The Urban Dao Child. Chapter 29
Advertisement
Yang Dao walked through the corridor under a lot of surprised and confused gazes. These were mostly students of the university and due to the posts on the university forum yesterday they all knew who Yang Dao is. Also, due to the rules formed by the Rich Club High Table last night. One of the rules was to never mess with Yang Dao, they were courteous enough to include a picture of him to avoid any possibilities of conflict.
This rule was not actually included in the list but when Mikhail and the several High Table members receive a phone call from their fathers and elders had to include this rule as well. They asked for the reason and were shocked. Feng Yun personally called all their elders and said three sentences, "It is time you clean up yourself or I will. Yang Dao is my brother if he even sneezes because of your perfume. I will make you pay with everything you have" after this, she hung up and sent them some digital documents. These documents were enough to uproot their whole family and send them behind the bars.
Yes, not just a person but the whole family would be destroyed, this was the amount of evidence she had against them. So they immediately decided to avoid the plague called, Yang Dao. They were all capitalists. They did something they should not have and that one thing led to another and then another. Turning their tiny deeds into a big pile of crimes. Yet the gazes of the crowd were mostly pointed at Yang Dao because he was wearing a pair of sports attire. They had a university emblem imprinted on it.
Some people who were cycling fans knew that what it was and they clicked pictures in secret and posted them on the forum.

[All hail the New Mountain King.]
Yang Dao walked to the class and saw the professor hasn't arrived yet. He got in and sat down on his seat. He opened his bag and took out a composite notebook and a pen. He passed them to Kiya who sat beside him. He spoke, "Thanks for yesterday, class rep."
Kiya lifted her head and said, "You don't have to give it back to me, you know?"
Yang Dao shook his head and said, "I know, but I want to give it back to you. Otherwise, this slightest of debt will make me restrained in interacting with you."
Kiya shook her head and said, "I will only take it back when you call me Kiya and not Class rep. Also, do share your notes with me Topper-san."
Yang Dao nodded and said, "Notes are easy, Kiya. Now, please take these back."
Kiya smiled faintly and took back the notebook and pen. The Professor entered the room and the students stood up. They all spoke in unison, "Good morning, professor Newt."
Professor Newt replied, "Good Morning guys, sit down. Let's start with attendance and then we will carry on where we left yesterday."
The attendance started and when the professor called Yang Dao's name the latter replied with a present sir. The professor paused and spoke, "Congratulations on becoming the mountain king of the first year."
Yang Dao was surprised and replied, "Thank you, sir."
One of the students could not help but ask, "Sir, what is this mountain king? Even the forum is discussing it."
Professor Newt spoke, "The mountain king is a title given to the person who climbs the mountain in a cycling race faster than anyone else and is the first one to reach the highest road point."

The same student asked, "Then does it mean, Classmate Yang, climbed the mountain using a bike and was the first to reach the summit?"
The professor nodded and kept on with the attendance without caring about the murmurs in the class. He spoke, "Icarus."
Then a voice sounded from outside the class, "Present Sir."
Everyone looked at the source of the voice and saw a white-haired boy panting in a sports attire similar to Yang Dao just the color was red. The Professor spoke, "Mr. Icarus Vlad, next time you better be on time or I will not let you in."
Icarus nodded as he tried to catch some breath. He walked in feebly and sat down on Kiya's right. Now, Kiya was sitting between Yang Dao and Icarus. The professor spoke, "Also, congratulations on winning the orientation race this year."
Icarus nodded and said, "Thank you sir." but his chattery personality did not allow him to stop and he spoke, "Sir, do you know Yang Dao defeated me in the mountain zone?"
The professor nodded as he fished out some papers out of his bag. Icarus continued, "We climbed 30 kilometers of Ruby Mountain in just thirty minutes sir. This guy did not let me get past him till the summit for even a second, and that too when it is his first race." his statement shocked the class. The professor was no different than the rest. Yet he regained his composure and said, "Now let's continue with the class."
Then the professor started the lecture and Yang Dao started to take notes with a focused mind. The professor finished the first part and Yang Dao raised his hand. The professor asked with a faint smile, "What is it student Yang?"
Yang Dao spoke, "Sir, My calculation diverts from yours. Did I do something wrong?" his voice was calm. The professor was surprised to see the topper coming over and admit a mistake. He spoke, "Show me."
Yang Dao walked up to the podium and passed on his notebook, he stood below trying to figure out what he did wrong as the professor analyzed his work. After a minute the professor gasped. He spoke, "Student Yang. How did you derive this value of the wavelength?"
Yang dao spoke, "I followed your example sire but just nearing the end the equation seemed unbalanced, and to balance it out I introduced a constant as you did in the previous class. Thus, the result. Is what I did wrong, sir?"
The profess shook his head and started laughing, he spoke, "No, It is better than the standard procedure. Your value is correct. You did well. What I followed is a standard procedure, and the values obtained are also standard. To be applied in general but your derivation is precise and a notch above me."
The whole class was immersed in solving the equation but only now did they all hear what the professor spoke. The professor continued, "How about you join our freshmen physics group and participate in the upcoming Inter-University competition? I promise it will be worth your while."

The Ordinary Life of Tom Nobody
[participant in the 2018 NaNoWriMo Royal Road challenge] The Ordinary Life of Tom Nobody is a LitRPG system story where each person transitions into the system, or SCHEMA as this system is known, innocent and unaware of his former life. Following the tutorial, memories return, but by this point, each person has a better chance of accepting their new world. It also gives them an opportunity to start from scratch, fresh without all the baggage of their former lives dictating their decisions in the early stages of the process. I don’t expect this will necessarily turn into an action-packed heroic tale, my intent is to create a character who wants to have just an ordinary, but reasonably comfortable life. I don’t know myself how well he will succeed, there may be twists and Tom may discover some heroism hidden deep inside. I guess we’ll find out together. This is my first writing attempt. I’ve wanted to write all my life, but I’ve never been able to develop the proper discipline to put in the work. I hope I complete the challenge and work my way past this hump. I am writing this as part of the NaNoWriMo Royal Road Challenge. While I will try to self-edit as I go, the challenge requires close to 2,000 words a day, so parts of the story may be rough, and things like plot lines may not make as much sense as any of us would like. If all goes well, and I complete the challenge, I plan on going back through everything and trying to polish it up. In the meanwhile, thank you for reading and I hope I don’t disappoint.

8 188#Call Cthulhu
An eldritch comedy. After Cthulhu is summoned into the world, the whole place goes to shit. Things really got out of hand after Cthulhu got nuked. Alex and Julius, a pair of brothers, try their best to make it in a North America reshaped by an eldritch apocalypse. “Stop right there Philip!” Julius interrupted, the vein on his temple starting to throb. “I do not want to hear another simile about what magic is. I have had magic explained to me by three cult leaders, a wizard, and a cannibal. I've heard that magic is like a rainbow, all its parts blending together. The human unconsciousness, powerful and unknowable. A body, you don't want to eat the heart straight away. I am sick and tired of people telling me what magic is. I know damn well what it is.” He drew a breath, interrupting his rant. “Magic is a bad joke. A whole lot of setup, for some nonsense punchline. This whole god-damned apocalypse is an eldritch comedy.”
