Journey Towards Greatness Chapter 736
Advertisement
After getting himself the key card to his room from Sasha, he walked into the very expensive looking door that seems to be plated with real gold, it is actually an elevator.
Julian was surprised by how much money the owner of this hotel wasted to renovate this palace into a luxury hotel.
The inside of this elevator was also very beautifully decorated with golden light lighting up the whole elevator and the mirrors reflecting it, he looked down and saw that the floor is made of very expensive marble which reflected his image.
He shook his head and waited for the elevator to reach the third floor, yes this hotel only had three floors, unlike other hotels which are long and reach the hight of skyscrapers, this one is very wide and covered a large area of land.
As he entered the third floor he was greeted by a red carpet, the whole hall was covered with it, the walls were beautifully decorated, he saw mini cleaning robots moving around the hall keeping the carpets very clean.
He quickly found his room and entered, once again the luxury that this place provided was too much for Julian, he was not used to living in a place like this, the hotels he has been in before were beautifully and well designed but they all paled in comparison to this room, the hall is huge and a massive chandelier hung on top, the chandelier had ruby stones fitted to them as they refracted the light coming from the center, he walked around the room and found a massive bathroom filled with everything that is needed to clean after on self.
The bathroom itself has a massive TV on the wall so that people can still do their shit and continue getting their entertainment, it seems that all the TV were connected as well so people can't miss their shows if they moved from one place to another, after looking around for a while, Julian finally gave up and jumped on the bed.

This room had too much for him to explore alone.
Now that he is here he wants to see what this town has to offer, this is the only town in Unova that still has preserved its monuments and ancient figures to this day and he might find some more interesting things here.
After resting for a while Julian cleaned after himself and left the hotel to look around the town. Since this town is so rich in history and structure he should find many interesting things, as he walked around the town he found many things the caught his interest, there were some old live theaters with live actors telling unique and real stories through their acting, he also found many modern-day kinds of stuff as well, like internet cafe and game stores which was packed with young teenagers to men in their 30s.
This town was clearly very impressive, he then found himself in front of a mall and was surprised by the poster hung on the wall of the mall, it had Caitlin's poster on it and she seems to be having an exhibition battle against Shauntal who is another member of the Unova's Elite-Four.
Julian now got curious, he wanted to know why these two are here and he is also interested in their battle, in paper Shauntal has an advantage over Catilin because Caitlin is a Psychic-type user and Shauntal is a Ghost-type user.
But these things didn't matter, he has looked into the Elite-Four of Unova and he is actually very impressed by all of them, all of them are very equal when it comes to power, their ranking was based on the numbers of wins in their record and Caitlin has the most of them while Shauntal has the least compared to the others.

But in Unova, the elite four rankings is very vague and the person on the top spot may not be the best of them, the four are very equally balanced and have an advantage over the other, while Shauntal has an advantage against Caitlin she will have trouble against Grimsley who is a Dark-type user and he has a disadvantage against Marshal who has trouble against Caitlin.
All of them come together and maintain a perfect balance, but on record, Caitlin still holds the best record and she has more than one win over other Elite-Four members and vice versa.
Julian looked into Shauntal and Caitlin's matches and found that they have battled each other on an official stage 7 times and Shauntal holds an extra win over Caitlin with a 4-3 and this time Caitlin wants to level that score.
He also realized that this is actually Caitlin's hometown as well so she should have a lot of fans supporting her.
Julian decided to book a ticket for himself for this event which is tomorrow.
After looking around for a few hours he returned back, as he walked into the hotel, Sasha greeted him and asked if he wants something to eat, seeing that Sasha is willing to work for him, he decided to test her more and how much she really is dedicated to joining under Julian.
Julian "Good, come to my room after an hour and bring some food with you, anything is ok"
He said and walked away, Sasha seems to be a bit embarrassed as she started to think about weird stuff again, she quickly got rid of them and headed to the kitchen to prepare somethings to eat for Julian.

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.

Four story anthology
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] [participant in #NaNoWriMo] Preface: This fiction will contain four different stories set up as a challenge for myself and to get better at writing. The challenge for royal road writathon is a 55.555 word goal while the nanowrimo challenge is 50.000 words. Reader suggestions is turned on, feel free to point out errors I missed and I'll fix them up! Chasing sun, napping softly: Cultivation/Xianxia genre. Some parts will poke at the ridiculousness of the Xianxia gerne. We follow the life of a magical fox monster, who doesn't like how the cultivation world works. Said beast seems to have more knowledge than is usual for normal magical beasts. In it's infinite wisdom it decided to search for the main character of the cultivation world to have a cozy and safe place beside him. Our fox will act as a "wise beast" to coast along on the main characters rise to greatness, all for peace, happiness and that amazing napping spot in the sun. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing in first person. Comedic effect between talking vaguely and sounding wise. The cost of heroism: A story more centered around fights and mental health of hired mercenaries/heroes. The world is infected with an eldritch corruption. Humans are trying their best to explore and clear out wilderness and the dungeons hiding in them to establish new cities. Lords seek for hired hands to do the professional work. Thanks to the setting, the story will show how awful pasts are the norm and how pragmatic people became thanks to that. People exchange their sanity for riches, fame and gods acceptance. Interpersonal relationships change drastically and quickly. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing grim scenes/imparting a feeling of how grim the world is. Writing fight scenes. Showing different mental states. Describing their influence on people during fights, walks or even after successful or failed campaigns. Who will be the next powerhouse? : A story about a gaming show, it's host Staan and the different participants. Stereotype characters, stereotype backstories, silly challenges and quizzes. The winner of those challenges gets powerups for their power system. Be it magic, ki, psychic power or anything else imaginable and unimaginable to reach the power of gods. The challenges for myself with this story: A softer tone for storytelling. Making the reader smile and enjoy themselves. A different try at slice of life story. I was left behind on earth as my family conquered another world and enjoys riches, but that's okey because I got a cheat too! : Stereotypical Isekai story parody twisted into an Urban Fantasy story. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing over the top and overdramatic scenarios/scenes Writing in first person. Walking into stereotypical scenarios and making them more dramatic/giving them a twist. Different type of humor.
