《The Typhoon’s Wife》The Typhoon's Wife
Advertisement
Mi Rae adamantly refused to go home with her brother.She maintained that she was a big girl and could care for herself.Zheng Hou tried to use all sorts of methods to coax her into going back with him but she refused.Finally he had to threaten her,"Mi Rae!If you do not come back and insist in living alone while recovering,I will send mom to you!"
This brought her to a stop and she pointed an accusing finger at her Hou ge,"You will do this to me!Fine!If you dare to do that,let me tell you,I will tell mom about how you are a playboy and not settling down!I will also tell her all the stories about how people I know are already hooked up and you are wasting away your youth and not giving her grandchildren!"
To this threat Hou responded with his own threat,"Then I will tell her how you are working on making babies without the marriage!"
While both the brother and sister continued to bicker with each other,Neil was enjoying his food.He now knew what his brother felt when he and Al bickered!Both the 'kids'in front of him were now pointing their chopsticks at each other as they continued with their gettingcolourful by the minute threats.
Ofcourse if Mi Rae and Hou's mother knew that the impression of her they were giving her son in law to be was this,she would have flicked their foreheads until she had grilled some sense into them!
Making a coughing sound,Neil interrupted them and was met with two matching glares from both the parties.Smiling casually,he said,"Children!Let us eat in peace.There is no need to fight.I already have a prefect solution.Mi Rae does not wish to return home as of now and you do not wish to leave her alone!So naturally she can move in with me."

Mi Rae was satisfied with this arrangement and went back to eating and seeing her agreeing silently,Neil also continued to eat which is why he did not see Zheng Hou who was observing him with keen eyes.Zheng Hou noticed the way Neil's eyes followed every moment Mi Rae made.The way he kept checking on her to see she was eating well.When his sister had told him that she was chasing a man,he had tried to dissuade her.A man must do the chasing.Then she told him that he had been hurt in the past,this gave Hou even more of a negative impression of Neil.In reality,Zheng Hou had already reached this city yesterday.His purpose was to check out the character of this so called Hero that had won his sister's heart but was holding onto his own,making her work for it.But the rest what he had said was true.He had waited outside her apartment for a long time and tried calling her many times when the phone was switched off.He had almost breathed a sigh of relief when the phone was answered but that relief was short lived when a childish voice answered with a casual greeting.Confused,he had wondered if he had called a wrong number but on confirming the number,he asked cautiously,"This is my sister Mi Rae's phone.Could you please pass it to her?"
The little boy had gone quied fora second and then answered,"I am sorry.I cannot hand the phone to her.Aunt Mi Rae was kidnapped with me today which is why I have her phone.She is currently in the hospital.."
Zheng Hou felt a chill at the matter of fact way the boy explained the situation and after receiving the name of the hospital had rushed here.The fact that she was in the VIP room had not shocked him.But when he had reached the room and had been about to charge in,he had seen Neil gently covering Mi Rae with a blanket and stroking her forehead,like a caring lover..

Seeing that his sister was well taken care of,he went out and then booked a room for himself in the nearest hotel. Even now,he had suggested taking her back to test Neil's reaction.And he was satisfied with what he saw.He had researched Neil Long's background and from what he understood,the man was loyal to a fault..and seeing how he was with Mi Rae,Zheng Hou hoped that Neil would be the same with his little little sister.
But there was something that they needed to clear,"The kidnappers.Mr Long,if my sister stays here,the kidnappers may use her again.From what I understand,this was the work of one of your business rivals..I do not want my sister in danger because of you,specially since you are not even her boyfriend."
Neil was almost offended at Zheng Hous accusing tone.It was almost as if Neil had wanted her to get kidnapped.But he answered calmly,"This particular rival who had dared to touch my family,is no longer a threat.And regarding being Mi Rae's boyfriend,that is between her and me but please know that she is a special girl to me which is why I am inviting her to stay in my house.."
Before Zheng Hou who had been about to object could say something,Neil turned to Mi Rae and said,"Mi Rae,I accept your feelings and am willing to try and return them.."

Yagacore: The Dungeon that Walks Like a Man
The Dungeon System is breaking. Now the mutant cores will rise. Zaria was just a normal woman, living a simple life, right up until demons burst down her door and ate her heart. Normally that would be the end of the story, but Zaria was reborn as a dungeon core. Except nothing is normal for her. Due to instability throughout the universe, Dungeon Core generation is experiencing some unique bugs and glitches. Most of these mutant cores just explode after only a few hours of life. Zaria is one of those cores. Luckily for her, there’s a way to prevent her detonation - she must find and form a bond with a human witch to create a striga. Only then will she be stable enough to survive. Normally, this would be a death sentence anyway, but Zaria’s mutation gives her an ability no other dungeon core has had before: Legs. Now a walking house, Zaria sets off to find her striga, fight demons and monsters, build up a dungeon worthy of being run by the greatest heroes in the lands…and feed the insatiable appetite of her mimic mobs. Life sure isn’t simple anymore.From the author of Dinosaur Dungeon, Factory of the Gods, and others! Plus part of the same universe as those books as well as Roots and Steel and Block Dungeon!

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.
