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.

Mortis Operandi 1- New Hire
Thank you for reading, I have to start with that. The feedback and encouragement from RoyalRoad users helped me finish my book. I left the unedited version up as I worked on editing and making it a little more polished. However the time has come for me to put it on Amazon and hopefully let other people read the story. If you have Kindle unlimited you should be able to read the story there. If you just want to order an ebook version you can do that as well. I should have a paperback version coming up. https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07T46B4NM Again thank you for reading and helping me on this journey. It hasn't ended however, my second book which I'm hoping to do well enough that reading the first isn't completely necessary, is still being worked on here, https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/24562/mortis-operandi-2--terms-and-conditions . Any feedback, comments, even critism is welcome as I work on giving you the best version of my story. I'll leave the first two chapters up here, unless Amazon says otherwise. There should be enough differences to avoid issues though. THANK YOU! Thank you! thank you! __________________________________ Adventurers enter dungeons every day. Battling evil monsters, defying dangerous terrain, triumphing over devious traps... ... but none of them ever ask why? That arrow trap, who reloads it? The pitfall trap, who cleans out the bodies and sharpens the spikes? What if the grates get clogged, where will the blood and gore drain? When you are trying to study ancient lore or plan on conquering a kingdom, you don't want to worry about all that. You just want peace. Mortis Operandi is a different kind of company. One that celebrates diversity. One that celebrates value in individuals. With flexible pay and plenty of advancement opportunities, it is a company that knows its workers are it's most valuable asset. As they design, build, and install traps, rooms, obstacles, and repair they are a one stop shop. When a possible recall sets events into motion, the company must pivot in a new paradigm of full circle Dungeon service. The Goblin Eft No-toes has a solution that entwines ex-adventurer Elric into the business of death. *Note the above statements are forward looking statements. In no way do they promote or suggest that Mortis Operandi will project greater sales or revenue. Understand that investing in a company does involve some risks, and possibly much rewards.
