours, running out on autopilot into oblivion. Adaman Yimmand is a simple robofactory operator in The City who's working with robots and machines every day. He doesn’t even realise that he might not have met another actual human being in years. Everything begins when he breaks his routine for once and enters a bar where he meets Evelith. This pesky other person does not let him go after he has had his -rather terrible- beer, because according to her actual humans are much rarer than he’s aware of. And from then on ‘the genie is out of the bottle and won’t get back in’, to use her words: Adaman meets more people, and gradually he has no choice but to accept that the reality of The City is not what he always thought it was, and to face the darkness of a fading humanity on the brink of self-inflicted extinction.Is there any hope left for him, and for his species? I have selected 'sexual content' and 'traumatising content' to be on the safe side, because there is a stripclub-like venue in the background of the story, and an almost-extinct humanity that has institutionalised suicide which might be disturbing to some. Apart from that it's not really a heavy 'adult' story.('Ghostified City' is my first long story in English as opposed to my native language Dutch, and an earlier version was published on my fiction blog 'Oranderra' until I stopped updating. This is a slightly altered version of the first series.)

Cinder Roots (Undergoing a Rewrite)
This novel is currently undergoing a major rewrite, as I noticed several plot points that needed to be revamped. I'll leave the chapters I've posted here to anyone curious to see how everything started, but I'll be posting the rewritten story as a new novel in the future. The characters will be the same, but the journey will be more understandable and hopefully, a lot more fun to read. -------- First, everything was fire, it killed, it consumed, and it gave him life. He was just a tree, born in the biggest forest that remained in the world, full of dryads, naiads, elves and treants, but he was alone. He couldn’t see. He couldn’t talk. Curiosity plagued him. He dreamed of wandering the land, but could only wonder what stood outside the reach of his roots. The tree was tired of waiting. He decided to not just dream, but to act. How could he survive against a invading empire, a grand conspiracy that threatened to shake the foundations of the world, and the raw danger that lies within these woods? With pure determination. Warning - There are quite a few POV changes in the first chapters, but that'll change after the introduction is done, as I'll be focusing on the MC perspective only.
