My King System Chapter 47

"I have returned my king. The shack continues to exist within the city," one of Ourbanos said.
"Has it changed a bit since the last time I saw it?" Yuki asked.
"No it hasn't my king," Ourbanos responded as he kneeled before the monarch.
"Thank god, now that I know the user of the 'infinite hotel' ability hasn't progressed, I can move on with the plan," Yuki mumbled to himself as he sighed in relief.
"I've been meaning to ask, when are you going to get new clothes? You've been wearing the same sleeveless hoodie and pants since we were in the dungeon," Meurig asked.
"I guess you're right. I'll buy some new ones after this mission," Yuki replied.
Yuki prepared himself one last time before everything went to hell. In the dark night, he commanded the 4 kings he had summoned to unleash their guards into the kingdom. One of the Ourbanos went for the 6 towers of the kingdom. Each one being the vertex of the hexagonal shaped wall which guarded the city. The grey structures were almost instantaneously destroyed. While Yuki couldn't see what was happening outside the prison, he knew that everything would go according to his plan.
As one of the guards attacked the walls, the others were destroying random structures around the area. It didn't matter if they were grocery stores, or simple homes, as long as no one was occupying them, they would get demolished.
"Wait why are you not monitoring their every move? You promised me that no one would die here," Meurig asked.
"First of all no one will die, and second, why would it matter if I killed someone, it's not like it would be my first time doing it," Yuki replied.
"Just because you've done it before doesn't make it right," Meurig rebudled.

"What a goody two-shoes," Yuki said under his breath.
"And what do you mean 'no one will die', how can you be so sure?" Meurig asked.
"When I was designing the world with Zero, we decided to spread out humanity all throughout the world. In the previous world, humans decided to gather and make large clumps, inturn increasing the density in one area which made living conditions unbearable," Yuki replied.
"Then why would humans go to places which had too many people?" Meurig asked.
"Either because they were following the trend or were looking for better opportunities. The more people there were in an area, the more opportunities there were however, there would be just as much competition if not more," Yuki responded.
"I think I understand. The most important thing now is the safety of the people within this kingdom, if you can guarantee me that, I can rest at ease," Meurig said.
Yuki gave Meurig a thumbs up to indicate that they have a deal.
After just 30 minutes, all 4 of the guards returned to the cell. They had to deform and reform whenever they wanted to pass through the gate but it was only a slight inconvenience.
"We have finished our assigned task," they all said simultaneously.
"What about the guard which watches the staircase that leads from the top floor to the cell chamber?" Yuki asked.
"He did not see a single thing, he was sleeping the entire time," the guards explained to Yuki.
"Thank you for all your help, you can go back now," Yuki said.
"We do not deserve your kind words, our king," the 4 Ourbanos said as they disintegrated.
"You can go back to the crown," Yuki said to the 4 kings.

Without getting a chance to reply, they all began to deform and return to the crown.
"Well I guess I'll try to get some sleep for Camri comes and tries to accuse me of the damage to the kingdom," Yuki said to Meurig.
"You can return to the crown too," Yuki said as Meurig nodded and deformed.
The next morning Yuki was woken up to the sound of loud banging at the cell. He tried to act as natural as possible.
"What do you want? Is it already time for my work shift?" Yuki said as he cleared his eyes so he could see better.
"This isn't time for jokes! The entire kingdom was raided and we have you as the top suspect!" Camri yelled.
"Calm down man, I just woke up," Yuki said as he yawned.
"What's the situation outside?" Yuki asked.
"Many structures including the guard towers have been destroyed," Camri replied.
"Any casualties?" Yuki asked.
"None so far..." Camri began to slow down.
"Now, what is the crime that I have been sentenced for?"
"Murder...." Camri began to think about his reasoning.
"But that doesn't matter, you are the only criminal here," Camri said.
"Well that's a bit biased but let's analyze this a bit more," Yuki said.
"Let's say that I was the one who did such a horrendous act, what would be my main motivation for it?" Yuki asked, trying to break down Camri's logic.
"Maybe you were angry about how much you had to work yesterday and wanted to take out your anger on someone, after all, you were sweating an awful lot yesterday," Camri tried to come up with an excuse as fast as he could.
"Then why wouldn't I have attacked either the boss or the mining site?" Yuki asked.
"We don't know everything yet which is why we plan to interrogate you," Camri replied, now having a smile on his face because he believes that he defeated Yuki.
"Now to finally put the nail on the coffin. Did the security guard of the prison see me leave the facility?" Yuki asked one last question.
Sweat began to fall from Camri's face. He quickly rushed off upstairs then came back down.
"The guard said that you've been here since I dropped you off and that he hadn't seen anyone leave the place," Camri said with a sad face.
"Oh really? I can't believe that there is no evidence supporting your allegations," Yuki said as he mocked Camri.
Camri's face was now bright red.
"And once extra thing, if I was angry about the mining job, I would have harmed the company and not the city, it wouldn't make sense to create more opportunities for the person I hate," Yuki said as he looked at Camri with an eerie smile.
Camri was right about to explode at Yuki. Just before he could get out his first word since Yuki began humiliating him, Camri was interrupted.
"Of course I am willing to help as much as I can to rebuild the kingdom," Yuki said.
"Th-thank you," Camri replied before stomping off.
"Well that was fun, everything is falling right into place," Yuki said to himself.

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.
