《Aatrox, A God King in a Modern World.》26 - Visit (part 01)

"Kids, we've been invited to dinner at a friend of ours. Come with me to get ready to go." Said Amanda at her children, happy to see her three treasures playing together.
"All right mom." Said Aatrox helping his siblings get up. They then went with their mother to get ready.
Being left alone, Aatrox turned on his computer and opened GoA to add the 15,000RP. but upon logging in, a new page popped up before him.
[Come and join Clash with 4 or more friends and feel what it's like to play professionally.]
Reading more about it, Aatrox found that it was a tournament held by the game developers so players could experience what it's like to be in a professional game.
Aatrox was curious and wanted to try to see what it was like, but he didn't have a team yet and besides Annie, he had no one to invite.
Throwing this information to the back of his mind, Aatrox redeemed the code and now his account had 15065RP. After looking at Aatrox's available skins, he bought them all as there weren't many. A so-called "Mech Aatrox" skin, where as the name implied, it was Aatrox as a giant robot. Another skin called "Blood Moon Aatrox", where it resembled him the most and looked like he did in his ancient universe. Finally, he bought a so-called "Justicar Aatrox" skin. this one was special because it reminded him of a being he once fought.
[All skins can be viewed on "is.gd/AatroxSkins".]
Knowing he had no time to play any games, Aatrox turned off his computer and went to take a shower. For him who practiced the God-Killer technique, his body was constantly releasing impurities. It was essential that he showered several times a day so that his body did not smell bad.

After the shower, he looking for something to wear. Aatrox chose a black shirt his mother had chosen with the various saleswomen when he wore it as a model. To match his shirt, Aatrox chose black jeans and a silver belt.
During the trip, his father had bought him a black watch too, finishing his look. Fully dressed and looking in the mirror, Aatrox realized that he definitely didn't miss his red skin. His serious face, with his long loose black hair combined with his black clothes, gave him a different look. Anyone talking to him would feel like he was talking to a hot and sexy devil.
Leaving his bedroom he saw Bruna in a black dress sitting on their parents' bed watching a cartoon on the bedroom television. Bryan was wearing a black shirt too while Amanda combed his hair.
Seeing the surprised look on her son's face, Amanda couldn't help but sigh. "They said they wanted to dress in black to look just like you. Worse, they didn't even know what you were wearing, but they knew it would be black."
Hearing this Aatrox can't help but laugh at her helpless look and the proud smile on the twins' faces.
Alex opened the door and saw his family getting ready. He couldn't help but have a happy smile when seeing everyone gathered together. After greeting everyone, he went to take a shower to get ready as well.

Hearing the phone notification, Aatrox picked it up and saw it was a message from Annie.
[Annie: Hey! Did you see the message on GoA?]
[Benjamin: Yes, I thought it was cool but I don't have a team to play with.]
[Annie: What are you going to do today?]
[Benjamin: I'm going to some friends of my parents' house. Why?]

[Annie: So keep quiet, we'll talk later.]
Aatrox was confused but quickly ignored it. When everyone was ready, the family of five went to Amanda's car which was larger than Alex's and would be more comfortable for their journey.
On the car radio on the way, was a song that caught Aatrox's attention.
"But you didn't have to cut me off
Make it out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
No, you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know. "
Listening to this rhythm accompanied by the lyrics, Aatrox thought he better understood the human emotion called love that his mother once mentioned.
In his old world, many people cultivated for millennia, making their own path in the cultivation world. A small group of them used instruments. Using the mana that they absorbed from the air, they would increase the vibrations coming out of their instruments and affect the people who could hear it. The vibrations had many effects. They could resonate with the blood of the ally's and increase their metabolism, making them heal faster. Or they could resonate the vibrations with their enemies skeleton, causing them to fracture and cause damage.
People from all over the world and even other planets came to listen to the music the gods played.
One of these gods was a goddess who was mute. With only her harp she could prevent wars. People who listened to her music felt the emotions she wanted them too. If the goddess wanted people to feel in love, people would feel that way after hearing her music. If she wanted them to feel mad with rage, then they would.
It was a pity that he had never seen any of the Gods who specializes in instruments. Maybe he did in a battle, but he killed them before they had a chance to use their instruments.
Aatrox never practiced an instrument, much less reaching the same level as these gods only with an instrument. But hearing the music on the radio aroused a curiosity in him. 'Is playing an instrument fun?'
In this life, Aatrox wanted to have fun and enjoying his time with his family. 'Maybe learning an instrument is fun, after all, for Gods to spend tens of thousands of years practicing nonstop, it shouldn't be boring, should it?. I'll think about it later. ' Aatrox thought, wondering if it would be difficult to get an instrument.
Looking out of the window, Aatrox can saw the car driving into the driveway of a large house. But after passing through the gate, Aatrox saw something unexpected.

Braza the Architect - Magical Crafter, Builder, and Adventurer!
This is the story of an older man who lived a hard but full life, being reincarnated into a fantasy world as a human-lizard hybrid. The new world is violent, magic is real, a game-like development system crushes physics and natural law under its ambivalent thumb, and myth and legend don't just meet, they chase you down to eat you.Follow Braza as he tries to make a very different life for himself in a familiar but ultimately alien world. In this story the protaginist will not just be a muscle bound monster. He is not a proper hero, willing to sacrifice himself for the good of a stranger, but neither is he a maniacal villain. He is trying to survive, and he is trying to give himself and those he deems himself responsible for a seat at the table of the"goodly", the "civilized" races. He is trying to create a secure home for his people, to arrange beneficial trade agreements, explore ancient ruins, decipher ancient runes, push the boundaries of magic to create a better life for everyone around him, to learn about the history of the world and the multiverse, and ultimately attempt to become powerful enough to take on a being that even the gods themselves fear. This is my first story and it blends many different elements and styles. It's a bit darker than most of what I have read on Royal Road, but even with that, I hope you give it a try, and I hope you like it!

Stories Of Indlu
“… to grow, for opportunity, for adventure, to be free. Join the colony ship Nao Vittoria. Be the first to live amongst the stars.” It was obvious from the literature that the NextStar corporation wanted the young, the adventurous and the brilliant. So why were the super rich fighting over seats? Why were AI’s trying to stow away? Did this signify a premature end to human/AI civilisation? Why had some questions directed to NextStar been aggressively sidelined? Why did the colonist inflight entertainment trial produce fatalities? In fact, why colonists at all? Those and many other questions, however, boiled down to a single central question. Why was the world’s most advanced AI dumped with a hundred year babysitting job for 50 million people speeding towards an uninhabitable planet? It made such little sense. The only sure way to get answers, catch a ride on the Nao Vittoria and play the inflight entertainment game, Pax Domini. I joined, and this is my story. Well, I feature. OK, I’m more of a spectator. Actually, I’m completely irrelevant I was just there. I’m only the storyteller. But what a story to tell. --------- Hi All, Content will be published weekly usually Saturday and typical posts will be 25oo to 4ooo words per post. Though for some reason the Royal Road word count does not include the content of tables so some posts may not appear to meet this criteria. Currently I have written sufficient unedited content to keep this schedule for the next 12 months (half way through the first story arc). My current productivity would indicate that I can maintain this schedule for well into the second story arch. This also allows for the additional content that will be posed exclusively on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/StoriesOfIndlu). This additional content follows minor characters, peripheral events, maps and other content that does not take away from the main story. I would love to accelerate the post schedule but to meet this I need the assistance of more beta readers than I currently have. So please let me know if you are interested. - Andy ©2022 Andy Leauter.
