《The Peerless Emperor of the Skies》Chapter 10 – Elixir? No Way!
Advertisement
Solomon was back in the Hub World.
The chilly air no longer caressed his skin. He no longer looked like a gorilla. He no longer was in the reaches of a pervert.
Solomon opened his clock and saw that it was still only four. Only thirty minutes had passed in the real world!
Vr really was a modern miracle... or maybe it was a curse?
People could easily lose their sense of time when they dove into the Vr universe.
The time distortion in Vr was something developers had to be careful with.
Humanity had actually developed an even more distorted time space in Vr, but they did not release it to the public in fear of causing psychological problems.
Solomon had read somewhere that Russia had achieved six times time distortion! You could spend six hours in Vr and only pass one hour in reality!
The very thought of six hour time distortion made Solomon's mind tremble. It was something he wanted to try. Alas, it would be pretty much useless to him, though.
If he had six times time distortion, he would be on another time field than other networks. He wouldn't be able to connect to his favorite games that ran at double time distortion!
It would be a wasted gem....
After checking the time, Solomon checked his messages.
He was excited to see what Saber King Matthew had sent.
User 10052: HOLD ON!!!!!! Don't leak my information! Dooooont!!!! I'll do whatever you want! If you release those posts, my life on Vr will end! I'll have to start all over!! Money? Is it money you want? How about one of my game accounts? I have an almost maxed out character in Space Gate! What is it? Name your price!
Solomon once again felt guilt tugging at his heart. Here he was destroying what seemed to be this old geezer's life blood. Maybe he really was going to far. Sure the old geezer was an annoying troll, but all he did was let out his toxicity. He didn't hurt anybody...

HumbleHut: Don't worry. I've changed my mind.... I deleted everything. Just be less toxic.
Solomon thought he could let the two of them go their separate ways now. He gave Saber King Matthew a good scare, and now he would probably stop messing with him.
User 10052: Yeah right! Like I'll fall for that! You're playing the "nice" guy, aren't you! Ur gonna dump everything out on 4Ch*n! Don't! They'll eat me alive! Just name a price!!!!!
Solomon was about to find something else to do when he got an immediate response.
After reading the message, Solomon let out a crooked smile.
"Doesn't this guy know there are good people out there?"
HumbleHut: Can't you just trust in my good will? I'm not trash like.
User 10052: Trash! you just called me trash! You really are out to get me! You leave me no choice.... I really didn't want to do this..... if you don't make the right decision, you'll definitely regret it! It's the fortune of a life time!
Solomon was slightly intrigued by the response.
"What are you, a fortune teller?"
What could this once in a life time chance be?
HumbleHut: What is it?
After a long, suspenseful wait, there was finally another message.
User 10052: Elixir. I'll give you a real elixir if you let me go. It'll increase your abilities by tenfold! It'll eventually allow you to reach power a thousand fold if you use it well!
"What is this dude talking about?"
What elixir could tempt Solomon? Solomon was league ahead of Saber King Matthew in Immortals of the Skies. Why would he want a peasant's trash? Maybe it was a secret event item? Solomon was going to quit Immortals of the Skies soon. It wouldn't make much of a difference to him even if it could benefit his character.

Was this elixir for another game? It might be a good trade if he liked the game... The games he was looking forward to, however, were going to be released a month from now. Did this geezer pre-order items? That was impossible. The big companies almost never let you pre-purchase items as good as the one he's describing....
It seemed Saber King Matthew was impatient for an answer and sent another message.
User 10052: It's not a virtual elixir. It's an actual potion to make you stronger. It'll increase your life span too! Take it or else you'll regret it!
So it wasn't for a game!
It was an actual magical potion that would lead Solomon down the path of a real immortal!
Solomon knew he had to get this elixir!
He immediately sent a reply.
HumbleHut: No! I'm not interested in drugs! Screw off why don't ya?
Yeah right! Like I'll take some strange dude's random liquids!
Is this old fart being serious? If he is, then he should go get his mental state checked.
How sketchy is this? An old internet troll trying to send me an "elixir"? That has "bad" written all over it!
Would he want to meet in person? Yeah, let Solomon set himself for a hit or kidnapping right now!
Would he want his address to mail it? Yeah! Solomon might as well open his front door for people to steal his stuff!
Solomon wasn't a fool who would give out his information to strangers! Especially not with creeps like this guy!
This guy wanted hack Solomon not too long ago. He probably wanted to speed up the process by doing this.
"No way Jose! Keep that H*rry P*tter crap outa here!" Solomon exclaimed.
Solomon's mood was totally ruined today.
He was embarrassed in front of his peers during lunch, he was assaulted by some pervert in FaceMask, and now some crazy grandpa was trying to send him drugs!
He quickly shut off his Vr equipment.
After removing the gear, he pushed today's events to the back of his mind.
He decided to clear his thoughts by doing some homework and some studying.
Solomon had enough of today.

A Sky of Star and Strength
Jake was just an intelligent kid living a pretty regular life in Mill Creek, Washington. Then the apocalypse happens. Now with his Dad out of the country and totally in yet out his element, this is his story. My take on a system apocalypse based around "life force" as a currency. The main character will have a special power (as will most of the other characters) and be rather OP, you have been warned. Like many of the authors on this site I have no formal writing experience so writing tips and grammar corrections are much appreciated :)

Path of Righteousness
What do you desire? What are you afraid of? You run away from one, pursuing the other. Is that all you are? Conquer your fears. Dig to the bottom and confirm, what you really want... ...For you cannot escape suffering and death. You only have a little time. Use it wisely. Uru, a young boy with no talent for magic or fighting, sets out on a quest to become an avatar of order, the physical embodiment of righteousness, in a distant future, where control of origin energy allows people to defy physics and manipulate causality. Mocked by fate and broken by impossible dreams, all that's left is to stand in defiance to cruel existence. Because there is a Truth out there, somewhere. Singular, transcendent, eternal. What would you sacrifice for it? *** This is a fantastic sci-fi epic. It's going to blend both western and eastern traditional fantasy tropes – like might & magic and cultivation – with rational sci-fi grounded fully in reality, to produce a purely fictional fairy tale. I'd like to deliver something light-hearted and yet wholly serious. An uplifting adventure exploring the unfathomable reaches of humanity, free of indecency, with a healthy dose of humorous banter, legendary beings, and most importantly – lots of exciting, firework-filled mayhem! I've tried reading many web novels, but there's a fundamental problem with them – the eastern ones are annoyingly repetitive, superficial and morally destitute, while western ones are often dark, convoluted and profane. There's only so much one can do to filter out the bad and try to fill in the gaps with their own imagination. It's one thing to eat tasty fast food, but if it's moldy and filled with toxins, then it's not only poisonous, but also disgusting. The appreciation of beauty and higher values is disappearing at an alarming rate. Although there are throngs of talented people out there, none of them are creating what I want to witness – an inspiring battle against impossible odds, ending in absolute victory. A triumph of the spirit so overwhelming, it crushes the spectator into his seat and takes his breath away. I'm looking for a real paragon, so now I'd like to try conceiving one. *** The MC's name comes from Tolkien's Elven dictionary in Silmarillion, 'Uru' meaning 'Fire', and 'Dagnir an Uruloki' meaning 'Slayer of Dragons'. *** Note: I'm neither a native speaker, nor an aficionado of literature – I've never written anything before, and despite proficient English my literary prowess is abysmal. It therefore takes me a painful amount of effort to polish the chapters and bring them up to par. Last year I wrote and posted some on FictionPress, but I stopped since it wasn't going anywhere. The appalling amount of filth and mediocrity being peddled in all the media nowadays – a result of no conspiracy to manipulate the masses, but plain supply and demand – is no longer just the triumph of form over substance, but most worryingly corruption of the latter. Who wants to read about ideals anymore? And yet, masses flock together to gobble up perversion and depravity. That being said, I can't rule out pitiful exposure as the culprit to my failure, so I am now once again trying to increase it here, possibly for the last time. If there are still human beings present, hungry or in need of a detox after eating too much garbage, make yourselves heard, so I can see a reason to continue the story. Otherwise it's pointless – I'm not going to make fodder for the masses, and I'm most certainly not going to throw pearls before swine. I'll simply stop writing altogether.
