《The Hidden Myth of Ji Dara 》Chapter 24: Jim’s Heaven

The red one read; Incapacitate, whilst the green one read; grant clearance…
"Grant Intruders three moth temporary access to secret elevator…"
Chu-Lom!
Temporary Access Granted…
Instantly, the three nerds saw their watches display;
'You Have Received Three Months Access To Secret Elevator' in their notification tab…
"You will take this secret elevator anytime we are having our meetings…"
"This is the level of secrecy and discretion I want you all to exhibit for the next three months till these projects are done…"
Sam added as the elevator ascended with an even faster speed than the VIP elevator he had used the last time…
Ding!
The elevator door opened and all they could see was a dark corridor, then;
Tan! Tan!
Tan! Tan!
Tan! Tan!
The lights within the corridor came on one after the other before they stopped in front of a huge door at the end of the corridor…
Sam took this place in...
It had never been unlocked before and would be his new home for the next [only God knows how long…]
"These walls, floor and ceiling are made out of gesture, pressure and temperature sensitive panels which will record data about you, and use that data about you to identify an intruder and alert you when someone else is walking through this corridor…"
"Lined along the edges of the ceiling are ultraviolet lights that kill the germs on you before you reach the end of the corridor, and these overhead lights can be changed to suit your preference; from this simple led, to halogen, to neon, and finally party lights…" Jim began his tour-guide duties as;
"There are also hidden cameras, and extremely dangerous, precise and sensitive security measures; ranging from laser beams, to lethal gases and chemical, extreme temperature regulators, and shock pins…"
"Shock pins?"
Sam asked as Tim and Kiki also looked to Jim for explanation which caused a smug grin to stain his face…
"Yeah… They are three inch pins which would have been charged with about 1000 volts and can be shot from any random angle within this corridor, and once they stab into their target, they sink into their flesh before releasing all that charge into their target's bodies, frying them from within…" Jim said proudly…

"Luckily, they have all been disabled until the resident of this floor takes control of it…"
"…and how am I gonna do that?"
"Follow me…"
Jim stepped forward and the moment his foot stepped into the corridor, each panel his foot touched lit up with a white light…
The remaining trio tagged along and just like Jim, their steps also caused the floor tiles to light up with white light…
On getting to the massive door, a system A.I spoke;
"Welcome, Voice Activation Required…"
"Hey Jim, it's me, Jim!"
Access Granted...
Tissshhh!
The massive door opened like the door of an alien ship; with the gases and the sound of a space ship engine which was about to take off…
"Welcome Jim!"
The lighting of this room ran from the entrance on the right across the walls of the room around to the left of the entrance, carrying everyone's gaze along with it as it lit up with magnificent colors that ensured that this place was neither bright nor dim…
"Woah!" The trio couldn't help but chorus in amazement;
"In here, there are 360 motion sensors and projection panels, making this room the third wonder of the world…"
"One which no one asides everyone within this room and anyone you wish to bring up here will know about…"
Jim continued with one hand pocketed in his jogger pocket and another holding a seemingly tiny pointing device…
Then he pressed a button and several panels began to pop out of different locations within the house, displaying the image of everyone present in extremely fine details…
Sam looked over to one of the panels which displayed only his own image and waved at it, as his mirror image waved back simultaneously with great details including his squint; then to his right, he could see the image of Tim and Kiki kissing themselves, and having fun with their mirror images doing the same thing…
Sam shook his head, genuinely impressed as he looked over to Jim and commented;

"Wow, this is magnificent…"
"Thanks, but I am over there…"
Jim pointed to the opposite direction and it was only then that Sam realized that he had just spoken to Jim's mirror image…
Jim simply smiled smugly as Sam also responded with a cool but slightly awkward smile…
"In here, anything is possible…"
Jim said as he clicked on the pointing device which converted into a tablet instantly as one side of the device detached from its frame and opened wide for about ten inches…
The moment that happened all the screen panels returned to their hub…
"There are also 30,000 ultra - high definition panels within this room…"
As Jim continued, he tapped on one part of the makeshift high tech tablet, and instantly, everyone heard a dragon's roar, followed by a huge shadow move past them, terrifying them to their bones, and even Sam himself felt a little shake, as the shadow of the dragon moved past them on the ground then crawled up the walls until it came to the roof and then coiled around the dangling decoration of a massive egg placed atop a giant nest like structure made out of natural hay, branches and leaves, making the dragon shadow seem like it was guarding the egg…
It was only then that everyone knew there was no dragon and what they had just seen was just the panels built into this entire room, displaying the image of a black colored dragon moving from one screen panel to the other…
"These panel also comes with embedded 16k cameras on both sides…"
"Both sides… Why's that?"
Sam asked but Jim simply gave him the answer by pressing a single button on the tablet and everyone's heart nearly leapt through their throat, Sam inclusive…
This time he was really scared out of his wits because; everything panel within the room simply displayed everything happening on the outside, from a vantage point of over 118 floors off the ground…
Sam looked beneath his foot and he was literally not only looking at the roofs of other skyscrapers that had the 'H' sign of an helipad on them, but was also seeing the traffic down within the streets, as well as the people moving about and the several stalls and restaurants within the streets…
"Welcome to Jim's Heaven, Super Sam…" Jim said proudly;
"You can be within the streets without leaving your room… You can check out the latest magazine at that coffee shop without leaving your room…"
Jim made the statement and backed it up by pressing a button on the tablet that zoomed the entire display above the head of a bald man drinking his coffee and reading the latest magazine with one leg crossed over the other and his black suede long coat…
Everyone could easily read what the man was reading and Sam had to clutch his chest slightly, due to the speed at which the display was zoomed…
After walking them through the remaining parts of the apartment which included a swimming pool that could be converted to an outdoor swimming pool by simply ejecting itself out of the firm's building, there was also the kitchen which also had several panels which was linked to all the motion sensors, within the apartment, displaying the footage of any part of the apartment that anything moved…
That way, a mother could cook comfortably in the kitchen knowing what her sixteen children are doing in sixteen different part of the apartment…
There were also automated cleaning devices; which ranged from a simple automatic vacuum cleaner, to mud cleaner, dryers for wet floors and the top notch insect killing air freshener…
The was a giant 300 inch TV which drops down from the roof, as well as in built surround sound system which gives fantastic listening experience from every single angle of the room to a factor of .005 degrees…
It has an inbuilt garden, basketball court, gym, trampoline and an aquarium where several little unique and endangered species of fishes were swimming around…
There was a yoga room with aroma therapy candles arranged in specific and intentional manner...

New Game (Reborn as a Reluctant Demon Lord, Book 1)
Portal Fantasy. Isekai. A daydream of nerds everywhere, leaving behind their boring world and living in a fantasy one that is full of adventure. A daydream that became a reality for me and 1000 other Comic-Con attendees. Except for me, it was more of a nightmare. Wanting nothing more than to find a way home, and also saddled with being the world's new [Demon Lord], I found myself trapped in a gamelike world and also somehow a part of the [Hero's] party. So join me as I tell the tale of my struggles. A tale of levels and skills. A tale of cagey game admins and bugs. And a tale of our party's grand quest to defeat... Well... Me. ---- What to expect from this book? 1. A main character who is not overpowered (and instead has to go from near-useless to strong. Not just weak to strong). If you are looking for an OP [Demon Lord] who laughs at his weakling enemies... This isn't for you. 2. A meandering pace as the characters aren't told how a lot of the world works and have to figure it out themselves. (And because there are a lot of characters. Whose idea was it to have a party of 9? I blame Jake) 3. A tragedy. A lot of things are not going to go well for the protagonist. (Not that everything is tragedy all the time. There is humor, laughter, friendship, and even a mascot monster character who got way more popular than I expected. But this is not a story that will leave you uplifted and inspired after every time you read it). ---- Release Schedule and publishing information: Book 1 is complete! I will include a link to book 2 once it has been started. Feel free to give feedback, positive or negative. ---- Other notes Book 1? Yes, this says Book 1. There are probably going to be 3 books. No, the plot as you can guess is not going to be tortured to drag out all the way to book 3. That would be ridiculous. If you can guess the plot of books 2 or 3 at any point before the last chapter of book 1, please use your clairvoyant powers for something more productive. TitusGM? This story is intentionally told under the username TitusGM because the idea is that he was the one actually writing everything down what happened after it all is over. I initially planned to answer everything in character on this site, but that just really didn't work out. If you want an in character response to a comment, simply prefix it with IC: (I also try to leave that as a reminder in the author's note after each new chapter) Cover art?

Into The Fray
In a war-ridden world where metaphysical powers are the norm, Alma Gustafsson, a defect with no abilities whatsoever, stood at the top of it. An elite captain with a tactical mind, capable of fighting the invading forces with utmost efficiency and discipline, amplified by an immeasurable amount of sheer dedication. This mission was supposed to be a standard one. Get behind enemy lines, kill the metal puppets, destroy the flying fortress, escape with body and life intact. To be the first one to stare at the eyes of their true enemy was surprising enough, and dying was already a sharp reminder of what she is: A defect that has no place in the battlefield. But somehow, meeting an old man in the middle of the forest was more important to her than the events that transpired. “Your grit is one of a kind, girly. I need that.” Said the old man, giving her a chance to go back out there and fight once more. It was a stupid offer, making her choose between eternal happiness of heaven and the meaningless fighting that she has done all those years. However, she never took herself as a smart person. And as she embarks on a journey to protect her world, she will find herself at a crossroad that will determine the fate of the universe...

Corpse Crawler
Ludwig Lock wakes up in a hospital bed to find a weeping woman at his side. After some crying, more weaping and confusion, Ludwig discovers that that lady was his ten year old sister, and that he's been in a coma for fifteen years. He also learns that the world he had grown to know was no more since heroes, villains, and super powers inhabit the streets, being regarded as a lot of things withing an endless spectrum. Just when he was about to finally get started with his new life, Ludwig faced a streak of bad luck, the last event of this chain setting him up to die so a vigilante can save himself. After suffering the worst beating of his life and experimenting the incompetence of the law, Ludwig decides to use his own hands to achieve justice. He will face difficult challenges, traumatic situations, and probably horrible stuff to get his life rolling. But at least he's got a friend to help him. Not a normal one though. ---- IMPORTANT: I personally identify powers as a fantastical element, which is why I don't find weird the addition of other elements of the same vein if it stays within the logic of the world. New and old chapters get updated with relative frequency, (new chapter every week, though it may be delayed a day or more to problems or some other reason) and the story is in a draft-like state, meaning it will probably stay the same but there will be changes on the prose or writing. Also, I would apreciate if it is known to me (Respectfully) which points should I improve on.
