《Addiction》Day 2: Distraction
Advertisement
-=-----------------------7:43 AM-----------------------=-
Well, this is Day 2 of the whole addiction thing.
I was expecting today to be a very mundane and boring day, but not at all!
Whether it's a good thing or a bad thing, I have ditched music and arts class for so long that I have six different modules that needs to be passed by next week. Three of those are performance tasks!
I know I procrastinate a lot but hot damn, this is a lot of modules I need to finish.
Today is going to be a busy day.
For now though, back to eating breakfast.
-=-----------------------11:36 AM-----------------------=-
I have done NOTHING in the past two hours.
All I did was watch YouTube and talk to my friends about vtubers.
I like vtubers but I don't watch their stream for one, I don't speak Japanese and two- my attention span is basically non-existent so watching livestreams is no no for me.
Anyways! I'm gonna eat lunch, and I swear to God. Well then, hopefully I actually work on my modules today and not get distracted again.
-=-----------------------2:54 PM-----------------------=-
Alright- I'll admit, I've only finished half of the modules in the past two hours.
I was doing it, then I got a notification of a manga I was reading, it got a new chapter. So I read the chapter but I wasn't satisfied so I started looking and reading for new stuff to check out.
There was not much to say really. Today is a lot more mundane compared to yesterday and yesterday was also very boring. Anyways, I guess I'll stop reading now and finish the latter half of my modules, then maybe play some RLCraft afterwards.
Oh- I also checked the news on Genshin Impact, I know I'm supposed to be avoiding that but hot damn, their trailer for the new update is wild! I got pretty riled up even though I might not even experience it myself.
Heh..
-=-----------------------5:07 PM-----------------------=-
Alright, I finished everything. I can't believe I actually ditched these. It wasn't that bad. All I need to do now is wait for it to download on google drive and give the link.

Need to wait four hours but I think I'll spend the rest of the day sleeping.
Well not for now, I want to at least have day 2 reach over a thousand words. Well it can't be helped since I really didn't do much today but do my modules.
Actually, you guys listened to African music? It's the topic I'm learning in music. It's unique I guess but I don't really know, I am not really a fan of music.
I don't dislike music, I dislike singing in music. I don't want to insult someone, bear that in mind but don't you guys feel like music is being screwed off with voices? I don't know, I just feel like I enjoy music without the actual singing. Of course, some songs obviously require a singer for it, that's their main ploy in it.
I just don't like it, whenever people asks something like
What's your favorite song?
You listen to Kpop?
Or anything like that at all, I just say I'm not really a fan of it. To be honest, I'm just not fond of music now that I think about it. There's not a single song I sing that doesn't involve me sarcastically making fun of it. Actually, music would be my weakest subject next to my language lessons.
Don't get me wrong though, I still appreciate music. As someone who actually tried playing instruments due to it being a necessity, I know how gifted and talented you must be if you play it really well. If it's not a gift, then you must've worked really hard to get to that point of skill and that I can appreciate just as much.
But music is definitely not for me.
Actually, it's pretty funny. You guys know where games have background music that plays when you're playing or in a boss fight or something so it enhances the scenery? Well, apparently, I made it a habit to completely shut off music in my head if I'm not listening. I did it to the point where I realized LoL* had actual music and not sound effects.

You guys get me or is it just me?
Note: League of Legends, an old but still very popular MOBA PC game
Well, enough about music. For me, it sounds wrong to talk about it if you don't have anything to talk about.
Hmmmmm..
Anyways, one of my friends got their new PC and is currently setting it up. Quite happy for him, now we just need to wait for the other one so we can finally play RLCraft and die together. Well that's what I'm for at least, none of us are actually going to buy Minecraft itself. We're just going to do this by using TLauncher*.
Note: TLauncher is a website where you can download Minecraft for free but it does not allow you to enter certain servers. If you are going to play Minecraft, although it is free, I still highly suggest buy the official Minecraft to support the devs
Specific reason I chose to suggest RLCraft to my friends is simply because you really can't get addicted to it. Well, I can't at least. It's very frustrating. The other specific reason is because it would be so fun just dying and screwing around all day.
I can't wait for us to play.

Alright, just a quick note. Apparently I was also lacking a task in Programming haha-
Thank God I just had to make a calculator. It's hilarious how that's the only thing they force you to do here. Nothing actual advanced.
Clearly you guys had programming right? Whether it be advanced as fuck or as easy as mine, the principle stays the same doesn't it? It's all about copy-pasting from you're previous works to build something even more grand. In my case, I just had to pay attention how to do if-else* and utilize it into making some weird calculator nobody is going to use.
Note: If you don't know, if-else is a standard thing you where you give the program two seperate paths to choose from, if it can't fulfill the first path(if), it will attempt to fill the second(else)
Well, that's all really. Kind of laughing how I got threatened with, "The deadline for your Performance Task is on December 15,2020".
-=-----------------------7:45 PM-----------------------=-
Just finished eating dinner and for some reason, I have a terrible headache right now. Maybe it's because I was lying on a wall without a pillow or something. Either way, it hurts. It doesn't hurt to the point I want to puke but it does hurt.
Well, enough complaining about my headache. Day 2 kind of went all distraction-ish
Was I productive? Kinda
Did I have fun today? Not much, pretty mundane but not the most boring.
Do I still need to look for a new hobby? Yes-
Oh and I think I'll post that apocalypse work around Friday next week when Christmas break starts for me and I no longer need to use my head. Unlike Genshin Impact, RLCraft shouldn't interfere too much with the whole posting schedule.
I swear to God if I ditch this again- I don't even know what I'm going to do.
Also, speaking of apocalypse, there's this one meme I remember that in February 2021, a zombie apocalypse will occur. It was pretty funny, me and my friends think of strategies how to survive the apocalypse.
My idea revolved around playing the move the fuck out of here strategy. Just move to some advanced country like Russia. If that doesn't work due to security and pandemic reasons-
Welp
Time to move to the other side of the country with no people.
Me and my friends had fun talking.
In reality though, if this happened and is as bad as the apocalypse you see on TV, I would just do the battle of attrition and stay at home for three months and if things don't get better-
Well death is always an option.
Nothing more to say so I guess I'll just go to bed.

Apollyon's Curse
Within the pages of folklore and fantasy, tales of people who chase after the dream of eternity, of living forever, rarely find a happy ending. They are either struck by the grim truth of reality, give up, and return to mortality or face a ghastly realization of their wishes. The latter often the worse fate, as they come to realize, only far too late, that what they sacrificed was worth far more than the time they gained. Ultimately, the common thread in these stories is that “immortality is as much a curse as it is a blessing”. People either realize it early and give up or are doomed to inevitably face its consequences. In the world Enrich lives in, that saying does hold merit. Every pathway towards eternal life has shackles of its own. They bring those high above down to the ground, evening the playing field. It is thanks to these fundamental laws that ambitious mortals are able to defy the heavens and achieve immortality themselves. The variety of methods result in each of these bindings varying in intensity and degree of freedom. Enrich’s path doesn't break this trend. Though, after what he did to himself, most wouldn’t even consider him a living thing anymore. On the day of his ascension, a world’s worth of souls were melted and recast. On that day, the human’s path had reached its conclusion, recast into Apollyon. An artifact, a weapon, is eternal, after all. As for the curse? The payment will be made, as it must. So why not offload the curse to someone else? Mortals throw their lives away for all manner of petty reasons, noble or otherwise, especially in desperation. Eventually, someone will be willing to foot the bill. Most will if given the chance. The bait is far too tempting, after all. Power, status, knowledge. All at their fingertips. If only they say “yes”. And Apollyon is very willing to help any lost souls. If they give up everything in return, of course.

Can the champions of Midgard triumph and avoid Ragnarok, or will the world end in war? PK is a LitRPG lightly based on Norse mythology, with a small amount of inspiration coming from the lost RPG series Too Human as well.I’ll be uploading a chapter every Monday.
