Trash of the Count’s Family Chapter 567

“Min Ah, should we go down?”
Kim Min Ah who heard Bae Puh Rum’s question was staring at Cale with a piercing gaze before she responded.
“Of course we are going down, how can we not?”
Bae Puh Rum nodded his head while looking south with a concerned gaze.
“Damn it. I hate snakes.”“…The problem is that it is a snake-headed human.”“Exactly.”
This monster that had the head of a snake but the body of a giant that could be seen in mythologies was approaching them.
Kim Min Ah looked at the other monster next to it while calmly speaking.
“…And the other has a head of a bird but the body of a snake.”
The two monsters were slowly approaching. They seemed to be enjoying a nice walk.
Bae Puh Rum pulled at his hair as he continued to speak.
“…What the hell do they want? Why did these monsters appear?”“It just means it’s a terrible crisis.”“Exactly! I’m scared of reptiles…”“But isn’t it doable since they’re both just half and half?”“…Min Ah.”
Kim Min Ah looked away from Bae Puh Rum who sounded as if he wanted to cry.
She knew Bae Puh Rum was a punk who acted this way on purpose.
“Anyway, let’s go do-”
Kim Min Ah flinched as she was about to say that they should go down.
“What’s taking you so long?”
Cale was gently stepping on the ledge and walked onto the roof.
Swoooooooosh-
A light breeze was surrounding him like a whirlwind.
“Are you not coming down?”
Cale sounded as if he was saying they were walking to the convenience store just outside or something.
Park Jin Tae walked forward at that moment.
“Hey, Kim Rok Soo!”
Cale turned toward Park Jin Tae.
“I want to go next.”“…I guess you’re getting antsy?”“Yeah.”
Park Jin Tae had his gun in his hand and looked extremely heated to fight.
“No.”“What?”
However, Cale sternly shook his head.
“This monster matches well with the Kim Min Ah-Bae Puh Rum pairing.”“…Them?”
Park Jin Tae started to frown.
“How can these children be useful? It’s better for me to go first.”
Cale reinterpreted Park Jin Tae’s words.
“Are you saying children should stay back because it is dangerous while adults like you should fight, Mr. Park Jin Tae?”“…What are you talking about?’
Park Jin Tae instantly started to frown and looked away from Cale.
Park Jin Tae then heard Kim Min Ah’s voice.
“Hey mister, I’m stronger than you.”“What?”
Park Jin Tae looked toward Kim Min Ah.
Kim Min Ah took out a hair tie and tied her straight hair into a ponytail as she continued to speak.
“I saw you fighting earlier, mister. I’m better than you.”
Bae Puh Rum scratched his head and walked in between Park Jin Tae and Kim Min Ah.
“Ahem, umm, hyung-nim? Min Ah, Min Joon-hyung, and I have survived with just the three of us. That should be all I need to say, right?”
Park Jin Tae started to smile after seeing Bae Puh Rum speak awkwardly but confidently.
“You pretended to be a fool on purpose.”
Bae Puh Rum awkwardly smiled in response. Kim Min Ah smacked Bae Puh Rum’s back.

“Let’s go down.”“You’re going down together.”
Kim Min Ah looked to one side.
Choi Han had put his hand on the decently healed Kim Min Joon’s shoulder.
“I took care of the urgent parts. We can check on him later to make sure.”
Grandma Kim removed her hand from Kim Min Joon’s injury with a tired face.
Kim Min Ah’s eyes opened wide.
The infected wound that had been covered in pus and blood still had left a scar, but it looked much better.
Her healing ability was shocking.
This was the reason Park Jin Tae and the others all listened to Grandma Kim even as they expanded their level of influence in the central shelter.
“Thank you, grandma.”“No need to thank me.”
Grandma Kim shook her head at Cale and reached her hand out toward him.
“I’m okay.”
Cale took a step back.
“…You too-”“It’s just a bruise.”“On the corner of your mouth-”“That is an internal injury.”“……Okay.”
Cale nonchalantly wiped away the dried blood by his mouth.
Grandma Kim looked at him with a concerned expression before stepping back.
“Grandma.”“Thank you, Jin Joo. Seung Won.”
Lee Jin Joo and Lee Seung Won helped to support Grandma Kim.
Cale approached the siblings.
“Hey, Seung Won.”“Huh?”“You come down too.”“Me?”“Yeah.”
Cale then looked toward Kim Min Joon.
“Mr. Kim Min Joon?”“…Yes?”
He had heard about most of the situation while Bae Puh Rum carried him over. He had seen Kim Rok Soo take care of two Grade 1 monsters in less than thirty minutes while he was being healed.
“You’re able to use your ability, correct?”
Bae Puh Rum stepped forward after hearing Cale’s question.
“Excuse me. Hyung-nim should probably-”
But Kim Min Ah grabbed his arm. Bae Puh Rum could see the cold look in Kim Min Ah’s face.
She calmly started to speak.
“Oppa’s ability is not related to the injury at all. Also…”
She looked around the roof.
She could see the two approaching monsters and everybody looking at them.
“I don’t think it makes sense to try to get some rest in this situation.”
Kim Min Ah and Kim Min Joon made eye contact.
Kim Min Joon started to speak.
“That’s right. It’s an urgent situation.”
Park Jin Tae looked toward Kim Min Joon.
‘A military uniform.’
Although the clothes were a mess, he could tell it was a uniform. Even his shoes were military boots.
Kim Min Joon reached his hand out toward Choi Han.
Kim Min Joon had seen Choi Han’s sword art that had destroyed the Grade 3 monsters while on the other building with Kim Min Ah and Bae Puh Rum.
“Can you please help me?”“Of course.”
Choi Han put Kim Min Joon on his back.
Cale looked toward Kim Min Joon and Lee Seung Won while starting to speak.
“Mr. Kim Min Joon and Mr. Lee Seung Won will move together during this battle.”
Cale continued to speak as Kim Min Joon looked toward Lee Seung Won.
“Lee Seung Won’s ability is recording…”
Kim Min Joon’s eyes clouded over at that moment.
“…And Mr. Kim Min Joon’s ability is message.”
Cale pointed to his neck.
“Voice delivery.”
Lee Seung Won and Lee Jin Joo looked toward Kim Min Joon.

Cale quietly watched the three people looking at each other before turning around.
Boom!
The snake-headed giant’s club struck down on the ground.
The two monsters that were slowly approaching had gotten close.
The two monsters stepped on the burnt corpses of the monsters from earlier.
Crack.
The corpses of the two monsters they had feared until now crumbled and turned into ashes.
People gulped while watching that before looking toward Cale.
Cale then patted someone’s shoulder as he walked back to the ledge.
“Please come down and wait with Lee Chul Min. You are up next.”
Swoooooooosh-
He then headed down while being surrounded by the wind once again.
Bae Puh Rum followed behind him while carrying Kim Min Ah.
“…Lee Chul Min!”“Yes, leader-nim!”“Follow me!”
Lee Chul Min hesitated after hearing Park Jin Tae’s order but followed behind him as if he had no choice.
Of course, Choi Han, Kim Min Joon, and Lee Seung Won were already going down the stairs.
Cale, Bae Puh Rum, and Kim Min Ah were already on the ground.
Gulp.
Bae Puh Rum became tense as soon as he saw the snake-headed monster and the snake-bodied monster getting closer.
‘They really are different.’
Unlike when he faced off against other monsters, just looking at these monsters made him fearful.
‘Can I win against that?’
Bae Puh Rum quickly started to think. He then looked toward Cale.
‘Mm!’
He made eye contact with Cale who was looking at him.
Pfft.
Cale chuckled while looking at Bae Puh Rum.
Cale was having this thought while looking at Bae Puh Rum.
‘It’s interesting seeing him this naive too.’
Bae Puh Rum.
He was a government worker in the newly created Korean Seoul Central Shelter ‘Ga’ Precinct.
Cale recalled what Kim Min Ah had told him in the past.
‘Bae Puh Rum? He’s on paternity leave right now.’
Unlike the past where mayors and aldermen were elected, a new system of government officials was created after the cataclysms with the central shelters at the core.
Each precinct appointed a leader who was in charge of the administration.
Each leader of the central shelter was called the ‘Precinct Leader.’
“Umm, what do you want me to do?”
Cale put his hand on Bae Puh Rum who was cautiously asking him a question.
‘They said he’d be at the Precinct Leader level in ten years.’
Cale remembered that Bae Puh Rum was in charge of the Seoul Central Shelter ‘Ga’ Precinct’s region defense as a section chief.
“…Something about bringing in the wind.”“Excuse me?”
People had said that Bae Puh Rum controlled the wind as he moved.
“Bae Puh Rum.”“Yes?”“You use the wind to fly in the sky, right?”
Bae Puh Rum flinched at Cale’s question before awkwardly responding.
“Yes?”“Have you not thought about using the wind in a different way?”“I did, but it didn’t work too well. Haha.”
Pat. Pat.
Cale patted Bae Puh Rum’s shoulder.
“Then watch what I do and try to do the same thing.”“Excuse me?”
Bae Puh Rum asked back, but Cale didn’t pay him any attention.
Instead, he turned toward Kim Min Ah.
Kim Min Ah was observing the Grade 1 monsters with a sharp gaze. She seemed to be inspecting them.
Cale stood next to her as he started to speak.
“Use your ability to its maximum level.”
Kim Min Ah’s shoulders started to shake.
She was still looking at the monsters as she started to speak.
“…But I can’t control it.”
The corners of Cale’s lips started to go up.
Kim Min Ah could not control her ability at this time.
She didn’t know how to use it properly either.
That was why she could not fend off a single monster properly.
There was a requirement to be in charge of an attack team in the vanguard at the company where Kim Rok Soo was a team leader.
A Grade 1 Ability user specialized in attacking.
Kim Min Ah easily met that requirement.
Cale quietly continued to speak to her.
“I will control it for you.”
Kim Min Ah looked toward Cale.
Cale looked into her shaking pupils and continued to speak.
“All you need to do is use your ability as much as you want.”
Her shaking pupils calmed down.
Kim Min Ah quietly nodded her head.
“I’ll give it a try.”
It was at that moment.
“W, what?”
Lee Chul Min’s eyes opened wide as he was about to walk out of the building through a window on the second floor.
He was looking at Kim Min Ah.
Boom!
The ground shook at that moment.
It was not because of the monsters’ footsteps.
A huge half-transparent spear had struck down on the ground.
There was a person holding onto that spear.
It was Kim Min Ah.
She was easily grabbing this spear that was three-times her height.
“Who is she?”
Lee Chul Min gasped in astonishment.
However, he couldn’t say anything after seeing what happened next.
All he could do was stand there with his jaw dropped.
“…Crazy bastard.”
Park Jin Tae couldn’t help but swear.
Kim Min Ah looked to her side.
Her pupils started to shake.
“Just-”
Kim Min Ah couldn’t help but ask.
“Just who are you?”
She could see Cale in front of her.
Boom!
Another large spear struck down on the ground and caused the dust to rise.
Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-
Water was swirling to create a large spear.
The spear was pointing its sharp blade toward the sky as if it was going to pierce the sky.
A portion of the Sky Eating Water’s power was being activated in Cale’s hand.
‘It really is weak.’
Cale could once again feel that only a portion of the ancient powers had been absorbed by his soul.
But he was not disappointed that it was weaker than usual.
The method the ancient powers gave him to make them stronger…
‘Gobble up our existences. Each time one of these voices disappears… You’ll become stronger.’
Cale had rejected that method.
That was why he could feel the wills of the owners of the ancient powers and he could always be with them.
‘I’m sure they’ll throw a fit when I go back.’
Cale thought about how the Super Rock and the other owners of the ancient powers would be concerned about him once he returned to his original world.
Pfft.
Cale chuckled as he grabbed the spear.
Chhhhhhh-
The water covered his hand and then pointed at the enemies instead of the sky.
Kim Min Ah was blankly staring at him.
She made eye contact with Cale at that moment.
“Follow me.”
Cale kicked off the ground and said one more thing.
“This is attribute tutoring, so watch carefully and do what I do.”
This was the second lesson.

A Virtual Invasion
An invasion from another dimension is shut down by an Empire's traitor and the world has a scant few decades to build the strength to resist a multidimensional Empire. How will the world fair when no one even knows its doom is one barred gate away? Fortunately, the traitor has a plan. Maybe with a bit of luck and planning, he can build a force to defend the world without anyone realizing it. Author's Thoughts: What is litRPG (From wikipedia) - LitRPG, short for Literary Role Playing Game, is a literary genre combining the conventions of MMORPGs with science-fiction fantasy novels.[1] LitRPG is a literary genre where games or game-like challenges form an essential part of the story. A LitRPG work simultaneously narrates the story of characters inside and outside of the game-world. At least some of the characters in a LitRPG novel therefore understand that they are playing a game: they are 'meta-aware'. So, while Tolkien's Lord of the Rings is a fantasy novel, a book about people creating avatars and interacting in a Lord of the Rings MMORPG would be a LitRPG novel.Why do I read them? You know, I am not too sure. I love MMOs. I played them, quit them, joined up and repeated the cycle. They are fun! They are a massive waste of time but so are most games. Do I want to read about someone else playing them? Sort of?The advent of VR and the possibility of VR someday becoming so immersive that you can't tell them from reality sets the imagination on fire. What if this could be life? But most stories fall short. At the end of the day the protagonist hangs up his VR helmet and goes to have dinner with his mom and dad or other family and it becomes meaningless. It's like the story that ends because the main character woke up and nothing you read matters.There have been some books that explore the concept of the intersection of reality and total immersion VR. Enders Game is a classic. There were a few others that escape me but they exist, however, the cross between the game and reality is weak.So what if the game was real? The technology needed for total immersion VR is so advanced that by the time we reach that goal technology should have naturally evolved to include several items. You must have direct neural input. You simply can't have a total immersion (all senses and perfect presence) experience without this basic prerequisite. If you have direct neural access, you can probably do neat things like feed knowledge and skills directly to that person. You can undoubtedly do many horrible things as well. Muscles are controlled by the brain. If you control the brain why would you let the body just sit there and rot? A person that sits unmoving for 24 hours a day will have their body whither away just like a coma patient. However, if you control the brain you could control the muscles. On a basic level, this would be isometric impulses, working muscle group against muscle group to avoid atrophy. Taken to its logical conclusion you would be able to gain muscle mass and program muscle memory. The flip side is that you could remote control their body... but let's not go there. So what would people do if it were real? Well, they would probably limit and regulate it since the drawbacks are very obvious. Even if you look at the basic aspects of this you can see some negative possibilities. Look at the Sword Art Online anime. Personally, I think they missed the boat by putting a bomb in the VR helmet. Do you really need a bomb when you have direct access to the brain?So what kind of events would you need to have a situation where the obvious drawbacks haven't been explored? Maybe a society where the advancement of technology has so far outstripped the explorations of its applications that ignorance was truly bliss? Okay, so I had to put in an alien invasion to kickstart the premise, but that was just one of the possibilities.

Fortuna Verto
A girl’s luck changes when her world changes upon itself, sending her back and forth between a world she knows and another that shouldn’t even exist. Working with her parallel self from that other world, the two must adjust to their alternate form when visiting the other’s world, as they search for a way to escape the chains of misfortune they are bound to. While this story is the conclusion of the trilogy, it is also fully capable of standing alone in its own light, as the world of Celese itself is no longer a place the characters will be journeying through. However, the events of the story are a spoiler for all previous books, in case that matters to anyone. This book has an additional chapter after the final chapter that represents the trilogy conclusion, and should not be read until all three books are read first. Fortuna Verto continues the events of Essentia Animus to advance society into a sci-fi interpretation of Celese, bringing events to a distant world of another star. At the same time, events interpret a real-world advancement into a similar sci-fi age of another planet that shares Earth’s galaxy, a planet that has also been linked by the Celesi Veil. English remains predominant in both worlds of the story, but the presence of both sides makes certain Aethyx terms stand out, while Earth-styled scientific terms will also stand in a powerful contrast. Instrumentation remains an important aspect of the Elemental Era, but the influence of the gift has grown distant after discovering the superiority of the elements. Harnessing the elements had eliminated some of the original limitations of instrumentation, allowing for a self-sustaining focal source that provides solutions to problems such as automation. This turns the development available from the previous modern-day sense of a fantasy to one that is deep-future. Finally, opening access to the passage across the veil will open this progress in comparison to a very similar deep-future parallel world without such fantasy elements, contrasting the laws of physics with the laws of elements in a convergence of time and space.
