《Cartilage Of Life》Chapter 3: Alicia’s Room
Advertisement
*Aria’s POV*
Brother and I were eating our food on the far left corner of the cafeteria, it was hard for me to eat with one hand nonetheless this isn’t the time for me to be weak or to be a coward
After this meal I will be separated from big brother to do a mission which he has entrusted on to me, but how will I go about on getting information from her?
Alicia-san seems very scary even though she was cheerful when we first met her I had a feeling she was a scary wicked woman
I glanced at big brother who was slowly eating his food, how could he be so calm I wonder? I wish I was calm like him maybe one day when I grow up I’ll be like him
With every bite that I take the time towards our departure gets closer, it’s hard to think about something to convince her to tell me stuff
I’ll just have to go along with what she says and if worst comes to worst big brother will come and save me just like when he saved me from those bullies in kindergarten!
Big brother lowered his spoon to the side of his plate, looking at me he casted a gentle smile my way
“It will be okay Aria trust me…”
I nodded there’s nothing else for me to say
Up until now I’ve been trying to control my breathing this hand of mine is it the result of this breathing?
I don’t know and I shouldn’t think of useless things for now
On my right shoulder I felt a gentle touch
“Ari-a-chan~”
Big brother looks up towards the voice behind me, he looks back down at me
“What is this what is this? Is this some kind of mental telepathy between brothers~?”

I stood up from the chair ever so gently and turn around
“Alicia-san…..Please take care of me”
Alicia-san smiles and grab’s both of my cheeks
“I-will Ahhhh! Yutou, Aria is so cute fufu Japanese people are so cute!”
She turns me around and hugs me from my back
“Hehe can I keep him please please~”
Brother flashed her a wry smile and a small awkward chuckle
“Haha I need my brother he is the most precious thing to me”
Alicia smiled and said
“Ho”
My heart skipped a beat, what is this feeling I can’t explain it
“Alright Yutou-kun I’ll be going with Aria-chan now bye bye!”
Alicia-san takes my hand and pulls me alongside her while she walks in a cheerful tip toe like manner
I look back at my brother but she was walking too fast, all I saw was someone who had their arm around my brother’s shoulder
“So what do you think of my room Aria-chan”
When we entered her room I was surprised to be welcomed by such colors and furniture, her room was huge, she had stuffed todays and pink-ish red items all around her room
“Hmmm? Oh you don’t know well every Patient in here has a room specially built for them, each room reflects the person’s personality and desires be it twisted or profound, say Aria-chan how does your room look like?”
“i-i-ts b-b-black and s-s-s-simple!”
“Black and simple? Eh! Do you and your brother have a dull personality come on that’s not fun!”
I laughed awkwardly
“So Aria-chan what do you do for fun? I have a lot of toys here for you to play~”
“i-i-I like t-t-to d-d-draw!”
Alicia-chan moves towards her bed and grabs from paper from the bed side table
“Aria-chan here is something I don’t want you to tell your brother, in every cabinet or bed side table is something similar to a magic hat so if you want something just imagine it and it will be created here that simple”

I was amazed by what she told me but I couldn’t let her get to me either I have to focus on what my brother told me to do
“Alicia-san-“
“No”
“Eh!”
“I’m not Alicia-SAN I am Alicia-Nee sa”
“b-b-b-b-ut”
“Say it~ I won’t reply to you~”
“A-a-a-alicia……Nee san….”
Alicia-san holds her own waist wrapping herself around with her own body, she lets out a small deep sigh
“I like it~”
I was taken back by Alicia-san’s reaction that I stood there silent for a few minutes until she decided to break the silence
“So what did you want to ask Aria-chan?”
Ok now is my chance I have to ask her
“Where are we?”
“Ah that question well it’s a simple question with a simple answer you and I and your brother are dea-“

The Adventures of BLUE EAGLE
"Herald City. A great American metropolis, with gleaming towers and bustling streets. Never before has there been a safer place to live and work, because the citizens know that when disaster strikes, they can count on the protection of BLUE EAGLE. Blue Eagle--also known as David Dufraine--was born with incredible strength, powerful eyebeams, superhuman senses, and the amazing ability of flight. Possessing a strong sense of justice, he seeks to protect the city from criminals who prey on the innocent. Having taught these values to his son Jack, who possesses similar abilities, they protect Herald City as Blue Eagle and Switch the Blue Eaglet! Together, the Father-Son Duo wages a war on crazy criminals and notorious ne'er-do-wells, including the powerful perverter of plant life, QUEEN VENUS. These are the adventures of BLUE EAGLE and SWITCH THE BLUE EAGLET." Welcome, everybody! This superhero adventure is a nostalgic return to the good ol' days of the Filmation and Hanna-Barbera superhero cartoons of the 1960s and 70s. With Super Friends, The Adventures of Super Boy, and The Adventures of Batman and The New Adventures of Batman as inspiration, I hope to take you back to the olden days of wacky stories jam-packed with superhero action and excitement! This is actually a leadup of a much larger project I'm working on (which will be played straight, have a darker and more serious tone, and will be a multi-season serialized epic). I've been itching to publish something with my characters for some time, and this 8 episode miniseries just scratches that itch. So while my main series is being written, I hope you find some enjoyment in some good old fashioned superhero fun.

A Virtual Invasion
An invasion from another dimension is shut down by an Empire's traitor and the world has a scant few decades to build the strength to resist a multidimensional Empire. How will the world fair when no one even knows its doom is one barred gate away? Fortunately, the traitor has a plan. Maybe with a bit of luck and planning, he can build a force to defend the world without anyone realizing it. Author's Thoughts: What is litRPG (From wikipedia) - LitRPG, short for Literary Role Playing Game, is a literary genre combining the conventions of MMORPGs with science-fiction fantasy novels.[1] LitRPG is a literary genre where games or game-like challenges form an essential part of the story. A LitRPG work simultaneously narrates the story of characters inside and outside of the game-world. At least some of the characters in a LitRPG novel therefore understand that they are playing a game: they are 'meta-aware'. So, while Tolkien's Lord of the Rings is a fantasy novel, a book about people creating avatars and interacting in a Lord of the Rings MMORPG would be a LitRPG novel.Why do I read them? You know, I am not too sure. I love MMOs. I played them, quit them, joined up and repeated the cycle. They are fun! They are a massive waste of time but so are most games. Do I want to read about someone else playing them? Sort of?The advent of VR and the possibility of VR someday becoming so immersive that you can't tell them from reality sets the imagination on fire. What if this could be life? But most stories fall short. At the end of the day the protagonist hangs up his VR helmet and goes to have dinner with his mom and dad or other family and it becomes meaningless. It's like the story that ends because the main character woke up and nothing you read matters.There have been some books that explore the concept of the intersection of reality and total immersion VR. Enders Game is a classic. There were a few others that escape me but they exist, however, the cross between the game and reality is weak.So what if the game was real? The technology needed for total immersion VR is so advanced that by the time we reach that goal technology should have naturally evolved to include several items. You must have direct neural input. You simply can't have a total immersion (all senses and perfect presence) experience without this basic prerequisite. If you have direct neural access, you can probably do neat things like feed knowledge and skills directly to that person. You can undoubtedly do many horrible things as well. Muscles are controlled by the brain. If you control the brain why would you let the body just sit there and rot? A person that sits unmoving for 24 hours a day will have their body whither away just like a coma patient. However, if you control the brain you could control the muscles. On a basic level, this would be isometric impulses, working muscle group against muscle group to avoid atrophy. Taken to its logical conclusion you would be able to gain muscle mass and program muscle memory. The flip side is that you could remote control their body... but let's not go there. So what would people do if it were real? Well, they would probably limit and regulate it since the drawbacks are very obvious. Even if you look at the basic aspects of this you can see some negative possibilities. Look at the Sword Art Online anime. Personally, I think they missed the boat by putting a bomb in the VR helmet. Do you really need a bomb when you have direct access to the brain?So what kind of events would you need to have a situation where the obvious drawbacks haven't been explored? Maybe a society where the advancement of technology has so far outstripped the explorations of its applications that ignorance was truly bliss? Okay, so I had to put in an alien invasion to kickstart the premise, but that was just one of the possibilities.
