    Summary

    Guest 1337 raised an eyebrow but kept his voice even. “Good morning, 007n7. You’re up early.”

    007n7 turned slowly to face him, blinking like he hadn’t noticed the soldier enter. For a split second, there was a blankness behind his eyes—just long enough to notice—before a broad, bright smile spread across his face.

    “Well, yeah! Waking up early is the first step to a great day!” he said cheerfully.

    Or, as 007n7’s mental state deteriorates, c00lgui decides it’s time to take matters into its own hands—crafting a solution of its own design.

    That does not mean that it is honest.

    Summary

    UNDERGOING A MAJOR REWRITE

    The monotonous purgatory setup raises no stakes, no reward at the end of the road. Boredom seeps in this very game the Spectre plays god, and with unwarranted freedom given to an entity—a being of code—that craves power through torment, they mock their victims with a patch update:

    “Welcome to the next stage of the game.”

     

    “A dating simulation. With a side of death.”

     

    “One of you has been cast as the protagonist—the heartthrob of this hellhole. The rest of you? Suitors. Rivals. Background extras. Play your parts well.”

     

    “Win the protagonist's affection. Compete for his attention. At the end of this trial, the protagonist will have to choose someone. And only then will he and his chosen partner leave this place.”

     

    “Elliot, darling? Smile for the camera.”

    Summary

    After the fire, everything Elliot loved seemed to have burned with it. Elliot, drowning in the depths of his own guilt, throws himself into keeping the pizzeria afloat.

    Stuck with the curse of being forgotten, Pizza Guy learns to be invisible in a world that is not- yet what he wishes was his own. Soon, he finds himself attached to the local pizzeria, and strangely enough its sole employee.

    Spring of first meetings, the summer of growth and the fall of what may be (or could have been) what they both needed.

    Will the strings of fate weave them together, or will it choose to tear them apart?
