《Aatrox, A God King in a Modern World.》21 - Stellar Lung Technique
Advertisement
Amanda knocked on the door to wake Aatrox and slightly opened the door to peek inside, but when she saw him sitting on his bed was surprised. "Already awake Ben?"
"I woke up a little while ago, I started to meditate to clear my mind to start the day." Aatrox said as he opened his green eyes. He had not slept at all last night, but while he cultivates, his body became energized after each circulation of mana around his body than with an hour of sleep.
"Your father told me you were meditating but I thought it was just a joke. Does that really help you?" She asked curiously as she sat next to Aatrox on the bed.
"It helps a lot, do you want me to teach you? I watched some videos on the Internet and started practicing." He said since he could not tell her that he was cultivating.
"Hmm, okay! Let's try it, what should I do?" Amanda said as she crossed her long white legs on the bed.
Aatrox had already selected a breathing technique for his relatives. Since he would not teach them how to cultivate for now, at least with a breathing technique they would unknowingly increase their longevity. "Close your eyes and focus on the movement I make." He said as he stood behind his mother and ran his fingers at some points on her back.
"Did you feel these places that I press? On the first try, I will help you, take a deep breath calmly and I will help you guide the nutrients through the points I showed you." Said Aatrox quietly.
When Amanda took a deep breath, she felt that along with the air that entered her body, something else was coming in too. She guided the feeling to where her son's finger was passing. "It's working !! What is this I'm ingesting with the air, Benji?"

"When you learn to control the air that enters your body, the nutrients that are normally wasted start to be absorbed in the points I showed you. What those nutrients are not important for now, what you need to do is learn to control them every time you breathe, "said Aatrox while giving his mother a slight smile. What he didn't say was that what he was teaching her was one of the most powerful mortal breathing techniques he had encountered in his past life.
The stellar lung technique. This technique took the energy that was dispersed into the environment and absorbed it at specific points in the body. Once absorbed, this energy will be distributed to the organs of the person cleaning up all their impurities. In the short term it will make the cultivator feel more energized throughout the day, but after some time using it, their organs become so pure that their health significantly increases and they no longer get ill. For someone who has practiced the stellar lung technique for decades, their lifespan may have been extended by a few extra decades.
"Ok Benji, you can leave it to me! Just give it a try once I feel more energetic than if I had a bottle of coffee!" Said Amanda motivated.
Seeing her act like this, Aatrox found her cute. 'Apparently, I inherited most of my charisma points from my mother.' Aatrox thought, remembering some girls who became interested in him.
"We'll have breakfast, for now, soon your dad will take you to school." Amanda said as she got off the bed.
Aatrox headed toward the bathroom and took a hot shower. After the shower, he put on one of the clothes they had bought at the mall over the weekend. A white closed sweatshirt with a small sword symbol on his left chest, black jeans, and white sneakers. On a normal person, it would look just like a normal set of clothes, but on Aatrox it has become a fashionable masterpiece. The sword marks were called 'Kross', apparently one of the most popular brands at the moment.

His hair, which was a little dry when he woke up, was now silky and shiny after cultivation, his parched skin had been cleansed from all impurities and was soft like a baby's skin.
After having breakfast with his family, Aatrox grabbed his new backpack, a simple black backpack, and slung it over his shoulder as he followed his father to the car.
"Bye, brother!" Bruna and Bryan said as they ran and hugged each of Aatrox's legs.
"When I get back we'll play a lot." Aatrox said, smiling and returning the hug of his siblings.
"You promise?" They looked at him with expectant eyes.
"I promise." Aatrox said as he laced his pinky fingers with theirs. This was something he learned from them during the time they visited him at the hospital. They were very afraid when he said that he was feeling sleepy and thought that Aatrox would not wake up again and would sleep for several more years. After trying to convince them, the only way that worked was to pinky promise that he would wake up tomorrow. According to them, when someone makes a pinky promise, the finger of those who didn't keep their promise would fall off.
After ruffling their hair and earning a few laughs from the twins, Aatrox headed for the garage and saw his father was sitting in the passenger seat.
Glad to be able to drive again, Aatrox smiles as he sits in his father's Mustang driver's seat.
"Since you are so fond of driving, when you get to school try to find out how to get your driver's license there. When you have a driver's license, you can drive without me having to go with you." Alex said after seeing his son excited to drive.
"Okay." Aatrox answered as he started the car and enjoyed the roar of the engine. He could probably go millions of times faster than this car while flying in his past life, but even so, the feeling of driving a car is totally unique. Being able to control a machine this size the way you wanted gave Aatrox an addictive adrenaline rush.
Leaving the garage they headed toward the school. This time the entrance was several times more crowded. There were teenagers everywhere. When they heard the rumble of a Mustang's engine, several students turned to look. Following the sound they found a flawless Black Mustang, behind the wheel was a long-haired teenager with a very delicate and handsome face. The wind from the window made his long black hair flutter in the wind as some strands curled around the thin, circular glasses resting over his ears.
'Damn, why don't my glasses look as good as his on me.' was the thought that went through the minds of many students with glasses. While 'I need to get some glasses.' was the thought that went through the minds of some people who didn't need to wear glasses.

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.

The Chronicles of Tyfoon, The Chosen One
For hundreds of years the galaxy was kept in order due to the diligent work of The Council, the number one authority in the whole galaxy, and their appointed guardian of the galaxy, The Chosen One. The Chosen One was the face of order and justice in the galaxy and was the head over all the galactic military forces, answering only to The Council themselves. But after a rebel enemy force known as the Doomaki rise to power, they overtake The Chosen One and his military forces, known as The Peacekeepers. One final battle leaves The Peacekeepers outnumbered and The Chosen One is overtaken and presumed dead. Just when it seems the galaxy might fall to the evil reign of the Doomaki, they disappear without a trace. With the thread of the Doomaki gone, the crippled galaxy begins to try and rebuild and find a new Chosen One to lead them and prepare for whatever new threats may come. Tyfoon, the Chosen One's only child, was born during the battle that his father disappeared in, and the ensuing battle left him without a mother as well, dying soon after childbirth. 18 years from that night pass and Tyfoon is ready to follow in his father's footsteps and serve The Council, perhaps to be The Chosen One when he is ready. But this plan is cut short when the Doomaki resurface and threaten everything dear to Tyfoon. Tyfoon must rise up and finish the task his father failed: defeat the Doomaki once and for all.
