What The Luck!? Chapter 64

"Now show me where that book is." Art managed to hop up without injury. The only damage was to his now unruly hair. The look was similar to a mad scientist, but Art didn't seem to care too much at all.
"What book?" Asher's flat response made Art's mood drop.
"The one on powers that control specific metals…"
"Oh that one. No idea, I put it away randomly so that you could only find it after you finished your journal entry. I might remember where I put it, I might not."
"Not cool bro, not cool" Art returned to his seat dejected. His pen slowly wrote each letter while grumbling about Asher being mean and not at all a bro.
"Find anything on a power like mine?" Jane had decided to take a break from her math after Art's loud show of falling from his chair.
"Yes, there are actually, a bunch of volumes on powers similar to Greek mythology. This one about Hercules mentions an encounter with medusa. I have no idea if it will help but maybe there is something useful." Jane looked up at the book he was pointing to on a shelf above her head.
The green hardcover book was barely out of reach as she tried to stand and stretch to her tippy toes. "Come onnnn just get In My Han-" Her annoyed words came to a sudden stop and she slipped forward.
Asher had initially expected this to happen and was already prepared for the possibility of a fall. His hands reached out and cradled Jane in them while the green hardcover book bounced off his own head.
"Are you alright?" His no flinching attitude after the book bounce off of him made Jane swoon. She couldn't find any words for the situation and just tried to steady herself again. She tried to bend down and pick up the book but Asher's hand snagged it before she did. "Here's the book I was talking about. Try to be careful, I would hate to see you fall."

'I was so cool there. That was the perfect move. I'm so glad dad watched so many old school movies.' While Asher complimented himself on how smooth he had just been there were different thoughts flowing through Jane's mind.
'I want to fall again. Catch me a thousand times!' Naturally Asher's smooth cliche had worked and all thanks to a high bookshelf and a little focus. If he hadn't noticed the possibility of this happening then it could have been a disaster with a trip to the nurses office. '
'I definitely have a bruise forming but it was totally worth it." While he feigned scratching his head he rubbed his sore head hoping that no one would be able to tell that he had a large bump growing.
"You two are so gross, get a room." Art's general response made Asher and Jane respond with equal taunts about him getting to work on his home work. However before they could really get in to their usual skit the bell rang calling them to the last class of the day.
Asher rushed to check out two books on probability and fortune telling while Jane rushed ahead to her own class. Naturally Art was as excited as ever to escape the journal entry that he had been working on. If he had taken even another five minutes he could have been done with it.
With his eyes on room 777 Asher prepared to fight through the incense smoke that was sure to be filling the room when he opened the door. 'Hold your breath and it will all be fine.' He took a deep breath and pushed the door open, however instead of seeing and hearing a disturbed Lin, he found a perfectly clear classroom that already smelled like incense.

"Looks like you expected much worse." Line casually walked up behind Asher who was looking for the usual smoke. "I got a water based vaporizer. The same smell that the incense has is dissolved in an herbal mix for the vaporizer. Then it smells up the room just the same without all of the smoke. Much better for us, and safer!" As she spoke she gave a look at madame Weaver who did not even flinch.
Madam Weaver was sitting at her desk looking deeply in to the crystal ball which was dancing with lights from the clear window. Since the window was normally obscured by incense smoke this was a rare occasion. The lights were showing her many different auras that reflected in from the outside. They were captivating.
"See anything we should take note of?" Asher knew that he could be inviting trouble if he was going to ask this, but he wanted to try and learn something new instead of just hanging out and meditating on his power.
"I see many things as a child. The strongest right now is the looking fog coming in tomorrow. Many will be lost to their own minds and full of stress." Her words seemed ominous but Lin quickly interjected.
"Well with the senior quarterly academic tests starting tomorrow it would only make sense." Madam Weaver looked deflated after Lin explained it that way.
"Lin, you really need to take an acting class so you can understand when a little extra something is needed." This was the polite way for her to say that Lin had just ruined the atmosphere. "Asher, you look like you are hungry, what has gotten you so motivated? Your aura is bright and spreading out much more than usual."
"Well, I'm not sure about my aura spreading out but I did have class in the library today. I started reading books on super powers so i can remember what they do and possible weaknesses. If I am going to be a hero, I can't rely on tools to do all the work for me."
"Really, you went to the library? What shelf did you start on? What is the book name you started to read? If I have read it I can pass you my notes!" Lin became very excited. Asher seemed to have found the thing she loved most.

The Rocky Shore
This is a LitRPG series. Every story you read here takes place in the same virtual world, with the same rules and limitations. Characters will travel, explore vast and dangerous realms, overcome obstacles, meet one another, enter into conflicts with one another, forge alliances, make horrible mistakes, and occasionally just die. A technological singularity has been achieved, and humanity has been trapped in a virtual world by a super-intelligent, self-improving artificial intelligence. This program is not malicious at all. In fact, it desires nothing except the happiness and fulfillment of every human it has copied into itself. If its decisions seem strange to you, that's only because its reasoning is far beyond ours. It recognizes that humans cannot be happy without enemies to overcome and goals to achieve, as well as the possibility of failure and death. The world it has created may be heaven or hell, depending on the free choices of the people it contains. The non-player characters who live in this realm have no idea that they are part of a vast computer system. They seem real enough, but there is no way to tell if they are truly self-aware. Even the system that created them isn't certain. This is world in which all the things that humans are used to dealing with in the abstract: skills, talents, knowledge, reputation, social status, morality, even love, exist as readable statistics that players can see and interact with objectively. This has many curious and complex effects on how people perceive themselves and the world around them. A few quick notes on the system: -Death is permanent -The system interface can only be accessed at certain locations. -Magic of diverse kinds is available and useful, but is not a good substitute for skills, physicallity, or mental prowess. Non-magical characters are common and competitive. -There is no inventory system. Characters must physically carry everything they wish to have on their person. -Healing is slow and difficult. Magical Healing is all but unheard of. Protagonists: Raymond Garrison- A man in his late twenties who used to work as a forklift operator in Idaho. His path leads him to work as a mercenary, protecting a small community of humans and goblins from the Seelie Fae who wish to exterminate them. Patricia Chandler- A elderly British woman who arrives in this new world with her grandson Kyle and her granddaughter Elizabeth. Never having dealt with rpg game mechanics before, she is in for a rough time, but she is determined to keep her grandkids alive in a world full of danger and evil. Jamil Mesbah- An Egyptian woman who once worked as a technical writer. Her path leads into a vast and hostile forest, where she must master both her magical abilities and her survival skills in order to succeed. Enjoy your travels, friends.

Demon Hunters
Far in the future, the last two viable cities in the western hemisphere – Technoburbia and New Baravia – struggle for control over a vast and largely desolate land. Officially they are at war. In practice, the war has been a stalemate for a generation, the disputed frontier between the two city-states never moving. In the city of New Baravia itself, a vast circular concrete wall keeps its inhabitants in, and its refugees out. For its citizens, life is monotonous and unequal, with enormous wealth in the hands of nobles, criminal gangs, and entertainment bosses. It is the last of these that control the hit entertainment show, “Demon Hunters”. A chance, perhaps, for the ordinary man or woman to rise up, and change their fate... This LitRPG novella is based around a futuristic battle-royale situation, partly set in VR, and partly in a post-apocalyptic city. The story features combat and action, some strong language, and lots of great characters that will stick with you! [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
