《A dry land》Chapter 7
Advertisement
Luce and Bella are getting ready for their first date. Luce wore a light blue long sleeve tucked in, in black pants. Bella wore a plain brown dress. Luce got to their meeting place first. While waiting, some girls were looking at him, someone talked to him, to hit him up. Bella, not so far from the meeting location, she saw Luce talking to another girl.
Bella approached him calmly while he was talking to someone. She waived at Luce when he look around. He was speechless. He never saw Bella that pretty.
"Excuse me, I have to go", Luce said to the girl then approach Bella. "Hey . . . Uhmm . . . Are you ready?", He said with a shy look. "Yes", Bella replied smiling.
They both started to walk in the street. Bella was happily looking around. Luce can't take his eyes off Bella. Bella stares back at him, and his heart skips a beat.
"Oii, why are you just staring at me, look around the town, it's very beautiful here"
"But you're more beautiful", Luce said while staring at her.
*Cough* "I mean of course it's beautiful here, and it's more beautiful because I'm with someone special to me"
Bella smirks. "Yeah yeah, I know, I know", she pretends she didn't hear what he said first.
"Hey Luce, let's go to this cats cafe, I heard they have a lot of cats. And their blueberry cheesecakes are good", she excitedly dragged Luce inside.
After eating, they go to the carnival, play some games and win some. Unexpectedly there is special event for couples.
"Calling out for couples to join this special event. There are huge prizes awaiting the top 3 winners"
"Hey Luce there's something interesting happening in there, let's check it out."
"Sure let's go"
The event needs 8 couples to participate in it. And there are already 7 couples participating in the event, as they got near it, the mc noticed the two of them. He called them out to be the last participants to join.

"LET'S GIVE THESE COUPLES A ROUND OF APPLAUSE!!! This event will test their relationship. There are 3 prizes for each place. The 3rd place prize is a tree plant, this will measure how long they're being a couple will take. 2nd place prize, is a couple necklace artifact called Minteau, if they are wearing this they can see each other's emotions or feelings. And for the 1st prize is a 3 day vacation in Finlena Island, a very beautiful place to relax and enjoy. Travelling, food, and a transient beach house are all free. PARTICIPANTS, ARE YOU READY??!!"
Bella is very excited. She's so excited that she doesn't think of winning any prize.
The first challenge was to feed each other. In 5 minutes they need to feed each other as much as they can. The couple that has least food they fed to each other will be eliminated. 2 couples eliminated in the end, there are 6 couples left. Luce and Bella are safe
The next challenge is a race where they run while carrying the girl in either back or front and a human horseback riding. Luce struggled a bit in human horseback riding since it's a hard position, but Bella is light. 1 couple eliminated, 5 couples left.
The third challenge was a bit harder. The couple needs to bring the egg from point to point. But they need to kiss the egg to lift it and bring the other side. The participant who brought the least egg on the other side will be eliminated in 5 minutes. While they are holding the egg, Luce puts too much pressure on it. That makes the egg slip on their mouth and their lips touched a bit. 1 couple eliminated and 1 couple got disqualified for fighting in game. 3 couples left, including Luce and Bella.

"We're down to 3 couples, and there are last 2 challenges remaining. Let's proceed with the next challenge!"
The next challenge is easy for Luce and Bella, because they practice their magic a lot. The couple needs to knock down the target that will appear and disappear. Luce and Bella got a high advantage. 1 couple eliminated.
"OOOHH!!! We're down to 2 couples. Let's get on to the next challenge"
The final challenge was kiss your couple. The last couple to seperate from kissing will win. The other couple can do it since they are engaged. But Luce and Bella were at disadvantage since they don't have that kind of relationship yet. They conceded and accepted the 2nd prize, the necklace Minteau.
"That concludes our event"
~at night~
They are both happy Luce and Bella eat dinner in a casual dining.
"I had a lot of fun, in this date with you. Thank you"
"Me too. At least now we can check each other's emotions", the necklace that Luce's wearing emits pinkish red light, which means she is in love. "You can't hide it to me Bella", he adds.
"Yeah yeah, whatever", she smiles cutely.

Yagacore: The Dungeon that Walks Like a Man
The Dungeon System is breaking. Now the mutant cores will rise. Zaria was just a normal woman, living a simple life, right up until demons burst down her door and ate her heart. Normally that would be the end of the story, but Zaria was reborn as a dungeon core. Except nothing is normal for her. Due to instability throughout the universe, Dungeon Core generation is experiencing some unique bugs and glitches. Most of these mutant cores just explode after only a few hours of life. Zaria is one of those cores. Luckily for her, there’s a way to prevent her detonation - she must find and form a bond with a human witch to create a striga. Only then will she be stable enough to survive. Normally, this would be a death sentence anyway, but Zaria’s mutation gives her an ability no other dungeon core has had before: Legs. Now a walking house, Zaria sets off to find her striga, fight demons and monsters, build up a dungeon worthy of being run by the greatest heroes in the lands…and feed the insatiable appetite of her mimic mobs. Life sure isn’t simple anymore.From the author of Dinosaur Dungeon, Factory of the Gods, and others! Plus part of the same universe as those books as well as Roots and Steel and Block Dungeon!

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.
