《Aatrox, A God King in a Modern World.》46 - Social Growth
Advertisement
After watching several episodes of the anime, Aatrox picked up the sleeping children on his lap and carried them to their bed.
He had really liked this anime guy. It was a totally different way of using the energy he had never thought of. He would probably never use these techniques shown in the series, as they are rather primitive and very useless in actual fighting compared to the techniques he had acquired in his old life.
After leaving the children in the room, Aatrox had returned to his room, closed the door so as not to disturb anyone, and began to train his singing more for his radio performance tomorrow.
He had felt that his singing level was rising too fast, mentally he had set a goal that when he reached perfection in singing, he would try to implement the energy. To be able to make the most of the energy without waste and not accommodate singing training.
...
The next day, Aatrox woke up and before breakfast, he went to watch his YouTube channel to see how he was doing.
"Benjamin Gray.
Subscribers: 4,817
Total Views: 96,430 "
Seeing the sudden growth of his channel, Aatrox can't help but be surprised. The day before yesterday he still had only 1,500 subscribers, in just two days his number of subscribers had tripled. Reading the comments on the video, Aatrox couldn't help but smile.
[Spectator: I finally found out that he really is the swordsman!]
[LaelsonZX: How did you find that out? It has not been confirmed anywhere.]
[Spectator: I was lucky enough to live in his hometown, today they recorded the second episode and I could watch it live, as the entrance was free. I won't spoil what happened, but I can confirm to you that he really is the swordsman.]

[ LaelsonZX: Ohhhh dude, you have to tell me what happened. When I watched episode 1, I didn't stop looking for episode 2 to satisfy me, now you tell me you saw it live and you won't say what happens?? TT-TT]
[ OceanOfEmotions: This song ... Dude, I always remember a girlfriend I had during High school. The song was so well sung that I miss that time. She and I broke up for a silly reason and recently got back to talking. It may not mean much to you but know that I'm going to listen to this song with her tonight so we can remember how bad it was to live without each other.]
[29kiki: Thanks for the song. I've been following you since your first cover and I can assure you have a future; I hope you don't stop halfway.]
Aatrox answered some comments and others gave a Like to show that he had read. This kind of comment always motivated him a lot.
'Reading some comments from people who have changed their lives or have had good emotions from just listening to music ... I need to learn to use energy along with the music soon, I want to write my own music and bring good feelings to those who listen too.' Aatrox thought as he went to breakfast with his family.
The class today had been very quiet. The group had confirmed that they would meet tonight at Thomaz's house again for the singing contest to decide who would be the lead singer. Everyone was very excited.
After class, Aatrox returns home to get ready for the radio. Since this was his first live performance, Aatrox can't help but get excited about how people would react to hearing him sing.
Aatrox put on a long-sleeved white wool shirt, dark blue jeans, and white sneakers. Even though he had told his parents that he was a cultivator, he still wore the glasses he had earned, as he found them very handsome.

With his long hair down, Aatrox can't help but pick up his phone and take a picture to post on Instagram. He found it quite entertaining and practical as he could access the photos on any computer and the people he knew could view and comment on his photos. Like in class today, when Annie commented on the photo he had posted on Instagram. He wanted to know how she found his Instagram, but she laughed and showed him how many followers he had there.
"Benjamin Gray.
Followers: 9,174"
He was amazed that he couldn't understand why he had so many followers, but as he read the comments on the photo, he posted he understood. People watching Episode 1 may not have listened to his songs for a variety of reasons, but when they saw his picture on Instagram trending topics, they instantly recognized it. Most of the comments were about girls who had seen the video and wanted to see what it looked like.
Posting the photo, Aatrox saw that the number of likes and comments on the photo was rising much faster than he expected. In less than 5 minutes the photo had over 800 likes.
Aatrox smiled with satisfaction and was happy to see people liking the photo. He took the opportunity to answer some comments as well and put the phone away.
"Are you ready?" Amanda asked her son to know how he was feeling before they went to the radio.
"Yes, I'm a little excited, but I think it will be fun." He said as he put the guitar in the cover and hung it on his back.
Bryan and Bruna had already showered and were prepared to go with them to see their older brother on the radio. It wasn't very special to them, as you couldn't see it on television, but it might still be fun, at least to hear their brother play guitar and sing along with other people.
As Aatrox was getting out of the car he saw a group of beautiful people talking and figured that maybe it was the other digital influencers who would be participating.

Leftover Apocalypse
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] This is a story about the newly-adult Calliope Smith having a terrible day that ends in her getting mysteriously teleported from Phoenix, Arizona to a fantasy world where her life is in constant danger. She considers this an upgrade. Someone evil is looking for her, and she doesn't know why. Someone who seems to know a lot about her has promised they'll help her, but she doesn't know who they are. All that matters to Callie is that magic is real and one way or another she's going to learn it. The end of the world is coming up, sure, but Callie won't need to worry about that. In fact, by the time she even finds out about it one of the doomsday devices will already be destroyed, and the authorities will be well on the way to dealing with the other one. It's fine. Everything will be smooth sailing. Almost certainly. Probably. Chapters are usually about 2500-3500 words, and the goal is to post 2-3 per week but I sometimes get busy or have some writers block. It's your standard portal fantasy / Isekai premise, but unlike some the main character's time on Earth and how she got pulled into another world will (eventually) be explored. Some slight GameLit-feeling stuff later, no menus or level-ups but there's something suspiciously like a skill tree when the magic system gets going. No number crunching, and while the main character will get to do some silly stuff she won't be a god like in some fics (and will in fact spend a lot of time being badly outclassed by her enemies). Some reader interaction, ranging from adding to the worldbuilding to occasionally making big important decisions about skill progression. Please note that the main character is flawed and impulsive, and will make some stupid decisions. That's part of the story, but I get that it's not for everyone. Trigger Warnings: Foster care system references, crappy parenting. Some mental health adjacent stuff, specifically the main character has some issues where she experiences varying levels of empathy and emotional vulnerability depending on the day (it's complicated and not meant to portray any real-world conditions). Occasional violence including mention of death and grievous bodily harm, but no detailed descriptions of gore.
