《The Founders》09

All five of them open their eyes at the same moment. They sit up and look around. "Wait, where is the school go?" Nesrin asks looking at the cave walls. They all get up from the ground and look at each other. The four siblings start smiling brightly.
"Well Nesrin, welcome in Narnia I guess." Peter says happily. They walk to the end of the cave to see the sun high in the sky with no cloud as company. The beautiful blue clear sky above them and on their right the deep blue ocean. White soft sand and a cliff on their left. The siblings look at each other and start running without saying a word. They trow away their shows and socks, untie their ties and get into the water.
Nesrin follows and they start splashing each other. Lucy even falls into the water. Edmund is the first one to come clear again noticing ruins on top of the cliffs. "Edmund... Edmund?" The siblings scream.
"Where do you supposed we are?" Edmund asks confused suddenly. Nesrin looks up and smiles.
"Didn't you guys say this is Narnia?" She asks softly.
"Yeah but I just don't remember any ruins in Narnia." Edmund replies nodding to the cliffs. Everyone looks up at them and walk out of the water. Peter takes the lead and it's almost like his body knows the way. It seems as if he'd done the route a million times.
They get on top of the cliff and look at the ruins. Nesrin is still shocked by the beauty of the country. "Who do you think lived here?" Lucy asks looking back at everyone. Susan picks up some golden piece of chess.
"I think we did." She replies. Everyone walks up to her and look at the little piece. Nesrin feels stupid by not knowing what it means.

"Hey that's mine." Edmund says finally joining the group.
"What do you mean?" Peter asks as confused as Nesrin looks.
"Well I don't have a pure golden chess set back in Finchley or do I?" Edmund asks sarcastically. He takes the piece and puts it in his bag. Lucy sees something and starts running towards it making the others follow her.
"Don't you see it?" Lucy asks. She places her siblings in front of the ruins and let them look over the place. "This place with walls and columns there." She says pointing at it.
"Cair Paravel." Peter replies softly. The other siblings seem to understand what he is talking about.
"Sorry what?" Nesrin asks being done with the confusion. The siblings look at her as if they forgot she was even there.
"This was our home, when we lived here." Susan says smiling. Obviously. Nesrin thinks and rolls her eyes.
They decide to take a better look at the place. If this was their home, then their really old. Nesrin stated. She follows Edmund who squats down next to a huge rock. "Catapults." He mumbles.
"Sorry what?" Nesrin asks again confused. Edmund stands up and faces his siblings and friend. "Cair Paravel didn't just break, it was attacked." He says.
"That may be true, I don't know how long you guys haven't been here but castles usually don't fade that easily." Nesrin adds.
Peter's eye falls on the door and he drags Edmund along. They pull it open and break through the door. It's dark inside but Peter rips off a part of his uniform and picks up a stick. "You probably don't have any matches in there do you?" Peter asks nodding at Edmund's bag.
"No but..." Edmund reaches inside and takes out a flashlight. "Would this help?" He asks smiling.

"You may could've said that a bit earlier." Peter replies making everyone laugh. Edmund clicks it on and goes inside first. Lucy, Susan, Nesrin and then Peter walk in too. They go downstairs in the sort of bunker. After going down for so long they pull away a gate that was in the way and look at four chests with four statues behind them.
The four siblings run each to a chest and opens them eagerly. They look at all the stuff there is and smile. Nesrin looks at another chest, witch is the word carved onto it. Lucy picks up some papers that laid on the floor, the others go up to her to read them.
After a time, they will return. The kings and queens of Old, not alone this time they will be joined by a young witch able to use her magic for the better. Working together all five of them, can end the war of the Dark.
"What does that mean?" Nesrin asks. Four siblings look at her and Susan smiles.
"It's a prophecy." She says taking over the papers from Peter who had taken them from Lucy.
"But a prophecy? About who?" Nesrin asks again being so confused.
"You!" Lucy says. "It's about us four and a witch who can do magic. You've been attending Hogwarts for the past four years. It's you!" Lucy says happily.
"But I'm not a great witch yet, I hardly know how to do any battle spells." Nesrin replies worried.
"There isn't written that the witch is a good one." Peter says smiling.
"Funny." Nesrin replies sarcastically.
"Then that box might be for you." Edmund points out looking at the box with the word witch onto it.
"I mean no one else should open it so, go ahead Nesrin, maybe there's some fresh clothes in there." Susan says while she returns to her box. Everyone picks out an outfit and also Nesrin has one.

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.
