"A hundred days have made me older
Since the last time that I saw your pretty face.
A thousand lies have made me colder
And I don't think I can look at this the same.
All the miles that separate
Disappear now when I'm dreaming 'of your face.
I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind.
I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time.
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
Tonight girl, it's only you and me."♪
Aatrox stopped recording and then opened it, to see how it came out, and the first video. When comparing the two videos, now that he had more knowledge of singing, he realized that the overall quality of the video had increased. Since his technique had gotten so much better.
He posted the second video to post and started noticing his YouTube channel. The name was 'Benjamin Gray', as it was the name he had put in the email, and the channel had no photos.
Aatrox had noticed that the most famous channels are using legal profile pictures, but despite his appearance, taking pictures was still a novelty. He opened the phone's camera and took some pictures. Nowhere was he smiling, as he only smiled spontaneously and sometimes when he was with his family.
Curiously, Aatrox searched for photos and saw an app that was popular for posting photos. Its name was Instagram. He downloaded it out of curiosity and created an account "@ThatBenjaminGrey" (I enjoyed how well it worked for my other book, so I'm doing it for this one too. I created an Instagram with this "@" to post things about the book if anyone is interested, just search social media!)
Choosing one of the photos he had taken that he liked the most, Aatrox posted it and also used it as his YouTube profile picture. Now his channel was finally complete.

Looking at the new face of his channel, Aatrox felt satisfied. After enjoying some comments that people made on his first video, Aatrox sat on the bed to look at his body.
Aatrox's body was very different from how it was when he had come into this world. His muscles, which were once only slightly outlined by his clothing, were now clearly visible. He wasn't big as a bodybuilder, as it would reduce his agility, but the God- Killer technique compressed his muscles as much as possible. Maybe now Aatrox would have problems if he has to get blood drawn, or if he does something with needles in the future, as it will probably be difficult to penetrate the needle into his skin.
Aatrox summoned his little Knight's crown and observed it. The crown now had a diameter of an adult's shin, different from the diameter of a wrist it had before. It shows how much he has improved. In Aatrox's experience, when the crown becomes large enough that he can wear it on his head, it will be when he will be promoted to Baron.
The strength of a newly promoted Baron compared to the strength of a Knight at its peak is almost five times greater.
Now about the Star Lung Technique, a person who practices this technique for a few months will become a little stronger than a normal person, while a person who has practiced for years may have the strength two to three times that of a normal person. But the most amazing thing about this technique is not the improvement it gives to short-term practitioners, but the potential it unlocks.
When someone who has never cultivated, uses the technique, it becomes a person's instinct to always control the energy through the body. Aatrox has cultivated for thousands of years, so controlling the energy in his body was more natural than breathing, since when the cultivator reaches the cultivation of a 'God', he no longer needs to eat, sleep or breathe.

But for his family, this technique is indispensable, more important than the God- Killer technique itself.
The next day, when Aatrox arrived at high school, he met Annie and they talked about the play they were performing today until Thomaz showed up.
The once peaceful weather had now turned cold. They began to stare at each other until Annie called Aatrox to try to divert his attention. It worked because Aatrox threw the thought of Thomaz in the back of his mind and spoke quietly with Annie again.
During the break, Aatrox's group met to set up the next meeting.
"So the meeting can be at my house again, what do you guys think?" Thomaz asked.
"That's fine with me." Riley replied accompanied by Violet and Carter's nod. Aatrox just nodded, it really made no difference to him where the next meeting would be.
"Benjamin and I discussed what it would be like to improve to be the lead singer of our band and in the end, we decided we were going to audition to see who sings better. Whoever sings better has the right to choose which parts to sing and who will be the first voice. What do you think as the judges?" Thomaz asked.
Riley readily agreed thinking it would be fun, Violet closed her eyes and watched them both before nodding in agreement. She probably realized there was something more to the mood than the two boys were showing.
As everyone agreed, Carter, who was very shy, had no courage to be left out and accepted it too.
"So it's decided. Tomorrow at my house we can hold this contest. Today I have soccer team training. We won't be able to meet each other tonight." Thomaz said, emphasizing the part of 'soccer' as if it were the greatest honor to join the team.
Aatrox has a little interest in sports, but it is a small interest in knowing how it is and if it is fun. He doesn't know if his cultivation would take the game off, as it could be very easy to compete with ordinary people.

The Long and Exciting Life of Kreet the Kobold (Life 2)
Kreet was originally a D&D character. Life 1 was essentially her backstory. Life 2 picks up just after the events of the D&D campaign in the Underdark. At first you won't recognize the characters, but bear with it for a couple chapters and the few important points will be revealed. Also I stole a player's character (with his permission!) in the form of Sigmundurr. Also, unlike Life 1, I'll be posting this slowly over time. Right now I'm writing around chapter 20 and I suspect I'm only halfway. Tone may be a little different. ( Cover art by KuroNeko I'm pretty sure!)

The Oddity: The One Who Does Not Belong
A purple ball descended from the sky, a gift from the primordial dragons, granting many races of the world access to magic. Unfortunately, humans were not one of those. During the great war, the magicless humans were nothing more than fodder, meat shields. Until one day, their powers awakened. After the war, with the ability to now wield, fire, water, earth, wind, or lightning, powerful magicians gathered to build a safe haven for humans, the Kaldora Empire. Before the humans had magic, other races prospered with it. But, within their midst, there were... oddities. People with an affinity for two elements. Each one leaving some sort of disaster in their wake. Each one, not quite fit for this world. A young boy's family, killed in an accident, only he and his sister survived the night. After that, they were split up, each taken in by a different relative. It has been eight years since the flames engulfed his home and most of his family. With his magic powers finally showing itself, he goes off to a magic academy to better learn about his newfound powers. But as he grows, something else does as well. The voice inside his head, the thing that influences his thoughts, the monster that he wish was gone, the devil inside his heart. This is a tale about connections. NOTE: The story will be slow for many of the chapters and the time will also match it, ex: goes by day by day. The time mostly will be used for introducing and adding to characters. It won't pick up until somewhere in the twenties but there will be action and events earlier on such as the missions. Just a fair warning. Order of Phantasmal Architects

Demon Hunters
Far in the future, the last two viable cities in the western hemisphere – Technoburbia and New Baravia – struggle for control over a vast and largely desolate land. Officially they are at war. In practice, the war has been a stalemate for a generation, the disputed frontier between the two city-states never moving. In the city of New Baravia itself, a vast circular concrete wall keeps its inhabitants in, and its refugees out. For its citizens, life is monotonous and unequal, with enormous wealth in the hands of nobles, criminal gangs, and entertainment bosses. It is the last of these that control the hit entertainment show, “Demon Hunters”. A chance, perhaps, for the ordinary man or woman to rise up, and change their fate... This LitRPG novella is based around a futuristic battle-royale situation, partly set in VR, and partly in a post-apocalyptic city. The story features combat and action, some strong language, and lots of great characters that will stick with you! [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Path of the Stonebreaker
Femira spent her life stealing scraps and looting corpses just to survive another day. When she stumbles upon the chance to steal another's identity, she thinks she's found the ticket to an easy life. But she soon finds the glamour of the runewielder's hall hides as much peril as the bloodslick streets. Can she steal the greatest prize of all, the knowledge to reshape the earth, and make it out alive? Abandoned by his abusive father at the far reaches of the world, Daegan may not have the powers of his ancestors but he refuses to die in banishment. Will he make it back home in time to prevent a brewing war? ------------------- This is a gritty drama-driven, rambling tale that presents mysteries early on that the characters work to unravel throughout the story. It swings between action, drama, and sometimes some darker comedy. Warning: A whole lot of profanity, alcohol, drugs, implied violence, actual violence and mega-violence—the kind that involves knives sliding into eye sockets and brains spilling onto floors—the usual stuff, scenes of intimacy, mercenaries, pirates, lots of moral ambiguity, including a wizard that likes to make tea with the heat sucked from his victim's bodies and a heap of world-ending monsters ready to eat people. _______________ Expectations: Updates every Monday and Thursday. Chapters will be between 2,000 and 5,000 words. I'm Irish and write in "Irish English" which is to say that I don't use much of the letter "z"
