1x action:
I create a Giant Puzzlecube, full of intricate clockwork puzzles to solve. On its front, I put a sign: "Time Accelerator Inside! Only the Best Mind will Win!"
No sooner has the Godmodder seen this than I push him inside with a "Good luck!"
The Godmodder finds himself in a fairly empty room, with a table sitting at one end. On the table is a box, with a few sliders on it. The Godmodder moves all the sliders, and the box unfolds to reveal a series of rotating gears, which aren't really aligned with anything. The Godmodder, being the Godmodder, instantly notices that some of the gears can be moved, and he aligns them to manipulate the whole mechanism.
With that, the table itself moves aside and a ladder comes up from the floor, leading upward. The Godmodder climbs up, and finds himself in a maze. After wandering it for some time, picking up a copper handle, he finds a small plinth on which the layout of the maze is reproduced in miniature. The Godmodder quickly notices that there's no path to the center... but there is a socket for the handle.
By rotating the handle, the Godmodder is able to manipulate the maze so that a path exists from the plinth to the center. The maze scrambles itself behind him, and he ascends once again.
On this level, the Godmodder finds a great Orrery, depicting Earth's solar system. At its heart is, of course, a model of the Sun, and inside the model of the Sun is an artifact emitting a bright light and a ticking noise: the Time Accelerator, certainly! But the model resists all attempts to be broken.
Eventually, the Godmodder notices a series of plaques, each depicting the position of a planet in the Orrery. The planets themselves, as it happens, are not in these positions. By selectively activating and deactivating the mechanism with a key he found lying around, the Godmodder aligns all the planets.
With that, the artifact emits a flash of bright light, and the Orrery goes dark. The model Sun swings open. The Godmodder takes the artifact.
Suddenly, it goes to pieces in his hand. In the wreckage, the Godmodder finds a note:
"If you're reading this, congratulations! You've solved my puzzles, and reached the center of the Giant Puzzlecube Labyrinth! Unfortunately for you, you've also broken the source of its power, and with the mechanisms inert there's no power that could get you out."
"Well, that's not quite right. As it so happens, the clockworks I used are made of an alloy vulnerable to Godmodder HP. Try and use that as a power source, and the whole Labyrinth will go to pieces. It'll take the HP with it, of course, but them's the breaks."
"Of course, you could just sit here, but you've only got 2 minutes from taking the power source until the entire mechanism starts shrinking around you. See, I built it small (about an inch wide) and just enlarged it using the same power that made it run. With that gone... the alloy is still quite durable. Durable enough to deal some damage before you simply burst out due to insufficient size, and certainly durable enough to withstand any other attempts at removing it."
"I wonder what you'll choose. I suppose I'll see soon enough."
