《I'm the King Of Technology 》Chapter 1190: Man Vs. System

(°_°)
Blink. Blink.
Landon blinked excessively in a daze when he heard the system's alert.
Hello?
Were there witches in this world?
This... This wasn't what the system had told him from the beginning, alright?
'System, what the hell is going on here?'
'Host, Please don't ever doubt this Almighty System! They are just a group of people who believe themselves to be witches, just like how those from Adonis believe in having the power to confuse their event during battle with their Holy Thamans! Host, you hurt this one real deep by doubting me, you know?'
(-_-)
Sure, sure, sure... Whatever you say. Landon thought while rolling his eyes heavenwards.
Now was a time to get serious, and this system still had to push its ego out to remind him that it was an Almighty one.
Like who asked you for confirmation?
It was a simple question.
Were there witches around? Yes or no.
He knew there were seers, so it wasn't a long stretch for him to find out if witches truly existed.
Thus, he didn't know what the system was getting worked up here for.
.
'Host! Even though there are no witches, I have to alert the host that in Morgany, there is a dangerous man, who is now the last Eye-Gartva in the world!'
Eye-Gartva?
Landon frowned curiously while driving away towards district G hastily.
Of course, he was already on his way to meet these Witches.
But while heading over, his mind couldn't help wondering about the system's words.
What the hell was an eye-switcher?
'Host! An eye-Gartva or an Eye-witcher is a person who has received the 'changing eye' gift. But to understand this well, the host needs to know a few key things. Each world, be it the host's old world or even this new world, does have a few gifted people that passed on their traditions for generations to generations. Back on the host's previous planet, there were indeed Voodoo masters that existed in the world, even though the mass population didn't believe in them. Yes. At some point in your world's history, the heavens had blessed one a few people with the gift. Likewise, in this world, some received heavenly blessings too... But voodoo/sorcery wasn't something accepted to be given to humans here!'
Landon listened and nodded silently.
From what he knew, even though a gathering of gods and goddesses made decisions for this specific galaxy and universe, each individual God/Goddess also diligently what he's over their own planets or solar systems that they created.

At least that's what he had long concluded over the years.
Again, he believed that the God that created this world was actually a little goddess. And she probably governed thousands of other planets around too.
He had a hunch that these groups of Gods/goddesses overlooking their specific universe, galaxy, milky way and whatnot... drowned upon voodoo/sorcery and worked their own into gifting humans with other gifts.
.
'Host. Back to the matter with the Eye-witcher, it has less to do with actual Witchcraft but more on the individual's eyes... Host. Centuries and millennium ago in Morgany, when there wasn't thos great divide that existed now, humans in Morgany were still facing dangers from the creatures there. And their population wasn't that great as well. In short, other places in the world were also facing great calamities as well. Thus, the gods decided to bless brave people in each continent with a few heavenly gifts. Some gifts were meant to go extinct with time, while others were meant to last forever. All in all, the only region blessed with this evaluating gift were the Zalipnians of Romain.'
Landon's eyes lit up when he heard this. He thought as much.
Tsk! They indeed deserved it. These people were more faithful and loyal than any other people he had ever met in this world.
And they were a peaceful bunch too.
Of course, they dared not cause too much trouble or turn too greedy because of the Gods/Goddesses.
Hey. Who knew what punishment they would face?
.
'System, what about the other gifts?'
'Host! I thought you would never ask! You see, as for the gifts that were getting extinct, after each generation, the power passed on would be less and less until it dwindled down. It is also the case with the powers the system gave the host's family. From generation to generation, it will dwindle. And the host estimates that by the 15th century, it should all be over for the host's generation of children.'
Landon raised one eyebrow curiously: 'So what about the chosen monarchs? Their lineages were long since blessed, right?'
'Hehehehhehe! Host, you are indeed my host. You are right. Most surprisingly came from blessed lineages, like the newly appointed Monarch Astar of Terique with supernatural strength. From the system's analysis, after 3 generations, the blessing should be over and done with. Your friend Queen Penelope, is blessed with sword and battle adaptability. Monarch William is blessed with perseverance; Monarch's Sirius, Henry and the rest also have their own gifts too. Even the blue-skinned crown prince in Zohl was blessed with the gift of nature, with animals and flowers taking a liking to him. But soon, their blessings will all come to an end after 2 or so generations. That said, there are a few ungifted chosen Monarchs who the host has yet to put on the throne in various regions.'

...
Listening to the system, Landon thought as much. After all, if the system hadn't blessed him himself and the others, he would've long been overpowered by Astar's raw herculean strength.
Hey. Even a fool can see that he was born extraordinarily, apart from his deceased Grandfather.
It looked like the gift directly skipped Micheal's generations and went to his child.
Maybe the gift felt weirded out by Micheal.
Hey! With Micheal's training maniac attitude, as well as the fact that he always asked Carmelo for fights whenever they met, it was clear he would've probably been one of those people travelling far and wide for opponents if he became that strong.
Even now, Micheal constantly hounded Landon to fight him whenever they met. And with Micheal, Landon felt very confused about what to do.
If he lost, Micheal would have viewed it and would still clamour for a fight. And if he won, Micheal would get pumped up and... you guessed it, still ask for another fight.
God!... What the hell was wrong with that man?
.
Okay. Back to the matter of the eye-witcher, Landon couldn't help remembering the system's words.
'System, so when you mean the last Eye-witcher, you're saying that this guy is the last of generations of Eye-witchers, right?'
'Yes, host...Isn't that obvious enough? Ease keep up with this system.'
'_'
The system once again threw off Landon.
Hello? They seemed to be having a friendly flowing conversation, so how did it change all of a sudden?
Tsk! As expected. This black-belly system can't go on for long without ticking him off!
Cough. Cough.~
Landon looked before turning serious again.
'System, you still haven't fully explained what an Eye-Whitcher is.'
'Sigh... Host. Can't you use your imagination and think it through yourself?'
'No! Be specific!'
'Fine! For the sake of our friendship, this system wouldn't mind breaking things onto A, B and C's for the host. But do try to keep up, okay host?'
Landon's mouth twitched angrily while listening to the system.
'An eye-witcher. A person with this gift can see things through the eyes of nearby birds. Back in the ancient days when the gift was first given, an Eye-witcher could spot a bird flying high, far above the sky and connect with its eyes, seeing what it saw from that height. One could also control the bird to go in the direction they eased for days nonstop. That was all in the olden times. Now, with the last Eye-witcher, he would need to touch the bird and send it flying to see what it saw. And then he will only be able to connect with the bird for at most an hour and a half before feeling his entire energy drain, making him eventually disconnect with the bird.'
...
Landon was taken aback by such a gift.
Do you know how powerful that is during times of war?
No wonder Morgany could remain up the ladder for so many years. In each generation, it doesn't have to be just one person that recovers the gift.
Sometimes within one generation, 6 or more people received it.
So over the millenniums and centuries, who could say that Morgany hadn't used countless Eye-Witchers to root themselves in this world firmly?
From conducting the seas to oppressing countless regions, they might've long taken advantage of this.
Without a doubt, this Eye-Witcher would be a big stumbling block for him when they finally faced Morgany.
'System, in Morgany and other continents, even though the gifts will soon fade within the next generations or ao... at present, just as you said, there should be other gifted people around too. And I will face some of them, right?'
'Yes, host.'
'Then why didn't you say so earlier?'
'... Host. Blame me for overestimating you. I thought you would've realized it ages ago. Sigh... Yes. Yes. Yes. It's my fault, host. You are a good host.'
'_'
System, I suspect you're treating me like a dog!
.
Lando felt like going crazy. He had a hunch a long time ago. But was it wrong to confirm things?
F***!
He was so pissed right now that he was ready to deal with those Witches fiercely.
Why was this system hell-bent on annoying him to death?
What did he ever do to it?

The Dungeon Hive
One thing I noticed about most dungeon stories is that most races mistakenly believe that dungeons have a hive-mind and I go, “That make sense.” Considering the various powers and how big dungeons can get, wouldn’t it make more sense for them to have a hive-mind? So this is it; my take of the world’s first dungeon and the hive that controls it. Watch as it stumbles, fall, survive, strive and…procreate? Watch as it changed the world of Ioplon…for better and for worse. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For edited version of the story, the full trilogy (Book_1: Fantasy Begins, Book_2: Dungeon Flames, Book_3: Spread of the Dungeons) are now available on Amazon. Please take a look, and leave a rating. Thanks

Fade
The story follows the life of John Grimshaw. From tragic beginnings to hopeful ends, John embarks on a quest for meaning. When visiting the cemetery he meets a girl named Jennifer Stone, a youthful teenager who quickly becomes a safety raft for John in turbulent times. But nothing could have prepared John for when he met the man in the pinstripe suit. The man with bright eyes, dark skin, and gleaming white teeth. The man claiming to the impossible and break the thin ice below John's feet entirely. (ADDITIONAL DISCLAIMER) This story starts off relatively dark. Those who dislike subject material surrounding loss, depression, grief, should probably not read. With that said, the story evolves into a supernatural thriller past the initial chapters. It’s a comparably low fantasy for a website like this but hope some of you still enjoy it.

The Eternal Vigil
The year is 2220, a time when governments and nation-states are slowly becoming a thing of the past. Instead, all prominent parts of human society are now organizing around the commands of three great Artificial Intelligences, owned and operated by the world's largest corporation. World peace has been achieved, and the very word 'politics' has disappeared from people's lips. Religion has largely disappeared, replaced in some parts by worshipping of the great AIs, but mostly substituted by a devotion to material goods and faith in the market. There is now a general consensus that the best form of government has been found. No, it is not democracy, nor is it autocracy or oligarchy. Instead, it is technocracy - rule by the learned, the intelligent, and the skilled. And who are more learned, intelligent, and skilled than the great AIs? Exactly, no one. The AIs will correct some market failures once in a while, but shall otherwise let the market be free. After all, the freer the market, the freer the people. Some may question how society advanced to this stage, but that is all they will do - question. Because they will not find answers, for history is no longer taught anywhere. After all, it is not a practical subject. One cannot get a decently paying job with a history degree. Society doesn't have any time for people to idly ponder about the past. No, this is a practical society of practical people: engineers, doctors, lawyers, developers, managers, bankers, soldiers, and the such. My name is Aiden Scivit and I used to be one such practical man: minding my own business, doing my job, with the faith that hard work will always be rewarded by the market...and that politics and philosophy were things thought of by idly people who leech off society. But this all changed, and here is my story, my history. Just because the stories of ages long past have been erased, does not mean that a brand new beginning cannot be created. The story is already finished but I still need to do some editing so a chapter should be released each day for a month. It is a bit political, as you can probably tell by the introduction, so there is that (it will low-key read like a philosophy dump 10% of the time, so really it's like Atlas Shrugged but liberal and worse lol). Also, I actually wrote this in grade 10 as part of my MYP Personal Project, and recently touched up on it for online publication. Finally, if you find the writing style passable and are interested in my other works, check out the one in the link below. It is a fantasy set in the Ancient Greek world, and is completed and uploaded in full: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/35099/the-oresteia-modernized
