《Virtual Sword God! 》Chapter 172: Picking Beds
Advertisement
The sun was starting to set outside, meaning it was nearly the end of the day. It had taken the students almost the whole day just to travel by ship to then eventually walk all the way to the dorm building.
When they entered the building, the inside was nearly just as bad as the outside. Cobwebs in each corner, broken floorboards and even broken nails here and there sticking out.
"Well, I feel bad whoever paid to get into this university," Novis said.
Students who went through the selection process as well who were scouted by Titan university were able to attend for free. At the same time, those who chose to not do the trials, had to pay to even try to be on the Titan team. Although Lucas was able to afford such a thing, he no longer wanted to rely on his dad's help for such things.
And Novis, well he always had a plan B. The capsule was a nice gift from Tom. But if he couldn't get into Titan University, his plan was to sell it to pay for his University tuition fee. He didn't want to put the burden of his family paying for his University fees or be left with a huge loan to pay at the end of it.
All the students were gathered in a large hall which doubled up as the food hall. There were rows and rows of tables set out with dinner trays set out in front.
"What is this stuff?" Phil said as he looked at it. The dish seemed incredibly plain. There were chicken breasts with no sauce. Some asparagus on the side and plain white rice for their carbs. And for a drink, they had just water.
Although Novis didn't complain one bit and dug straight in, Chiken and rice were one of his favourite foods, and best of all he was getting it for free.

"Although it looks plain, it's the right amount of ratio for us," Lucas said. "It looks like they know what there doing. Even if it is packaged in an unappealing way."
After eating their food, the teachers Bune and Fix went to the front of the hall to make an announcement.
"Alright guys, its time for all of you to sleep for the night and get ready for the hard training happening tomorrow," Bune said. "We will be announcing your name with your room number, and I'm only going to say it once so pay attention."
After calling out everyone's room number, they realised that the group they had arrived with had been split. The same could be said for the other students as well. It seemed like the group they were with had no one they knew.
They could only guess that this had been done on purpose.
When going to each of their rooms. There were a set of 6 bunk beds which meant there was a total of 12 per room. Novis was one of the first to enter the room and decided to place his bag on top of one of the Bunks.
He liked being in high places and didn't feel comfortable with someone sleeping above him. Just then he noticed that there was a large window at the back. He looked out of the window and saw a large field that seemed to be shaped similar to the game design.
Only instead of a forest, this one had areas that marked where the woods would be. "Could this be one of those augmented feilds the teachers were talking about."
The curiosity got the better of Novis, and he decided to head outside and check it out. There were no rules about people coming in and out, but the teachers were just strict about coming to training in the morning on time.

They wanted the students to be able to enforce their own discipline. While everyone was getting ready and taking their things out in their room, Novis seemed to be the only one outside. The filed he was on was just behind the large building that they were staying in.
While looking at it, he noticed there were groves on the floor and although the area looked like dirt, from knocking and walking on top of it, he confirmed it was indeed metal. He tried to find a way to turn it on, but after trying everything he could think off, he eventually gave up.
"Oh well, while I'm out here I better get some training done."
Novis by now was used to working out around three times a day, and other than walking on the island they hadn't done much so Novis's body felt a little stiff. He started jogging around the arena, then doing his normal full-body workout routine.
Meanwhile, in the room that Novis was in, all his roommates had now arrived, and the last person to enter the room was a fairly large Muscular man named Blake. He had short spiky blonde hair and an attitude of a playboy. As soon as he walked in, everyone could feel the confidence shinning off him.
When looking around, Blake noticed that there was only one bunk left. However, when he went to look at the top bunk, there was a bag on top of it. "Huh, who left their crap here!" Blake shouted.
Everyone in the room had no clue who it belonged to but only assumed that they had placed their bag there claiming it.
"You can't just leave your crap on someone's bed," Blake said as he lifted the bag off the top bunk and chucked it onto the floor.
"Hey man, shouldn't you pick that up." Another student said.
"I suggest you mind your own business if you don't want a slap in the face," Blake replied.
The student went on to mind his own business. In their lives, they had met people like him, who were just aggressive from the start.
Just then, Novis had entered the room and could immediately see his bag on the floor.
"What the hell, who threw my bag on the floor." As he looked at his bunk bed, he could see Blake lying at the top.
"So you're the one who thinks they can claim crap by putting stuff on the bed."
Blake said as he climbed down from the bunk.
As the two were standing next to each other, the others could see Blake towering over Novis.
"What are you three years old man? If you wanted the top, you could have asked, and everyone knows if a bag on it it means someone already claimed it."
Blake clenched his fist and quickly threw it towards Novis's stomach. The blow was hard and caused the wind to be knocked out of him. Novis was now on both knees on the floor, trying to breathe in the air.
"You…did..not..just..do..that." Novis said, with his head full of anger.

Of Men and Dragons, Book 2
Jack, S'haar, and all their family are back. After crashing his ship on an underdeveloped world, Jack found friends and family among the terrifying cat-lizard natives of the world, but now mere survival is no longer enough. They must carve out a new home for themselves in the landscape of the now rapidly changing world. Raiders, politics, and even nature threaten their happiness and their lives while they struggle to deal with the nightmares and traumas of yesterday. They'll need to depend on each other more than ever if they hope for their new home to have any kind of future. In case you missed it, here's book one. ATTENTION: This is soft sci-fi rather than hard sci-fi, hence why I chose that tag. For those of you unfamiliar with the distinction, here's what Wikipedia had to say. 1. It explores the "soft" sciences, and especially the social sciences (for example, anthropology, sociology, or psychology), rather than engineering or the "hard" sciences (for example, physics, astronomy, or chemistry). 2. It is not scientifically accurate or plausible; the opposite of hard science fiction. Soft science fiction of either type is often more concerned with character and speculative societies, rather than speculative science or engineering. The term first appeared in the late 1970s and is attributed to Australian literary scholar Peter Nicholls.

New World to Experience
YGGDRASIL was ending, and Apoc was hoping to see the game as it ends. And fortunately, he did. But he was transported into a world that is back in the past, yet seemingly not the same world, and coincidentally in an island that was cut off from the mainlands. What should he do? Find a way back home? Or stay and change the flow of time? A little note here; this story is a bit rushed. Considered that it is old and I have little time to revise the story whole. But unless you dont mind it and decided to just read it for the sakes out of it, then be my guest... Not in a offending way obviously.
